Revan Solo Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 It would probably not be released this year I think. (Remember Republic Commando!) I guess, that they will change it during this year into next year.
Jan Gaarni Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Well, then I will atleast have one game on my list for next year. I am sure I will be able to keep myself pre-occupied enough to not having to think too much on when it will be released.
SirPantsAlot Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 That's LucasArts we're talking of. They usually prefer to release a bad product than to delay, unlike Blizzard for example, which would rather delay their product for 3 years than to release anything but perfection. Republic commandos was an exception.
Jan Gaarni Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Without going off topic or anything (God forbid I should be the last one doing it ) but is RC out already or? Just sounded like it the way you are talking about it.

Nokill Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 martch next year i think this game will come and i hope thay will make it a lot better 2
Revan Solo Posted February 2, 2005 Author Posted February 2, 2005 You mean Empire at War? I think it comes later than march. I am tipping at summer.
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted February 2, 2005 Posted February 2, 2005 Empire At War is in for a Fall (Q4 - Quarter 4) release. Galactic battlegrounds was released in November - on time when it was announced in the February of that year. EaW is looking good at this early stage and I believe they have been working on this engine and Lucasarts for some time - almost 2 years on this. I interviewed SWGB Game Director - Garry Gaber who used to post on our forums and he mentioned that he was working on a 'related project' to SWGB and it wasn't an expansion. Now we have EaW. Sadly, Garry has left Lucasarts - looking after his baby and family (wish them all well) but with the history in mind, a Q4 release does look extremely likely DMUK
Revan Solo Posted February 3, 2005 Author Posted February 3, 2005 Okay we will see it. When you say that they are working on this two years, it could be so.
Heavyarms Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 engine's already built, and it looks like they have a good jump on it. Engine and graphics are what take up the most time in building a game (also the most space on your HD!)

Alegis Posted February 3, 2005 Posted February 3, 2005 Can't say much about it as I don't really have a basic view of their progress. I do believe however it will be released fall this year, they'll need to compete with AoE III
Revan Solo Posted February 3, 2005 Author Posted February 3, 2005 You cannot compare AOE III and Empire at War because they are different types of stories.
romano Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 On computerandvideogames.com the release date for 21 Oct 2005.
Admiral Vostok Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 I think they'll make this year okay, since the product is looking fairly polished already.
FroZticles Posted February 5, 2005 Posted February 5, 2005 Republic Commando was held back on purpose they set the release date way to close to Battlefront and noone wanted to buy it because it had not had enough publicity. I bet the game was finished last year on time just not put on selves to get the most profit by holding back till 2005. Same thing will happen with E@W i think since AOE3 is coming this fall also they will wait until the heat of that game has cooled then I'd exspect a early 2006 release.
lukeiamyourdad Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Unless AOE3 is delayed to spring 2k6... They might aim for a Christmas release.
sith4ever99 Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 I was just at my local EB yesturday and they said they had no definate release date for RC. As for EaW, I think they will have it out on time just because of how it looks now. I think the only major thing they have to change it is the ground combat graphics.
OverlordAngelus Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Republic Commando will be released around Episode 3 to tie in with it. Even more so because its the closest to an Episode 3 based game being released on PC. The official Ep3 game is on ps2 and xbox only. I suspect AOE3 is more likely to be delayed and I have no problem with that as I have no interest in it at all. I also think that EaW will be released around October 20th. Why? Thats when the Ep1 and 2 DVDs were released, so it makes sense to release this game at the same time, just like Battlefront was released with the OT DVDs.
lukeiamyourdad Posted February 7, 2005 Posted February 7, 2005 Except that EaW will have nothing to do with the PT(well outside the fact that it is based after Ep.3). Republic Commando is coming out March 1st. Look at the official site. March is still a bit far from Ep.3
OverlordAngelus Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 I see them marketing the game as the continuation of Ep3. "You saw the creation of the Empire, now witness its rise to power!" or something along those lines.
Revan Solo Posted February 8, 2005 Author Posted February 8, 2005 Is it not sure that RC will be released at March 9th?
Nokill Posted February 8, 2005 Posted February 8, 2005 not totally no but it seems thay are pretty far so im hoping for it won't be more then a month difrence
Revan Solo Posted February 8, 2005 Author Posted February 8, 2005 When you can't be sure with Republic Commando, you can't be sure that Empire at War is out this year. I bet that it is out first quarter next year. I guess, that it is more difficult to develope a RTS than a game like RC. And it takes more time.
