StormHammer Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 Oh...my...GOD! They've done it. The game we talked about a couple of years ago...the game I wanted to see them develop. And LEC have finally done it!. Go and read the skinny on it here. There is also a trailer movie link on that page, which rocks, IMHO. I just can't...seem...to...breathe.... *gasp...thud* :D :D :D It will be using the Unreal engine. YES! It will be a brutal FPS for the PC and X-Box! YES! I have a new hotly anticipated title on my list...which is easily up there with JA. Thank you Lucasarts! You actually ROCK!
-=ReApEr=- Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 Whoo that looks the stuff, halo but its star wars but halo. Wow Halo mixed with Star wars, trailer looks awesome as well. I will deffintley be buying this, it looks the stuff.
FunkMaster Solo Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 hmmm...could be nice, but it smells like a X-box first, pc second game...and we all know what ports are like, even if they're made in parallel with the original concept...

I don't think it will be a console port. That wouldn't make a lot of sense, considering they're using the Unreal engine, which is a very strong engine on the PC platform, particularly where MP is concerned. I imagine they will probably do what Bioware have done with SW Knights...and produce the two different platform versions in tandem. Of course it's likely the content will be the same...but there's no reason why that means it will be a bad thing. I have faith in Lucasarts this time around. They've listened to a lot of feedback from the game community over the years, and I don't think they'll set out to disappoint us. I hope they put up an official site for the game soon, with some screenshots, etc., and further information. I want to know if it's mission-based in a similar way to DF/JA...
Jedi Apprentice Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 Wow, this game looks completely awesome! It might even beat JA......well maybe not, but you never know. Squad based clone war action. A dark Star Wars title. I never thought I would be saying that.
matt-- Posted May 13, 2003 Posted May 13, 2003 I can't wait for this...it's bound to have great mp. * adds to list _above_ JA *
Pad Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 yea it looks very promissing. first of all it uses the unreal engine, and second its a sw fps we havent seen before. sweat * adds to list *

Stormy, you just took all the words out of my mouth! *keeps fingers crossed* This type of game.....in the SW universe....they're doing some thinking there now.

boinga1 Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 Honestly I can't stand that trailer, there was 0, repeat 0 footage from the game....which I hate. Sure I don't mind some hype...but I don't see the point if you aren't showing off the gameplay. Make folks suspicious. Ah well, I shouldn't complain at this early stage. Still...we're a clone trooper? How dull a character is that? Granted, missionds'll probably kick butt, but the characters'll be pretty flat.
jokemaster Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 Well, It's definetly different from other, and this could mean a second FPS Star Wars series other than Dark Forces
Swoosh Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 I think it's far too soon to think the story will be flat and boring...I mean, we know the title of the game and a brief trailer. Perhaps this isn't a clone at all...we just don't know at this point. Swoosh
Vagabond Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 I have to admit, that I too had raised eyebrows about playing a clone trooper, and that they featured the blah Geonosians in the trailer - one of the most boring Star Wars combatants ever, in my opinion. However, I love the idea of using the Unreal Engine, and having a squad-based FPS. That should be really fun. They just need to have a much more interesting story than seemed to be the case in the trailer. I mean, if all we do is fight flying bugs and other boring foes, I think I'll go buggy before you can say I've got a bad feeling about this. To be honest, the press release got me more excited than the trailer. Here's to hoping that the actual game is far more interesting than the trailer made it seem *raises glass*

ZeroXcape Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 Someone start working on the web site, this game is gonna be sweet! Gonna take some pictures of it today hopefully, more later.
Wraith 8 Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 that game looks SWEET!... always wanted a star wars game.. where it didnt go all about the stupid Jedi... this is WAY cooler

You, sir, are an absolute gem.
dark jedi 8 Posted May 14, 2003 Posted May 14, 2003 to me it looks like a cross between star wars and halo, and on the x-box, what else could ya ask for? i mean this game will rock! now i found a title to drool over after the release of KOTOR.
WD_Rage Posted May 15, 2003 Posted May 15, 2003 Why couldn't they use the Unreal engine for JK2 and JK3? Bah! Since Raven has made my interest in the JK series die (long live JK1!), maybe this game'll hold my time.
Swoosh Posted May 15, 2003 Posted May 15, 2003 hey, I'd start working on a site...but I'm going to the show tonight! Met and I will see you at the hotel! Swoosh
Shotokan Posted May 15, 2003 Posted May 15, 2003 MAN THIS JUST ROXORS! I'm definitely going to get this!
JBRAA Posted May 16, 2003 Posted May 16, 2003 Stromtrooper: I mean: StormHammer: "Originally posted by ZeroXcape I made a page with still images from the E3 trailer. 78 pix." Hey that aint right. I originally posted that.

Hey that aint right. I originally posted that. Sorry about that. I must have had a momentary lapse of reason. The error has now been corrected. Normal transmission will begin again when R2 does the Makarena(sp?)...
Shotokan Posted May 17, 2003 Posted May 17, 2003 If this game doesn't have a multiplayer I'm definitely going to cry. With such a cool looking game like this it'll be totally unholy that they don't include a mp mode.
