“If we had a little bit more time, it would’ve been better” Respawn’s CEO on Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order has been a success for publisher Electronic Arts and developer Respawn Entertainment. The game sold well on all platforms, but that doesn’t mean the game is perfect. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order was plagued with issues on launch. Most of these problems have now been fixed, but some still exist within the game.

Vince Zampella, the CEO of Respawn Entertainment, has recently given an interview to USG saying that the company could have used a bit more time in order to better polish the title. He also said the game fitted that specific holiday time-frame, due to all the other Star Wars properties like the movie Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and the TV series The Mandalorian.

I cannot think of a game that came out recently and it was perfect on launch. Most companies, if not all, are pushing games through the door way too early. Usually it’s because of the publisher, but sometimes developers can also be responsible. I’ve seen much worse than the launch of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Still, it’s never alright, no matter the reason.

Thankfully gamers are becoming less tolerant to such things, as they should, since these are the people who keep gaming companies alive by purchasing their titles.

  1. It’s understandable from a commercial perspective for EA to have wanted the game out before the dumpster fire that was Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

    1. In my headcanon disney star wars is legend and extended universe is canon

      Only rogue one was decent but i still prefer Kyle Katarn being the one that stole the death star plans

      But i dont think JJ Abrams i the one to be blamed for the last movie being mediocre he was trying to build on the disaster that Reeean Johnson did and Kathleen “feminazi” Kennedy was interfering too much according to multiple sources.

      1. Pretty much. The woeful efforts of Iger, Kennedy, Abrams and Johnson are easily dismissed and, much like TRoS at the box office, will soon be forgotten. It’s not ‘The Sequel Trilogy’, it was The Disney Trilogy.

        1. I hope down the line now with Lucas being rumored to want to take back full control over the license he will scrap episode 7,8 and 9 completely and build something new and the Disney trilogy will be just a bad expensive fanfic that will be noncanon

          1. Do you place any stock in that rumour though? George is now nearly 76 years’ old, for starters.

      2. I don’t why people like Rogue one. That slapper was only slightly better than rey. The robot was the only likable character. Ending had some good action but the rest was not good (censored comment)

    1. What are you even doing here? All you do is b*tch about grammar and writing, against people who’s primary language is not English.

      Go start your own gaming site, and show everyone how it’s done, since you’re a f**kin’ pro.

      Or better yet, just crawl back to the other sites you pollute with your bile. I thought I ditched your stupidity when I dumped Destructoid. Oh well, block works at least. Not sure why you returned here in the first place though.

  2. “Thankfully gamers are becoming less tolerant to such things”
    Chris doesn’t know Fernando Diaz and Bizzysgs

  3. Evil whiny group influence is too strong to resist,so this is what we get from EA. We need a very strong Jedi to beat them..

  4. I mean, Jedi Fallen Order was 590 % better than ALL the games released in the last like 10 years. Every single game is buggy and unfinished, and i aint even over exaggerating.

    EVERY
    SINGLE
    ONE!

    I’m still trying to recover from the Warcraft 3 reforged drama as well. That 1 came soo out of nowhere. At least i could finish Fallen order. At least i could start it.. play it.. check the options.. see the game.. hear the music.. (should i go on?)

    1. “I mean, Jedi Fallen Order was 590 % better than ALL the games released in the last like 10 years. ”

      Nope not even in 2019

      1. What do u mean lol, we are plagued by unfinished games for years now. Its the standard or are you saying 2019 had great and completed games on launch ? 😛 (Also fallout came out in 2019 lol, just to remind you of 1)

        1. no what i am telling you that 2019 was awful but it still wanst the best game in 2019 let alone in the last 10 years. Right out of top of my head, resident evil 2, ace combat, sekiro,metro exodus,control, astral chain, devil may cry and since i liked nfs heat and terminator salvation, might as well add them in there.

  5. Let me turn on my BS-o-meter. Aaaand… broken.

    If you want to fix the game with updates, you can. Ask No Man’s Sky’s players.
    But you don’t want and nobody wants because your games are products with instant expire date unless they’re online based. So shove you self-pity into your Mercedes trunk.

  6. You can make a decent point without sounding racist dude. Geez, some of you get carried away so easily without thinking.

  7. Come on dude she’s playing the magical negro, the wise old teacher that helps the hero in time of need.
    It’s basically bargain bin Morgan Freeman.

    That’s not new or SJW sh*t (in fact i think it’s hillarious that SJWs ended up embracing and legitimazing a much mocked trope in name of “diversity”), if they put a babe in there she wouldn’t be able to play the role because all the time we would be thinking “so… do we nail her in this game?”.
