Revan1127 Posted February 26, 2006 Posted February 26, 2006 Hey dose any one think it would be a good idea to have a game based on the mando wars only using a gameplay like empire at war "Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both." Benjamin Franklin " Revan was power and it was like staring into the heart of the force."

Laozi Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 How about a game were you have to spell things in the Star Wars Universe correctly? Any ideas for a good title? 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.

LoneWolf16 Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Fine! See if I share my half-baked, shoddy excuses for ideas with you people again! *runs off crying* I had thought that some of nature's journeymen had made men and not made them well, for they imitated humanity so abominably. - Book of Counted Sorrows 'Cause I won't know the man that kills me and I don't know these men I kill but we all wind up on the same side 'cause ain't none of us doin' god's will. - Everlast
Hurlshort Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Anyone here play Star Wars: Republic Commando? I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was a fun FPS game with some interesting squad elements, and it gave you a grittier side of the SW universe. It was short and not too difficult, but I have trouble finishing any shooter that's over 25 hours.
Darque Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 I think a Deus Ex style FPS/RPG hybrid in this setting would be wicked Actually I think I want all future RPGs to be like Deus Ex

Kalfear Posted February 28, 2006 Posted February 28, 2006 Hey dose any one think it would be a good idea to have a game based on the mando wars only using a gameplay like empire at war <{POST_SNAPBACK}> All depends what type of game. I dont go for the Battlefront and other Star Wars games but a fully developed RPG that detailed the start to finish of the mandalorian wars would be cool! Kalfear Disco and Dragons Avatar Enlarged

And very short, like 4 hours. And if like that kind of gameplay, try Freedom Fighters! http://entertainmentandbeyond.blogspot.com/
Gabrielle Posted March 1, 2006 Posted March 1, 2006 Bastila squad lol <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I never cared much for Mandalorians and I would have no interest in a game about them.

baby arm Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 A Mandalorian Wars Battlefront-ish game wouldn't work because there wouldn't be any recognizable hero units you could market (Fett, Vader, etc) and the grunts would have the same problem (no Stromtroopers, etc). An EAW-ish game would have a similar problem in that there wouldn't be any popular vehicles to include (AT-ATs, X-Wings, etc). It would just end up looking like a generic sci-fi RTS rather than a big deal Star Wars game.

It's hard to come up with Kotor hero's for mandalorians... I think we'd have a better chance of seeing the Sith war come out as a game over Mandalorian wars. you've got heroes and villians to fill out the rosters and you could easily get ships and designs for it.

alanschu Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Why on Earth would you need hero units to market? The Battlefield games are insanely popular sellers, and there's no such thing as a hero unit.
baby arm Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 SW:BF2 let you play as Vader, Leia, Chewbacca, and a bunch of other popular characters. BF1 didn't have those (AFAIK), but it still had recognizable entities from the movies (Stormtroopers, clone troopers, rebel soldiers, etc). Without those, the games would have been Star Wars in name only. Do you think they would really have sold as well without all those well known assets? How many people know what a Mandalorian is compared to a Stormtrooper?
alanschu Posted March 2, 2006 Posted March 2, 2006 Do you think they would really have sold as well without all those well known assets?Yes, I do. Battlefront was the best selling Star Wars games of all time, and you couldn't play as heroes. In fact, the heroes were so stupid in the original game that they were typically turned off. Yes, there were recognizable entities in the game, but there are recognizable entities in the Mandalorian times as well. How many people know what a Mandalorian is compared to a Stormtrooper? At least a million or two, given the sales for the two KOTOR games. This number also ignores the tons of fans that have read the comics as well as the EU of the timeline. Plus there are those that seem to buy anything Star Wars related.
