Guest DarthMaulUK Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 Today, Lucasarts announced the date for the new Petroglyph developed Empire at War demo - Jan 18th. The demo will feature five tutorials that lay down the game mechanics for Empire at War, as well as one galactic conquest mode map to put what gamers have learned to test. A sample of recognizable units will be included in the demo, with the full roster being available next month in the retail version. Empire at war is due for release on Feb 16th (USA) and the rest of the world on Feb 17th The Lucasforums have also opened up a Demo issue forum, that will go live next Wednesday just incase some of you are having problems. Its also a place to leave feedback about the demo that will be useful for the dev team to read. DMUK
killerluk Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 nice to see they included a galactic map mode cant wait good news on friday the 13th
Sithman1138 Posted January 13, 2006 Posted January 13, 2006 ARGH!! You win DMUK. Can you answer my earlyer question about the newsletter? If you know.
Paelon_Veers Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 I hope you are able to play as the Empire in this demo...
shadowsfm Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 the pc gamer preview talks about the tutorial. ------------------------------------------------------------------- we move our alliance fleet through a sector and land a rebel patrol on the planet kashyyyk to destroy an imperial garrison. the fight was quick, hard, and for us, victorious. empire at war is just about battles. in the second tutorial, we learn how to build units and fleets. we then sent c-3po to steal technolagy from the empire. this undertaking was a success. in the third tutorial, we switched to thhe empires side. we built a fleet and attacked tatooine. we reach orbit with light carrack cruissers and scout ties, that is being pertected by a small rebel fleet and a space station. we had to try to survive long enough, until a torpedo cruiser came to help, and gave us the upper hand. then we land. before the attack begins, tie bombers damages the defenders. then the stormtrooper mop ups the rest. win! ------------------------------------------------------------------- sence the demo has the tut, yeah you can play as the imps
bigbigewok Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 THANKYOU GOD Cool we can play a bit of both sides keep us busy to the real version comes out
shadowsfm Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 well, the news letter didnt come out. im only saying, to see if anyone got one, and letting every one know they are not the only one who didnt get one.
edmendduke55555 Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Just 5 more days =D I hope my computer's graphics card can support it >_>
Jan Gaarni Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 I don't believe that review, and here's why: empire at war is just about battles. in the second tutorial, we learn how to build units and fleets. we then sent c-3po to steal technolagy from the empire. this undertaking was a success. Noone in there right minds would send such a jumpy droid to steal tech. Anyway, from joke to serious for a moment. Thanks for the info, shadowsfm. Can't wait for the demo now. Knowing when it comes out is worse I think than not knowing. Time goes so slow when you know when you can get it. And no, I've not recieved the LEC Newsletter either. They're running late.
shadowsfm Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 well, the mag ment the c-3po r2-d2 combo i guess besides, who would guess hes a spy, hell, he looks good in a tux
Fishflesh Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Great and thank can't wait afther playing BFME 2 beta im now ready for EAW!
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 I am sure that alot of sites will host the demo a few days after its release. I didnt want Lucasfiles to have the exclusive because the servers wouldnt have been able to handle that kind of downloading. DMUK
shadowsfm Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 now lets hope they dont dely the demo like they did the knews letter
Creasy Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Can't wait. One question though. Am I supposed to already got the Lucasarts Insider newsletter? Cause I didn't (its checked in the subscription page)... Well, I buy the game anyway but still looking forward to play the demo.
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 I think the newsletter must have been delayed, which might explain why they announced the release date for the demo on the official forum because they did say it would be announced on friday. DMUK
The Death Star Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Does the Demo Include The Death Star (Im obsessed, I know)
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 I doubt it. I guess it will be limited to lower end units DMUK
darth_vadar_13 Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 you can only play as the rebels if anyone didn't know tht nd u only hav acess to chewy nd han as heros. So its ok but it would hav been nicer if they put some more beta units in. Cant hav everythin tho' EDIT: also i found an amazin Demo countdown watch! Thought u guys mite like it as much as i did! http://www.gamespot.com/promos/2006...demo/index.html
Athanasios Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Empire at war is due for release on Feb 16th (USA) and the rest of the world on Feb 17th DMUK I thought the release date on Europe was 20th February...
killerluk Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 here is a question to anyone from la or petro Will there come a multiplayer demo also in time? and if so will it be before the release of the game?
Jason91 Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Finially the demo will be ours.... I can't wait till the game is realeased... I onl y have one question. Will the demo be realeased on gamespot the same day as its released or will i have to wait...
Jeff Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 Finially the demo will be ours.... I can't wait till the game is realeased... I onl y have one question. Will the demo be realeased on gamespot the same day as its released or will i have to wait... I think the only place hosting it is LucasFiles, though I could be wrong about the only place part. But get it from LucasFiles anyways
darth_vadar_13 Posted January 14, 2006 Posted January 14, 2006 i think its silly tht lucas arts r doin this. They know on wednesday the server isn't gona be able to withstand everyone downloadin the demo at the same time. They should at least be 5 sites hostin the demo.
