id software heading to a galaxy far, far away for next game?

[Buckshot]

Maybe. Numerous articles popping up today that id software has been summoned by Microsoft to work on a entry in the Star Wars "Mandalorian" universe exclusively for the Xbox.

While just a rumor backed by a (questionable) leaker, certainly possible I guess. Though it'd be more likely that its a side-project or perhaps their Frankfurt studio may be focusing on, but also possible it's their next big thing?

I'm sure if anyone could pull off a great Mandalorian game that it'd be id software. Though kinda shocked though if it is their next big thing. Would have suspected if Disney was gonna toss IP their way to work on it'd have been "Alien(s)". Personally, was kinda hoping for a new Quake (and still keeping my fingers crossed).

Saw this here, and all other articles seem to just echo what this one is saying (or vice versa):

That sounds amazing, Star Wars is such an underrated franchise. Hopefully we get to play as *insert Star Wars character that only 0.5% of non-virgins are aware of* for more than five minutes. I can't wait to spend $10 on a Doomguy skin for Baby Yoda. Maybe even some Marvel skins, who wouldn't want to see Mando with Hulk shorts on? I'd drop at least $5 for that. Already have some money saved up so I can get Cap America's shield as a charm on my gun. 

 

Damn, I haven't been this excited since they killed Joel in The Last of Us Remake Part II.

Ahhh, clearly you are referring to Mr. Salacious B Crumb.
You know.... the little rat thing that that was laying on Jaba the Hutt for a whopping 30 seconds of screen time in 1983 and snickering at anyone who approached him.
Oh Yes! There's an entire backstory and fanfic universe dedicated to this character.

Just in case you weren't up to speed, here's some reading material:

Don't you worry now. If history has taught us anything, we can expect to see Joel return Last Of US Episode 9 as a clone hellbent on galactic destruction and then vaporized into oblivion by a force-wielding Ellie.

I do not know if it counts as proper Star Wars media, but have you checked out Auralnauts' hilarious Trainspotting-esque comedic redub?

The guy in the meme is called "MovieBob" - an online movie reviewer. Bit of a twat, and not in an endearing way. It's all you really need to know.

No of course not it's just, have you  ever heard the tale of Moviebob the slob?

I'd prefer if id Software focused on their own IPs, specifically ones whose names begin with the letter Q

Edited December 24, 2023 by Individualised

[mrthejoshmon]

Yeah, nah.

 

I ain't interested in no Star Wars, unless it removes the lame ass space wizard shit like Republic Commando did and focuses on the actual war part of it all (for those not interested in Star Wars because of it's stupid space Jesus shit like me then I highly recommend Republic Commando) then we could be on to something.

 

Fuck it give me Quake Wars 2, now.

They are going to shorten his name to "ManGuy".

I really hope the fuck not. That seems like a major step backwards for Id Software.

The people who were involved in creating something you hold dear no longer work here; and if they are involved, you should probably be even more worried. Funny, I've heard that somewhere before...

There have been several good classic Star Wars games. Personally I enjoyed the X-Wing/TIE Fighter series (Lucas Arts/Totally Games), the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight series (Lucas Arts/Raven Software), and the KOTOR series (Bioware/Obsidian).
