kingofsquid Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) the chat gem is working as intended eh? edit: i want a proper remake of tie-fighter. i want a new dark forces game. a prequel. i want to be mercenary kyle katarn again, not a jedi. i want most of all: a tactical realtime or (even better) real time with pause strategy game ala homeworld where all your units are mother****ing spaceships like tie fighters and star destroyers and corellian corvettes and calamari cruisers and those frigates etc basically, i want homeworld 3. and i want it set in the star wars universe. and i want a pause feature so i can take my time manipulating my squads. and i want it NOW. also, i want the next Total War game to be "Star Wars: Total War". oh god i just peed myself. It's called "Star Wars: Empire at War, and the Forces of Corruption Expansion. <bg> Edited October 9, 2009 by kingofsquid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ZNSPARTAN Posted October 9, 2009 Author Share Posted October 9, 2009 Okay,if you where told that you get to pick what features will be in an upcoming classified starwars game what would you think will entertain gamers? For me I would kinda like a jedi,sith free zone.For once I would like to see a game where clones get to battle it out without getting sliced n' diced by lightsaber users.Features such as:being able to custamize your character like change their colour,helmet and armor.I would also like to see vehicle usage and, XTREMELY good graphics and the classic,switching from land to space without loading.Oh and I would also like it to be fully First Person Shooter,not because I have any thing against Third Person Shooters,it's just that I actually like being in the eyes of the person and not a camara following it.Comment as you wish but please not rudely Sounds like Battlefront 3 before it was cancelled. It's cancelled?I was told it was just taken over by Rebellion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magister Lajciak Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Without a doubt, a proper, single-player KOTOR 3 would be the Star Wars game I would wish for. A distant second would be another game in the Jedi Academy series (like somebody already mentioned, a proper Jedi Academy 3). I am not really interested in seeing any other game in the Star Wars setting, though I could be persuaded by other single-player RPGs, single-player shooters and possibly even by strategy games if they promised high quality storylines and gameplay. I am not interested in playing any online games, regardless of whether they are Star Wars or something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
entrerix Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 It's called "Star Wars: Empire at War, and the Forces of Corruption Expansion.<bg> I've never heard anyone say that those games are as good as homeworld. i've never even heard them be compared to homeworld. i was always under the impression those star wars games were like crap starcraft knockoffs. have i been missing out? Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

No you haven't. They are nothing like Homeworld and probably shouldn't even be used in the same sentence. EaW has a really simplistic strategy mode(think Total War, but super simple and in space) and really simplistic space/ground battles that are more like skirmishes. You move your units into place on the strategic map and then fight real time battles in the tactical mode. It's just another mediocre(at best) game with the Star Wars name put on it somewhere along the way. There's a demo if you're really really interested.

entrerix Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 ah, thats more in line with what i'd been hearing. also, i dont think the metacritic score would be 79 if the game was on par with either homeworld OR a Total War game. Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

Purkake Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 (edited) Mr Squid is just hyped as per usual. It's not a horrible game, but it gets old really fast and has the depth of a soup bowl. Edited October 9, 2009 by Purkake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purkake Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Sure, but even if I like a game I won't go around proclaiming that it is the best thing since sliced bread. Compared to other strategy games EaW is mediocre at best. Go try Homeworld and let us know what you think of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsquid Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 What is Homeworld? And I wasn't proclaiming that EaW is the best thing since sliced bread. It's a good game, but apparently we have different tastes. I like Halo, Mythology-type Games (age of Mythology, Spartan: Total Warrior), Star Wars, and Strategy Games.

Bos_hybrid Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Go try Homeworld and let us know what you think of it. And he can get a great Star Wars mod for it. Sins Of a Solar Empire also has a great SW mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purkake Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 Nexus has a sweet Battlestar mod for it IIRC. The Homeworld campaign is pretty good as it is, if a little too hard AND it will play on any old-ass computer you can find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purkake Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 (edited) It's a single CD, so probably less than a gigabyte. There's also a demo weighing in at ~60MB if you think your dial-up can handle it. EDIT: My Homeworld 2 folder is about 750MB, HW1 probably takes less.

Bos_hybrid Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Wish I could try. You can buy them both cheaply if your internet is poor. At my local EB you can pick up Homeworld 2 for $10. Haven't seen the original for sale lately and I don't think they ever re-released Cataclysm(original expansion) again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kissamies Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 A proper turn based strategy game for galaxy scale. Could have real time tactical combat or not. I don't care as long as it has a pause. A new Holland flight sim. Failing that, a re-make of TIE Fighter. New Dark Forces/Jedi Knight game. It'd have to have a good engine, though. I was unimpressed by that Quake 3 stuff. Pretty enough, but bad gameplay. Of course, KotOR 3. A singleplayer RPG set on some other era might be good enough consolation. SODOFF Steam group.

Atom523 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 We've been over this. You're the only one who likes EaW. Now that isn't fair, i really enjoy Empire at War. The vanilla game is fun and with the inclusions of the many mods the game has lasting appeal. Now i will say that the Homeworld series is quite different, and it serves a different purpose. You cannot really compare the two they both play too differently even though they are both RTS games. Personally I mainly play homeworld for their campaigns i love the gameplay and development, Empire at war I find personally fun for the galactic skirmish mode where i can ignore the story and plot developments and just conquer the galaxy. They are both good games in my opinion but play differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purkake Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 I wasn't being entirely serious, but EaW is hardly GOTY material either. If you have to compare it to something, it's Star Wars: Diet Total War Lite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaguars4ever Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 EaW is really just the bastard child of Supremacy/Rebellion and Galactic Battlegrounds. Both too distasteful to mention in polite company, and their consummation is more disturbing than awkward. But at least it's better than Force Commander! By Azura, by Azura, by Azura...
