Guest DarthMaulUK Posted June 25, 2004 Share Posted June 25, 2004 Having had a laugh and a joke with my dear friend at lucasarts over the possiblity of Galactic Battlegrounds 2, I managed to quiz an unofficial giggle about a release that was way off. So, basically Lucasarts do have a new RTS up their sleeve. What it is called / based on, we can only guess...but it is coming DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DarthMaulUK Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Dont read between the lines! hehe. It certainly will be Star Wars and probably be episode iii related. However, I have managed to secure a first exclusive look once details are ready to be released. DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Windu Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 SSSSSWWWWWEEEEEEEEEETTTTT So when will Lucasarts be signing me up to their development team? Seriously though, i hope that if Lucasarts are really doing a SW RTS they do it properly this time 'round. A new engine, getting rid of clunking old concepts like Tech Levels and the like.

FroZticles Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 K got some questions So are they releasing details before 2005 or are they mentioning it in there 2005 line up for E3? Is it just based on the third movie or will it have all 6 of them? Will we be the first to know since we have stuck by the forums preying for a new RTS? Is it a sequel to SWGB or just a total new name? Some you prolly can't answer but it doesn't hurt to ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admiral Vostok Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 I just hope they release it after Episode III and not before. In my opinion Clone Campaigns suffered because it was released before Episode II so some things didn't fit right (like basing the Republic Worker on the Waitress in Dex's Diner).

FroZticles Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 If Space expansion does not make SWG a whole lot better I think they will lose 50% of there subscribers. People have high hopes for this expansion and if LA and SOE don't deliver its the end of SWG. I just thought of the whole Star Wars storyline turned into a song with the Giligans Island tune *shacks* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Lucasarts started on Clone Campaigns, they had alot of artwork from Episode II but didn't actually know what some of those characters did in the movie - like the Waitress. So far, I can't ask/answer any questions about the new game mainly because I don't know at this early stage...stress early. E3 for 2005 would be good indeed with a release when the movie is out, or just after. Either way, you will all know when I find out and look out for alot of info when I do! hehe DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nairb Notneb Posted June 26, 2004 Share Posted June 26, 2004 Well, I all I know that if there is not an EPIII version (add on) to SWGB I will be very upset. My son and I love this game. I've been "playing" SW for over 20+ years now and I'm still doing it. I don't ever want to stop. Keep 'em coming George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Windu Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Hi Nairb, we have discussed this before and really what we are looking at is instead of an Ep3 xpac for SWGB, i completely new game that includes advances in gameplay, graphics etc and has content from all 6 films.

saberhagen Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Isn't it ironic that as soon as we all stopped talking about SWGB2 and got back to talking about SWGB1, this happens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Isn't it ironic that as soon as we all stopped talking about SWGB2 and got back to talking about SWGB1, this happens?Indeed it is. It's almost too coincidental... okay I don't know what I'm insinuating there... When Lucasarts started on Clone Campaigns, they had alot of artwork from Episode II but didn't actually know what some of those characters did in the movie - like the Waitress.That was my point. If they try to get the game out before the movie, the same sort of thing will happen again. I've also noticed silly mistakes in other Episode II related material that came out before the movie. My favourite example of where the someone was given some unexplained image from the movie and made incorrect assumptions is in the Visual Dictionary. Although these books are filled with rediculous EU explanations of things, I collect all of them because it's quite interesting to see all the details on props and what have you. Anyway, in the Episode II Visual Dictionary there is an image of the SPHA-T from front on. From this angle, it isn't clear that the turbolaser is actually a turbolaser - it just looks like a dish on top of the vehicle. At any rate, the author made a bad assumption, obviously because Lucasfilm just gave him this picture and no accompanying explanation, and he labelled the turbolaser dish as being a "troop hatch" or something like that. These kinds of things can be found in many of the Episode II things, and it really annoyed me. If they had just waited to release the stuff after the movie they would have gotten things to be of much better quality. The same goes for Clone Campaigns, and will be the same for this new RTS. However, considering how long it takes games to be made and released, I'm not too worried as they'll never get it finished in time before Episode III if we're just learning it may exist now.

lukeiamyourdad Posted June 27, 2004 Share Posted June 27, 2004 Besides, what kind of new content from Ep3 can we expect? A few vehicles? Not very critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Windu Posted June 28, 2004 Share Posted June 28, 2004 I actually expect a great deal of new content from Ep3. Looking at the past 5 films, there has always been quite a few new characters, vehicles, ships etc, particually in Ep1 & 2. With the game, Vostok's problem (which i agree with) could be solved by Lucasarts and Lucasfilm working a little more closely, and i would prefer to see the game released on the day Ep3 opens in cinema's. Maybe they could offer a special deal, like 'see the premiere of Ep3 and get $10 off SWGB2' or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content wise I don't think it will add a lot of new stuff since by the time Ep3 starts, the Clone War is almost over. The only real battle we'll see will be in the beginning and I believe I've heard it was a space battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And excuse me but how the hell are podracers relevent to SWGB2? And the Slave ships? And all those speeders? Even more the Escort Frigates and all the large spaceships you've mentionned? Let me remind you that this is about SWGB2, not how many new stupid irrelevent to any RTS vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FroZticles Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Well large ships can easily have a home if they make SWGB2 planet wars and not just map wars. Maybe Windu wants to see a podracer mission? When you can name all those vehicles from each movie off the top of your head its time to get a life....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saberhagen Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 There's some I can't recognise even after he's named them. Who is Zam Wessel??? Maybe there's some hope of me regaining a normal life after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
