Com Raven Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 http://www.collectivestudios.com/wrath/html/index.htm Unfortunately, the latest screens are from late 2001, but they still look good, so the game should be a true looker thses days...
Jedi Apprentice Posted April 25, 2003 Author Posted April 25, 2003 I knew the merge would come.... I am also kind've hesitant about the new Full Throttle. Especially just going by the title. And Wrath, while an interesting game(seems to be), it doesn't seem to a be a prototype LA game. I guess we'll just have to watch these to find out though.
Com Raven Posted April 25, 2003 Posted April 25, 2003 That is cause it wasn't intended to be a LA game, but was picked up later on
Darth Simpson Posted May 3, 2003 Posted May 3, 2003 SAN RAFAEL, Calif. - May 2, 2003 - Following its rich tradition of intelligently crafted gameplay and wry humor, LucasArts announces Armed & Dangerous, a blast-happy action game about a smack-talking group of gun-toting rebels, a ridiculously impossible quest, and weapons that cause really, really big explosions. The game is being developed in conjunction with Planet Moon Studios and is expected to release winter 2003 for the Xbox video game system from Microsoft and PC. Based on a true story, players take on the role of Roman, a cockney criminal mastermind and leader of a gang of accidental heroes known as the Lionhearts. Armed to the hilt with an arsenal of outrageously powerful firearms, Roman and his crew of Robin Hood wannabes - Jonesy, Q1-11, and Rexus - set out to pull off the ultimate heist and are unwittingly drawn into a rebellion against a tyrant king. In the process the Lionhearts learn some treasures aren't worth stealing and some things are more valuable than gold. Full press release here. And the official site. So this is the Planet Moon game. Well, Giants was one of the best games I've ever played, so this one sure is interesting.
Com Raven Posted May 3, 2003 Posted May 3, 2003 Wow, I completely forgot about the Planet moon game What can I say, this is an instant hit with me... Giants' humour was great, and the characters for this one sure look impressive
Jedi Apprentice Posted May 3, 2003 Author Posted May 3, 2003 Looks like a very interesting game and if Com gave it praise it must be worth a look. From the screen it almost looks like a strategy game. Is it? I thought it said a trigger happy game which equals shooter to me. Maybe I am wrong again though........
Swat Posted May 3, 2003 Posted May 3, 2003 it has nice weapons including that rocket launcher with teeth! sure looks promising
Taos Posted May 3, 2003 Posted May 3, 2003 Has everyone seen the new Gold Guy animation for KOTOR yet? It's pretty good, but I think they could have done a better one.....one that gives the game more justice, but oh well. I must say that I'm very impressed with the line-up LEC will be bringing to E3 this year...the only one that I'm not too excited about would be FT2.......but I do want to check out the rest of them.

Giants, the last game from Planet Moon also was very trigger happy, but it had a few strategic elemnts in some of itslevels

StormHammer Posted May 3, 2003 Posted May 3, 2003 Thanks for the heads-up on A&D. It looks very intriguing, and if it's from the same stable as Giants, then I'll be watching with interest to see how it pans out. I hope it's as tongue-in-cheek as it sounds. The graphics are quite smart too.

How do you want to do the game more justice in a few second flas animation that is required to have the Gold Guy in it? I think the Knights one was one of the coolest so far...
Taos Posted May 4, 2003 Posted May 4, 2003 I agree with you there Com I did like it.....but I just thought they could do better. The one they did looks pretty generic IMHO......it could be applied to almost anything Star Wars. What I think that would have been cool to see would be something similar to the Secret Weapons over Normandy - how they pulled back and gave a wide shot.......ok well, I wanted to see a wide shot that showed three gold guys working together in the kotor three-party system. Have one with a blaster, one with a single blade and one with a double bladed saber - in action would seriously kick butt! Showing that right there would be more Kotor......again IMO.
Jedi Apprentice Posted May 4, 2003 Author Posted May 4, 2003 *watches Knights Gold Guy animation* Wow, I really liked it. I do think Leemu's idea would've totally rocked, but it was still pretty cool. I don't think it can beat the JA animation though.
Com Raven Posted May 7, 2003 Posted May 7, 2003 I think it show pretty nicely that you can be honorable or nefarious...
Pad Posted May 8, 2003 Posted May 8, 2003 i think that would be great animation leemu and it shows kotor nicely as it would be but none the less i think those gold guy animations kick ass
Surfnshannon Posted May 8, 2003 Posted May 8, 2003 I couldn't get the gold guy animations. The web site said they were on the bottom of the page....but they weren't. edited to say "DUH" I found them! I liked the Jedi Academy one the best. The Full Throttle one was teh suck
Jedi Apprentice Posted May 10, 2003 Author Posted May 10, 2003 Wrath Unleashed. LA has finally put up information about this game...... Here It looks very interesting, but what's even more interesting is what the girl is wearing on the left side pic. *writes another game to possibly get*
Taos Posted May 10, 2003 Posted May 10, 2003 I don't think anybody questioned you Com. It does look like an interesting game though. It's all about the demo. The Gold Guy animation for this one is pretty cool too.
Guest Jed Posted May 10, 2003 Posted May 10, 2003 There's still 3 slots to be filled with pictures on that website...*anxiously awaits next 3 announcements* I have to admit, that Gold Guy animation was one of the best yet.
Com Raven Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 Well, two of those slots go to Rebel Strike, and Sam & Max 2... The third? Who knows.... Monkey Island 5? A new Star Wars title? Maybe Battlegrounds 2?
Jedi Apprentice Posted May 11, 2003 Author Posted May 11, 2003 Might be a crazy thought, but I would love to see a Jedi Power Battle's 2. If not Battlegrounds 2 would do fine. I just hope it is a Star Wars game because they already have a ton of non-SW games coming.
Taos Posted May 11, 2003 Posted May 11, 2003 I've been hearing things about a new GB coming out.....so it very well could be that!
Jedi Apprentice Posted May 11, 2003 Author Posted May 11, 2003 Any linkage to your sources, Leemu? Or was it just high up hear say? Anyways I believe you..... I think a GB2 would be very cool. But I hope they would make a new engine for it and not just slap a layer of SW onto an existing engine. I still want JPB2 though! Just think of the awesome combat system they could put into it! *drools* *waits for Lynk to say I hope you choke on your drool*
