Child of Flame Posted January 22, 2005 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. Last I heard on Gamespot <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Q1 '05. There was a preview for that too. You should probably just pick up the mag...there was a surprisingly large amount of news in it this month (CGW February).
Ivan the Terrible Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 The tragedy of Rebellion is that it did a very cool concept badly; I'm glad that Lucasarts is willing to give a Star Wars grand strategy game another swing, and if done with the Total War series as a model I'll definetely be looking forward to it. Maybe this time, when I use the Death Star, the whole freaking Galaxy won't turn against me. <_< I made this half-pony half-monkey monster to please you But I get the feeling that you don't like it What's with all the screaming? You like monkeys, you like ponies Maybe you don't like monsters so much Maybe I used too many monkeys Isn't it enough to know that I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
jaguars4ever Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 Maybe this time, when I use the Death Star, the whole freaking Galaxy won't turn against me. <_< <{POST_SNAPBACK}> At least you got to use the Death Star, before some punk blows it up. <_<

But seriously, what's the point of having the power to destroy planets if the result is, not fear and submission, but virtually every system in the Galaxy suddenly turning massively against you? If Rebellion weren't already a crappy game, that aspect of it might have been annoying.

In the Star Wars EU, I believe it's called the Tarkin doctrine; set a few examples, and rather than having to set up expensive garrisons on every planet in the galaxy you can have rebellious planets eating out of your hand by the sheer terror that your new weapon might be used against them. 'Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this battle station. If the Death Star was suddenly destroyed, ala Episode IV, then I could see a sudden drop in support for the Empire....but so long as it exists, it should serve as a handy encouragement for loyalty to the Emperor.

Ludozee Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 It kinda looks like Galactic Battlegrounds in 3D only with space battles. Looks promising at first glance. (I did miss the dreadnought cruisers in the screenshots though...)

Yes, on the surface, but you are going to get strong underground rebel movements, as well as the general population being against you. So popular support should have turned against you, but the Death Star should have prevented uprisings in all but the worse conditions.
Laozi Posted January 24, 2005 Posted January 24, 2005 C&C games have to be really good to keep me interested, I just wish that Lucas Arts would allow atleast a couple of genres be, and concentrate on making a couple of really good games a year, but that seems to be the way of things, I mean look at Forgotten Realms they have made quite a few games that were.....well....forgettable People laugh when I say that I think a jellyfish is one of the most beautiful things in the world. What they don't understand is, I mean a jellyfish with long, blond hair.
