Not only are we seeing more and more announcement trailers for games that are years away (and may not even arrive on the console generations they're announced for (examples: Metroid Prime 4, Fable, SW Eclipse), but games that are being released are shipping less and less complete (the latest example: Halo Infinite, with its local splitscreen, 2-player co-op, and Forge still absent and not due until at least Q2 of next year). The gaming industry right now needs to take a serious step back to reevaluate itself, its priorities, and its business practices.

It could well of been a CGi movie trailer and play more like an interactive 'movie' with QTE's and dialogue choices determining how the 'next' CGi scene plays out or maybe we will get to fly space ships, have real time Light Sabre duels etc as the trailer indicated. but for gamers, it gives us no indication of what the game is or will ultimately be like to play.
Obviously, its being used more to recruit people to the Project - a flashy looking CGI trailer in a 'globally recognised' franchise. Its not as if there aren't other Star Wars games that will do 'real time Action' Combat with Light Sabres, blasters, space combat etc so maybe QD's 'style' will offer something different to Star Wars fans but seeing QD's name after a 'pretty' but ultimately pointless (for Gamers anyway) trailer. It could work well for a Narrative based game with 'light' action. I never liked Quantic Dream games at all and they are not that 'action' orientated - unless you get thrilled by QTE's to decide what 'action' your character should play out. Yes it looked 'great' and set the Era that this game takes place in, but other than that and the developer behind it, we know nothing. I struggle to be 'excited' or 'Hyped' by a CGi trailer that gives us 'nothing'. "See the galaxy through the eyes of an ensemble cast of multiple, charismatic playable characters, each with their own morality, personality, motivations, and impact upon each other and the story at large."

We're still none the wiser about whether it'll be coming to Xbox though - Xbox's Major Nelson did highlight it on Twitter when it was announced on Thursday, but Quantic Dream has only ever worked on games for PlayStation and PC in recent years, including the likes of Heavy Rain, Beyond: Two Souls and Detroit: Become Human. We've included more details at the bottom of this article. The official website for Eclipse has revealed a few more details about it, including that it's an "action-adventure, multiple-character branching narrative game" in which "you have the power to make choices with consequences" and "compose an original Star Wars story". There are currently 60+ job openings for Quantic Dream Paris and 9 in Montreal.
The biggest on the dev side is their internal QD engine, which wasn't built for an open-world title.
There are over 60 job openings for Quantic Dream Paris right now, seemingly all for work on Star Wars Eclipse. This is according to industry insider Tom Henderson, who took to Twitter on Friday to reveal what he knows about the title. Star Wars Eclipse was one of the biggest reveals at The Game Awards this past week, but according to early reports, the game could be 3-4 years away at a minimum - and it's supposedly struggling to hire staff as well.
