Battlefront or Republic Commando?

[The_lizard]

Hiya , i know these arent out yet , but in running a poll , which would you rather get ? Star Wars Battlefront or Star wars Republic Commando?

[=tom=]

both of course :p

[The_lizard]

Republic Commando looks kinda boring with single player and only three basic online game modes , yet battlefront only has one , more intresting online mode , which should i get!? well atleast ive got about 100 days left to decide!

[Dingo Dave]

Battlefront - commando looks a bit boring.

[The_lizard]

Well i dont know , i just wanna see the imperial and clone part of the lucasarts website , only two of the factions are available to see . separatist droids and republic

[jdtech]

Well, both, of course, since they both come out just before my birthday. Battlefront for PC (mods :p) and Republic Commando for Xbox.

From what I've seen of Battlefront it looks very cool, however graphics look a little bit low, especially the Droideka animation, not like on MB, but then again that was only an Alpha. I've seen the new Separatist section and the lack of a "Battle Droid" gets me a bit, I wanted to see them die. It appears the "Pilot Droid" does not have the blue markings on the shoulder (well what would be the shoulders).

Anyway, I'm sure there will be mods to fix this and considering it comes out on the 21st September and my Birthday is the 30th September I've stuck lucky and shouldn't be too far behind... :)

Battlefront basically seems to be what we've got here on a grander scale...

Cheers,
John

P.S. I'll show you what I mean by the Pilot Droid -

Here is a Rocket Battle Droid -
http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swbattlefront/images/CIS_AntiArmorDroid.jpg
It appears to be a standard battle droid with a rocket launcher

And here is a Pilot Battle Droid -
http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swbattlefront/images/CIS_PilotDroid.jpg
It appears to be the same as a standard battle droid. :confused:

And they also all look like the Recon Droid -
http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swbattlefront/images/CIS_ReconDroid.jpg

See what I mean?

[Dingo Dave]

Do the battle droids see out of the eye markings? I always thought they didn't. If there droids surely they can patch in scope data into there visual sensors instead of having to look. (just noticed they have very human poses)

[eGL|Darth.Hunter]

I'll buy both.
I like fast first person shooters like republic commando and the graphic looks very good.
On the other side, I always wanted to play the big battles (ah I can't wait to drive that AT-TE). So - very different games and I'll get both ;)

[StormShadow]

Battlefront definetly like others said republic commando looks boring :D

[The_lizard]

Battlefront for me , its online which keeps me playing the game , i wouldnt play JA anymore if it didnt have online , republic has online but only DM , team DM and CTF , very basic modes , battlefront has what look like far better maps from the screenshots and only one , but slightly more intresting online mode . also im glad battlefronts graphics arent to great , i only have an old g-force 2 graphics card.

[Dingo Dave]

Also once you've played commando all the way through i think ity would be qutie monotonous. Battlefront is tactics so very different.

[Cyberrblob]

I am personaly looking forward to battlefront.
I really enjoy the whole battlefield 1942 game and a star wars version of this
is nothing but incredible. but a few things I am a bit concerned about is the lack of jedi, i think this class if put in would get spammed but you could put a limit on it so its first come first serve! But this isnt going to happen, unless a mod is made to add these in. which shouldnt be too hard because I heard that the jedi where going to be making an apearence in single player, so I am hoping this can be used for multiplayer.

Republic commando looks good too , I like the fact that its gonna be a much darker setting than that of the prequal trilogy so far. It might suck online and not have much playability but I am sure the single player aspect is worth a look .
I do like a good single player game when I am downloading and my bandwith is taking a beating.v :eek:

The Jedi shouldn't be a problem. Just look at MBII here, not everyone struts around as Jedi, because they are not all-powerful. If they just balance the Jedi in Battlefront, then some people would use them, others not.

Personally, I look forward to Republic Commando more. I like the darker setting and the squad-based gameplay. It's probably not going to end up as Rainbow Six in a SW setting, but some tactics will be involved.

[The_lizard]

Im still more intrested in battlefront :D but mind you battlefront is ment to be the gunner battles . with jedi spam it would just get boring , i reckon that jedi should stay as NPCs , but one of the imperials special abilitys is deathstar in battlefront , i mean will that just make the round a draw or make the imperials win!? and i reckon republic commando looks good for single player , which i find boring once i complete the game , and battlefront looks fairly good single and online.

btw , the jedi are NPCs in battlefield

[Cyberrblob]

but one of the imperials special abilitys is deathstar in battlefront , i mean will that just make the round a draw or make the imperials win!?


Where did you find that out?
I presume this ability will be much like the ion painter in unreal 2003/2004
where u tell the death star to destroy targets. this could be sweet but i see spammage and whoring lol.

by NPC you mean computer AI? i am noob to this lol

NPC - Non-Player Character
May be controlled by AI, but many NPC:s are scripted in a lot of games. Take Diablo II, everyone in the rogue camp are NPC:s, but there's not much of an AI there, is it?

I never played diablo. but the last game i played where there are npcs that are just scripted was splintered cell pandor 2morrow. I get the impression battlfront is probly gonna have the jedi class scripted becuase I heard from an interview that they are only gonna make brief apearences, I guess this will be in single player when there are cut scenes.#

I like the idea of flying around in the snowspeeder shooting at-ats on hoth and catching a glimpse of luke shooting a wire up to them and throwing thermal dets up there batty lol.

[Dingo Dave]

the interesting thing is luke blows it up with a landmine that just happes to be in his snowspeeder.

In fact Wedge Antilies took out the first AT-AT becuase Luke's gunner got shot on one of the passes. But Luke came up with the tactic. I hope I got this correct I haven't watched ep 5 for 2 months. So correct me if i'm wrong.

Battledroid from Republic Commando

Look a bit odd don't they?

[Keshire]

Man they really skimped on the poly's to fit all these people on-screen didn't they?

[jdtech]

I'm not too bothered about that, it's the playability I'm interested in. Good graphics are nice but to have the big battles run on relativley low-spec machines they need to cut-down on graphics.

I expect my machine will be middle of the road performance wise, although I'm not sure. I have Athlon XP 1900+, 512Mb DDR RAM, 64Mb GeForce 4 Ti 4200 and SoundBlaster Live 5.1 Audio.

Cheers,

[Alesh]

And there i thought battledroids were protected from rust... seems i was wrong.

[jdtech]

It certainly doesn't look like the Battle Droids we're used to.

Cheers,
John

[sais]

These aren t the droids you re looking for. Move along !
:p

[jdtech]

Lol :) Fortunately they've left the Droidekas alone, s'far as I can see anyhow.

Cheers,

Battlefront is aiming for playability over anything else. Their working the game to have the smoothest net code you could possibly ask for in an online game.
Sure its one thing when a game looks great, but lets take a look at the player models. Simple, Effective and you can tell them apart. Thats all you need. now lets look at the locations. O_O amazing. I'd rather have a game character that looks like crap in a game that plays super smooth. than some choppy p.o.s model that has more polys than it needs. In Bf1942 I dont think i've ever stoped to admire how a character looks, and go wow thats high quality modeling, I'm to busy tryin to not get shot. same thing is gonna apply for battlefront, your gonna be to busy playing to pay attention to the charcters, I think they more than make up for the low poly appearance models with the locations Their huge and filled with eye candy thats all you could ask for. As for the Jedi Factor from what I remember reading Jedi will make appearances depending on certain factors such as which team controls which location, which team has which planet and so on, the same thing is in effect for the deathstar. You can't get the Deathstar unless the empire controls Endor. The other cool factor is the various NPCS in the game, The Tuskens, Ewoks, and Geonosians.
They can help, or hinder your progress in the game.
All in all, this could be in the running for game of the year. Its got all the elements to make it a great game and for those of you that pay attention know, As of late LucaArts has had some pretty crap starwars games come out the past few years.

I totally agree with the graphics part of this , If there are bad graphics , i get used to them and i see them as normal graphics , and i have an old G-force 2 graphics card so reasonably good graphics are what my computer runs.

[Dacks Zero]

Do remember that pic is from Republic Commando and not from Battlefront.
RC focuses on looks and tactical actionsm while BFront focuses on all out warfare.

Personally, I think the Battledroid fits with the dark look of the game. Goes nicely with the design and sudden assaults of SBD's.

[Cyberrblob]

I'd rather have a game character that looks like crap in a game that plays super smooth. than some choppy p.o.s model that has more polys than it needs.

I fully agree, I beleive the last year or two game devs have neglected the gameplay and devoted to much to the graphics.
I love graphics but thats all useless if its not backed up by solid gameplay.
battlefield 1942 was great, the graphics where not (its the scale of it that was jaw dropping), but the gameplay was revolutionary imo.

I eagerly await battlefront.
If you havent seen the new trailer i would check it out asap.

[Alesh]

Would be kind of hypocrital for one who plays Neverwinter Nights not to agree wouldn't it? :P

[pk2100]

I guess I'd look at it this way. If i was playing a FPS game. I'd want it to look really freaking amazing. BUT Battlefront isn't a FPS game, It has elements of a FPS but doesn't confine to the FPS rule of, start a level, find a key, solve a puzzel, beat the boss, win the level. It pits man against man, or bot. in an all out battle where only the best will survive. I dont know how many times i've played a FPS just by hiding and camping on the bot routes. If anyone ever played the original Jedi knight(DF2) they'll know that the game looked awesome, for the time the graphics were amazing but the game did something that hadn't been done before. It used simple player models in complex levels, by todays standards we can't call the levels complex but at that time they were. Its all a matter of balance. Great looking levels with a standard player model suits me just fine. I think the models look fine for the type of game play that will be involved.

When Desert combat was released they kept trying to make the game push the game engine limits as such you have great player models with great levels and great vehicles and really really really poor game play. I may get some flak over saying this but DC is terribly over rated for a BF1942 mod. I have it and play it and do enjoy it from time to time but i've played better mods.
Battlefront is using its own engine, their maxamizing game play above all else and their building the game from an already very well established franchise. We all know the vehicles that will be in the game, though we're sure to get some suprises. we know the characters and classes, we know what to expect. As such, the Devs have to look at this and go, they know what to expect so lets take it beyond what they are expecting. Just from the trailers alone i know this game is only touching on a fraction of what its going to be. I dont usually get excited about a video game coming out but this is the mother of all games. It gives you a chance to change the out come of alot of great SW battles. It has the feeling that If you think it can be done, then it can.

I think Republic Commando will be a good game to, I can't say great yet cause with FPS games u almost have to play them to form any kind of an oppinion. From what i've read its got an interesting story line and who wonldn't want to play as a clone trooper/commando just once. The game looks good, and has some great graphics, Not as good as some i've seen but their up there. The only problem i have with RC is that its going to be released to close to battlefront. Its sad to say RC very well could be a great game but with it being over shadowed by battlefront its going to fall into the underdog pile really quickly.

[The_lizard]

want to play as a clone trooper/commando just once

I think its just a standard republic trooper / commando , not a clone , but please correct me if im wrong

[pk2100]

All the republic commandos were clones, Once the empire takes over the clones aren't used anymore or at least thats my understanding.
I also believe that the commandos were a seperate division from the rest of the clones much like the arc troopers.

"ARC troopers were used for only the most dangerous missions that require a substantial amount of independent thought. Though these troopers undergo growth acceleration like the standard clones, their docility and independence has not been at all altered. "

Spcialty units such as the Arc troopers, Evac Pilots, and clone SCUBA troopers were trained to specific jobs. Some deployed on a regular basis on the battlefield others were kept more secret.

Republic Commandos were genetically modified to hand the stress and agression of unorthodox combat tactics. Trained to be more ruthless, independant and fierce they are a completly different breed of soldier.

Regular Army, Over 1 million clones were created as an intensely loyal, single minded infantry.

[Azymn]

Well. the Empire still used clones - that's what all the Stormtroopers are.

But the variations for specific missions were cool - I especially liked the ARC Troopers as they were portrayed in the Clone Wars cartoons.

I think Republic Commando and Battlefront will each have a unique playing experience to offer. That wookiee in RC looks AWESOME though.

The clones arent stormtroopers..

[Darth Bamse]

The clones arent stormtroopers..

I would say some of the earlier stormtroopers were clones, but of course they were shifted out after hand, because they were getting too old to fight. Most stormtroopers are just normal people that have been brainwashed however.

[Azymn]

Yeah, i take that back - most of them are just people now, I should say they were all clones right when the Empire came to power, which is why the Stormtroopers are all expected to be around the same height (referring to Leia's comment in Ep 4).

But that's beside the point - the games both look good. =]
RC will of course have better graphics b/c one is dealing with much smaller environments with a controlled # of characters on screen at once. But the effects they're using to make BF look better than other massive FPSs is cool.
I think they're different enough not to compete with one another gameplaywise, and that people can own both enjoy a different experience with each game.

[=Profcorron=]

Personally they bost are different games kinds. I'll get battlefront (becuase playing online is cool) unless RC comes out on Gamecube with 4 player capability. But I'll still pop in on the movie battles server becuase IT ROCKS !!!!!!!!!!! x9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 999 x 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 999999999999999 x 99999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 999999999999999 and so on.

[sodak1]

That droid looks like it just sucked the organs out of Jar Jar for christsakes. :p

If it supposed to 'add to the feel' then they obviously haven't finished with the Droidekas or Super Battle Droids, they, s'far as I can see, appear normal. :)

Cheers,

P.S. My 100th Post :D

[Keshire]

I didn't mean to spark a graphics vs game design debate. But As I see it, it was a neccessary thing in order to fit many people on screen at once. Because as everyone knows the more poly's a model has the more it'll lag the game itself. The same could "possibly" be done with JKA/O if you dropped the poly's of all the models. But that wasn't done because Single player si the main focus of these games.

[ACiDuS]

Games of this scale should really use low poly ranged models and high poly close-ups rather than one low poly for all ranges. Lucasarts dont tend to put that kind of effort in though, so I guess that would be why they didnt bother.

Gameplay is great. Graphics are nice. Theres no reason why a game can't have both.

[jdtech]

Mind you, s'far as I know it is being made by Pandemenic Studios? Well the game engine at least.

Cheers,
John

[The_lizard]

Thats the game engine , i think the game is being made by Lucas Arts

[Azymn]

It's true that i'd prefer smooth gameplay over gaudy graphics, but in this day and age it should no longer be a choice. We have the hardware and software capability, so games should both play smoothly and look great. Otherwise, they'll just fall to the back of the line to make way for the titles that do achieve both.

[Alesh]

We'll have to clone the guys making Black and White II if half of what they say is true...

[pk2100]

As it was already said, in this day and age we shouldn't have to give up smooth gameplay to get good graphics or vise versa but when it comes to the online end of it some games have a much better net code allowing smoother online play reguardless of the model or game quality. I have no idea why this is, I'm not a programer all i can say is that they better be right when they say Battlefront is going to have an excellent netcode cause i really dont want to be lagging while driving a atat, of course theres nothing worse either than being shot and suffering lag and ending up dead b4 you have a chance to even shoot back. The one thing i do look forward to is the mod support. Thats really going to make this game great, even greater than it already is.

Bull****. There is no such thing as the best graphic card. They all specialize in different areas, so a card that rocks with one game could run like syrup with another.

I know one of the radeon graphics cards is ment for Half Life 2 , but surely it would just be all around good?

I'm not an expert in the area, but Nvidia and Radeon use different technologies in their cards, so they are both good, but at different tasks.

any news on this game is gold dust to me!

Slightly faster than new nvidia.
Has normal map compression <-- sweet
Still uses pixel shaders 2.0 <-- not so sweet

The new nvidia

Twice as fast as the last ati, but not quite as fast as the new one.
Has 16 pipelines <-- sweet
Uses shaders 3.0 <-- sweet

BATTLEFRONT ALL THE WAY, I WANT IT MORE THAN I WANTED STARWARS GALAXIES WHEN I FOUND OUT ABOUT IT, BATTLEFRONT WILL PROBABLY BE tHE BEST STARWARS GAME EVER(just like the page predicts) AND I WANT IT MORE THAN ALL THE OTHER FALL GAMES(Fable, Battlefront, GTA San Andreas{i think} and another..)

All I can say is WOW! cant wait

Unfortunately concept art doesn't show much of what the game will actually be like. Look at some of McQuarries concept for StarWars films - theres loads that never even made it in.

[The_lizard]

Im gonna kick ass at that game, lots of it.

People actually bother to pay for a MMORPG which is has a monthly fee?
(and i find them getting really boring really fast) but i guess other people feel different about them, oh well.

and dude stop boasting

[Dingo Dave]

May i ask which mmorpg you are talking of... Battlefront is not a MMORPG - it is a single with well thought out internet play. If you were not talking about that then you were off topic - GET BACK IN!!!

[Cyberrblob]

most concept art for games i see in them tbh

[Dingo Dave]

Ok, looking at that picture it is a TF Dropship. Nothing terribly concept about it as they were designed 4 or 5 years ago for TPM. Its reminiscent of many of the concepts you see showing character pose or general environment but doesn't actually show in game footage. Therefore you can't use it to say how good a game is. With actual screenshots it is different.

Im gonna kick ass at that game, lots of it.

Ah yes , this is why i mentioned star wars galaxies , see the second line of the quote , thats why i asked if people bother to pay the monthly fees for a game which gets really boring really fast (i think that from past experience from MMORPGs because they mostly have monthly fees AND they get boring fast) and enough complaining about MMORPGs for me! im off topic

One of the most terrible games of our time, star wars galaxies is.

/agree .

This is all MMORPGs

[Dingo Dave]

It lags terribly in towns and the worlds are so massive it takes hours to walk between towns.

Is it, also, like some free MMORPGs where you don't see anyone else for ages?

Cheers,

the worlds are so massive it takes hours to walk between towns.

And most of those areas are completely randomly generated... and therefore about as interesting as staring at a blank canvas.

World of Warcraft all the way baby!

I'm gonna have to go with Battlefront. I've always liked the original trilogy better anyways, and I tend to get more out of my multiplayer games than single player ones. I'd get both, but Republic Commando looks like a game where I'd play it once through and never touch it again, and even if I have fun with it that one time through I still wouldn't feel it worth my $50.

Battlefront here. It has had more of my focus, although I admit I have not looked into RC much.
