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]

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]

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]
