*Salutes and jumps off the ship*

If they make a half-dozen games, surely one of them might have some good bits... I'll let someone else try them out first, though. :P

Like with everything that's happened the past few months, we'll just have to see how it goes. Hopefully we'll get something more than a re-skin of an existing game.

I could live with a re-skin, as long as they picked the right parent game. Sins of a Solar Empire could qualify, they'd just need to dump the trade lines and make FTL travel possible between all locations. Unfortunately for them, there's already a very respectable Star Wars mod for SOASE. Sixteen SSDs, anyone? :P

From the dev team combination, it looks like at least one shooter/slasher, one RPG and possibly a MMO. They, however, have absolutely zero history with flight sims or strategic games.

I have that Sins mod, and I freaking love it :P

Didn't take long to crush the pesky Rebels with those. :P

That mod makes all the previous SW strategy games look like poop. Granted, some of them were poop, but still...

EA/DICE is making Battlefront 4

We'll have boots on the ground in two, Admiral. If your eyes in the sky could please advise.

(*giggles with the most unkempt eagerness and anticipation*)

I don't know what you guys thought but - for me - that trailer was able to capture the grittiness of the universe in a mere thirty seconds. I don't know whether I should feel pride over our terrific military machine or absolute horror over what it looks like from the other side.

30 seconds of a white-out, a crashing snowspeeder and one AT-AT's foot. Clearly cinematic footage as opposed to gameplay. From the largest game developer around, I'm not impressed.

Antillies, bear in mind those walkers can be brought down by cables. :P Hardly terrifying. :P

I can appreciate cinematics by themselves. FU had some good ones as did TOR, though I would never play either. Sure, we'll need to see gameplay, but even if it was slightly better than BFII (I imagine it will probably be far better than it) I'd be happy. Though I'm probably easier to please than you lot :P

I was placing myself more in the mindset of that lone infantryman and I think they did a fantastic job of projecting what it would have felt like to be him. Do remember, only one walker was brought down on Hoth because of cables. It's a hard manuever to perform and with the staggered approach of the walkers, an extremely dangerous one. Our gunners did a pretty good job of protecting themselves and those in front of them.

You mean it'll be just like before? With countless shitty SW games and three or so pearls? :p

Eagerly anticipating Force Commander II. :P

Well, since mentioning it won't hurt: those of you looking forward to Star Citizen, Imperial Exploration & Engineering Corps (IEEC) is expecting your applications. Don't be frightened by the language being set to Teutonic.

We're STILL waiting, btw :p
