Guest Paladin Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 Do u think this will be the best RTS for 2001-2002? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth Maul Jr. Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 Most definitely, Warcraft 3 looks stupid..they cant even make up their minds about what the game is gonna look like and they still sticking to that old top down perspective which limits the amount of detail you see on the units. This game is gonna be the bomb...i still play Age of Kings expansion pak and this game looks 10 times better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paladin Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 I never was dissapointed with an RTS game until i played Warcraft and Starcraft! Star warz battlegroundz all the way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 No, joke, and i'm not exxagerationg, this game could be one of the best RTS's of all time. It combines several different ones and they made it look all nice, molding it into a truly great game, then adding in Star Wars. Only time will tell i quess, but it sure looks awesome. It certainly will be the rts of the year, and if not it will most definately be one of my favorites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth Maul Jr. Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 I think you're right. They did the right thing by going ahead and adding naval units despite a lack in interest in them.. That way they totally have all the bases covered and represent every aspect of war..land, air and sea. I dont want to jinx but they have all the elements needed and they are poised to make this the best RTS game you can possibly have on a 2D format...or 3D.

darthfergie Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 I thought this would be a poll, but oh well. On the RTS Subject...most likly yes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord JayVizIon Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 damn, warcraft III looks stupid? you should ask some of the game players from groups such as pc gamer that question and see how they respond. well, i'd think that this game has the potential to be rts of the year. i'm a pretty big star wars fan and such as some of you guys, i've been waiting for lucasarts to make an rts game indicative of their reputation and i'm a big rts fan in the first place. with many playable units, i think this game will be one of the best if not the best of all time....

Guest Admiral Odin Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 It has a very good chance. With SW in fron it will sell very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest crazy_dog Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 Either this, or Black and White, or maybe RA2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compa_Mighty Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 Star Wars Battlegrounds. Let me tell you why: Empire Earth doesn't look as good as SWGB. Age of Mythology has a high risk of having strange features, because the people at ES are going nuts (green snow?) And because 3D RTS is brand new, it may have some flaws at the beginning.

Paragon_Leon Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 in my mind, 3D RTS has a major flaw in viewpoint-simplicity. 2D games have a fixed viewpoint that NEVER interferes with the action. 3D games do have that. That's why i feel that a 2D game like GB will rule the coming years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tie Guy Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 What they should do is have a 2d game, but shap it from say....4 perspective. Yoiu could have a hotkey for each angle. So, if you needed a different view, you could simply and seamlessly switch. Maybe that is the step that is between 2d and 3d that seems to be missing. 2d is getting outdated and low-tech, but 3d is too hard and complicated. 2d-4, as i've dubbed it, could be a good way to manage it.

Guest xwing guy Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 Yeah you could have a top view like in GB, a ground level view, a closer top view, and a above ground view thats just a little off the ground at about half an AT-ATs height.

Mitth'raw'nuruodo Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 GB is giong to be the biggest, best RTS EVER! It is going to TOTALLY BOMB out the market. I can't wait!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rommel Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 It's going to sell well... but best RTS ever? Thats gonna be hard to achieve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tie Guy Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 Is it though? I don't think so. It is way ahead of all the others. It has 6 (not 3) unique and individual civs. It has all the gameplay of AOK TC and then alot more after that with the air units. It combines the best of everything, and it will be the best rts yet, if it remains as it is right now. That doesn't mean it will be better than AOM, or WC3, but i think it will be, and it will certainly be the best yet IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wedge Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 AoM is gonna be cool and probably the 1st runner up to GB, But GB is gonna be the best because AoE Fans Will Buy + Star Wars fans will buy = Double Sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord JayVizIon Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 hmm, it's hard to say b/c this is the first of the big rts games to come out this year. i wouldn't rule out AoM and WC 3 just b/c of the viewpoint. from everything i've heard, WC 3 is supposed to be sick (blizzard always produces the goods)! i've played myth II with a 3D perspective and i thought it played okay, although there were some minor flaws there. however, you'd really have to wait and see the other rts games to come out to really put a valid statement out there.

Guest jigga Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 I am looking forward to Warcraft 3. I think it looks promising. But that game wont be coming out for a while so right now Iam dreaming about Galactic battlegrounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rommel Posted August 25, 2001 Share Posted August 25, 2001 I hated Warcraft 2... so I don't think I'll like the sequel too much. What is the story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth Maul Jr. Posted August 26, 2001 Share Posted August 26, 2001 Warcraft 3 looks stupid...first it was goign to be a hero driven game...a hero and a band of units for intricate detailed combat and role-playing (kinda like Warlords: Battlecry) then they nixed all of that went back to top down, build peons, build thousands of units. So basically what they did is wuss out of goin in a new direction like WL: Battlecry and go back to an old format, which has been done better in 3d than what Blizzard is doing...the units for warcraft 3 look stupid, they're 3d but they look like 3d graphics from like 4 years ago...take a look at the Quake, Unreal and Max Payne engines and you'll see how 3d should look today..Age of Mythology doesnt seem all that interesting since most of mythology was hero and heroine driven instead of grand scale war driven. Plus the units look dumb and dont sound like they would belong in an army! This game is gonna light it up and as soon as it looks like it might get stale they're gonna release a cool expansion pak with new civs, units, technologies and stuff to get it all started again.

Lord JayVizIon Posted August 26, 2001 Share Posted August 26, 2001 ummm, no and no. that's pretty early judgement for two games that are not even close to being finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest millen Posted August 26, 2001 Share Posted August 26, 2001 GB may be good but there is no way that it will beat games like EE and AoM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
