Just saw this a little while ago. If this is what the actual gameplay looks like... WOO-HOOOOOOOOO!!! ;^)
ReplyDeletelooks... kinda lame?
ReplyDeletemaybe its not, but that was a really crappy trailer.
And then there is always these naysayers out there...
DeleteHell, we haven't had a SW starfighter combat game since the Gamecube was still one of the cool kids on the block. IMHO it's about damned time.
DeleteThe timing seems a bit odd since they're just building something similar into Old Republic. I'd love to see anything come close to the old Rogue Squardon or the really old Tie Fighter games though. Those were awesome.
DeleteI agree. It's way past time to resurrect Rogue Squadron and TIE Fighter!
DeleteAnd yeah, the small print does seem to indicate that the actual game won't look this good. All the more reason for a return to the old starfighter combat games now that we've got a new generation of consoles and a new SW film series to justify it.
at the end - Footage shown is not an actual gameplay
ReplyDeleteObviously that wasn't in-game footage... C'mon guys... Also, all factors in mind, I wouldn't get my hopes up for this, it's obviously nothing more than a game you would see on Facebook or in a web browser or something...
ReplyDeletereally bad trailer... poor voice acting and poor animation. but its a beta game, lets wait until it launchs!
ReplyDeletefat chance we will be seeing any news tomorrow as some have speculated. maybe at the most we'll get another vintage video from the making of an o.t. film.
ReplyDeleteBelow-average quality trailer, poor audio effects on the voices, and another astromech freaking out at a barrel roll.... Looks bad so far. Let's just hope that this was released to appease the fans whilst they get to work on the serious project.
