Guest DarthMaulUK Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Lucasarts today announced that the Star Wars RTS: Empire At War will be released in SPRING 2006. With a release date of October 2005 penciled it, this news must come as a disappointment to fans of the Star Wars Saga, expecting probably the best Star Wars RTS ever! Look out for more news as we get it DMUK
Darth Andrew Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 Um, wow. I wasn't even expecting a delay, but at least another 6 more months??? That's an entire year of waiting. *sigh* Oh well, it's for the better.
FroZticles Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 Said this from the start it would be pushed to a 2006 release. Lets just enjoy Episode 3 and count down the days till Empire at War.
starmark2k Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 Lets hope the longer we wait the better it will be. If it got pushed forward it would have been a faction of the game it could be.
Dagobahn Eagle Posted May 19, 2005 Posted May 19, 2005 Good news. I hate it when people rush games. Take your time, I say:)!
romano Posted May 21, 2005 Posted May 21, 2005 Lucasarts rush a game? Thats unheard of! *cough* Kotor2 *cough*

darthfergie Posted July 14, 2005 Posted July 14, 2005 Well, I'm glad they arn't trying a rush job like GB. Makes me happy really. (eh, two months late, I'll forgive myself. lol)
Rogue15 Posted July 23, 2005 Posted July 23, 2005 good. hopefully my compy will be upgraded by then. XD
Mex Posted July 30, 2005 Posted July 30, 2005 Although it's sad to hear about it slipping, it'll be for the best. And hopefully I'll have a new graphics card by then.
Alegis Posted August 4, 2005 Posted August 4, 2005 Although it's sad to hear about it slipping, it'll be for the best. Sums it up quite well. Do hope this delay will be sufficient
The Saint Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 On the brightside they expect a Demo to be released November/December. 2-3 months away now. This info is coming from someone who went to the German gaming convention where they are showing off a demo of EaW. But yes, it went from October to Februrary..frankly I hope LucasArts has learned its lesson from KotoR2..and whoever's idea it was to ship the game undone was fired so that they never make that mistake again. I can only see bright things instore for EaW with six extra months of polishing.
Garbageben Posted August 23, 2005 Posted August 23, 2005 Well I say more power to them because it will mean (hopefully) that they may either add more units, polish the game a ton, or both. Also I'll have the demo to tide me over for a few months.
jokemaster Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 good. hopefully my compy will be upgraded by then. XD And it'll need another upgrade by then also Like I always say when I hear about a game being delayed: Take your time, build the game, there's no rush, fix all the bugs, don't slap things on randomly and ship it out, polish it.
general ackbar Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 i have no problem with it being pushed back as long as its better. i just hope it doesnt pull a HL2 or a STALKER in terms of delays.
jokemaster Posted August 24, 2005 Posted August 24, 2005 HL2 was delayed one year. The thing was, when Valve announced the release date they were so confident that everyone was more disappointed. I mean from it being announced at e3 2k3 to it's release in 2004, it was about a year and a half.
