duder Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 I'm not sure that we will see anymore installments to the SWGB series. Perhaps we may be rewarded with a patch, but not another xp. The next film is three years away, and I doubt that they will base one on the extended universe. What d'ya think?
Crazy_dog no.3 Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 I don't think it will die as such people stop playing very soon. Yes, I agree there will probably not be any more add-ons, and it will die that way, but not as in people stop playing.
AU_Andy_Ewok Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 Once AoM is out there will be like 6 people playing this game after a few weeks.
DarthMuffin Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 Once AoM is out there will be like 6 people playing this game after a few weeks. Excuse my ignorance but what is AoM?
duder Posted June 6, 2002 Author Posted June 6, 2002 Age of Mythology. Check it out at; http://www.ensemblestudios.com
Kryllith Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 Oh I imagine I'll slack off of SWGB when AoM comes out (just like I slacked off of AoC when SWGB comes out), but I'll still play it. I'm too much of a Stars Wars nut not to. Kryllith
DarthMuffin Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 AoM looks really great! Does any1 know when it'll be avaible?
Paragon_Leon Posted June 6, 2002 Posted June 6, 2002 I doubt you've seen the death of GB. If anything, a new game in the series could be made with AOM's engine ! How about that ? Also, don't be too sure that AOM will be a success. Just look at what happened with Empire Earth and you'll know what i mean...
Treacherous Mercenary Posted June 7, 2002 Posted June 7, 2002 I had problems with that game, so I went to this game just to find another AOK clone.
Fishflesh Posted June 7, 2002 Posted June 7, 2002 Star wars gb is not death it just started to live what do you think of mario he is old and still far away from death!
MAD_Attila Posted June 9, 2002 Posted June 9, 2002 Community-wise, this game was dead the day it was released. More people play the original Age of Empires than this game. ........
Sithmaster_821 Posted June 9, 2002 Posted June 9, 2002 AOM comes out in October(ES keeps on pushing it back) Just because more people play the original AOE than this game doesnt mean its dead.
Ten-Forward Posted June 9, 2002 Posted June 9, 2002 The next Star Wars RTS...Will be based on the AOM Engine...bank on it..
J-5 Posted June 10, 2002 Posted June 10, 2002 What about Warcraft 3? I'm gonna be all over that when it comes out !!
Natopo Posted June 10, 2002 Posted June 10, 2002 By no means is GB dead. The reason people aren't buying CC right now is cause it's too expensive, when it lowers more people will buy it. Maybe we'll be lucky and get GB2:D
Fishflesh Posted June 10, 2002 Posted June 10, 2002 Originally posted by Ten-Forward The next Star Wars RTS...Will be based on the AOM Engine...bank on it.. I dont think so dude
Ten-Forward Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 The AOM engine is a real 3D world..if Lucasarts used the outdated AOK engines what makes you think the next logical step is???
Admiral Odin Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 GB, will be around for a while since it is the only really enjoyable SW RTS game. Until a squeal is made GB will live. It is a simple fact. Look at XWA. Still a fairly large community and look how old that game is. Personally I don't have CC yet since I need the money to pay for other things. remember me?
Treacherous Mercenary Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 GB is dead as it's almost exactly the same as AOK unless lucas arts get their act together and improve things to try and get players back like improving units and making them abit different, etc...
Slimmer Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 SWGB will die out for a couple reasons: 1. WC3 2. AOM and the most important factor is all the illiterate kids who can't read and play DM and Scenario Games in the RM ROOMs. This turns away so many players cause they can not a find a game. SO if you are one of these morons please use the right rooms if you want to see this game Grow in players. Lastly game will die out cause Zone will never support it as we have already seen.
Sithmaster_821 Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 The game is growing in players. The number of people on the zone has doubled since CC has come out and it keeps getting higher. But people who play games like senate and hero fest and fortress blood (and you know who you are) will kill off this game if they keep playing in the wrong room. Random Map means random map. Not one or two rnadom maps and everything else scenerios and death matches. You guys have your own rooms and they are empty. So wh ydo you use ours? Another thing. I hope they dont use the AoM engine for SWGB2. Im probably one of the biggest fans of AoM on these forums, but I hope Lucasarts uses the experience gained from this game to make their own RTS with their own engine. Most people were turned off by this game because it wasnt original and used another games engine.
simwiz2 Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 I can not think of anything more annoying than going into CC RM room on the zone and finding EVERY single game filled up - and not a single RM game to be seen. And then trying to grab a game that just opened up - but being a second too late - and seeing it become a senate game. There's nothing more infuriating about this game than that. I am a huge fan of this game and this problem makes me think twice about playing it on the zone - so i could easily imagine it turning people away who arent sure whether or not they like the game yet. The zone should enforce the rooms' type of game, that is the only way to fix the problem.
