    Set in the High Republic era, Star Wars Eclipse will be "an intricately branching action-adventure game that can be experienced in many ways, and puts the destinies of multiple playable characters in your hands". A release date has yet to be announced.

    I haven't played a Quantic Dream game since 'Fahrenheit'.
    That's it. That's the whole post.

    I have played heavy rain and Detroit bevond human. The gameplay in the games are terrible but the storys were good

    Lisa: Dad, was that a commercial for Star Wars?

    Homer: I don't know.

    My guess: This is going to involve a Father searching for his missing son across the galaxy who's been kidnapped by bounty hunters. :D

    And what the heck is Voldemort doing in SW?

    I had no idea this was going to be a thing until I saw the teaser trailer last night. It looked frigging bad ass.

    It's great looking, but the only Quantic Dreams game I've played was Heavy Rain, and I didn't make it very far since I had trouble seeing the options that popped up on the TV I had at the time, so I'm not sure what to make of them doing this.

    Yeah, I've read some stuff about a toxic culture at Quantic Dream. Their last game, Detroit: Become Human got some criticism for the female android storyline, where she's treated as a battered-wife analogy and is also a victim of torture. I seem to recall it left a bad taste in some reviewers' mouths.

    I can't believe they gave David Cage a Star Wars game, as if Star Wars couldn't get any worse, they find a way.

    Well, SW as a narrative game kind of makes sense, but it will all be in the way it's approached.

    Interesting though how a Trek game, a SW game, and an Expanse game have all been announced, and they're all narrative games of possible similar style.
