KreKol Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 If you don't want to wait try this addon for Battlefield 1942 Battlefield: Galactic Conquest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dambreville Posted January 2, 2004 Report Share Posted January 2, 2004 I can not wait... I wonder if it will have a single player option like BF1942 did? Would be nice if they made the bots smarter... heh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Elio Jason Posted January 5, 2004 Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 it looks interesting but i'm not known to play many games without jedi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terran Marine Posted January 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2004 The reason why Jedi won't be in Battlefront it because the Jedi would be overpowered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzle Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Well, I'm kicking myself for buying another LucasFarts product. Star Wars BattleFront flat out sucks. I just finished uninstalling it after a week of what I can only describe as the most frustrating and futile attempt to enjoy a game, ever. I had such high hopes for it too. It's got console port written all over it, and it's the WORST port I've ever seen. Terrible interface, terrible net code and terrible execution. The only thing that might save it is six more months of development and several patches, but I don't think it will ever lose that nasty console flavor. There are so many things that irritate me about this game that I don't even know where to start. So I won't. I'll just warn everyone else ahead of time to stay "far, far away" from this one. (if there were a vomiting graemlin in our happy little selection, it would be here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gol_Stoan Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 I always thought that trailer looked a bit fishy from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrivener Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Grizzle is right. It's garbage. The Star Wars mods for 1942 are way better than Battlefront even aspires to be. It's like the devs didn't even try. Pass on this one, it's not worth your time or money. BTW - is it just me or is there a startling lack of vehicles in the game?

Dambreville Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 hmmmm... What is happening with Lucas Arts? When was the last time they released an exceptional game? X-wing vs Tie Fighter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 I think most of their creative processes were expended with KOTOR. Either that, or George is slippin with keeping the quality of his licenses in check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzle Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 I think the issue is money. Lucas has always been about the money. So this causes development to focus on the least common denominator in order to maximize profits. So we end up with games most suited for the PC being shoehorned into the limited design and capabilities of console games. Games developed for the PC from the ground up aren't so bad, the Jedi Knight series for example I found very enjoyable. You would think that a man so concerned over copyrights and the image of Star Wars would never let this crap out of the door, but then again this is the same man that thought Jar Jar Binks was a good idea. Somewhere along the line Star Wars became more about the superficial and less about the substance. It's not enough that it looks and sounds like Star Wars and that he seeks to impress us with grand visuals over true content, it has to BE Star Wars. I found the documentary included in the latest DVD set to be very inspiring. He really was a cinematic genious and deserves as much praise as he has gotten, but it's no longer OK to just slap the Star Wars name on a piece of merchandise and throw in a few droids, wookiees and the theme music and expect it to enhance the franchise.

Whoa there Reno, credit for KOTOR goes to Bioware Regardless of the dev house used, LucasArts has final say on everything, so they are ultimately responsible for the quality of the game. Pandemic coded BattleFront, but LA approved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostInSpace Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Maybe lucasarts will redeem themselves with Star Wars Republic Commando even though it's slated as an Xbox title. Don't know if they intend to make a PC port of the game. Maybe if it does very well they will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruis.In Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 get an xbox then and play it if it is meant to be an xbox game. Jedi knight series wasn't bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll play it on my nephew's Xbox. Thanks for the suggestion anyway. 2: The first Jedi knight game with Mysteries of the sith kicked a$$. I hated that they changed to the quake engine. I spent more hours than I can count playing Jedi knight/Mots multiplayer. I loved the fact that you could specificaly target a weapon and pull it from the players hand. They did away with that in the later Jk's. With the addition of the player mod Grappling hook took the Bespin Gantry map to a whole new level of fun. The later incarnations of JK just doesn't do it for me in multiplayer. There just doesn't seem to be the same fun factor that the original JK had. Sure it looks alot better in the graphics department but multiplayer gameplay... eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismoney7 Posted October 4, 2004 Report Share Posted October 4, 2004 Battlefront is great on PS2. Multiplayer is fun too. They could have worked a bit more on the squad commands, it is hard to get my troops to do what I want them to do. The best command system for this I have ever seen was in Freedom Fighters. This game is still good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LostInSpace Posted October 8, 2004 Report Share Posted October 8, 2004 What I find truly amazing is that the short got 4 stars. WTF! I think the Star Wars kid should have won or at least the clip with Yoda and Jar Jar doing the Who's on first skit. That pink 5 is pure drivel.
