More grindy is less fun. QED.
And I don't know when you last played SWTOR but it's really not that hard and hasn't been for years. Like at all, unless you deliberately try and run veteran or master modes without being properly geared.
A Sequel to Jedi: Fallen Order has been Announced, Along With Two Other New Games

I tried playing it about 6 years ago. Was ok at first then I kept dying. Less fun.
I no longer have a rig that can run it and it's of no interest to me any more. It's a weird game to begin with, and I just the plot lines very underwhelming.
That sound kind of annoying, I tend to like playing alone most of the time. I do occasionally play some multiplayer stuff, but I don't like the idea of them forcing you to play with others as the only way to move forward in the game.
Yep.
Don't get me wrong, the game had its positives. The setting and music made you really feel like you were on Tatooine. The housing system allowed you to pop an igloo in Bestine and be a part of a community. Crafters could plop machinery down and mine for minerals or water 24/7. The original profession skill tree system allowed you to be anything you wanted. You could be a pistoleer/armoursmith or swordsmith/medic if you wanted to be. I was a Bounty Hunter/Rifleman and enjoyed taking npc bounties or even player bounties if I felt like having a challenge. Other days I would log on and slaughter animals for their skins so I could sell them to an armoursmith(as long as he was on line.) It's just after awhile that got old and with the drop in population got more and more difficult to do. Then the NGE came along and neutered the profession system down to 9 and thus, what little interest I had left in the game was gone.
I'd pop in and out over the years just to see what changes they were doing, but the world would always look like ghost towns with a few npcs walking around. The profession storylines that were added weren't bad, but once you finished that there was nothing much to do as they never did add any more expansions to the game. The game breaking bugs never did get fixed, and the rubberbanding would still pop up on occasion. With less buggy and more gamer friendly games like WOW around, the game was destined to be cancelled.

I wonder if the FPS will be a Jedi Knight sequel.
I suspect the main reason SWTOR is celebrating it's decennial while SWG is a fast fading memory is precisely that it was designed to function perfectly well as a single player RPG, meaning it could weather the lull times without it seeming to feel deserted. Of course there are planets that do feel deserted (Corellia has always been a ghost town) but that just plays into the narrative as most of these locations are meant to be warzones.
The game has only felt empty to me when the fleet stations get low, but even then in all this time I've never known one not to at least have a few dozen people running around.
The other reason of course is going F2P early on. When the barrier to entry is "zero" it means there's always someone giving it a go for the first time.
Well it can hardly be a sequel to a game that isn't canon these days, plus any modern game that's going to involve sabre combat is much more likely to be third person, which of course 'Jedi: Fallen Order' did, so I suspect that franchise has taken over that side of things.
If anything they may do something more Dark Forces inspired, but I doubt it. These days FPS generally means multiplayer. So probably another Battlefront. Personally I'd rather see a remake, or even quasi-sequel to Republic Commando, but that might be a little pie-in-the-sky.

Making a sequel to it doesn't necessarily mean they'd have to continue the same story. It could be a game set in the same IP but with a new character and new story and new era. I agree, the days of Katarn are over, but I think it'd be a shame if it were just another Battlefront. The SW game IP currently needs diversification.
True story about Republic Commando: Decades ago, I had posted an idea on a popular gaming forum for a Star Wars FPS to be a counterpoint to Jedi Knight, the same way TIE Fighter would be a counterpoint to X-Wing, essentially giving us a story from the point of view of the Empire. Several posters and I became quite engaged with the idea and began hashing out details of what a game like that could be like, including the idea for it to be somewhat tactical following a group of stormtroopers. Fast forward several years later, and Republic Commando was announced, and although the idea morphed into New Republic era, it was still amazingly close to the idea of what we had discussed on that forum all those years ago.
And let's not forget that we're getting a remake of the first Knights of the Old Republic.
Well, they don't have to be mutually exclusive. There were a ton of games about Jedi before Disney took over the franchise.
Don't expect "Star Wars eclipse" to come out anytime in the near future

Be thankful for small mercies.
I wasn't expecting it at all. What is it?
It's a new game from Quantic Dream.
If thing's are that much of a mess with it, I'm kind of surprised they would have even announced it this early.

Yeah, I guess that's true.
Given that the trailer just looked like they randomly threw a bunch of Star Warsy shots together against some dramatic music, I wouldn't be surprised if this will turn out to be one of those projects where not even the people making it really know what it's supposed to be about (for reference, see Anthem's fuster cluck of a development history.) Add an extra layer of that signature Quantic Dream fuckery over the top, and we'll be lucky if it just gets straight up cancelled before being inflicted on an audience.
The trailer was outsourced apparently.
Respawn had job openings a couple weeks before the announcement for work on a AAA single player shooter. So it's probably single player only.
Plus it's being made by Respawn, if it was Battlefront 3, it would probably be made by DICE again.

The developers have stated that it will be different from their usual games. But I've always found their games to be rather weird, so having them do a big mainstream franchise feels kind of weird to me.
On top of that, there are different genres, and not everybody is not going to be into everything. With SW being as popular as it is, it can afford to share certain aspects across genres. I have a friend who doesn't play FPS games due to motion sickness, but that shouldn't lock him out of an experience, for instance. Yeah, I realize it's the reverse in the current argument, but I think the same would be true the other way around. Back in the days, you had RPGs, multiple FPSes, platformers, third-person shooters, that all heavily featured the jedi in some manner. Why? Well, because they're popular, it's what people want access to.
And I heard somewhere, I think it was a previous press-release, stating that there was a commitment to more single-player experiences, which I think includes even FPSes. And they can make more Battlefronts if they want, but why single out those who don't play competitive shooters? That's one thing I'll never go near.

I love Quantic Dream games but their gameplay sucks, so i am curious how and if they fix that
