Ten-Forward Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 Or is this a "when its done" answer to the question..??
Guest Boba Rhett Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 It's going to be released around Thanksgiving.
Ten-Forward Posted August 2, 2001 Author Posted August 2, 2001 All right!!AOK Players may have a sight advantage i believe...
Lord JayVizIon Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 hey ten, welcome...... AoK players may be used to the interface somewhat, but these are diff civs compared to those in AoK, so everyone is at an equal advantage.....
Paragon_Leon Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 welcome, Ten.. my guess is we're looking at a late november release date; Lucasarts are no fools. they'll want the game to sell before christmas.
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 Yes, but the day after thanksgiving is the busiest shopping day of the year, they'd surely want to capitolize on that.
Paragon_Leon Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 From what i've heard so far, it doesn't look like the release-date will slip. so we're set to go... go Lucasarts !
Ten-Forward Posted August 2, 2001 Author Posted August 2, 2001 Is there a price of the game out yet??..betcha its 49.99 US..
Paragon_Leon Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 i don't know how expensive games are in Holland compared to the US, but we retail games at about $55 your currency..
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 Hmm, that seems likely, because AOK was 50 bucks as well, US currency that is.
Darth_Rommel Posted August 2, 2001 Posted August 2, 2001 Extremly likely (actually where I live AoK still cost 'bout $60 )
Guest Telephius Posted August 3, 2001 Posted August 3, 2001 You developers are cruel!!!!!!!!!!!!! a month after Empire Earth is set to release even if it ships later it still is a short period for an RTS lifespan I must Choose a SWGB vs EE aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh
Paragon_Leon Posted August 3, 2001 Posted August 3, 2001 Telephius, welcome.. i don't see your dilemma, but i take it you simply want an RTS; not specifically EE or GB. GB will have an edge I'm sure. Watch these forums explode and you'll understand what i'm talking about. So if you need any advice on this: wait. Even after EE comes out. Just wait until GB is there and then find out you made the right decision.
Guest Telephius Posted August 3, 2001 Posted August 3, 2001 hmmm your right actually I wasmplanning on getting EE when it was released but then about sometie ago I heard about SWGB and just recently I read more info on it. EE has the 3d factor, plus the unit customization and some other nice features SWGB is SW and a apology for Force Commander(the only game that I bought I have ever given away) and it uses the tried and true AOE2 engine. I am leaning towards SWGB now since I like the concept and no matter which one I choose it appears that one of them may rival TA for the RTS that has kept me interest for the longest period, even Westwoods Emperor:battle for dune is growing boring with its multplayer problems, no editor and the limited land space to build on.
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 3, 2001 Posted August 3, 2001 Well, GB is said to have a very robust MP, that i don't think will let any of us down. It also has 6 campaigns to play. Add that to the terrain and scenario editor, and this game should last you a very long time.
Ten-Forward Posted August 3, 2001 Author Posted August 3, 2001 Its pretty much not an issue...ya know why...were gonna buy both games anyway...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 3, 2001 Posted August 3, 2001 That'll cost you, literally. Plus, how are you going to decide which one to play at any given time?
Guest Worf Posted August 4, 2001 Posted August 4, 2001 Luckily for me, im boycotting all Sierra games so I dont have to worry about making that choice. Besides, I prefer starwars to the real life setting of ee. Worf
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 4, 2001 Posted August 4, 2001 Why are you boycotting all Sierra games? I know A-10 Tank Killer 2 was bad, but...........
darthfergie Posted August 4, 2001 Posted August 4, 2001 The Price to Pre-Order Sta Wars Battlegrounds acording to http://www.ebgames.com is $54.99 in the U.S.
Paragon_Leon Posted August 4, 2001 Posted August 4, 2001 Do they take orders from Europe and ship fast ? And does anyone know if there is a worldwide simultaneous release ? I'd go mad if we'd get it weeks later here and everyone here would be playing it already..
darthfergie Posted August 4, 2001 Posted August 4, 2001 It ships on 11/17/2001 acording to http://www.ebgames.com
Guest Master Yoda Posted August 4, 2001 Posted August 4, 2001 They dont have an exact shipping date on lucasarts.com yet so that may or may not be the true shipping date.
