409497 2005-12-03 00:31:00 Is anyone else getting excited about this upcoming Star Wars RTS?

I've been following it for a while. I checked out some streaming videos of it on GameSpot today after having only seen screen shots and it does look very impressive indeed!

I'm sure it will be a great game however I am still waiting for them to do a remake of Tie Fighter! :lol: :)

409498 2005-12-03 00:52:00 Remake of Tie Fighter eh?
You need the Tie Fighter Total Conversion. (http://www.tftc.gaylenol.com/) It requires Tie Fighter and XWing Alliance disks for it to run.

Other than that, gimme the original Talkie CD version any day! :D
That and Freespace 2. YEAH BABY!

409499 2005-12-03 01:08:00 Hmm... good idea but I was after one from LucasArts :)

I have the 3.5 version of TieFighter for DOS and FreeSpace 2 - both very good indeed - Tie Fighter definitely shows its age now though...

Nah! Old classics NEVER DIE. I still play Tie Fighter 95. Now to complete Xwing 95. :angry

409501 2005-12-03 02:38:00 Aha, but then why not just be special and get X-wing vs Tie-Fighter like the rest of us :p, the balance of power expansion just made it all the more enjoyable. lagbort (5041)
409502 2005-12-03 03:21:00 I have XW vs TF But I cant find the BOP expansion pack. :( bob_doe_nz (92)
409503 2005-12-03 19:14:00 I am sold. Was looking at AoE3 or Civ4. May wait for this one.

Downloading trailers now.

I have a 6600GT 128Mb. It should be good enough.

409504 2005-12-04 00:27:00 I played the demo of AoE3 - it was fun for a while and looked nice but was really just more of the same...

The whole fight on land and in space thing of SW:EAW really got me into it - massive amounts of vehicles, ships, units, creatures etc. I think the best part about it is the time in which it is set - everyone knows the original Star Wars movies were the best (SW3 was excellent too)!

Looks like heaps of effort and detail has been put into it - I can't wait to play it - gotta love that SW music!

I will be awaiting the demo with some anxiety - I wonder what the system requirements will be.... :confused:

409505 2006-01-31 11:09:00 The demo for this game has been out for a little while... :thumbs:


At ~742MB it sure breaks the bandwidth bank though! :horrified I might grab the next mag I see with it on the coverdisc...


The Gameplanet NZ FTP is hosting a copy for those that are interested.
