RPS speaks to Bit Reactor's Greg Foertsch about how they're making their new Star Wars strategy game, and the challenge…

“We want to make a game and just have people say, ‘Man, that’s amazing game, and oh, it happens to be strategy.’ That’s the goal.”

That’s a dumb goal.

Genres (or the mechanics they indicate) define games, even among people with broad tastes.

Yeah BG3 is a great game because it’s not afraid to be a CRPG through and through. It’s not trying to be a MMO-lite nor an action game nor a shooter. It’s a 2023 AAA CRPG that’s very well done.

Is comparing a game to baldurs gate 3, the new ‘darksouls of X’ ?

Are we going to do this type of comparison to hype up every game that hasn’t been released yet?

It is of course marketing aimed at Star Wars fans who have never played a strategy game before and who may be reluctant to buy it because it is a strategy game.

It doesn’t bode well for the strategy aspect of the game. Or maybe it is just PR bs, who knows.
