DarthTenor Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 I mean come on I know it's using the AGe of Kings engine. AOK/AOC IS one of the best RTS games I have ever played. It really starts bashing the Alpha state of the game. Unless they have a Beta as well. I know that AOK is more than 2 years ols now, but with the state of the art AOK has SWGB will be one of my favorite games. Here's the link. http://www.gamespot.co.uk/stories/previews/0,2160,2095407,00.html Anyway just a little dissapointed with he preview. Love the new screen shots however. Cheers!

Guest Sherack Nhar Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 The guy's SO uninformed! He says there's a 20-units limit! And WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH 2D? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AoErat Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 Methinks that guy didn't like AoK. My question is: What is wrong with having a game that is very much like one of the best strategy games of all time? Is that bad? It seems to me like that would be a *good* point. *sigh* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clefo Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 Dude whats wrong with using the AOK engine? Someone please tell me that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paladin Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 Yeah, look how sucessful Age of Empires 2 did with a 2D engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Rommel Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 Maybe his beta version allowed only 20 units... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth_Venage Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 that would be one sorry beta version!!! and the only 3d rst game i like is homeworld, which doesn't fit this type of RTS, so going with a well established engine and using it to their advantage is good for LucasArts. Bout time a good SW RTS came out:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AoErat Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 I think he meant to say "200", not "20". Quote from article: Also making an unwelcome return is the 20-unit limit, an artificial barrier that is unnecessary for most modern gaming machines. Does this guy not realize that not everyone has a "modern gaming machine"? Some people still have 300 mhz and below - and they want to play the game just as much as anyone. This guy is blaming Lucasarts for making the game accessable to everyone. I'm thinking about writing him a scalding email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sherack Nhar Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 Well, if he REALLY meant 200, it's one BIG error. Didn't he revise his text before uploading it?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJackal_jk2 Posted September 18, 2001 Share Posted September 18, 2001 huh... I guess he fixed it. i didn't see the # 20 in the preview (okay I went threw it quickly). I only saw the mention of 200 units limit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
