The interaction of the three various environmental engines definitely is something that will add to the immersion and sense of scale to the game, however I don't see that being a selling point of the game at all. If scripting, characters, story are all e, if it contains a total of 6hrs of game time, well, what does it even matter if that stormtrooper is flailing wildly when you use a force-push on him... is that all that interests people these days? I don't see this being anything other than another graphics 'innovation'. |
I think that's pretty much what everyone else has said already :p
But yes, +1, etc. |

that would be incredible, but i sorta fear its not possible anymore. nowadays they would need to use graphics un-supported by the average machine, or make the sim basis too difficult for the average gamer. sim type games have really diminished in their general appearance, except the the hard core sim-gamer.
(sure, xwings have never been real)
but that type of game is generally viewed as too involved for a console, and not interesting to PC gamers, which is a shame| |

Food for thought: the videos and early previews show Vader's apprentice involved in activities that may well imply he's the most powerful Jedi ever (bear with me here - I realize that statement is purely speculative). If that is the case, he would probably be the odds on favorite in a Vader/apprentice showdown.
Now, presuming they don't do something utterly absurd, I think this sets itself up beautifully for a classically tragic storyline - something I think is really, and has always been, used too little in the gaming industry.
Just a thought - but I think that would be one unreal piece of fiction right there. |

or the apprentice cuts off vaders hand and that hand asexually grows into a young luke skywalker.

I don't see why. Space sims have a huge advantage graphics wise because there is vitually no environment save for a 2d bitmap for a star background. It's just a bunch of models flying around in empty space. They could probably make something that looks almost real and still have less requirements than most modern games.
The problem is that the industry has changed significantly. Unfortunately somewhere down the road game devellopers figured out that you can manufacture a million bland generic cookie-cutter FPS games and people will buy them so long as the screenshots look good. No one wants to risk reviving a dead genre. |

yeah thats kinda what i was getting at.
although in any starwars game nowadays they would likely incorporate planet based missions just because...
(last night i had a dream of what it might look like, it was cool) |
