For nylig slog EA fast, at som led i deres store fyringsrunde, så havde de lukket ned for et "Star Wars FPS Project" hos Respawn, som flere rygter tidligere har peget på handlede om en Mandalorian-dusørjæger.
Nu er detaljer om det nu aflyste projekt så sluppet ud via Tom Henderson ovre hos Insider-Gaming, og han bekræfter at spillet var lineært, men ville have tilbudt åbne områder, hvor spillere kunne jagte store dusører en række mål.
"The game started with 'the den', which was the player's base of operations, that contained your ship, a map of the galaxy, an upgrade station, an armory, and more. It's understood that it would be here where you would select which bounties you'd want to pursue. The player could then equip the weapons they wanted, upgrade their armor, and then go into the ship and land on the planet where the bounty is located. The game was not an open world and instead offered a linear level experience, but did have some larger open areas for the player to explore and find their bounties and other secrets. Combat was described as very fast-paced due to the Mandalorian jetpack that allowed for vertical dashing and horizontal boosting for reaching those high-to-reach places. It was also said that there was a takedown feature, which would see your character perform takedowns, somewhat reminiscent of DOOM (but a lot less gorey) to take down enemies."
Det værste er, at selvom at Respawn kun havde en lille demo, og så var alle reaktioner fra dem der prøvede spillet ovenud positive.
"First, it should be said that by all accounts this game was fantastic - and that isn't just coming from the developers, but from everybody who had the opportunity to play the game. Feedback from playtests was always positive and surrounded by buzz, with the developers enjoying the entire process of working on the project. That being said, for whatever reason, EA felt like the game was too much of a financial risk and has decided to pull the plug."
Desværre vil spillet aldrig se dagens lys.
