lukeiamyourdad Posted January 20, 2005 Posted January 20, 2005 Meh it deserves it's own thread. http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/starwarsrts/preview_6116584.html?q=1&tag=gs_hp_flashtop_story
Lord Vader 89 Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 wowzers. I looked at the new screenshots from Gamespot.com and I have to say the graphics look very very good, much more better than the previously released screenshots at 1up.com. The space battles look like they are going to be awesome, especially Endor, and Hoth looks kickass as well. I can't wait for this game. The only concerns I have is if any of the heroes like Vader and Luke will be included and how building troops will be done, like if you have to collect resources or not, because believe or not, I like to collect resources and have at least some micromanagement. But still the game looks great, and it might be one of the best RTSs ever released. It might even be on par with AOE3. I'm going to buy it the day it comes out.
Rogue15 Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 i just looked at the screenshots of the game....now i have to use the bathroom...looks like a way-better Force Commander....just hope they do it justice this time. (i loved force commander, the storyline was awesome, but...the ai wasn't too great)
Jan Gaarni Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Keep it to one thread, guys. It'll make my life easier.
Revan Solo Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 The graphics are good, very good. Often they are bad in RTS when are very near to the troops, vehicles and ships.
stingerhs Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 i think its interesting to note that this game currently ranks #1 on gamespot's ranking system. definately not bad for a game that was officially announced 3 days ago. edit: erm, umm, i meant 2 days ago....
Pho3nix Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 Nice, I can't wait to get my hands on Empire at War
Nokill Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 wow this is finally something more then yust a stragety the space stuf looks realy nice and i like the more strategic stuf to i hope thay are true aboud this
FroZticles Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Ok now the graphics officially kick AOE3's ass. When zoomed in it looks more like a RPG then a RTS
Alegis Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Retreating adds something special; and I also like it they speak of "gathering resources and then a battle", which is common to some RTS and I'd like it otherwise a bit. Also the balance surprises me. In a game you always need to balance the power of a faction. In the movies rebel had less and now they have less power technology-wise. Game looks very promising
Sithmaster_821 Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Very cool indeed. It seems that multiplayer will be a sort of "Conquer the Galaxy" mode as well (and GS confirmed the simultaneous space/ground areas)
DK_Viceroy Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 yep looking forward to it since it'll kick ass despite what the fruitcake says:)

Sithmaster_821 Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 Sorry Froz, the pics are better than the magazine ones, but they aren't as good as AoE3. Doesn't matter cause niether can run on my computer.
FroZticles Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 Shame you cannot run them but maybe you will when the time comes to release. I think it has better visuals then AOE3 plus the old system is getting old and overused for AOE3's sake I hope they revamped the engine.
lukeiamyourdad Posted January 28, 2005 Author Posted January 28, 2005 Since the textures were not finished for EaW and those were alpha shots, we can't really say. AoE3 does have really nice lighting effects though as opposed to EaW that doesn't have any.
FroZticles Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 Even the alpha shots of E@W still look better the shots of AOE3 just have not done anything for me yet. I need to be wowed.

AoE3 does have really nice lighting effects though as opposed to EaW that doesn't have any. Actually if you look at the space screenshots, you can see the ships have shadows, especially the Star Destroyers. Look at the command tower casting a shadow over the rest of the ship.
lukeiamyourdad Posted January 29, 2005 Author Posted January 29, 2005 My mistake But I still think AoE3's lighting effects are nicer.
FroZticles Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 AOE3 the game to go down as having the best lighting effects ever!!!!!!
lukeiamyourdad Posted January 29, 2005 Author Posted January 29, 2005 Don't pull a Windu and start bashing a game without a lot of info Don't do it PS:I know you haven't done it. Just a reminder of what could happen.
