Academy had a cheat code that cranked it up to maximum carnage, but it had arms/legs/heads flying occasionally even in normal gameplay.

New enemy types, most of which are Mecha-Mooks.

From what I can tell it seems like they're incorporating a sort of Sekiro-style into the combat now; that lower bar looks like a posture gauge that you can break to open them up to kill moves.

That was how it worked in the first game, too. Sekiro came out in March 2019; Fallen Order came out in November that year. I think that both studios were trying to figure out how to do fast-paced combat on a Soulslike template without a stamina bar and ended up converging on the same solution.

The difference is that Fallen Order (and from the looks of it, Survivor) doesn't reward breaking enemy posture with an instant finisher like Sekiro does (outside of the weakest mob enemies that you would've killed in 2-3 hits anyway). It just breaks their guard and gives you an opening to deal out a flurry of unblocked attacks before their posture resets.

How dare they tell us the Battle Droids are hilarious and then not play us a single line of dialogue!

Anywho, I like that they specifically turned to droids because they needed enemy types and variety that were difficult to make from just troopers or other organic enemies.

I wonder if you'll eventually end up befriending any battle droids in this one. Good! aligned battle droids tends to happen relatively often in post PT-era stuff, and I think Lucasfilm might really like the image of Jedi fighting alongside them.

It's good to see we have the whole Mantis crew again.

I saw two seconds of fighting alongside Merrin in-gameplay and am now ready for it to be late April, please.

That big armored dude... was that a "humanoid mode" Gen'dai?

That has been the running theory since he first appeared in one of the first trailers.

Would make for quite the memorable boss fight I'm sure.

IIRC he was officially confirmed to be a Gen'Dai in one of the overviews a couple months ago, yeah,

Someone claimed that one of the antagonists was going to be a High Republic-era fallen Jedi.

#37: Mar 21st 2023 at 11:44:42 AM

That is also confirmed, yeah. We've known him and the Gen'Dai will be working together for a while.

He's the guy who says "how could you let the Republic fall tot his machine of an Empire" in the trailer. He's also the guy we see Cal find in the bacta tank in previous trailers and some of the official art.

So we might be getting a villainous Jedi who has not fallen to the Dark Side, interesting.

At least in Legends Gen'Dai are one of the few species with lifespan surpassing those of whatever-Yoda-is; it's entirely possible the Republic's Golden Age is well within living memory for this dude.

I've really wanted one of these for a while, too. Ever since we got Ferren Barr in the comics.

The final gameplay trailer is here.

Some awesome looking Cal and Merrin teamup stuff here. Also looks at the Imperial Palace and a glimpse of the Gen'Dai using his abilities.

The sight of the Jedi Temple covered in Imperial banners is heartbreaking.

The horror.

You can have, among other options, a mullet in Fallen Order.

Me, I'm totally going to have Cal rep that gigantic lumberjack beard.
