EJM Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Mon Montha, Mon Calamari, new screens, Planets, and more, but most of the new info are pictures... Also, we see X-Wings parked in a planet's surface, so they can be inside a planet in EaW??, or maybe it's just a mission EaW is coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryant_pff Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 lots of updates, and i mean alot, wonder if they are releasing info for the demo Empire At War: NexusYour One Site for All your EaW modding needs!http://eawnexus.gamingsource.net/bannersandbuttons/nexussig.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirNuke Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 A lot of those updates seemed like they were rushed out (a-wing video, mon calamari crusier, and x-wing videos barely showed them in action). Plus no pictures of the battlefields for the new planets? Did anyone else notice the "you cause" on one of the building discriptions?A clear sign of programmers put the akward position of having to write something that will be seen by the public. Anyway, I think this points toward the release of the demo fairly soon. Zing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostly_Substance Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Hope the demo releases this weekend Nice new screenshots and videos and well at least we got an update which is better then nothing Seriously though at least you got more media to look at Well I saw that the X-Wings are landed on the ground so that means the Tie Fighters will do the same? Only the bombers will come down through the atmosphere? -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garbageben Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Nice videos, although there was not much action. I could not help but notice that the Venator has not made its way back onto the list of space units. Since it was not one of the videos released that raises my level of concern as to whether it will actually make its way into the final release of the game. http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/sh/type/0/garbageben.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostly_Substance Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 They might of forgotten to put it back or lost the media for it? -One Empire falls another riseshttp://myanimelist.net/signature/EuroSubstance.png http://miniprofile.xfire.com/bg/os/type/2/ghostlysubstance.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevets Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 I still say, they are holding it for a late "surprise". But anyone notice, Yavin IV doesn't look anything like it was in the movies, looks more like endor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rifts Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 First off, hello. New here, but been looking forward to the game for...um...when was it announced? Then. Second, minimum system specs have been posted. http://forums.lucasarts.com/thread.jspa?threadID=96523&tstart=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevets Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Graphics Card: 32 MB graphics card with Hardware Transform and Lighting (T&L) capability Damn, is that the shading thing you need higher than a Geforce 4? if so I wont be able to play this game Edit: nevermind, did a quick search and according to it almost all graphics cards should have it, I should be good to go!

Rifts Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Thanks for checking that. It too was the one thing I outright didn't know if I had. Looks like my laptop should run this just fine, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom_pff Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 dude there is another planet added, i just don't know which one tho, give me a minuet or two and i'll tell you. Edit: Endor is the 44th planet, funny i thought it was alredy on the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OMEGA Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 These videos do look a little rushed. Maybe they could be busy working a something a little bigger.... like the DEMO !!! Im worried about Yavin IV... it doesn't look... jungle-ish enough. It does look a lot like Endor as someone suggested though. And I believe the X-Wings taking off from the ground could have been from the mission where you steal the prototypes. That's probobly why it says you're victorious as soon as they take off.

Zer_Teron Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 But it would be cool if you could keep fighters on a planet. Enemy does an espionage of one of you most important planets, see no fleets or defence guns. Moves in and is blown apart by 200 squadrons of TIE Fighters and 100 Squadrons of TIE Bombers http://img20.imageshack.us/img20/3488/zersigef1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to highjack this thread. The GeForce 4 doesn't work with DirectX 9. The first geforce card to work is the 5200, I believe. Looking at newegg, they seem to be about $40 for a 5200fx 128mb card (if you are willing to spend a bit more, newegg also has a considerably better 5500fx 256mb eVGA card for $50. I have a 128mb version of that on my sister's computer, and I can vouch that it packs a punch, particularly for its price). I am not quite sure why they mentioned T&L, as I am 99% sure there are no Dx9 cards without T&L. Back to topic, even if you could keep fighters on a planet, could you keep enough to make it worth while? Zing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinite_Xero Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 the GeForce 6600GT 128mb or 256mb are the best bang for your buck cards, with the release of the new 512 cards the prices should be dropping off a bit more too. As a 6600GT owner, i can say i am extremely happy with its performance, never had any problems, can run everything out today in High (some memory related things on medium, i've only got the 128mb)If you are gonna upgrade for EAW, a geforce 6 would be the way to go, all the DX9 support with pixel and vertex shaders 2.0+ As for fighters on a planet, of bloody course you should be able to keep alot there!what if the battle of britain had been fought using carrier based planes only? when you have hundreds of square kilometers to make airfeilds. Fighters on standby on the surface should be a seperate unit limitfor example: 20 squads/platoons/wings on:on Planet: Ground - 20Air/Space 20Orbit: capital ships (with fighters) 20stations (with fighters) 20 that make sense to anybody else?Or is there no limit to the number of ships you can have in orbit or to the number of troops you can have on the ground?

Wiking_pff Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Wondering if you should purchase the best Star Wars RTS ever? Well, why not download the demo, free. Play as either the Empire or Rebel Alliance in a single player skirmish map or, jump to hyperspace and join hundreds online. Am I correct in assuming that there will be a SP skirmish map, and a MP skirmish map as well? EDIT: that clip with the x-wings taking off, and the sign YOU ARE VICTORIOUS...could that be the mission where you have to steal the X-wings?
