Jmaster3265 Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 To everyone who had questions and concerns regarding the games scale. Here is a question answered by someone who works on this game. "In the E3 video, the scales look all wrong, and things were happening way to fast The EaW that was shown at E3 was spcificly designed for E3. Ships were bigger for viewers, and battles accelerated so the viewer could get a basic showing of everything in the game. If u have seen earlier screenshots, u can see that the scales are far better."
general ackbar Posted September 12, 2005 Posted September 12, 2005 awsome, thats the only thing i was really worried about. who answered this btw?

general ackbar Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 idk..... ive tend to not be very trustfull of most people (im a police officer)
Jmaster3265 Posted September 13, 2005 Author Posted September 13, 2005 a police officer? umm...how old are you.....
general ackbar Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 im 18 (community service officer soon) so im not like a FULL cop yet, going to school to be one though. but anyways! i hope you are right on the scale thing and not making it up. i doubt you are, you seem like a nice stormtrooper
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Something I picked up from an interview over at Gamespot GS = Gamespot JB = Joe Bostic GS: One thing we're wondering about is whether the units are rendered to scale in the game. For example, did you modify unit sizes so that certain units look larger or smaller on the battlefield than they should to make them more clearly visible, or did you go for a 1:1 scale? It seems like space battles aren't to scale, since the fighters looked considerably larger than their counterparts in the movies. JB: The sizes of units have been adjusted to lessen the extremes for visibility reasons. We are still adjusting sizes of some units, but they will be similar to that shown at E3. The game has almost every aspect controllable through text data files, so changing the scale is possible for the more adventurous technical players DMUK
Sithmaster_821 Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 I don't mind the scale issue. Ill go for clearly visible fighters over Star Wars correctness any day. Gameplay>Realism.
popcorn2008 Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Scale is one thing I dont like being missed up. I hope they make it better.
Garbageben Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Dude you can fix the scale to your own liking: "The game has almost every aspect controllable through text data files, so changing the scale is possible for the more adventurous technical players"
popcorn2008 Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 Yeah I guess it's time I dig up that old book on how to use XML.... lol no It looks okay, I just hope they tweak it a little better, which apparently they say they will. Eversince the day I zoomed in on some units from C&C Generals and noticed the men were bigger than the tanks I've been super picky on scale.
lukeiamyourdad Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 gameplay>realism *quoted for enphasis Seriously, does it really matter that much? As long as AT-ATs are big enough, I'm happy.
Jan Gaarni Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Hear hear. As long as they are big enough. But if the troops are half the AT-AT's size, it's pushing the treshold.
DK_Viceroy Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Don't forget Scale in Space, I do not want to see a Star Destroyer the size of a planet nor a Star Destroyer that's bigger than the Death Star.
popcorn2008 Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 Don't forget Scale in Space, I do not want to see a Star Destroyer the size of a planet nor a Star Destroyer that's bigger than the Death Star. Now this is quoted for emphasis.... I agree 100%
general ackbar Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 wooot good news. i like my things to scale honestly. more of a star wars feel when you dont have jumbo x wings pwning everything
Jmaster3265 Posted September 16, 2005 Author Posted September 16, 2005 *quoted for enphasis Seriously, does it really matter that much? As long as AT-ATs are big enough, I'm happy. Maybe it matters to him lukeiamyourdad....everyone has a right to their opinion...keep yours to yourself if you'll make a post like that...
lukeiamyourdad Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 Don't look for "anger" or "hate" where there is none. Tune down your anti-agressive posting paranoid radar.
Jmaster3265 Posted September 16, 2005 Author Posted September 16, 2005 huh? lol right....that made no sense i am not mad...and heh no need for a spam post..
lukeiamyourdad Posted September 16, 2005 Posted September 16, 2005 I'm sorry, you're the one who spammed and accused me of disrespecting another forum member. I'm entitled to defend myself against baseless accusations.
Jmaster3265 Posted September 16, 2005 Author Posted September 16, 2005 accused? I only said he has his right to his opinion and so do you...could you stop trying to make a arguement and continuing to spam this forum, i will no longer reply to this particular topic.
