EA responded to complaints that Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order’s reveal didn’t contain any actual gameplay by opening its EA Play event with a 15-minute-long gameplay demo. It had everything you would expect in a Star Wars game: lightsaber fights, force powers, and an adorable droid, but still nothing was mind-blowing and the dialogue — like that high-ground quip — didn’t help. You can check out some Luke-warm (Respawn’s not the only one with bad Star Wars jokes) impressions here.
Thankfully, that’s not the only gameplay revealed this weekend. In an isolated spot across town from the E3 show floor, EA presented an entirely different view of Jedi: Fallen Order and I loved it. The only problem is that most people who tune into the live stream don’t have the option to travel all the way to Los Angeles, and there’s so much most fans don’t get to see happening live at EA Play’s physical location.
So, I made the trek for you. EA Play is essentially a carnival dedicated completely to video games. There is something to see everywhere you look with booths that teleport you into Apex Legends or recreate a full soccer field to celebrate FIFA. Add in stages showcasing your favorite personalities and a food truck court, and it really is a day at the fair for E3 goers. To sweeten the pot a little more, EA Play also lets you secure one reservation to a special game demo, so you don’t have to stand in line for absolutely everything. I took advantage of this to be one of the first in line for Jedi: Fallen Order.
If you couldn’t make it out to LA for the show, or just missed out on securing tickets for this limited demo, here is what you didn’t see on EA’s live stream.
