Guest DarthMaulUK Posted January 14, 2004 Posted January 14, 2004 EA are tweaking the Generals engine for what *looks* like a half decent Lord Of The Rings RTS - only time will tell. DMUK
Admiral Vostok Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 That's the Battle for Middle Earth. We discussed it a little in the Official Engine thread. And it looks much better than half decent .
Darth Windu Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 A Generals 'Lord of the Rings' RTS you say? Sounds good. For xmas i got the 'War of the Ring'. Must say that it is one of the inferior RTS' i have played. Some of the game is good, but the view is zoomed-in too far, and with a pop cap of 100, and most units taking 2 or 3 pop-cap 'points', there is no chance for the epic battles seen in the films.
Guest DarthMaulUK Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 War of the ring is a joke. Basically Warcraft 3 but cheaper. What I have seen of EAs RTS doesnt look too bad, but its EA and they are renowned for making crappy games that sell in millions. Afterall, EA are the 'Borg' of the game publishing world. They took a great team like Westwood Studios and then decimated them into their collective and now Westwood are no more and we have the rather naff Generals and like ALL EA games, the original is poor until the add-on is released. Dug in the screenshots I have seen of the new RTS, theres actually very few ingame shots. *whys wonder* DMUK
Darth Windu Posted January 15, 2004 Posted January 15, 2004 Yeah, i was sad to see westwood go, always liked their games... Anyhow, where would i find some more info on this EA LotR RTS?
joesdomain Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 I haven't been here in a while. Is there any updates or news on the next Star Wars strategy game or SWGB 2? Just curious! I hope they announce it at E3 2004 in May. Then again I have watched Lucasarts.com for many months and they don't seem to be updating that much information each week.
lukeiamyourdad Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 Garry Gaber left LA some time ago and the hopes for a new SW RTS is going down...
JediMasterEd Posted February 27, 2004 Posted February 27, 2004 There is always a chance someone else will take his place and make something better...hopefully
joesdomain Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 With the official news of Mercenaries on PS2 and X-BOX for Fall 2004, Star Wars Battlefront on PC, PS2, and X-box for Fall 2004, Star Wars Republic Commando for PC and X-box in Fall 2004, Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed for PC in Fall 2004, Star Wars Episode III game for PS2 and X-box in May 2005, and the rumored Knights of the Old Republic 2: Sith Lords game for 2005 I doubt Lucasarts has any plans for any Star Wars RTS game period for 2004 or 2005.
AgentA Posted June 22, 2004 Posted June 22, 2004 Ive never heard of this happening?! is it true and when does it come out?
pbguy1211 Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 Isn't anyone going to post something about our games today??? FYI, next week I won't be able to play. Poker Tournament.
Puzzlebox Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 Originally posted by Admiral Vostok Okay, while I agree with most things there I don't think customisable civs will work. Here's why: 1. I'd prefer unique unit sets over a customisable civ any day. And I'm not sure how customisable civs would work at all with unique unit sets. 2. This is Star Wars. The civs are set. It makes no sense having Trade Federation with really good troops or Gungans with really good air. With customisable civs this will happen. Now while I agree for the most part with Gameplay > Realism I think it is also important to realise that letting realism slip a little for good gameplay does not mean creating gross unrealism for unnecessary gameplay. Why make customisable civs in a Star Wars game (where it doesn't make sense or fit well) when there are heaps of other games out there with customisable civs already (EE, Civilisation, etc...). It is a Star Wars RTS, not just an RTS that happens to have some Star Wars stuff in it. Yeah it's not the same as it is with EE or AOE 1 or 2, Star Wars is very defined, I can't stand most of that expanded universe crap let alone what some of these idiots who wouldn't even be able to get a licence would end up putting in. If they make the game right there will be little need for modding, but otherwise it should be friendly to editing.
joesdomain Posted August 30, 2004 Posted August 30, 2004 They need to make SWGB 2 similar to Star Wars Battlefront in content. Meaning keep to the films for vehicles, starships, locations, organizations, species, planets, and troops. I can think of just these planets from the movies that are seen or mentioned that they could use: Example- Planets Tatoonie, Hoth, Bespin, Endor, Dagobah, Courscant, Yavin 4, Alderran, Ord Mantell, Kessel, Sullust, Dantoonie, Naboo, Geonosis, Kamino, Kashyyyk, etc. There are other popular planets also: Corellia, Rodia, Mon Calamari
jesseg88 Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 I say SWGB2 should use a brand new 3D engine. It should have a scenario editor that is as powerful as the WarCraft 3 editor. (ie: it can not only edit maps but also the tech tree. Editing the tech tree was an awesome feature! You couldalso be able to import your own unit models. But don't use tilesets!) SWGB2 should have maybe 4 factions and the tech trees should be completely unique for each faction (ala WarCraft III). Perhaps the Rebel Alliance could be the sneaky, inventive one (ala the GLA from C&C Generals). The Empire could be the one with huge armies to crush the opposition (ala China from C&C Generals). I haven't thought of what the Republic and Confederacy should be like.
ronbrothers Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 At this point, I just hope there is going to be a SWGB2.
DK_Viceroy Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 There is gonna be a new SW RTS but we're not sure if it's gonna be SWGB 2.
FroZticles Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 I think there going to use alot of movie content but also SW cartoon content.
DK_Viceroy Posted November 24, 2004 Posted November 24, 2004 I wouldn't be suprised if they used nearly all the Cartoon content and a lot of Ep 3 Content.
