The Force Awakens is the movie with the biggest potential to move merchandising since Frozen. And that brings up a question. We know that movie licensed videogames have become increasingly rare due to their quality in the 2000's, and not that many movies have a videogame that follows the plot of the film.

We've had games based on the universe, like Telltale's TWD or Mad Max, but not games that basically are the movie but in videogame form. True, they have a horrendous reputation nowadays, but there are exceptions like GoldenEye 007, Spiderman 2 or Wolverine Origins. Star Wars has a lot of pull and it will be extremely popular when TFA comes out, so it would make sense to have a tie-in videogame. We all know that Battlefront III is the BIG Star Wars videogame of the year (and probably the whole gen), but that doesn't mean Disney couldn't make a tie-in game of TFA.

What do you think? Will Disney make a The Force Awakens: The Videogame, regardless of the final quality of the product, or will they just follow other Star Wars projects?

Also remember, they have erased most of the EU canon (shame on you, Disney), so they can pretty much do what they want with this.



You know it deserves the GOTY.

It already has a movie tie-in? Star Wars Battlefront has scenes from the film playable as MP arenas. The only other thing I can see them making is a Star Wars Lego game. If there was any other 'official' movie tie-in game, we would have heard about it by now, so no, other than Star Wars Battlefront, no.

Just Star Wars Battlefront



                                                                                     

Give it time, it'll be in Lego form.



Hmm, pie.

I imagine it would. Episode I had Racer and Jedi Power Battles and some other game.

Episode II had that Jango Fett bounty hunter game (Called... Bounty Hunter).

Episode III had Revenge of the Sith and people were buying it to see the story before the movie came out.

Games are bigger than ever, now. I'm sure Disney won't miss a chance to make money. The movie is only a month away, though. I guess Battlefront will do for now but people will want more.

It's already in development.

The game is called "It's a trap" and the goal is taking care of admiral Akbar who ended up in a home for rebel veterans after having a stroke.

You have to make him take his daily medication by hiding pills in the living fish he eats and prevent him from running away and scaring or boring people outside with his stories about attacking a unfinished death star.

It's gonna be awesome.

I think LJN is developing it.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

the first 3 harry potter games were excellent



This is Disney we're talking about. It's going to have a tie-in breakfast cereal.

It's mostly going to be a combo of Star Wars battlefront and some lego games. Though back when the prequel films were a thing they did do a movie tie in for the Revenge of the Sith but it really wasn't all that great compared to battlefront II at the time, most movie tie in games are crap anyway.
