Mad78 Posted May 30, 2004 Author Share Posted May 30, 2004 That is a good idea. But don't forget one thing. It's just the point that we would have to radically change a game so that it would look like star wars.But I think the hole point is that the first Rebellion had very little sucess. I mean it isn't a game that everybody remembers a one of lucasarts best games (even if it is ).What we would have to do is to take a look at what was good in Reb and what was less (I must say that would be hard for me since I am a hardcore fan but there are still a few things that I don't like as much) and then try to find a way to correct the errors (tactical interface a bit poor which makes strategies hard to put together) and also ad a few innovations (imagine if there were different races (ssi-ruuk, yuuzhan vong, rebels, imperials, chiss, hapan consortium,...)) things like that could ad lots of depth to the game and make it more interesting to play since you would have to fight on different fronts at the same time and with that, imagine 6 players playing at the same time trying to eliminate one another.

And with that we should'nt present the plan to lucasarts since they don't accept many suggestions but to producers (Coolhand) which would surely be more interested. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimiauredhel Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Look, it's simple: We can put Crazy Hungarian Ninja and Insane British Scouttrooper on an abduction mission to Skywalker Ranch.It may be useful to let Masked German Jedi and US American Dark Jedi disable the defenses first though.Then, Weird British Emperor and a Brilliant Costa Rican Warmaster could lead a ground assault on the entire "San-Rafael" system... The "persuasion" part could be left to Dweeby Dutch Swissknife...Astromech, Texan Bounty Hunter, Texan Golden Bikini Girl,and Rumanian Mangaltrooper-Cleric . Sorry for wasting your time and space...

ElvisMiggell Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 Ok, maybe a radical departure from the original idea ( and maybe blasphemy, but...  Does it really have to be a Star Wars game to begin with? Couldn't we just ripp off the best features of the game and the trilogie, and create a new universe? The basic concept would be the same, two parties engaged in a bloody civil war set in a far, far galaxy with good facing evil in a titanic battle for control.  By circumventing the sw-concept we would have way more options in terms of finding a developer, and Lucas Arts' apathy towards Rebellion could then suddenly work in our favour. Also the game would have a broader appeal because it's sci-fi and not star wars. AND.... we could always SW-mod it later, right?  Unfortunately i'm prepared to bet hard cash that LucasArts own the concept too. So a game in even vaguely the same style would have to pay money to them. Copyright my frfiends. Elvismiggell.

Gleem Posted May 30, 2004 Share Posted May 30, 2004 For how long? Forever? I am a patient man... and people, like the people at LucasArts are forgetful. Â I bet they have already forgotten about Rebellion completely and if you modernize the game in such a way, without removing the most important elements, they would probably never recognize it and have a hard time proving we stole it. Â The courtcase would be great publicity, by the way.. "When you take water and pour it into a cup, it BECOMES the cup. When you put the water in a bowl it becomes the bowl.

Bill Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Gleem, I've been trying to get Lucasarts to make Rebellion 2 probably before you were born, its not going to happen. The force is strong in my family. No, Luke, I am your father. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gleem Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 You mean Rebellion first appeared on the Atari 2600???!!  So 'pops', what did you try before then? I am just trying to have a positive attitude and maybe we cannot get LucasArts to make Rebellion2, but maybe we can make one ourselves. It's been done before with other games (like Hero's Quest) and there are enough enthusiastic people here to do it with PLUS with thousands of people serving this forum who really needs Lucasarts to make a great Sci-Fi game based on a Starwars-like setting? We just make it ourselves.. "When you take water and pour it into a cup, it BECOMES the cup. When you put the water in a bowl it becomes the bowl.

Cain Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 The little economy lesson higher up gave me an idea:I know that on many sites such as msn offer a free advertising service. We could go on these sites and put something likeSTAR WARS REBELLION II 3D RTS. WILL YOU BE CAPABLE OF CRUSHING THE REBEL ALLIANCE OR CAN YOU FREE THE GALAXY? UP TO YOU TO DECIDE! to get info email your questions on http://www.lucasarts.comThat is marketing. it won't be us who will convince lucasarts but the other people. Â Â Â I've kind of favor this ideea Maybe multiple "attacks" will get their attention ......let's be diplomatic and incognito .....and strt rumors on the sites ....Finaly they will start to ask them self : "- Do we makeing this game ?!

Mad78 Posted May 31, 2004 Author Share Posted May 31, 2004 The hole point of my idea was that it would:-be free (VERY IMPORTANT)-if other people send the mails they couldn't be traced to this site -finally rumors could help convince lucasarts to make a sequel PSIf you which I can already put a such publicity on a very popular french computer game site(I believe it is free ) http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Palpycard.gifhttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a359/Mad78/Spamkinguserbarcopy.jpgCLICK HERE IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!!Click here is you like Trance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimiauredhel Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Many games were made that way.Just search for keywords "Classical remake, fan-made, open-source,freeware".You should find some. Sorry for wasting your time and space... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texas_Fett Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I'm not sure that producing a game with people who are in different places in the world. It can be done. One of my Computer Gaming magazines did a story on the producers behind successful mods of different games. The production was massive, and most had 5-10 people in the development scattered across different continents. It can work, but it takes a lot of time and dedication.

Gleem Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 I could give ya $10 bucks. YEAAAH!! Enough to go to the chamber of commerce..  ......except ...ehem... which one?  I think it can be done too.. If you are upto it, I'm in. Let's start talking about the basic concept for the game. How about opening a different thread for that? I think having people from different parts of the world could be an advantage, especially if you want to launch a product with worldwide appeal. You need to form a team of people willing to go and do it. I think they can be recruited on this forum and it's better then just talking about it.  For instance, I am a good writer. I don't know much about programming but I do know a lot about advertising, public relations and media. Also I have played hundreds of different games in my life and I have the time to commit to a project such as this. Now all we need are other people with the same desire, willing to free up time, who could contribute in some way. "When you take water and pour it into a cup, it BECOMES the cup.
