Republic Commando 2?

[Sev_vode an]

Exactly becuase they have enough heat to cut and seal the wound at the same time...

plookoon notice i said vibroblade "blade" blades make people bleed but i wasnt thinking of the younger adiences

[Sev_vode an]

True but still blood should and will be kept at a minimum...

I’ve been reading this thread and what I’ve come to presume that you guys just want another mediocre FPS that’s based in a star wars galaxy that either revisits old characters or re-clones them into an empire era.

Why don’t you just let the first game speak for it self instead of risking a beloved franchise on a potential rubbish game, I’ve played so many games that the sequals ruin the original game for me.

[RC-1183]

no if it was done right a sequel would be great but like i said if it was done right

[Kalonus]

But that is a big if. Especially in today’s gaming market, it has to compete with every single FPS out there what would it bring to the field except that it’s a starwars game with a few unknown characters.

And before you say the RCs are incredibly popular I have to say to the majority of the gaming market they are relatively unknown.

[LordOfTheFish]

Besides, there only going to make it for the 360. All I have is a Wii.

[RC-1183]

well it would be a great squad action game online muliplayer campains perhaps armor customization, more EU content

[Kalonus]

So generally ripping off most of its ideas from other games, nowadays a game has to bring a gimmick to the market because so far it just sounds like your making a starwars version off Rainbow six.

[LordOfTheFish]

RC2 would need something no other game has, to prevent only SW fan-boys from purchasing it.

[RC-1183]

ya but im not a game designer and i was not all there earlier so i was throwing ideas out

[Kalonus]

It’s always hard to come up with ideas for games…Well sometimes games just don’t try but most of them that succeed do.

 

For instances, Halo 3 is in my opinion the best LAN capable multiplayer game on the market. Sure it has a strong online community but I’ve yet found a game for the 360 that allows for 8 player multiplayer on two consoles.

 

I think the RC2 should be a multiplayer game so make it a multiplayer game, the biases of the game is to work as a team so maybe have something like this scenario.

4 players online

Mission 2 (Insert generic star destroyer name)

The RC’s have split up inside the star destroyer to do separate things, place charges to destroy the ship, download its navi computer to see where it is going and where it has been, deactivate all security protocols and say sabotage the escape pods.

Player one reaches a corridor and he’s confronted with a sealed blast door he needs one of the other players to open the blast door for him through a computer terminal. So he’s progress is determined by how fast it takes the other player to reach a terminal to open it.

 

But that’s just a idea what do you think.

[trooper 57]

I like it.

[GeneralPloKoon]

Its nice, but a game without single-player can only go so far.

[RC-1183]

no i think what he means is be multiplayer in the sense he just said but still have a single player mode for those who ont have Live or internet

[Kalonus]

Maybe give you the option to play as all four characters instead of just one for the single player campaign but when you go online you play one of four roaming the mission levels.

[LordOfTheFish]

I think we would all like to see what it's like behind Fixer, Scorch, and Sev's helmets. But creating a game with that feature would make it wild, and all over the place.

[Kalonus]

I'd much rather see the old characters set to bed. Move onto a new group, I'd rather have a new game then a expansion.

It wouldn'y be much different to being Boss, except you wouldn't have the option of squad commands.

 

Every commando can do pretty much the same thing - and Boss can do everything that the others can, so I don't see the attraction of playing as the others.

[LordOfTheFish]

The attraction could be just being able to say you can play as them.

[Astor]

The attraction could be just being able to say you can play as them.

 

But there's no incentive to if one character can already do the same stuff -

 

"Hmm, do I play as carbon copy 1 or 2 for this mission?"

 

Unless each character offers something different, there's no point in allowing the player to play as them.

 

That's the probably the reason why you play as Boss in the first one - because the others would all be identical in terms of play.

[GeneralPloKoon]

Fixer hacks instantly! Scorh has more explosives, and Sev has lots of sniper DC-17 ammo with invisible camo!

Thats one thing that ARCs have over RCs, individualality.

[Kalonus]

They shouldn’t be different, but the appeal of playing the different people would be to experience a change in the level format. It would mean you could have 4 different versions of the same level. Though now that I think about it, it does sound like a tedious attempt at extended game play.

[Rinku]

It sounds fun, but if it were to be 4 different versions of the same level then you would have to make sure each character goes through a different part of the map, so that the map doesn't have the same layout just with different options.

 

Maybe have parts cross over, and there could be a cut-scene were one of them sees a bunch of dead bodies here (have a comment about sev being here or something) and a collapsed corridor from a blast there (scorch). This would be something that you did previously in the game as one of the other commandos.

 

I don't know it is a start
