January 20, 200521 yr LINKY Actaully, almost sounds like Star Wars Rebellion in a few ways, just upgraded combat
January 20, 200521 yr Star Wars Rebellion *shudders* 'Rebellion' aka 'Supremacy' has to be one of the worst Star Wars games ever...with the exception of 'Yoda Stories' of course.
January 20, 200521 yr LINKY Actaully, almost sounds like Star Wars Rebellion in a few ways, just upgraded combat <{POST_SNAPBACK}> oh god i didnt even bother clicking the link when i saw the reference you made to star wars: rebellion. that had to be the single worst video game purchase ive ever made. <_<
January 20, 200521 yr yeah i've been fallowing this game...sounds good since most of the original c&c team are working on it.
January 20, 200521 yr Those space battles look atrocious. I mean, 2d plane????? If you're looking for a tactical fleet simulator, look at Nexus http://www.nexusthegame.com/ Try the demos. This game is godly. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
January 20, 200521 yr Author I'm not looking for a tactical fleet sim *wonders if he should meantion that he kinda liked rebellion and yoda stories* *thinks better of it*
January 20, 200521 yr *wonders if he should meantion that he kinda liked rebellion and yoda stories* *thinks better of it* <{POST_SNAPBACK}> *points and laughs* just kidding. my main beef with it was it was very the interface, imo, seemed very user unfriendly and clunky. if this new game is more perhaps similar to civilization or something like that, then i might check it out. but if it has any resemblance to rebellion then i will steer clear, better graphics or not.
January 20, 200521 yr What the hell is up with the mention of Rebellion, kumquat? This game has got nothing to do with Rebellion. In any case this game looks like it's using the Earth3 (Earth 2160) Engine. It looks pretty good, and the original C&C developers (Brett Sperry and co) are far more innovative and 'revolutionary' than their counterparts at EA who made Generals. I'm looking forward to this one. Exitium RPG Codex - the premier avant garde gaming news site.

January 20, 200521 yr I loved the concept of Rebellion despite its poor execution. If they can combine Rebellion with Total War, that would make a pretty sweet game. More Rebellion and Total War, less Galactic Battlegrounds and C&C. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle

They might do well with it if it's in the Total War mold, not C&C (which is what you just said, I'm just agreeing). "Working for Davik was like driving a spike in the side of your head.

January 21, 200521 yr Author What the hell is up with the mention of Rebellion, kumquat? This game has got nothing to do with Rebellion. I said it sounds like rebellion in a few ways Like you have a galaxy map with the rebellion and the empire and you select where you want to attack or build at. The Empire is a dominate force while the rebellion runs around in the out rims and such hiding till they build up their strength. You get heros that do battle or diplomacy. You build ship yards and training facilities. You carry troops on to new battles. You use troops to stop spies. actaully, this really does seem like a RTS game with rebellion tacked on.

And if I remember correctly, 'capturing' certain enemy heroes would satisfy a win condition.
January 21, 200521 yr I read the cover story in Feb. CGW, it was on it. Sounds really good actually. Focus is mainly on combat rather than building resources like most other RTSs out right now. Instead, you have 'income' which you get by building certain facilities, but you don't have to recruit civvie units to make you money. I like that...a lot. That's one of the things that pisses me off most about RTS games right now, I HATE having to manage peons while I'm trying to wage a war. The 'TIE' tank looks iffy though...

And if I remember correctly, 'capturing' certain enemy heroes would satisfy a win condition." Yes, in Rebellion you had to capture Luke and Mon Motha, or Vader and the Emperor to win. You also needed to either destroy the Rebel Base (which was moble) or capture Coursant. I think this new RTS sounds just like Rome: Total War in Star Wars. Sounds like it could be a winner, though (Rome is a great game). "Working for Davik was like driving a spike in the side of your head.

January 22, 200521 yr after reading the linked preview im going to have to say this game looks interesting. im still going to wait to hear some more gamer reviews when its released first, but its on my "keep watching" list.

January 22, 200521 yr A much as I hate the Prequel Trilogy, Republic Commando's looking good too... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is that that Halo clone?
January 22, 200521 yr You shouldn't have to worry too much, as they'll probably release a demo eventually. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> im not a big fan of demos. they tend to have limited features and options available, which imo doesnt give you the whole experience.
January 22, 200521 yr A much as I hate the Prequel Trilogy, Republic Commando's looking good too... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is that that Halo clone? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Um, I guess you could call it that. It's an FPS...
January 22, 200521 yr Author No, it seems more like Freedom Fighters, which makes me excited. speaking of which, there was/is a sequel to that game slated for late this or early next year. Last I heard on Gamespot
