In an interview on the MinnMaxShow, Visceral Games producer Zach Mumbach spoke about Amy Hennig’s 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars game, which was canceled by EA. The producer criticized the game company, saying they missed out on “the chance to make the greatest Star Wars game ever made and a possible Game of the Year 💙contender.”
Hennig joined 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Visceral Games in 2014 with Todd Stashwick to work on Project Ragtag, the name for the Star Wars project. Three years later, EA shut down down Visceral Games and delayed the Star Wars game. Hennig ending up leavin෴g EA a few months later and started a small studio to work on virtual reality games.
Mumbach says a substantial amount of work went into the Star Wars project💎 before EA axed it. Although the developers encountered numerous issues in developing the game, the producer believes the game had a lot of potential an🎉d had advanced significantly in the development of the story, setup, and characters.
Project Ragtag was a third-person action-adventure video game set within the Star Wars universe. It involved a large-scale heist following the events of Star Wars IV: A New Hope. In the gameplay, players would alternate between multiple character perspectives as the heist cam🧸e together.
Several former Visceral employees claimed there had been numerous internal conflicts with Hennig, who they believed wanted to retain creative control of the game. Eventually, there was mounting tension between Visceral and EA over the direction of the game since it lacked recognizable Star Wars characters or Jedi force powers.
According to Mumbach, there was a lot of gameplay developed that people will never get a chance to see. "[It was] this crazy AT-ST moment which was really cool. You were on foot running from it and it was trying to hunt you down but you were more agile, slipping through these alleyways, b🐈arreling through and crashing and using all the destruction of Frostbite,” he says.
EA has moved on to other single-player Star Wars games. Last year, the studio released 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, which received favorable reviews from critics and sold more than eight million copies. Mumbach, however, says he hasn’t played the game yet. Instead, he’s focused on indie airship game that he’s developing called Airborne Kingdom.
