I'm such a geek. That gave me goosebumps and made me tingly. I want it.

Looks like Lucasarts might finally make an RTS that doesn't suck.

This may be just the motivation I need to save up money for a computer that doesn't suck.

Anyone know when this thing is supposed to be released?

Posted: **2005-07-23 01:26am**

February 2006. Says in the trailer also.

Hmmm-mmmmm. Time to start saving for a major system upgrade. I take back every nit-picking thing I ever said against this game.

Holy shit look at the video with the Deathstar on it....

<Joey Stiles> OH MY GOD!</Joey Stiles>

thats fucking fantastic looking. The units look amazing.

So pretty.. Now if only we could acutal pilot those TIE's.

Come on Lucusarts, you know we would pay hard cash for a massive graphics update on TIE Fighter.

Wow! That was really nice!

I suspect this game has 'destructible environments'.

Ho-lee fuck.

What's the planetary unit set up like? The infantry is reminding my heavily of Dawn of War, which would fucking rock as I could buy ten units of infantry, only increase the unit cap by ten and then march off with a hundred little soldiers to wreak havoc.

Wow... I want that really bad.

Is there a list anywhere for the units (ground and space) that you are allowed to control?

Posted: **2005-07-23 06:16pm**

Is it just me or does the space combat interface look alot like the Star Trek: Armada 2 one on steroids? Also, appearantly Darth Vader is a playable unit, like having a hero unit in Warcraft.

Posted: **2005-07-23 06:19pm**

This thread is an exact copy of our last EaW thread(the one Vs SC).

The game looks pretty untill you compare it with other stuff. Armada 2 with a DS and ground combat WC3 style.

Reminded me more of SW:Force Commander in space.

And I don't think you build bases and all that like in ST:A I & II... though I could be wrong.

Either way, yeah, it does remind me of Armada II, but mainly because there's a SW mod where you can get the Empire and the Rebellion when you play -- but the graphics are far better for Empire at War.

I'm sorry, but... how the fuck am I going to control all of those units at once? Unless they have the most amazing AI ever constructed, they're going to flop around like retards and this game will have to have equally retarded enemies to not be impossible.

I'm buying it no matter what. I only hope it's good.

You might want to actually wait until there are some reviews out before taking such a gamble.

Posted: **2005-07-23 11:03pm**

Pretty graphics.

Other than that, I don't see much that we haven't seen before.

I have a pic from the game in my Avatar!

You know what really made me drool is the damage models of the starships! For instance check out these:

Me Want!

And in otther news, Battlefront II will hit store shelves on November 1, the same day as the DVD for ROTS.

They seem to be putting a lot of time into this game; I've been hearing buzz about it for awhile. It should work out pretty good, and be a little more than eye-candy. SW games that flop seem to do so not because of pressure from Lucasarts to crank out a title, but the developer's own unwillingness to hold back from the SW trough and shove a game through wth minimal ammenities and buggy bells.
