Should there be a sequel or another EAW, FOC expansion?

[ImpElite]

I think so, the end of the campaign certainly hints to one.

[mrsparkle]

Yes, because we still need Lando Calrissian, Leia, that general from ROTJ (I had him as an action figure but can't remember his name) and I'm sure there's a few imperial characters that can be added.

[Darth_Extas]

I would say yes, I think it will go prequel however... In order to stay with the areas they keep hitting, it will be prequel. Although either way, another one is need to further enhance the gameplay and characters.

[wedge2211]

I think there's a lot of room for expansion in the Empire at War universe, especially with the turn towards more story-driven elements rather than "sandbox" elements that we saw in Forces of Corruption. Given the ending cinematic of FoC, though, I doubt it will "go prequel..." and that would be less dramatically interesting, anyways.

[PoiuyWired]

Nefinitely need more expansion

 

I don't know, but the FoC story seems unfinished.

[Slocket]

A true "Rebellion 2" successor.

[lukeiamyourdad]

I think if a sequel was to be made, it should shift its focus mainly on SP and I'm not talking about just a cinematic campaign. Diplomacy a more management should be included to add an extra layer of depth. Switch to a pure Risk-style turn-based system. I never enjoyed the one we have now. Perhaps allow formations to have a bigger impact, but surely with a prequel about the Republic vs. the CIS, ground combat will be much better.

 

 

(My opinions, not facts, my opinions.)

[wedge2211]

I think there's absolutely nothing wrong with a real-time system (and I'd have more fun that way, speaking personally)...but if any strategic depth is added, the galactic timescale would have to be stretched out a bit. If there's more to keep track of, there's got to be more time to react. That would be just as effective as implementing a dated turn-based engine.

[mrsparkle]

Similar to Rome: Total War then. I don't think EAW will ever be like that though.

[Thrawn]

I agree, a sequel should have the added features of more diplomatic options and the like. More elements from Rebellion couldn't be bad, because of the excellent RTS components already present in the game that would be suitable for the tactical layer.

[Jeff]

I'd like to see something else made connecting to EaW or FoC but whether it's just another expansion or a whole new game I don't care.

[Ctrl Alt Del]

Mmmm turn-based system could be an option, really. I would just love to ambush an incoming enemy fleet. Also, if they're going to do another one, do it without as many bugs as possible.

 

And I hope they take their time doing this one; I wont buy expansions forever, mind you.

[HK-42]

yes but i think it should be a clone wars one

[DarthMuffin]

If there's to be another expansion, I would love for it to be set in the prequel era too. There's a lot of material there, and it's silly for them to create more and more non-movie stuff.

 

I haven't played FoC though; so I don't know about the ending.

[Titanius Anglesmith]

Absolutely yes, there should be another. Two specific ones that I'd like to see is one set in the Clone Wars era and another set in the Old Republic era (perhaps the Mandalorian War?)

[ImpElite]

I, personally would love to see a Yuuzhan Vong Expansion

[wedge2211]

Sorry, but the Clone Wars were the biggest letdown in cinematic history. They should have just been left to myth, to the references Ben Kenobi makes that made them seem much bigger than they turned out to be. Why? Because there was never any suspense to them at all. Not only did we all know what would happen thanks to the fact that they took place in the prequel era, but there is no room in them for any of the "what if" scenarios that made Empire at War fun. What would have happened if the Separatists had won? The same exact thing. Palpatine would have come to power as Emperor, since, after all, he was running both sides of the war and ended it whenever he felt like.

 

Aside from that, the prequel era really does not lend itself to the RTS genre. The intrigue (if you can call it that) of that period is more suited to RPG games. A prequel-era RTS would be like saying, "hey, let's have WarCraft be set in the French Revolution!" We all know what happens on a grand scale in the prequel era. What we don't know, where there is room for storytelling, are individual characters' stories.

[HK-42]

Yuuzhan Vong:)

[Cavkov]

YES! they should move forward to either Thrawn era or Yuzhan Vong era! that would be awesome!

[L0rdReV@n88]

my vote is for thrawn and vong era and a prequel era of the mandalorian wars that would be nice since kotor was so fun but left the mandalorian wars to just being spoken about

[Relenzo2]

Don't make us buy an expansion pack with much less than the original game (obviously) for the SAME PRICE!!

[Guest DarthMaulUK]

Unfortunately, there is nothing else planned for EaW. However, I have been hearing mutterings of a Civilisation based Star Wars game - but when and importantly IF this happens, is anyone's guess.

 

I for one, who love to see a hard core Star Wars RTS come out, along the lines of Rebellion/Supremacy, which was truely incredible!

 

DMUK

[Darth_Extas]

Agreed

[DarthMuffin]

I also support DMUK's idea

 

But that's never going to happen. Rebellion was way too hardcore for the average gamer, which resulted in rather poor reviews. And it's all about the average gamer. These are the people who buy the game in largest quantities, and thus are the target audience. I don't think that LucasArts has the talent and experience to muster a game that could cater to both average and hardcore players.

[CLONECOMMANDER501]

It looks like LucasArts has to make there three new games good ones or they will be out the door faster than a barbarian army on Roman territory.
