Joetheeskimo Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Possibly. A survery was sent out by LF recently asking what people would like to see in a sequel to Republic Commando. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirLancelot Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Karen Traviss has a second Republic Commando novel coming out in early 2006, called Triple Zero. I'm hopeful this will give us a sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted November 17, 2005 Share Posted November 17, 2005 Actually, LucasArts is staying too quite these days. I think they're gearing up for game surprises. Next year, I think, they should announce KotOR 3, RC 2 and some new SW games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hopeful this will give us a sequel. I e-mailed her a while ago and she said her new book is in no way associated with a sequel to RC. She's just creating it for fun, not because she wants to tie it into a sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirLancelot Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I see. Well, hopefully we can get a sequel in the next year. the Clone Wars has so much content to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 I see. Well, hopefully we can get a sequel in the next year. the Clone Wars has so much content to work with. Well, when Republic Commando ends, the Clone Wars are just a few hours away from ending too. A sequel would have to be based on new material, probably with Delta Squad adapting to the transition from Republic to Empire, coping with the loss of Sev, and... you guessed it... hunting Jedi. Of course, there's plenty of potential with a storyline such as that, it's just that a sequel wouldn't be based on the Clone Wars like the first one.

Joetheeskimo Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Why not? It takes place days after Episode 2, not days before Episode 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Why not? It takes place days after Episode 2, not days before Episode 3. The game ends with the Republic fleet arriving at Kashyyyk, which takes place DURING Episode 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 Then again, they could easily retread the same or similar material in a sequel if they wanted to. Many "sequels" (both movies and games) have done that. A recent example is Doom3. Or Battlefront II... But so soon after this one? Doesn't seem too likely as there's been no accouncement thus far. If anything I'd love to see a Multiplayer focused expansion (even if they were to call it "Republic Commando 2" purely to increase sales). But we know nothing, so it's all wishful thinking and speculation... It's notable that RC marked the completion of the last game started under former LucasArts President Simon Jeffrey (who resigned to spend more time with his family)... the other games all having been released or cancelled. Perhaps the new management doesn't want to throw any more money at it, seeing it as a dead end? Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joetheeskimo Posted November 18, 2005 Share Posted November 18, 2005 The game ends with the Republic fleet arriving at Kashyyyk, which takes place DURING Episode 3. Aaah.. Well that sucks. I don't really want to play a game in which you sneak up from behind Jedi and murder them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny C Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I'd love to see a RP sequel, i thought the first one was highly underrated and possibly one of the most fun FPS' of the year. The game felt like a starwars version of Halo 2 but with an awesomely simply and easy to use squad control system. What i reckon would be an awesome idea for the sequel would be, the squad, because of their bond with each other and their individuality from the rest of the clones, reject orders to leave sev and they go back for him, and the first few levels could be saving private sev, and while they've rejected orders and gone to save sev, order 66 is given, so the squad is out of contact when the order is given, and you're on the other side of the coin, and maybe get attacked by a jedi thinking ur gonna kill him, and your squad kills him in self defence, or you stun him and explain the situation then help him escape, the game could turn into like Rebel Commando or something, i personally think that would be sick. I prefer to keep the commando's on the side of good, because they were memorable and cool characters who would be an awesome asset to the light side. I reckon this idea would be the perfect template for an RP sequel, and with a couple of gameplay updates (new weapons/locations), it could have an awesome story to back up the game, could make a classic. I can see some seriously awesome scenarios coming out of this, like jedi rescue missions, fighting along side jedi, an SWIV style bit where you're pretending you've got a jedi captured, fooling the clones then all hell breaks loose, stuff like that. I reckon clone commandos versus clones would be sick, maybe a bunch of jedi are surrounded and you have to hijack a drop ship and zip line down to their rescue, stuff like that would be the bomb i reckon.

Joetheeskimo Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Awesome! That's actually an extremely good idea for a sequel. *Applause* ...Although I highly doubt LA would go for something that cool - if they even release a sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny C Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 thanks joe. We can only hope lucasarts decide to take the chance at a sequel, the first was great imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joetheeskimo Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I'd also like some improvements to MP; MP is what keeps a game alive after everybody has finished the SP side. We should be able to play droids and geonosians along with clones and trandoshans. I don't see why they didn't add those two factions in the first place...

Manny C Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 yeah and scenario maps like objectives and stuff, so perfect for a commando oriented game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Well you could always make some addon maps, but I take it the tools are pretty limited as far as creating brand new content is concerned... am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Eyes Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 Maybe The Commandos could be launched off To A planet weve never heard of only to find out its Taris (KOTOR) And fight off Crazed Savages and Rakghouls? (hey, this tie-in might be cool) And They have to find a way to communicate with their Commanders to get off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny C Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 regardless of the fact that Taris was totally flattened, i dont think that's a great idea. It wouldn't make any sense. Better to keep the commandos close to film settings, regurgitating settings from other games would suck a bit. I reckon they should expand the gameplay a bit tho, atm its pretty much a balls to wall action game, but i reckon non linear playing like being able to sneak past, ambush, or any number of other things would be a cool implementation to the game. however, i do NOT think that they should throw in half assed "steath segments" like so many stupid games do to seem diverse and end up just remaining linear and crap. The player should have a choice of how to approach a situation. I think expanding the gameplay would make squad control more interesting too because you could make different characters better at different things, making for far more interesting gameplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavkov Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 i think they should move on to Imperial Commando.. and the first missions you could fight some rests of the CIS .. then hunt jedi and rebels.. would be nice! i would love a sequel!

MachineCult Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 How about, Rogue Commando, fighting with the Rebels and Bothan Spies... They might be able to fit another game before the end of the Clone Wars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
