WRONG.

We had that game, until Sony ruined it. It was called Star Wars Galaxies.



Luckily, the players decided to take the abandonware and remake the game themselves.

i always just assumed Star Wars Kinect would suck, given that I don't like Star Wars that much. But it wasn't until now that I saw the videos from that dancing game.

Everybody involved in that deserves very bad things to happen to them.

They did a survival horror type game with dinosaurs called Trespass. It was pretty ambitious. A first person game with limited weapons and ammo. A physics engine so you could stack objects to get past areas or throw objects at things to knock them off high areas you couldn't reach. There were breakable objects. The dinosaurs were all 3d modeled and had their own personalities and needs (food, rest, etc). There was kind of an ecosystem so you'd be wandering around and find a t-rex attacking another dinosaurs.

And it got pretty intense because if you only had a 2x4 and a raptor was coming at you, you were screwed. You had to get creative. I remember walking across a monorail track while a raptor followed me from down below. Not sure how I'd get away. I was dropping bricks and crates on its head (no inventory system also, what was in your hand was in your hand) I hit a broken part of the track and a huge concrete platform started rocking back and forth with me on it. It fell and when I landed I started running like hell. Turned around and was surprised to see the platform had landed right on the dinosaurs head.

If a t-rex was around forget it. You were powerless.

Had some major faults though. Lots of glitches with the physics engine. You only had one arm. To check your health you had to look down at a boob tat of a heart on your character's cleavage.

oh and it was a Jurassic Park product so it took place on one of the islands. Similar to the setting for JP2.

I would actually start playing video games if that wizard game were a real thing.

I like the Kinect-Motion Capture idea. Of course, the first mod would be a fapping gesture spell.

Agreed that SWG was an awesome game (SWGEmu is still live: Link), but in my opinion, the game most closely resembling what was described was 2003's Freelancer

wow. I effed up the html in that horribly. fitting it should be a fark post.

Han Solo, the game:



/Desperately needs a remake

Nice to see ETERNAL DARKNESS get a mention.

Practical_Draconian: mactobain: Beerguy: WRONG.


Freelancer deserves a sequel, especially since it didn't really delve into the interesting backstory or culture of the colonies (American, Japanese, German, British and Hispanic exiles from earth).


I completely agree with you. I know some 'flight sim' type gamers didn't think the flight controls were advanced enough, but I thought it was a great game..still do. The fact that Lancer's Reactor type mod sites are out there 9 years after the game was released is a good indication how awesome the vanilla game was.

Some of the projects based on Vega Strike might be relevant to your interests (Privateer Remake, Gemini Gold, Parallel Universe).

Vega strike is fun but both VS and Free Lancer are at least 7+ years old. Surprised Microsoft has not done something with the Freelancer/Starlancer IP. At least create an Xbox game or something. Freelancer had the better story line, Privateer had the better open game play

ArcadianRefugee: Only SW game worth playing.

/well, and the other two

Dark Forces, Shadows of the Empire and Knights of the Old Republic disagree.

OK, something I don't understand... they have a client, but it's command-line only? WTF? I thought the client would be a 3-D view of your world and characters. I haven't used a text interface for an online game since Trade Wars 2000 back in the BBS days (late 80s)

That was your Han Solo in space game right there. Had so much fun shooting cargo ships apart and then stealing their cargo. Also using the tractor beam I upgraded my ship with to suck in the surviving passengers and then sell them into slavery.

I'd like to see an MMO where you only get one life, and where the consequences of your actions are permanent to your storyline. Get killed and that's it, you're dead. Sure you can still play, but you're playing as an entirely new character. Fail a mission and you're going to have to live with the consequences of that failure because you can't just keep doing it over and over again until you finally succeed.

You know, while there are some stinkers, there are a lot of great games in the Star Wars Universe. I think X-Wing vs. Tie-Fighter and KOTOR are my favorites.
