jaguars4ever Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Llyranor Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 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.

Exitium Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 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.

Leferd Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 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.

More Rebellion and Total War, less Galactic Battlegrounds and C&C. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, I did like the concept of Rebellion. This one does like Rome: Total War with stormtroopers. We'll see. 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.

kumquatq3 Posted January 21, 2005 Author Share Posted January 21, 2005 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.

Child of Flame Posted January 21, 2005 Share Posted January 21, 2005 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...

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.

kumquatq3 Posted January 22, 2005 Author Share Posted January 22, 2005 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.
