Game Trailers talks about LOTS of Star Wars Games

Post by Saxtonite »

seriously, they talk about stuff from the original arcade to Star Wars Battlefront II, and even stuff like Rebellion, etc


it's nice that they got all the terms right, see 'Eclipse class star dreadnought' and all the right classifications for ships, etc. though in EAW IIRC you don't automatically have 10 groups of units to defend the planet....and using the term 'Confederacy of Independent Systems' to refer to the separatists sometimes. Also the term "Twin Ion Engine" as well, and pronouncing Thrawn's name (Mii'th'rawn'do, sorry for the spelling)...I also remember shooting the Jawas in battlefront due to them stealing stuff, or for ammo and the like...

I went to watch it again and got "We are performing site maintenance. Please be patient." Weak.

I'd seen it before, though. I happenned across it while watching Angry Video Game Nerd. I was a huge fan of the X-Wing/TIE Fighter series. They don't make games like that anymore.

What's wrong with those terms?

That post is so rambling and incoherent I can't tell if he approves or disapproves.

My good man, the CIS is the official name for the Separatist government, and what exactly did you think TIE stood for?

Bounty, Darth Raptor, and Master_Baerne, I approve (I am VERY happy about it). I am excited that they got all the correct classifications and in-universe information correct.

Palantas, they are still up-dating and adding more stuff. literally yesterday they added on a chapter dealing with Rebel Assault and Rogue Squadron.

It's definitely a nice retrospetcive, and I especially like the way they grouped games by theme rather than doing a simple chronological overview. However, it really starts to drag around the fifth or sixth instalment, and I wouldn't want to sit through all chapters in one go.

Did I mishear or they they say Revenge of the Sith was released on the Gamecube? Because it most definitely wasn't.
