she just talked about the detail what what going withthe franchises over all and how cool it is to work with Amy Henning. and she was trying not to spill details on Amy's project . but there is content from the new films in the works for the games .Anything new in that interview?
Finally, Amy Hennig, the director behind the acclaimed action-adventure Uncharted series, spoke more about the new game she is working on teased via a short clip in an EA Star Wars showreel at E3.
The game, which has no name yet, will be out in 2018 and sounds like it will feature multiple protagonists. Uncharted was specifically mentioned as a source of inspiration for gameplay and stills showed a fair amount of free-running and climbing by two characters.
Hennig also spoke of her method in recreating the feeling of popular action-adventure films through the Uncharted games like Indiana Jones by deconstructing and reconstructing the plots into component parts which can translate to gameplay.
“The difference between Star Wars and Indiana Jones is that there aren’t side characters, there are co-protagonists, and so the same thing is true of our game,” Hennig said.
“They only escape the Death Star because everyone does their part in parallel. The challenge for us then is how do we enable that in gameplay, and that’s why we deconstruct and reconstruct.”
Hennig said the team would now “go dark” while working on the project, but plenty of details are hidden in existing shots and footage of the game that fans have not found yet, so keep digging.

But there's no such thing as too much Star Wars
[FONT="][/FONT]
[FONT="]This year, the Star Wars Celebration fan event will be the last one until 2019. Meaning 2018 will not have one, according to Lucasfilm on Celebration's website.
"The next official Celebration is slated for a location and date soon-to-be announced, in 2019," read a statement from Inside the Magic.
The Star Wars Celebration event began in 1999 to celebrate the launch of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. When it first started, the events were not on a set schedule but would happen with the release of the following movies. But today, new installments come out every year and this has bolstered the event into a mostly yearly event. But they've announced that there is not an event in 2018.
This year's celebration takes place April 13-16 in Orlando, Florida. It's also likely that this is when Lucasfilm will release the first trailer for The Last Jedi. Plenty of staff, including Writer-Director Rian Johnson and Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy, will appear on panels to talk about Star Wars and the new film specifically.
There's also news of a number of new Star Wars games, including Battlefront 2 and another unnamed entry.

We'll also learn more about Battlefront 2's campaign.

[FONT="]Ever since Disney acquired the rights to Star Wars, they've been carefully looking at how to approach the brand in all entertainment mediums. For the last few years, it's been hard to tell with how the company will approach the video game aspect of Star Wars. They've given control to EA who have assigned multiple projects to a number of studios like DICE, Respawn, and Visceral but only one game has released so far.
Last year, we were given a brief glimpse at what all the other studios are doing with Star Wars but it still remained mostly unclear with what they are making. Perhaps the most interesting project in development right now is Visceral's. It has former Uncharted writer Amy Hennig penning the script and the team behind one of the best survival horror franchises is making the rest of it all come together. No one really knows what it's about, but it looks as if it might blend Uncharted with Star Wars based off concept art and a VERY short glimpse at the game running in-engine.
According to some new rumors, it sounds like we may get our first trailer and details for the game at the upcoming Star Wars Celebration event which is also rumored to hold the first trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi. The rumors come from Jordan Maison from Cinelinx who also leaked that there would be Rogue One DLC for Star Wars: Battlefront.
Maison also mentioned that the primary focus of the gaming panel will be on Battlefront 2's campaign. The 2015 Star Wars: Battlefront was well received by many due to it's authentic Star Wars feel, but many fans felt that it was missing a fully-fleshed out campaign mode. EA has promised a campaign mode will be included in the sequel due out this year, but has yet to mention anything else about it.Follow

Its been a while since fans were able to hear about Visceral Games in-development Star Wars title. The game is especially awaited, given how the team includes Amy Hennig and Todd Stashwick.
While some were hoping to see even a few updates of the game at E3 2017, there wasnt a hint of it in sight. Hennig and Stashwick took to Twitter to explain their decision on why this was the case.
Responding over Twitter, Hennig explained that DICE and Motive were supposed to enjoy the limelight in the meantime, to promote and showcase whats already been done in Star Wars: Battlefront 2:

@realbenfeldman @amy_hennig DICE and Motive have something great w/ #Battlefront2. It's their time. We will have our day in the twin suns. No fear. It will be glorious.4:54 PM - 10 Jun 2017
The reason is understandable, given the fanfare that has already come with many a detail reveal for Star Wars: Battlefront 2. However, it gives a rather tight window for the developers, since the Star Wars game is expected to debut sometime around the release window that he Han Solo movie is expected to arrive.
It is reassuring that the developers are confident about the game, even though theres hardly any other detail revealed for it. For starters, the most that we know is that it will be set between the events in Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. At the same time, Hennig will pretty much apply the skills that she put in creating the dashing hero Nathan Drake and putting someone like him in the Star Wars universe.
Hopefully, well get more details about Visceral Games Star Wars title in the near future.

We're never getting another Knights of the Old Republic on consoles, are we?
they're busy with their own project's sky forge being one of them . I doubt they want to be going to being used and then dumped on again when project fails like fallout vegas etc. and with how bowareis now that' like what might happen if they were linked EA will make them the scape goat.I was sure a remake would pop up somewhen. I would rather Obsidian be involved in KOTOR over Bioware though. That's not happening.
Take all details and rumors with a grain of salt.

[FONT="]It looks like some details on the upcoming Star Wars game from Visceral Games has leaked!
At the beginning of 2016, we were warned to temper our hype for Visceral Games' new Star Wars game, which was announced in 2015, as the game was still years away. Details on the upcoming game, helmed by Amy Hennig - the former creative director for the Uncharted series at Naughty Dog, have been light (we got a peek at the game once), but Visceral did spare some time to deny the game being an open-world RPG.
With all the silence around the game, there's a lot left unknown. It appears as though something on the game's plot has leaked - at least according to Making Star Wars (which has been down since the rumor began circling). Though the source has not been verified, it is being reported that actor/writer Todd Stashwick, who was supposed to be in Uncharted 4 prior to Hennig's departure from Naughty Dog, will be in the game.
"Todd Stashwick (12 Monkeys, The Riches, the Originals, Supernatural, Gotham and writer of Viscerals Star Wars game) is playing Dodger. Dodger isnt his real name. He was forced into the criminal underworld when he dodged the draft into Imperial service, leaving home on very bad terms. When he decided to run he became wanted by the Empire and basically went into hiding in the seedy underbelly of the galaxy. He learned to be charming and how to talk fast. However, his life got a lot worse after the destruction of his home world of Alderaan and he found himself on a wanted survivors list held by the Empire (a story idea which popped up in Marvels Leia comic series).
"When the Rebels blew up the Death Star, the Empire focused its retribution towards the outer rim where the terrorists that blew up the battle station originated from. This is bad for Dodger but also gives him opportunities to make money. The Empires new involvement with the outer rim shakes up the criminal underworld in interesting and threatening ways to Dodger and his compatriots. Friends begin to turn on one another and criminals become heroes willing to aid the rebels for the first time.What do you think?
"Dodger is thrust into the story when he has the opportunity to work for Jabba the Hutt (more on that in a future update). The job will give Dodger the money he needs to buy himself off the list of Alderaanian survivors via corrupt Imperials. In the process Dodger finds something terrifying about what the Empire wants to do with the weapon that hits close to home and forces him to confront his past and the destruction of his home-world head on.
"Dodger is completely cable of taking care of himself and his foes. Hes armed with a light whip/grapple stick and a blaster. His signature move is to activate the light whip/grapple stick and ensnare his enemies with his left hand and then blast them into oblivion with the the pistol in his right hand. There are a lot of variants on these weapons which might mean they just conceptualized a lot of these things or there will be DLC and variants to obtain in game. Either way, he uses his magic lasso and his pistol to stop his enemies cold."

[FONT="]Robie Mattox is (allegedly) her name.
[FONT="]Visceral's Star Wars game was a disappointing omission from E3 2017, but the developers apparently felt that they weren't ready to show off the game. That, however, isn't stopping the rumor mill from turning, as new details are coming out concerning a possible partner in crime for the protagonist said to be called "Dodger."[/FONT]
[FONT="]According to this latest rumor as reported by **************.net, Robie Mattox will play a significant role "at the center of the story" accompanying Dodger on his journey and serve as a protagonist for a future sequel to the game. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Here is her character description courtesy of **************:[/FONT]Robie Mattox is a woman in her early thirties that is Dodgers partner in crime. Shes a gunslinger with an attitude and is one of the only people Dodger can trust, both personally and in a fight. We cannot understate her importance to the series being laid out right now as shes our other main hero. Supposedly the plan is to have her take center stage in a sequel down the road.[FONT="]Mattox is being depicted as played by Natalie Morales who is known for her roles in Grinder and Parks and Recreation. Visual details include "a Han Solo-style holster strapped around her right leg," a hat similar to those the Rebels wore on Endor in Return of the Jedi, and a Sniper Rifle as her weapon of choice.[/FONT]
Like most heroes in the Star Wars universe, Robies parents were killed when she was young. She grew up an orphan on 1313 after being taken in by the Wandering Star crime family. Robie has some weird hangups. She doesnt like droids. Artificial life creeps her out. She would be right at home with Wuher at the cantina on Tatooine. This will apparently put her at odds with Doc, Dodgers field medic droid.
[FONT="]Visceral's Star Wars project was originally announced all the way back in 2015, but we were warned to keep expectations in check as the game was still pretty far off. The game is helmed by Amy Hennig, the ex-Creative Director at Naughty Dog for the Uncharted series and rumors of it being an open-world RPG have previously been shot down.[/FONT]
[FONT="]All we can do right now is keep playing the waiting game.[/FONT]
