Battlefield 1942 meets Star Wars= properly.

Those screenshots + my new system coming in within a week = messy underpants.

If there aren't pilotable AT-ATs, it's a complete failure in my eyes.

If I can't be sitting in an AT-AT cockpit commanding the battle from there with a driver and gunner infront of me and a platoon of the Emperors finest in the back its a complete failure for me...

Of course the vehicles are pilotable. Heck, it even looks kinda like bf1942. The guns are a pleasant surprise.

Can you call an orbital bombardment?

Playstation? God damnit what a waste of a good game.

Always check Gamespot first.

This game is being slated for the PS/2, but also for the Gamecube, XBox and PC. So don't fret.

Wow, first I've heard of this game. Off to Lucasarts dotcom I go.

For PC? *Drrrrrrrrrrroooooooooooooool* Hey knife! Wait up! *Heads over to Gamespy*

Damn, this could be good. Let's hope it's more of a Jedi Outcast than a Phantom Menace.

Hmm... for PS2 primarily... could be portish for the PC... hrm... this had better be fucking good! *shakes fist angrily at nothing in particular*

Oh well... I'll always have Galactic Conquest.

PSII? Say, I have a PSII! Hooray!

*huggles PS2* *Relalises he has no money*

If it is anything like 1942, shooting the AT-AT with a blaster enough time will kill it....

This game looks nice, but, being made primarily for the PS/2, the other systems may get shorted a bit. Games work best when tailored to a specific system, methinks.

I would have been happier with a design for PC and ported to consoles. You KNOW it is going to seriously lack for PC now I doubt we will see 64 player MP maps and such..

Hopefully there might be some modding potential with the PC port.

Evidenced by Games Like GTA3 (Excluding the much touted improved targeting system...I just don't see much difference from PS2 to PC) but you could also end up with something like Halo, which was great on XBox, but REALLY shines on PC (if for no other reason than the addition of easy internet multiplayer) I think, however, many VG companies are getting better at taking advantage of different system's strengths and weaknesses and seem to be moving away from direct porting. time will tell, I suppose.

Great. Another GCW game...

What's wrong with that? Its a pretty exciting time in the galaxy, and we've never had a game focusing on the actual troops before (Dark Forces series has always been Quake-style FPS with focus on Jedi).

I suppose, but it just seems done to death, although for this type of game I suppose it would be best. I'm just tired of seeing the same events re-hashed ad nauseum.

And only the first Dark Forces game was a GCW game. The sequels took place post-Endor.

Nope......the equivalent of a blaster would be a rifle. I don't care how many times you shoot a tank with a rifle you won't kill it.

People should try not to forget that Republic Commando is coming out in a short bit too, and is promising gritty and 'realistic' Clone Wars squad-based FPS action.

I may need to get a PS2 network connection....
