From ign:

***Sacred Jellybean*** · 4th July 2003, 12:16 PM

Very impressive.

***Great Rumbler*** · 4th July 2003, 1:40 PM

Woah! Rebel Strike looks amazing!

big guy · 4th July 2003, 5:09 PM

i think this officially proves that Gamecube is just as powerful as X-Box and anyone who says that it's the weakest of the 3 systems needs to be shot.

these screens look great.

***A Black Falcon*** · 4th July 2003, 7:17 PM

Yeah, it looks good.

Yeah, it looks better than RS2.

No, it doesn't look much different from previous screenshots.

So why a new thread?

Darunia · 4th July 2003, 9:28 PM

Goddamit, I can't wait any longer for this game...it looks fucking awesome! Every screen shot I see makes me more anxious for it. The Endor level looks fantastic.

They screenshots look awesome, isn't that enough reason for a thread?

OB1 · 5th July 2003, 9:12 AM

No, Mr. Anti-new thread here hates it. Because we have too many new threads, GR! Almost two per month now! Rolleyes

And these new screens do look better than the E3 ones. They fixed a lot of aliasing and texture problems since then.

Darunia · 5th July 2003, 3:05 PM

Yea, those textures are eye-popping; I just hope it looks and runs that smooth on a GC...

OB1 · 5th July 2003, 4:04 PM

According to Factor 5 the game will run smoother than Rogue Leader.

Darunia · 5th July 2003, 6:14 PM

Excellent indeed. Looks like another must-have. Now if only we knew what the levels will be...obviously there'll be ANOTHER Hoth level, and there'll be an Endor ground level...and a Yavin IV level...the whole premis of land-ground missions reminds me of SotE.

***A Black Falcon*** · 13th July 2003, 5:36 PM

Because we already have a perfectly good RS3 thread if you bother to post in that one!

OB1 · 13th July 2003, 5:49 PM

Shut up! We need more threads! Don't make me hunt you down and hit you with a shovel!

***A Black Falcon*** · 13th July 2003, 7:17 PM

You'd never find me.

And we do need more threads, but we need more GOOD threads!

OB1 · 13th July 2003, 7:20 PM

I don't see you contributing any! And who said that they need to be award-winning threads?? Since when did we start having standards here??!!!

***A Black Falcon*** · 13th July 2003, 8:10 PM

Standards... you've got a point there...

OB1 · 13th July 2003, 8:59 PM

You know it.

***A Black Falcon*** · 13th July 2003, 9:16 PM

Yeah, we don't exactly have high standards. But its still dumb to make two threads on exactly the same topic.

OB1 · 14th July 2003, 9:24 AM

Not if the other thread is six pages long and several months old.

***A Black Falcon*** · 14th July 2003, 9:35 AM

Oh well. You could bring it back anyway. :)

OB1 · 14th July 2003, 9:40 AM

Then less people will post there because they'll be like "dude, there is no way I'm gonna read through all of that!".

***A Black Falcon*** · 14th July 2003, 9:59 AM

Yeah, yeah...

***Great Rumbler*** · 14th July 2003, 10:09 AM

Besides, they don't have the same topic. One is about Rogue Squadron 3 and the other is about new images from Rogue Squadron 3. See? Different topics.

OB1 · 14th July 2003, 10:17 AM

Yeah!

***A Black Falcon*** · 14th July 2003, 6:34 PM

Ooh, Rogue Squadron III pictures vs NEW Rogue Squadron III pictures threads! So different!

OB1 · 14th July 2003, 6:35 PM

IGN has some new Hoth videos up and it looks better than ever. I noticed that the walkers leave footprints which looks really cool. A little effect, but cool nonetheless.

alien space marine · 15th July 2003, 9:01 AM

that is some very good shit!

I just preorder Jedi knights of the old republic.

***A Black Falcon*** · 15th July 2003, 9:35 AM

Anyway... yes, this is a must-get game. Factor 5 clearly is the best at console Star Wars games, no question about that...

OB1 · 15th July 2003, 5:32 PM

KOTOR is gonna be better, though. Just wanted to mention that. But that's like comparing a big cruise to a nice walk in the park, so it's not really fair. Or comparing a giant ape to a box full of kittens... because it's like... ah... some...thing....

never mind

***A Black Falcon*** · 15th July 2003, 6:38 PM

Sure KOTOR will be better, but RS3 will be good...

OB1 · 15th July 2003, 7:30 PM

Well of course.

***A Black Falcon*** · 15th July 2003, 7:52 PM

For a simple, mindless shooter RS3 will be great. That is a limited category... but for the category it'll be great. Of course, other, deeper genres are better when done well.

OB1 · 30th July 2003, 12:46 PM

More awesome screens. Looks like you'll be able to experience just about all of the coolest scenes from the OT. Well except for the saber fights, that is.

***A Black Falcon*** · 30th July 2003, 1:24 PM

Wow, does this game look stunning...

I just hope that the ground-based combat is better than the previews say -- they seem to say that its very, very shallow with extreme autoaim and stuff. But Factor 5 should be able to make it a great action game by the time its released... all their games are. :)

Of course, just like RS2, this makes me wish so much that LA would make a sim that looked like this... it'd be SO AWESOME! Easily blowing away a simple action game... for me anyway...

big guy · 30th July 2003, 5:25 PM

i want to print out the screens of endor and rub then on my groin...but i'm too lazy...:(

***Dark Jaguar*** · 30th July 2003, 5:46 PM

You know, I always wanted to know something about those sand worms. A new definition of pain and suffering as you are digested over 1000 years? Doesn't the Hutt know his alien biology? I mean, I don't know about his species, who look like they have the fat to spare to survive that long, but we humans aren't going to be alive for more than 7 days at the most in there, and with such an amazingly slow digestion rate, I imagine the pain wouldn't really be all that great over that small period of time. What, does the creature purposefully keep it's prey alive LONGER than their normal lifespan for some odd reason?

***A Black Falcon*** · 30th July 2003, 7:12 PM

Read Tales of the Bounty Hunters. Its got a ... nice ... story about it in there...

Oh, and you ARE kept alive for 1000 years, as it very slowly digests you. That is the way it works.

***Dark Jaguar*** · 30th July 2003, 7:15 PM

How does it keep you alive that long? Does it freeze you, or somehow genetically alter you to live that long? Does it feed you the whole time? If so, why doesn't it just eat whatever it's feeding you with.

***A Black Falcon*** · 30th July 2003, 7:35 PM

Uhh... hey, is been years since I read that book... but its the story about how Boba Fett escapes the Sarlaac. :)

Darunia · 30th July 2003, 9:13 PM

LOL, DJ, you actually REALLY do have a very good point...and I've never thought of it. What if, by whatever means the Sarlaac keeps you alive for the 10,000 years, we could harness that, and isolate...and then all live indefinitely thanks to the sarlaac? That'd be awesome.

***A Black Falcon*** · 30th July 2003, 9:27 PM

But it keeps you suspended there in horrible pain surrounded by its membrane or something and it slooooowly decays your body... not pleasant...

Nintendarse · 31st July 2003, 2:44 AM

Freud would have something to say about that sarlaac pit...

Seriously, Rebel Strike is looking amazing. That vegetation generator for the Endor level is...WOW.

But F5 has always been a fantastic technical developer. What will really make this a must-buy (for me) is if the gameplay is as polished and remarkable as the graphics.

Darunia · 31st July 2003, 7:40 PM

DONT CHANGE THE TOPIC (but yes, that vegetation is eye-popping; the best I've ever seen in a game... console OR PC)

Well why would it suspend you and keep you alive just to make you feel pain; very unrealistic. Is it like a snake, where it only seldom eats and then is good for a long time...?

***A Black Falcon*** · 31st July 2003, 9:51 PM

I don't know... there was something in that story about the Sarlaac sort of absorbing the person and changing their mind so they kind of become part of the Sarlaac... there was this one 'person' in the Sarlaac who had been there a REALLY long time and had almost nothing of them left but the Sarlaac was keeping them alive (they weren't trying to escape or anything... I don't remember, but the Sarlaac messes with their minds...

Boba Fett of course escaped before it could start disabling him more completely. :)

***Sacred Jellybean*** · 1st August 2003, 3:58 AM

I usually don't buy these Star Wars type games, but this game, I'm definately getting ASAP. It looks awesome. When is it projected to be released?

OB1 · 1st August 2003, 9:24 AM

October something.

Darunia · 1st August 2003, 11:04 AM

I'm already bouncing off of the walls. I wonder how linear the story will be...Tatooine, Hoth and Endor, seems to pretty well span the original trilogy.

OB1 · 1st August 2003, 11:23 AM

Tatooine, Hoth, Endor, Cloud City, Geonosis, and a whole bunch of other planets.

***A Black Falcon*** · 1st August 2003, 11:45 AM

The Lucasarts game I'm most looking forward to is of course KOTOR for PC. Second would be Totally Games' WWII flight sim... it looks quite fun, since its not a hard sim. :) Third is RS3.

OB1 · 1st August 2003, 12:59 PM

Have you seen any of the Armed and Dangerous trailers? The game looks really good.
