So do we know anything about this game besides the fact that it's Star Wars and has fancy cutscenes?

edit: Oh, I actually wasn't familiar with Quantic Dream by name and had to google. Heh, guess the entire game is just going to be fancy cutscenes then. Pass. >_>

I wish they had picked a different time period to try to make popular. I dont know anything about High Republic but I know its like a few hundred years before the movies. It's after KOTOR time.

I want to go the opposite direction. I'd love them to develop more pre KOTOR time. KOTOR is like 5 thousand years in the past. I want like 10 or even 20 thousands years ago

first discovery of the Force
First civilizations
Beginning of the Jedi
The war that caused Dark Jedi to leave and become Sith

Any or all of that would be cool to see

"High Republic" is a historical period several hundred years before the films.

I thought that worthless hack David Cage and his company was still enbroiled in sexual harassment scandals?

What a fucking waste.

Didn't it make an appearance in the Empires End novels though? Which are canon
It did

What's left of the Empire stumbles onto it and speeds off into the Unknown Regions with it

So... it's going to sell shitton of copies and win a bunch of awards, but nobody actually likes the game.

Then we repeat with the next one.

Kotaku has heard the same from a third, separate source with knowledge of the studios development plans. According to this individual, Quantic Dream has indeed been working on a Star Wars game for approximately a year and a half, but it wont be the conventional type of quick-time-event-driven game weve come to expect from the French studio. Instead, they said, the game will have more traditional action gameplay, and possibly even open world and multiplayer elements.

Well fuck off then.

Anyway, a brief run-down of High Republic is that it's set a few hundred years prior to the Battle of Yavin. The galaxy is enjoying its longest period of galactic peace, the Jedi are held in high regard in the galaxy, meaning high-ranking government seeks counsel regularly from them. The current Chancellor of the Republic is interested in "Great Works", efforts to push the Republic even higher as a civilization, which include things like having a major Jedi outpost near the Outer Rim (very thinly settled), major increases in communication capabilities, peace between the Quarren and Mon Calamari, and so on.

The main conflict is that's all put into jeopardy because of the surge of a pirate faction known as the Nihil. While they would seem largely unremarkable to look at given their "Viking" style aesthetic and patched together ships, they have a serious and uncanny ability to appear just about anywhere and disappear just as easily.

The whole thing starts with a major disaster where a regular old transport ship seemingly flies apart in hyperspace, and pieces of it fly, through hyperspace, towards a populated and galactically important planet.

I've basically given you a rundown of some of the early chapters of the first book in the series. Honestly so far it's about average-to-good. Not really blowing my socks off, but most of the characters are likable or interesting enough to see where they go.

For the most part it's a different setting than the Galactic Civil War. No Sith or dark side users. Very few characters from then are alive at this point. Yarael Poof does have some lines so far as a member of the Council and Yoda (minor spoilers) is actually so far only mentioned, but hasn't thus far taken part in any story, so they're clearly not relying on old characters to carry this.
