Just noticed this at lucasarts.com - http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swrepubliccommando/

Game details are good.

I guess it looks cool. But the weapons and the action, from what I see, doesn't look wonderfully good. Then again, I could be wrong...

It looks like a cartoon.
A desperate disease requires a dangerous remedy.

A major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.

I think I've finally given up on any new Star Wars games.

Hmmm, I'm not getting the 'Star Wars feel' very much from those screenies. They remind me of Halo more than Star Wars. I'm thinking it's the armor and the dark lighting. Stormtrooper and Clonetrooper armor tends to be smooth, and that Commando armor looks fairly angular. The lighting in Star Wars is hardly ever shadowy, but it seems that this whole game will be in low-light situations.

I do like how your view is from inside the helmet though--very cool. I think this game could do well if they would 'Star Wars' it up a bit--like using Aurabesh in your HUD as seen in the trailer.

I dare say unless it has some sort of epic ground battle, It's going to suck.

Interesting, they had an entirely different set of concept art loaded at the LucasArts site this morning; stuff like Clonetroopers jumping out of Republic Gunships and such. Anywho, there are a bunch of screenshots over at Gamespot that are pretty sweet; I like this one right here the most. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

"Anywho"? Nice. I'm not sure if I'm gonna run out to buy this game, despite my love of squad-based games....
