Star Wars: Republic Commando.

There's a trailer on pc.ign.com, but you have to subscribe. Bastards. Anyone found it anywhere?

Ooh. Looks saucy. Doom III engine, maybe? Apparently you play as an AOTC-era Republic Clone Commando. Traditionally, Lucasarts is unmatched at churning out cool games, so we'll see how this comes out.


Other E3 news: Warhammer 40K FPS, where you play as a Tau Fire Warrior against the Imperium. Isn't that a change...!

D3 engine? Seems too early for that, since that engine isn't even done yet!

Speculation. The trailer might not be a gameplay trailer, of course. But it has the same visual depth and lighting that I've seen in the DOOM pics and trailers so far.

Still, 'photorealism' is a state of graphics, not a trademark of a specific engine, so you stand a much better chance of being right than I do.

According to one of the captions, this is running on the 'Unreal Warfare' engine.

The trailer looks reminiscent of Aliens with the clone commandos as marines and the Genosians as xenomorphs.

Cool... I think that's the UT2004 engine. Unreal's always been friendly for modmakers, commercial or otherwise.
