StormHammer Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 I don't normally post two threads on the same topic across 2 forums, but I'm making an exception in this instance. Lucasarts have just announced they are developing Star Wars: Republic Commando...a dark and intense FPS using an enhanced version of the Unreal engine, for the PC and X-Box. My wish has finally come true. I talked about them making a game like this a few years ago...and they've finally gone and done it. Thank you Lucasarts! Go here for the other thread I started on this...which has the link to their information, and a movie. Enjoy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 *wipes tears away from eyes* It's... it's so very beautiful. Am I dreaming? *pinches Stormhammer* Nope! I'm not dreaming! Eveyrone go watch the trailer! It's pants meltingly good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Count Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 My only worry is it will take a year to make, however it will be cool to see if LEC can make a great FPS without Raven's help, I hope it catches the scary essence of Dark Forces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darklighter Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 *Stares wide-eyed at trailer, and starts to drool* I don't believe it...these images before me...they cannot be real...oh my god... *Passes out* Damn this game looks sooo good! ^^ My goodness, what a lovely surprise this is:DExcuse me... *Goes to watch trailer again* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ratmjedi Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 Finally they are going to make a FPS where you wont have a Lightsaber or Force powers. I mean they are cool and everything but I would rather blow up and shoot some droids up then using a Lightsaber. It will also be set in the Clone War Era so it should be some new enviroments and just a awesome story. What better FPS then actually being a soldier in the Clone Wars. I can't wait to get home and acess the site because I am at school right now and all that crap is filtered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been waiting for this for a long time. I can't wait to get hold of some serious SW hardware, and start blasting things. As Dooku said, if they can recapture the essence of DF, and make it 10 times better, they'll be onto a winner with this. It looks like LEC have finally bitten the bullet to develop this under the Unreal engine. Fantastic move, I say...and I think they've been looking at a lot of fan feedback around JO/JA where people asked for those games to be on the Unreal engine. I think that movie trailer is probably a cut scene...but what a scene. If it proves to be in-game footage, then I don't think I'll ever get my jaw back off the floor. OMG...can you imagine MP for a game like this? Wacky_Baccy...you're entirely welcome. Anyway, I had to try and outdo digl...he's usually the one who gets info up first. I wonder what happened to him this time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C'jais Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 It doesn't look like ingame footage, but if they do use the latest Unreal engine, they could make something which should be pretty damn close! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pad Posted May 13, 2003 Share Posted May 13, 2003 * tries to dl the trailer * o crap, doesnt work o well, seein as its gonne be using the unreal engine, it cant be bad. and as its a different kind of sw game i think its very promissing aswell. * adds to must buy list * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Interesting. I'm actually more excited over the new Sam & Max game though. That one looks like a riot. There's one empty square left on the LA E3 announcement page. *Crosses fingers* *Crosses toes* *Crosses every other appendage flexable enough to be crossed* Please be an X-Wing game! Please please please please please! Now that LA is working with Lawrence Holland and Totally Games (the new Secret Weapons Over Normandy) again that doesn't sound so crazy anymore. Please please please please please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Wait, isn't it a given that the last square is RS3 or are we getting another surprise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edlib Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 You might have a point. I didn't think about RS3. Still... that relationship between LA and Totally Games bodes well for X-Wing fans. If not announced now, then soon... The reviving of so many of LA's classic titles and characters leads me to think that the idea of a new X-Wing sequels isn't so impossible anymore. Hope springs eternal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acrylic Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 WAY too many SW games...its annoying. Good ones will be JK3, SWG, and KOTOR. Thats all I'll pay attention too (for SW that is) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormHammer Posted May 14, 2003 Author Share Posted May 14, 2003 Originally posted by Padanime * tries to dl the trailer * o crap, doesnt work [/i] Sorry to hear that, Pad. Have you got the latest version of Quicktime installed? Originally posted by AcrylicGuitar WAY too many SW games...its annoying. I disagree. Out of 11 titles that are being announced, only 4 so far are Star Wars. That's less than half their line-up...and will still be half even if the last one is a SW game as well. Considering they're the only developer allowed to make SW games (now by sub-contracting other developers), 4 or 5 SW games in the works doesn't really constitute that much... Anyway...I'm still patiently waiting for more information about SW:RC. *looks meaningfully in the direction of Lucasarts* Well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 Originally posted by ZBomber You can;t ahve too many Star Wars Games, EVER. I could not agree more. I am all over this particular game, I feel it will be one of the most popular Star Wars titles ever, and will generate hundreds of fans in the same way that Jedi Outcast did on it's release. Just when I was getting ready to give up on video games.... this goes and happens. This game, and Jedi Academy will be the two titles that I will be willing to give up money for. *watches trailer again....faints* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
•-BLaCKouT-• Posted May 14, 2003 Share Posted May 14, 2003 That video looks gorgeous! Mind you, this beast of a machine had trouble running the UT03 demo until I dropped all the settings until it looked like Dark Forces Still, a year eh? Less beer, more computer hardware I fear... I've got Doom3 to think about as well. The real test will be if I still play JO... EDIT: After watching it a couple (!) more times, I remember when the Clone Wars Animation was announced, and there were a few debates on whether the animation should be stylised (â la Samurai Jack) or photo-realistic (â la Final Fantasy). At the time I opted for stylised; I'm not sure now. If the CW Cartoons could be as out-and-out violent as that movie (which is doubtable) then I'd love to see that as a series. B.

Yeah, I'm inclined to agree with you. A CGI animated series would be much better than the style they're going for. Back on topic...I wonder why there is no official site for this game, yet? All of the others that have been announced have official sites...but this one just has the Press Release and nothing else. That looks a bit odd, to me. Even if they haven't got any in-game screenshots, or anything, an official site would be nice to have. They could show us come concept art, if nothing else. Come on LEC...you can't leave us hanging like this... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Anyone know if any stores are taking pre-orders on this game? I personally have not pre-ordered a game since "The Phantom Mencace" came out for Playstation. I DEFINITELY will pre-order this one, because I have a funny feeling this one will fly off the shelf quicker than an Iraqi post-Saddam clearance sale.

swphreak Posted May 15, 2003 Share Posted May 15, 2003 Yea, it's all nice and all, but I want my EU Video Game!! *pouts* okok, the game will be awesome. The graphics better be just a good as the trailer too. That'd kick ass!. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
