Admiral Vostok Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Windu, after Homeworld 2, anyone making a space-based RTS would be foolish to make it 2-D. Actually Frozticles is probably right about the technology. I can see that with 3-D RTS engines nowadays, like Battle for Middle Earth for example, could probably be extended to encompass space combat in proper 3-D. But I'm still of the opinion that trying to include both ground combat and space combat will force the makers to divide their attention, making each part not as good as it could have been. I'd also like a space RTS, but it should be a separate game from the ground RTS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FroZticles Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Since Lucasarts is all about breaking records in the gaming community these days, I'm sure they will try a space and ground RTS as one game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I would rather have somebody else try it, flops it and then we can build off their mistakes. Nothing that has to do with the subject but I'll be going on vacay for month and probably won't be able to post. Goodbye y'all and see y'all in a month!

joesdomain Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Well, If there is a new Star Wars RTS game coming out in 2005, I am in a world of hurt. LOL! My video card is damaged and causes my PC games to crash. I guess I better save a bunch of money to buy a new computer with a better operating system than a Pentium III 667, Windows 98SE, and a 8 MB video card. Let's hope the game includes all 6 films!

Admiral Vostok Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 If that's the same computer you had ages ago when you were hoping the SWGB sequel would be 2D so you could run it... then it's certainly time for an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joesdomain Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 Yeah, My computer's internet browser is messed up half the time and my video card can not play even a Star Wars video game like Galactic Battlegrounds anymore because it crashes. I pray that the RTS game comes out later than soon. I would rather play PLaystation 2 video games now. I believe they said at Comic-con this year that the Star Wars Episode III video game will be out for X-box and PS2 only for May, 2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Vostok Posted July 26, 2004 Share Posted July 26, 2004 I'm sure there will be more than just one Episode III game. Look at all the games from Episode I and Episode II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzlebox Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Whats your affiliation with lucas arts DarthmaulUK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Chief pain in the a**** ;-) Basically I have alot of contact with LA because I am part of one of the largest fan networks. Lucasarts see the LFN network as an official fan site and they give us, when they can - exclusives, prizes and other stuff. Because I have known my contact there for a while now, we are like international friends and they ALWAYS expect me to bring up the next Star Wars RTS at the end of our emails/chats :-) DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Puzzlebox Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 What are the chances I could get one of their ears? I've long thought the only way I could get them to make a damn game right is if I bank rolled it, well not really; they wouldn't be doing it then which reminds me, how much did gb cost to get done, anybody know-ballpark? Facts are facts, my I.Q. is 205 which makes me by default smarter than most of the people at LA and anywhere else for that matter and unlike most of them yet again, I can actually write. I'd offer my time but I don't mix well with routines, either way my ideas for the next game are solid and they should really pay attention. ||||||||| :compcry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puzzlebox Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Yeah I know, you might have a dollar by now Seriously though I don't want them to screw it up so maybe I'll get someone to put it up like vostock has done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saberhagen Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 I think they should put Chris Crawford in charge of it. Even if it turns out to be rubbish, at least he'll have some more funny stories to put in the next edition of "On Game Design". I'd really love to hear what he would say if he ever read Vostok's or Windu's design documents... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMasterEd Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 So they are, in fact, planning to make a brandy new RTS? Have our prays been finally answered? *begins to cry* Wonder which game engine they'll be using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 By the looks of things, they are creating their own engine. Who knows. DMUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMasterEd Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 Their, own engine? *looks at Force Commander* Oh dear...well, I hope they do a good job. Using the AoE engine wasn't too much of a bad idea, seeing how well it was doing then, but it was basically the wrong time when GB released since most RTS' started going 3D.

FroZticles Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 They annouced the first Episode 3 game but its definately not an RTS. 1st person shooter or RPG by the sounds of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nairb Notneb Posted August 10, 2004 Share Posted August 10, 2004 I love SWGBG and I can't wait for this new one, what ever it will be. I love RTS and I love Star Wars (been playing SW for the past 20+ years and still going). I just got into moding SWGBG and its great. I can't wait to get something new and good (hopefully). I still break out my old Rebellion game once and awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joesdomain Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Maybe they are working on Rebellion 2! I would hope it is something that includes both ground and space battles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
