New IGN FoC videos


Darth Ablett

Recommended Posts

There are a bunch of new videos up at IGN; not much is new but it's good to see anyway. There is a small accompanying article telling us stuff we already know, but probably worth reading anyway.

 

Any news is good news, right? (maybe with the exception of a playable all-gungan faction being released)

 

Article: http://pc.ign.com/articles/735/735573p1.html

 

Videos: http://media.pc.ign.com/media/827/827314/vids_1.html

 

EDIT: Camera looks a lot better, views of the Death Star I wreckage, and Skiprays - that's all in 1 movie! :cowdance

 

Also, possibly some story spoilers.

 

EDIT II: Breakdown of FoC units up at IGN! http://pc.ign.com/articles/735/735692p1.html

 

New pics also, including everyone's new favourite land unit - the Ewok Handler!

 

There is also an interview with Tyber Zann (yes, I'm being serious) at http://pc.ign.com/articles/735/735684p1.html

Good work Ablett. I'm not a big fan of IGN but I'm impressed with the videos they have produced.

 

Thanks! I personally don't mind IGN, I reckon some of them give good reviews, and they're good for consoles.

 

Anyway, Petro's site has been updated recently - not sure if this is common knowledge - with concept art of the Kedalbe-Class battleship, and Urai Fen.

Does anyone else think Urai looks a little silly? A bird with butcher-blades? :snear:

Looks good. Yeah the camera in battles does look alot better...doesn't seem to dissapear from the action

And it seems to pan and zoom much more smoothly.

He looks like a vicious version of Sam Eagle to me! I think he looks great. There aren't enough avian races in Star Wars.

It's not really his race that bugs me; I think that's pretty cool. It's his oversized blades that I think look a bit outrageous.

I dunno, just doesn't seem very Star Wars to me.

Excellent find there, Darth Ablett. Some very interesting in-game footage.

 

Thanks! Yeah, as I said in the first post IGN have updated their site with a breakdown of some of the Underworld (Zann Consortium, whatever) land units, including Vornskrs, the stealth transport and the Ewok Handler!

Check out the pictures as well.

 

They will do an article on the new space units as well, sometime soon. :)

Wow, the unit breakdown and the interview with Delphi are really cool. I was thinking that the number of new features in FoC made it worthy of being called a sequel rather than an expansion, based on the information released more than a month ago. Since then they've release even more surprising new info. They could have easilly called this a sequel and charged full price.

Urai is neither a bird or connected to any avian races. I will say he is from one of the few long lived races in the galaxy (that doesn't go insane). In addition, his race is connected to the force, but they can never be Jedi or Sith.

 

Torpid can go into the finer details as he wrote the back story for Urai.

Whoa, hold on a second. Urai is not avian, even though that Kevin dude (concept-art man) said he was a cross between an eagle and a turtle? Add to that the fact he looks more than a bit like an Australian children's football mascot: http://www.aflmascotmanor.com.au/images/profile/club_images/eagle.gif

 

Sounds like he has an interesting backstory though, which is good to hear. :)

Just background. When new characters are submitted to Lucas, they like to have an initial background created so that if someone else wants to use the character later they have a starting point. Urai mentions a few tidbits of his past in the story campaign, but in general it only comes up if it is important to the story at hand.
