I got excited about that lol. E3 exclusive. Too bad they aren't announcing OUR game, haha

[Eagle]

Brilliant presantation of the game! Well done!

 

When I saw that they were talking about Battlefield I first thought they will start to talk about the Battlefield-Mod "Galactic Conquest". But instead they were showing than its rip-off "Battlefront".

Maybe somebody at GT could put a "bug" in LucasArts ear and get a Rebellion II idea floating?

Nice cut

[Jahled]

Utterly amazing stuff! Woo dude

 

I just spent £2500 on a mac today, and fearing a sad departure from a rather old game I have always loved, was amazed as my IT man set up a virtual Windows XP environment for me to play my Star Wars games on

 

When me and my credit card are sober from such expenditure (good god, Macs cost bucks), I will try and engage again; I got nine years out of my PC, NINE YEARS! And it still works, just a bit slow

 

The beast I am now on is on lightspeed

Is it an iMac? I'm on one of those right now. The thing is seriously growing on me.

I'm opposed to those Macs primarily because of the new LCDs they're using, which have a high gloss finish (if you've ever used a laptop with a high gloss screen you'll know how annoying it is, if you haven't they look cool and glossy for about a day and then as soon as you start having dark areas on the screen all you get is a reflection of the real world. Can't watch movies, can't play games, can't do graphic work. Glossy screens have to be one of the stupidest fads of recent computers - PC and Mac) and the smaller model, which is a 20" or 24", only shows 6bit colour and not the quoted 8bit.

Some people were suing Apple over this a while ago, false advertising and the such, I wonder how that went? Knowing Apple it was either settled out of court or they were bullied out of the law suite. I can't help but get more and more annoyed at Apple, they make decent products (OK, well the design things well - how they make them is another thing as many iPod gone another brand MP3 player will tell you, or someone who's dropped an iPhone), but they have become real pricks. Websites, or people, who speak out against Apple get shot down. I remember when AppleInsider was forced to take down news articles about Macs because Apple didn't like the PR. They closed an entire site because they were sick of the bad press - and these are sites that report soley on Macs, the good and bad - threatened with law suits that people can't afford. Hell, how many people heard about Apple using slave labour and when they were caught raising the pay of said people to just above the slave labour mark.

Sorry for the extended, anti-apple rant at the end there, I'm just getting sick and tired of this sort of political, don't tell the truth, act all nice up front and be a prick in real life bull crap and Apple play the part too well - maybe they should run for some political position?

 

Umm, as for the topic? Yeah, cool vid - I'm watching all 5 now, they're actually quiet nice to watch. Games from memory lane, and others I've never seen or heard of. I liked the look of those Arcade flight sims, especially the one where you can light saber fight. Oh, and the pod racer arcade thing was cool too! It made me actually want to watch Ep1 for something

I used to sort of understand this sort of argument, but don't anymore. This machine has simply mental speeds, and to be quite honest, every Mac user i've come across since buying it yesterday as more or less shrugged when i've expressed any concern about all the shit being bombarded at PCs, except my IT manager who after a long pause said he would bring some stuff in tomorrow casually, and picked up the phone to take a call

 

Despite arming myself to the teeth with protection on a PC, still these little annoyances slip through I can't be arsed to be living with in all honestly. An extra grand rid of that crap is fine by me. I finally understand those who mock Microsoft products; and from me without the slightest bit of anti-globalization crap to boot, this simply seems better.

 

Did I say it looks nicer?

Heh. Well, I do Q.A. Testing at the Electronic Arts building in Fairfax (Virginia). Bioware did just become an EA Affiliate, so maybe I can find a way to get my manager to mention something to them and have Bioware mention something to Obsidian (Knights of the Old Repubic) who could then mention something to LucasArts who could then mention something to Lucas himself

 

I'm only kidding, of course. Besides the fact that it probably wouldn't work... We only work with MMORPGs sadly, and I don't think my boss would appreciate that sort of favor
