Just about any company would love to have a "failure" like K2. Sure, but I'm not saying K2 was a failture, simply that LA really built it up and got the hype going, and then released a sub-par uncompleted game. Taking into account fan and,...  [Read More]

And which company develops it? Can't be Bioware or Obsidian, or they would have said so... And I doubt a good Kotor III can be developed in anything less than 1.5 years. Why would they have said so? Many of LA's prjects have had lots of publicity and...  [Read More]

See, now I think it would be really funny if LA do K3 this year, making IGN wrong twice. Anyway personally I still predict that K3 will be released this year as part of the 30th anniversary festivities....  [Read More]

Old fart? I'm 22! And the original Star Wars movies are some of the best films in cinema history...while the last three were just summer blockbuster fluff for the kiddies. As I've said a couple times, I hope they don't make a "Republic at War&q...  [Read More]

You never know what they haven't announced though ;) Hopefully there will be another EaW game or x-pack in the future. If there is a new game or x-pac in the works, lets hope this time that it caters to all SW fans, and not just the old farts who lov...  [Read More]

I agree with Tears. While it was a cool idea, it was done really badly. Particularly when you have a criminal/underworld organisation with Battleships and Main Battle Tanks, things have become a bit stupid....  [Read More]

Well personally, I intend to change a lot of things when I get FoC. From what I've heard, I'll definately be putting Vader back into his fighter, and giving Piett the Executor. As for Ysalami - well I'm going to remove their powers altogether....  [Read More]

This strikes me as really odd that Petroglyph would disable the original campaigns through the x-pac. I seem to recall, correctly or not, a few of the C&C games where you could still play the original campaigns with the added content - could have...  [Read More]

Darth Windu: Ad contrario, amici mei--the title of the thread explicitly refers to the US edition of the game, which is a CD edition, as contrasted with the UK edition which is apparently on a DVD. Ergo, you are entirely off-base with your comments...  [Read More]

Speaking as someone in Australia who only has a CD-RW drive, I am very happy that EaW came out here on CD's. There are a lot of great game I would like to buy, like GTA: San Andreas, but I'm not going to upgrade to a DVD-ROM just for that....  [Read More]

It's always possible this will appear in a later product. Designers are pretty notorious for re-using ideas :D You mean in Star Wars: Clones at War :D Seriously though how similar do you think EaW/FoC would have been to the released version, compare...  [Read More]

As Wedge noted, being able to make any ship into a suicide ship makes the Consortium even more sneaky, and keeps the enemy guessing. However I would look more at the conversion to a suicide ship as being on a strategic level rather than the tactical...  [Read More]

I guess some people are just stubborn at accepting certain things. I'm not going to bother. As DarthCarth pointed out, this is spam. Please do not do it again. Actually I just had a new idea as well. How about instead of having a 'ramship' or someth...  [Read More]

Exactly. Just like in the original C&C where Nod didn't have anything that could go head-to-head with a Medium Tank or a Mammoth Tank, yet they could still win. Also like in 'Generals' where the GLA doesn't really have any heavy armour or airpowe...  [Read More]

But realism is very important, especially in games like this. After all, if every faction had ISD's, Mon Cal Cruisers and if Luke was a 10ft giant with lightsabres for arms, it wouldn't be a good Star Wars game now would it? As I pointed out with th...  [Read More]

But then the pirates should need an armada to take down an ISD. Mind you, I'm personally not fond of the idea that a criminal organisation can militarily stand up to the Empire and Rebellion, but there you go. I also love the XML file system which c...  [Read More]
