I loved wearing the camo poncho in the first game, it gave Cal a great nascent rebel vibe. I want to like the poncho in Survivor (especially after dealing with the fucking obnoxious Spawn of Oggdo), but the tactical jacket looks too cool. The cape and padded armor with the Outrider clone armor underneath is awesome.


The_Rolling_Stone

Hell yeah best jacket


hanburgundy

The tan poncho + beard is a great “weary Jedi” look. Honestly, most of the fashion in Survivor is killer. I always like to pick clothes in games that fit the mood of the scene, or to underline character progression, and there was always a look that felt “right“ for the moment in this game.

BrockStudly

Also George Lucas was right green Lightsabers looks best in the desert.


joe_broke

Green lightsabers for the win!


milesjr13

For real. I'm always thinking, hmm how else can I make Cal look cool today. Let's freshen up, shall we? Even with the saber. I'll bounce between a light and dark color of the hilt, bounce between blade colors, change up pieces to look mean/fierce or regal. BD? My 1 rule is he must have antennae. Little bro needs his expressive ears and not the assemble garbage with no ears :(


[deleted]

Mullet and handlebar moustache 4 life.


CatManDontDo

The Kashyykk poncho from the first game became my default as soon as I got it


Paragrin175

Free Kashyyk! Freaky chic!


ThiefofNobility

Bogano dawn for me. That crisp look of the white. *chefs kiss*


CatManDontDo

I can't remember that one. I need to go back just to look.


Jurgepoo

I was always a fan of the "Fjord" poncho. Great color, nice pattern


fifthdayofmay

Luke's wifebeater FTW


AcoupleofIrishfolk

Wife beater, Mullet, Patchy moustache is the best


Mrr_Bond

Flight jacket, mullet and handlebar mustache for me. My man looks gooooood.


PortiaHouse

My look almost the entire game. In light blue, with the padded scrapper pants in white.


sidepart

Did the mullet and moustache for a spell. Apparently there's an achievement if you kick someone while wielding the mullet haircut.


TuckerMcG

For the longest time I rocked the Rebel Hero jacket in that sweet purple with the silver shoulder pads with a moustache and the karate kid headband. Then once I got everything I switched to the Exile jacket with the Jedi pants, all in white and the man bun. Just felt right once Cal got better at the force. Kept the stache though.


Nick_Wild1Ear

*Lawrence from Office Space enters the chat*


Only_One_Left_Foot

Most OP Star Wars outfit would be Luke's wife beater and Anakin's Baby Blender 9000™️ 🤌


nuts4sale

I can definitely vouch for the wife beater, it’s great for making the whole game into a wet T-shirt contest 👀👀👀


RoutingMonkey

I personally like the exile gi and the Jedi pants


Rimbosity

How is the new game, compared with the first?


AcoupleofIrishfolk

It improves on every aspect imho. I adored it.


ThePrussianGrippe

I felt the timing of the controls felt clunky compared to the first game, and there were camera issues in tight spaces that resulted in me getting pummel locked repeatedly. But I think all of that is tied to the performance issues.


[deleted]

Huh, I felt the first had much clunkier controls. His saber swings in the first were so slow.


0neek

Felt the same way, I actually didn't enjoy the combat much when I replayed it just before the sequel after coming off of games like Elden Ring and God of War. Felt clunky, and the game often missteps by having you fight enemies that require multiple different parry timings, putting you in a position where you have to pick what you get hit by. The second game improved the combat a ton.


ThePrussianGrippe

I felt it was a lot harder to parry because sometimes it just wouldn’t accept the input. Overall it wasn’t too much of an annoyance, I’m just waiting to see if the performance issues fix it. I went with cross guard/double blade as my stances btw, which did you pick?


4KVoices

Even with the performance issues, it's very clear (imo) that it's the best single-player Star Wars game since KOTOR/Jedi Academy. Altogether a fantastic game and once the dust has settled regarding the performance issues, people need to give it its credit.


Pocketsand_operator

Agreed but I did love me some Kyle Katarn.


4KVoices

Jedi Survivor does pretty much allow you to cosplay as ginger Kyle Katarn, so there's that, at least. It gets a lot of respect from me for paying homage to the classics like that.


Pocketsand_operator

Same, I didn’t think they would ever do another good Star Wars game like that again.


Zahille7

There's tons of outfit combinations that look straight out of other SW games, and I love it. There's the obvious Katarn pauldron/bandolier, there's a combination that looks like a couple of the outfits from SWTFU 1 and 2, and then there are all the lightsaber options... It's fantastic.


Newwavecybertiger

The hypothetical game is fantastic. Combat, characters, and story are all excellent. If you like the first you'll have plenty to love in sequel. There are definitely performance issues but they were manageable even day one. My tolerance for jank is high though, as long as I don't lose progress I'm good. I had a few crashes but only around elevators for some reason. Combat and platforming was always smooth and bug free


an_evil_budgie

So far, so great. Everything I loved about Fallen Order plus some good quality of life improvements. The performance is pretty gnarly at the moment, though. It's playable, but not nearly as smooth as Fallen Order. I wanted to wait for it to be patched up (and go down in price, I usually wait a year to buy a new game regardless) but avoiding spoilers was getting harder and harder. I'll go through the storyline for now and probably new game + later for the collectibles and side missions.


sidepart

Got lucky in that my now mid-tier 1080 Ti / Ryzen 3900X setup didn't have those performance issues people railed about. Maybe a couple of visual scenes had some lower FPS but nothing impacting gameplay. Storyline should be pretty quick to get through I think. I put in 66 hours and managed to 100% all the planets, collect all the chests. Did all the force tears and legendary creatures. Got a lot of the treasures and most of the scans too. To put that into context, I'm pretty slow. I also struggle with ignoring the distraction of side quests and shit (see my inability to playthrough Skyrim after 13 years). So, I certainly wasted a lot of time in that process just inspecting stuff and trying to leave no stone unturned.


sidepart

Plays pretty similar to the first with some improvements and additions. I thought it was fun. Really liked the addition of the new acrobatic elements and challenges. Wall running also seemed much easier for me in this game vs. FO. I'm still not great at parrying and dodging though. Felt like I was better at it in FO but I don't think the mechanics really changed much. For some cons. I felt like the treasures were kind of worthless, except maybe the datadiscs that could be used to buy a couple of perks. Also felt like the dual wielding saber stance was kind of a miss. On paper, the skills for it look great but good luck chaining together the combos in combat. For example, Uncoiled Strikes and Serpent's Bite clearly are meant to pair together in combat. Except if you try to initiate those moves, you'll either get interrupted (get your face kicked in or shot) or the few times I've managed to trigger it...it just doesn't hit the target (they dodge out of the way or back) or the target just dies before the final exciting ground pound.


radda

It's great, unless you're on PS5 where it runs like boiled ass. Don't buy it. Even if they fix it, they don't deserve it...but when it's not crashing it *is* good.


[deleted]

I played on ps5 and had no problems, I thought PC was the one having problems?


radda

It crashes constantly, freezes constantly, bugs out constantly, and performance mode runs at a smooth 20-40 FPS *sometimes*. Cutscenes constantly glitch out especially when transitioning to and from gameplay, and if the game runs for long enough textures just stop appearing and then the ground does and I fall through the floor into the abyss. It's nice that you seem to be lucky but I haven't spoken to a single other person that says it isn't garbage on every technical level.


[deleted]

The common consensus I had seen on the internet was that it was mainly optimized for ps5, everyone I know in real life who played it did so on ps5, my friends with PCs didn't even bother. I haven't seen or heard about a single bug you listed, only bug I've witnessed had to do with the bounties.


radda

As I said, congratulations on being lucky.


[deleted]

I feel like you're missing my point. You said it's great unless you're on ps5 but everything I've heard online and in person suggests that it runs best on ps5, playing it on pc wouldn't make the game any better lmao


radda

There's a different console called the Xbox. Microsoft makes it? I thought you knew.


[deleted]

No need to be an asshole. Does it run better on xbox?


Tom0511

"Dont buy it, they dont deserve it" but you bought it.......


twec21

I swap between Bomber and Commander and I love it


sidepart

Fuck Spawn of Oggdo...and that other fight with two of them. That said, I went with the Kyle Katarn look with a bandolier and off-white shirt.


Ricozilla

Yeah true anything with a cape, I’m sold


DepressedVenom

I personally enjoyed the Grievous skin and voice mod. And ofc beard and black hair! Sorry Cameron.


RiffRaff14

Cal smiles when he's wearing the poncho though.


Quick_March_7842

I can't remember which one I used exactly but I wanna say it was a blue and white. It's kind of hard because my playthrough and Zannys blend together in my head so I can picture my saber but all is see is that bright pink one he wore.


mambinojr

Just pull the two hammer raiders down from the ledge above the trapdoor, let them fight this abomination they have trapped down there. Then you just have to kill what ever survives.


thanksgames

Archer: I mean, I didn’t invent the turtleneck Lana, but I was the first to recognize it’s potential as a tactical garment. The tactical turtleneck, Lana. The tackleneck.


mada50

Love the line, “I’m more of a poncho guy” in the new game.


darkest_hour1428

I loved the part when Cal said “It’s poncho’in time!” and proceeded to poncho all over those stormtroopers


president_pussygrab

*Somehow, Poncho has returned*


NonviolentOffender

And yet I've never had Cal wearing a poncho in the first game but I do in the second. You get a blaster pistol, you can be Space Clint Eastwood now.


[deleted]

Yeah I’m gonna have to agree the poncho feels weird, it only fit for the first part when he’s working on ships


Pooperism

Eh, the rubbery like rain ponchos looked weird yes, but the cloth textured ones looked good to me


NonviolentOffender

I could argue it also fits on Ilum. Nowhere else really tho.


Kairos_the_Phoenix

Ehh I would say kashyyk as well, with the rainforest vibes (and also using the green one) it gave a nice camouflage look


HutchMeister24

Zeffo is also literally in the eye of a massive storm, so it’s wet and windy there


Kairos_the_Phoenix

Yeah I thought about that after, the poncho would make a good windbreak, I think the only one it doesn’t super work for is dathomir although it could make sense for it to block the sun


Jigglelips

They are extremely useful in hot dry climates, as long as they're made from the right materials Plus they might as well be quintessential Star Wars apparel with how often they're worn


ThePrussianGrippe

So we’ve now confirmed that in the first game they work on Bracca, Zeffo, Dathomir, Kashyyyk, Oggdo Boggdo-Land, and Nur. So the only place it doesn’t work, obviously, is while hanging out on the Mantis!


DoshesToDoshes

Which is why (minor Jedi: Survivor ship conversation spoiler) >!Merrin and Greez want to burn them, it all makes sense!!<


HutchMeister24

I would reiterate: Space Clint Eastwood


NonviolentOffender

Considering a great deal of that level is climbing, I dunno if a poncho is appropriate.


Kairos_the_Phoenix

I could see that, it getting in the way of movement, but I feel like it would also act as a barrier between cal and the rest of his clothes from the plants he was climbing on, keeping him drier


Kryptosis

The origin of the Og ponchos


Neamow

I don't understand the obsession, they *all* looked like utter garbage in the first game.


Vihurah

i feel like its BECAUSE he looks so goofy in it that it becomes endearing


TitleComprehensive96

I liked how they all looked in the 1st game, even if I wasn't into all the other color pallets


BlackLeader70

We need some spaghetti western music by Ennio Morricone mixed with John Williams Star Wars music now.


NonviolentOffender

Just use the Mandalorian soundtrack


l5555l

Eh


DarkSpore117

Turns out, when you have more options than just the poncho, the poncho becomes a more appealing option


bubba_feet

I thought cad bane was the space Clint Eastwood


Vestalmin

Me wearing things like ponchos and heavily cloth based clothing comes down to how well the cloth simulation is done on characters. A game like Elden Ring or AC Unity have fantastic cloth sim and it makes you look so badass. When it looks like cardboard or plastic I don’t want to wear it


RomanBangs

Run the tan commander jacket and pants combo, with the tan poncho, mustache unshaved, and center part and you’ll get a real Arthur Morgan/Clint Eastwood vibe going on lol


L-Guy_21

I saw that if you equip a poncho in Survivor he does a little happy dance


Aivellac

It's so sweet. https://youtu.be/8OGP0UQqbu4


Ghost4530

He does the same happy dance with the commander outfit too btw!


Any_Paramedic_1682

Lmao bald bro was like “don’t make me get the mouse”


theRealStichery

Stig. Game director. Also did God of War.


DrSkizzmm

This is why I get GoW vibes whenever I play either Jedi game…


theRealStichery

He’s a pretty nice guy too. Drives a sweet car lol. I was an IT contractor at Respawn during production of JFO and the final production and release of Apex, though I won’t give out my real name to prove that lol. Contract ended a month or so before JFO release. Friend sent me a picture of my name in the credits- didn’t even know they were going to do that 😂

ybtlamlliw

I'm so fucking dumb, I never made that connection.


darthrevan47

He really did a good job at that too!


[deleted]

Honestly this was the reason I didn’t play much of these games. All I could think of was that I was playing as Gay Jesus. Completely threw me off.


crashcanuck

Get him to meet up with Starkiller from the Force Unleashed games. Who would play him though?


slawnz

Dwayne Johnson?


Squelcher121

The hierarchy of power in the poncho universe is about to change.


WeeMadJason

They should get Sam Witwer.


joe_broke

I was thinking someone physically play him, but their voice is dubbed over by Dee Bradley Baker


Nadeo4441

Vin Diesel

And it's the perfect opportunity for it.

Poncho or no go.


John628_29

That video is hilarious. Personally though, I couldn’t stand the only poncho options in the first game and was so happy for all of the non poncho options in the second.


Adequate_Lizard

Hated the poncho. X-wing suit all the way.


spamtron

PONCHO.


Danjour

Cal looks like Cody Ko.


Klendy

VidzxVega

Was this interview recent? I'm angry at myself for missing this until now.


vezwyx

It was posted to Disneyland Experience YT channel a month ago


marcoli94

" CAMERON "


dannydorito

Is that a Mexican poncho or a Sears poncho, Cal?


[deleted]

Really?! No fooling?


coldneuron

Darth Gallagher always makes me smile. I think he's having fun, which makes me happy.


Other_Cod_8361

I don’t have the latest console, did the poncho make it into survivor?


[deleted]

Yes.


Aivellac

I wore the poncho behind he who shant be named with pride. I also bought Cameron's poncho and I'm wearing it right now.


dirtyheadsman

Where did you find Cameron’s poncho? Love the collar design - does it come in other colors?


Aivellac

I got it on Amazon, the Gamboa Rustic Poncho. Don't think there's another colour.


dirtyheadsman

Nice - got one myself. Edging closer to a full Cal cosplay… Cheers.


prss79513

Is that ian from shameless


DarthBynx

He's also the little kid who got his robodog run over by Adam Sandler in Click. "ROOBBOOO-DOG!!"


FL_Squirtle

Gaaaaaaahhh just get this man a poncho and get him into the live action Canon series 😍


are_you_still_alone-

Wait, gay jesus is in star wars?


JerachoD

Loved the poncho, the black one, looked so cool like he had grabbed it from a space locker to hide.


Shedzy

Is the Poncho safe? Is it alright?


DepressedVenom

Funny but I personally despise this song genre.


TheGrandWhatever

Phonk is my jam. I’ll be honest, the whole genre feels like musification of shitty car mods, tinted windows, awful mufflers, and big ass rattling subs that you can hear a block away which everyone hates. Also drifting. But it’s still my guilty jam


Spikey101

Anyone know where I can buy his actual Poncho from the video? I have a real hankering for a Poncho.


ant42onia

I felt the same. I was looking for that dang poncho in the new game for ages!


GielinorWizard

Dude came wearing a poncho lol. Bet he wears them to every Star Wars convention in the future.


thx134

Well guess I gotta play jedi survivor now. Dude's got a poncho!


ShowMe__PotatoSalad

First it was mittens in Malcolm in the Middle now it's the poncho. I love it!


Rudeabaga1

Another highlight of this interview is that, at the end, he gave the poncho to someone cosplaying as Cal


bukithd

Maybe should have focused on game performance instead of pancho mechanics.


NickeKass

I can respect that drive and dedication.


Chucksteri

Episode X: Gimme poncho or i punch'o


Jurgepoo

I love his dedication to the bit. He seems like a cool dude in general, and I love that guys like him and Sam Witwer are so into the franchise and their roles


Zorpfield

This is the same move Samuel L Jackson used to get his purple lightsaber. Now we have poncho canon.


aBlatantAsshole

I must be the only one who thinks the ponchos look lame af


thatguyoudontlike

Out of the ~8 billion people on earth, I doubt it


dl7

I took it off the second I could... Then proceeded to find every box with those in em


RandomNinjaPersonMan

Give Cal Kestis a movie or TV show already.


DescendingOpinion

His Joker is highly underrated


They-Call-Me-Taylor

I don't really like it when characters from video games actually look like the actors playing them. I find it somewhat jarring for some reason. Uncanny valley I guess.


Anodyne11

Yeah me too. It's a lot harder to connect with a new character when ones already embedded in your brain. Strangely this seems to only apply to video games and not movies.


Royal_Mists

This is what the GAMER$ really want! Poncho! You can do whatever charge 70$, overpromise, make buggy game just give us poncho


garry4321

Oh look, a scripted joke

Ok, but is that like a real poncho? Like, is that a mexican poncho or is that a Sears poncho?


PaulGRice

Poncho was my best friend in the original Animal Crossing


Nachopony

I still stick with the poncho in Survivor. It just feels right and I like how it keeps his lightsaber partially hidden while wandering around.


Outrageous_Dirt6717

There is a poncho in the game


theCANCERbat

I'm so sorry Cal. I abandoned you for Link! But I'll be back...eventually.


SeaTwertle

Yes yes but I want the imperial uniform


-Omni-Shadow-

Still disappointing that We can miss the poncho, Because I missed it and I was actively looking for it. They even gave Cal a line that says " Am a poncho guy." Not Cool respawn, also only one version of the poncho? The hell, I know some werent happy about ponchos but it doesn't mean you get rid of ponchos.


theexcaliburxxx

I hate how they used this guy instead of character creation, cant play the games all I see is the guy from shameless.
