Re: You know what the saddest part is?....................

The perfect game would be a hybrid of XWA, Battlefront and Galaxies. Large, multiplayer fleet battles with fully explorable ships. FS will almost get there, but is limited by non-variable gravity (i.e only one gravity level across map), only 64 players (you need at least 100, preferably 200), and only 6 seats per vehicle.

Not sure on the 6 seats a vehicle but yes the BF engine definately got it's limitations.

I don't think there is any engine out there that could handle 200 people on a server, and several ships for those 200 people sad

Or does SWG has it?

Re: You know what the saddest part is?....................

It's just disappointing that the company that gave us the (near)perfect Dark Forces and X-Wing franchises went on to give us the Rogue Squadron sequels, Battlefront 2, etc.

The one pattern I notice a lot with LA that I dislike is when they rush a sequel to be out for a certain date. Like, I'm sure that JK:Jedi Academy, Battlefront 2, and definitely KOTOR2 would all have been better if they weren't so rushed. JA feels like an expansion, SWBF2 just has so many problems I can't even begin, and KOTOR2 wasn't finished (yet.....)

Re: You know what the saddest part is?....................

I know a guy who worked for Pandemic (makers of SWBF 1 and 2) . The games were rushed.


KOTOR 1 was a superb game. Rogue Squadren and Jedi Outcast were good games aswell.

SWBF1 was actually quite fun when they eventually fixed the issues.

Lego SW , i dont really class these as games lol.

EAW , Revenge of the Sith , Clone Wars etc etc etc  ..all garbage.

The Episode I-III games have to be the best of them, though. Phanton Menace was half-hearted, Battle for Naboo was half-hearted, the Clone Campaign expansion pack for Galactic Battlegrounds was half-hearted.

Geez.

If I ever get any programing knowelge would spend alot of time making a simple space flyer like xwing vs tie fighter, maybe start with basic 3d graphics but work on a big multiplayer engine and have massive dog fights tongue
