The Official Demo Review Thread....

[EndSub]

while all you peoples who are on broad band are playing the demo right now, give a thought to us poor guys on dial-ups and give us some info on the demo!

[Guest Sherack Nhar]

Single player wise, it's not worth it. There's only one mission, and it's a commando mission (no base building). The only thing cool with that mission is that we get to control Vader, but his lines get annoying after a while (tired of "For your own safety, I hope this is important"). Oh, he's superstrong alright.

 

Multiplayer wise, I haven't played yet (damn Cillo!!!).

 

The graphics are very good, but like the AoK demo, it won't let you choose 1280x1024. The artwork is fine, except the unit icons. The fireworks are especially impressive.

 

There is no music in the game, except when you finish a mission. The sounds, on the other hand, are absolutely fantastic. It's always been one of LEC's strong points, and it shows. Pure Skywalker Sound stuff. And NICE TAUNTS!!!

 

I'll get back to ya all when I try multiplay.

[Guest Paladin]

Thanx 4 your time and devotion 2 the site. U r the first one who told us about the demo.

[EndSub]

is skirmish included?

[Guest Palpatine]

At least we who are still desperately downloading the demo will get a small taste of what the future will be like when we finish the download (like...next millenium...)

[Guest generalViper]

this demo is not what I thought it would be.....I think they should of made it a little better plus they should have added music in the game

[Guest Bifficvs]

So.....who all is actually gonna own the game here, before the demo is done downloading?

[Guest PaladinsSceptre]

wow im d/l at 70k a sec from file planet, sweet, ill be playing in no time =)

[EndSub]

danm this thread has got a hundred plus views in just over an hour.......thats got to be a board record

[matt--]

It's not fantastic. That's all I can say. Everyone that has it log in to the zone. They have about 23 people in the trials room. We'll get a game goin.

[AoErat]

I loved it. The single player was too short, but multiplayer is really fun.

[Guest Sherack Nhar]

Look at my Demo Tomorrow and The Demo is out!! threads. The oldest one of the two is barely 24 hours old and I've got 1000+ views on it

 

I began playing multiplayer, but we had to stop early (still damn Cillo!!). We didn't even get to tech level 2.

 

I've already got a complaint, though. The sounds aren't as good as I first they they were. They are getting annoying after a while, and they're way too loud. Then, there's the placement of icons. It's really confusing - why didn't they align the four production centers into one clean row?? Of course, this is all subject to change.

[EndSub]

does it have skirmish?????

[Guest PaladinsSceptre]

I expected more out of the graphics, the ai path finding is kinda weak, either that or they just kept trying to get into formation everytime they moved, sounds were good, i didnt like some of the voices, they should have just took the quotes from the movies, i hope the mplayer is better

[Guest generalViper]

THE AT-ST'S SUCK IN THE DEMO

[matt--]

They do suck. I hope it isn't a repeat of force commander.

[darthfergie]

IT IS A DEMO FOR CRING OUT LOUD!!!

THEY DON'T GIVE YOU EVERYTHING FREE!!!

 

You are expecting everything out of a single demo.

[Dagobahn Eagle]

(tired of "For your own safety, I hope this is important"). Oh, he's superstrong alright.

 

Oh, NOOOOOO! That was one of the things I hated about FoCom! In AoK, nobody said anything understandable, but that was just as cool. Just some phases like "Yes", "Gathera", stuff like that. In FoCom, it's all like so annoying. In Ground control, something in between. All they said was stuff like "my hoverdynes are moving" and such (and those guys in the order were cool, with their "Yes, deacon", and "At once, deacon". At first I didn't get what they said and I just thought it sounded cool . I thought they said something like "Deakka" instead of Deacon :rolleyes). I can't belive LEC is making the same mistake again. The rest of the phrases had better be good.

 

-My legs are itching

-Damn, general protection fault!

-Waitaminute, I can't find my make-up .

-My ears are too big, I'll have to cut'em off first.

-Don't tell me we've got one of those freighters on the back of our bridge again .

We can't even install downloaded stuff in the labs here.

[darthfergie]

I am very close to giving up and waiting for the demo CD...

 

Gamespot is still massively slow:mad:

And nobody else carries it...well besides fileplanet and that costs money:rolleyes:

It isn't even on Gamespot's UK site:rolleyes:

[Guest Tie Guy]

try the ftp.lucasarts.com site, they have to have it on there, and i bet no one is getting it from there.

 

EDIT: Nevermind, they don't have it, i guess they chose to do it through gamespot again, and not put it on their own server.

[Guest VashtheStampede]

yeah I feel your pain, I've got cable so I think I may just wait until some other site picks it up or not so many people are downloading....which ever comes first. OR just wait and by the game, it might be quicker.......

[Guest DarkTrooper]

the demo rox u r the empire and Vader is slaying everyone

[EndSub]

I'm getting a pretty good speed for dial-up.....3-4k........

[Guest jigga]

The multip is not bad I played a game where we all went up to level three then fought just to see all the units.

 

I thought the game would have looked better, I usually play on high resolution.

 

I hate the fire effects of the buildings they look so fake.

 

You get sith and jedi in the game and bounty hunters no large mechs.

 

Its a bit confusing remembering which resource is which.

 

Death animations are not as good as AOK. AOK seemed smoother

 

When I first played it I was disappointed after I played the muilti it got much better.

 

Its funny to see in the main menu screen how similar it is to AOK
