Probably because the WWI setting of BF1 and the newness of Titanfall made EA concerned they couldn’t get away with that kind of addition to those games without driving off a substantial portion of their potential customers. Star Wars on the other hand has a practically unparalleled brand recognition and base…

You’re right, the first things are airspeeders rushing toward a bunch of walkers. I guess we’re getting a repeat of the Battle of Hoth. *sigh*

“I ignored the pundits who repeated over and over again that he would not follow through on his promises, thinking they were spewing hysterics for better ratings.”

Mmmmm, is that some Shiro Sagisu soundtrack in there??

Technically the music isn’t actually from Mass Effect, it’s a track called “Heart of Courage” from a company called Two Steps from Hell that makes music specifically to be licensed out for use in trailers or ads. Definitely Mass Effect voiceovers though.

Simple fix; variable playtime maximums for returns depending on the publisher’s expected playthrough length. Might even help keep the publishers honest about it all (looking at you The Order 1886).

Ohhhhhhh DS9 on Kotaku, thank you.

The Falcon doesn't really belong in the comparison. It's not a military vessel, it's the privately owned and maintained property of Han Solo (or potentially someone else now). I'd compare it to a privately owned DC3 or Cessna bush plane.

Good pillar support on the car at least, as long as its occupants were wearing seat belts, they should be ok.

I never watched the cartoons, so I don't care about ruining them, but coming from someone who's only seen the first of the movies (it was enough), my problem is that they're simply spectacle with no substance and terrible writing. I don't understand why so many people have learned to expect movies with lots of action…

I created some paper models of German experimental planes, and found out my website isn't available in Germany because I chose to include the historically correct roundels on the patterns. It's interesting how they choose to sensor things there.

The PS3 was my first console, and I only got it in December 2012. The Uncharted trilogy and Shadow of the Colossus were the primary reasons too. Perhaps I'm too pragmatic, but I've never HAD to buy a console or HAD to be caught up with the latest game. The only brand new game I bought was Mass Effect 3, and…

Bridges are cool, sure, but I REALLY want to explore engineering, especially on the Galaxy class.
