I hope we'll get to see it. Ive been replaying the original two on my tablet on mobile and I fully believe those two games are the ones that turned me into a Star Wars fan.. the Revan & Malak story, and in the 2nd part Kreia and the grey jedi... amazing stuff, mysticism galore

Its one of the most interesting things in games to me, witnessing evolving player strategies, change in map knowledge as well as pushing/camping tactics, varying loadout usage, meeting different tiers of players and how much they buy into a meta, how tryhard people are playing in each bracket etc.

Aye, I think one of the most influential differences is also which of the three broad disciplines you define here has the most influence.

Each studio is different. Some are design driven, some art driven, some engineering driven. That often makes a HUGE difference in decision making.

And there will be pain. Shit rolls downhill, as they say, and when the project encounters big issues that means those high up have the sad job of figuring out how to spread it out and who can afford to take the hardest hit. If you're that one, you take it on the chin and you deal. This is the job.

You also need to keep in mind that projects are constantly in flux. Problems that were thought solved need re-solving. The team falls behind schedule and scope needs to change. You are constantly in a dance, within your tiny box, trying to figure out sub-optimal solutions that cause the least pain.
