Republic Commando is looking gorgeous... like Ninja Gaiden, Riddick, Halo 2 gorgeous. I know Pandemic is doing Battlefront, but who is doing RC? Every reference I have seen points to them doing it in house. Impressive.

 

[cybamerc]

It's done by an internal LucasArts team. Running on the Unreal engine. Looks absolutely dreadful.

 

[Tenguman]

Why is that man covered in diarrhea?

 

[Keio]

Bad art

Seriously though, bumpmapped or not, grey walls and rusted metal floors just fail to impress, even when textured w/ high res maps.

 

[bogg]

Hope the game will turn out good. The e3 trailer looks cool.

 

[Dagless M.D.]

Looks absolutely dreadful.

You're taking it a bit far, the game is not a graphic powerhouse in the same way Riddick, or Doom 3 is, but it is far from looking bad

I played the PC version at the ATI booth at E3. Was smooth as hell. Didn't play the Xbox one though.

Think Ghost Recon meets Star Wars and that's what the game is.

 

[SteveMeister]

Saw the demonstration at E3, and I have to say the game is really impressive. It has a very cool squad control scheme, the banter of the squadron is very well done, the animations and situations were all very compelling. I think it's going to be a very good game.

The art sucks hard in this game IMO, and the Metroid Prime ripoff HUD/Visor is annoying.

Art??? WTF are you talking about? It's the same "art" that is in every Star Wars game...

Here are some screens with different environments, I chose those 5 because they are new.

[Prine]

Looks awesome.

 

[ced]

Looked very promising in motion.

Combat might be good as well, it seemed to borrow alot from Halo. Nice powerful feeling melee blows and grenades with weapon equiped.

 

[Sander]

beautiful gorgeous impressive

Yeaah...I'm gonna have to go ahead and um...disagree with you on that point.[/Lumberg]

 

[Slo]

I think that's supposed to be a wookie.

 

[adrockthekid]

PC version +1.

My dim recollections of the Xbox version are of a fairly choppy framerate. Boo. I don't care if you can fit 500 more polys onto your damned model, it's not worth the framerate hit!

 

[dark10x]

Doesn't look that good in shots, but I was quite suprised upon witnessing it in motion...

It actually does look suprisingly decent.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

Wow...

Relax you Xbox goon. The art does not look exactly like every other starwars game and I don't like it so far. Accept the fact that I am not you and I have a different opinion. First off, that wookie looks dumb, all the storm troopers look weird and bulky. The screens I've seen so far just don't do it for me. Does this mean the game will suck? No. It could turn out to be the best Star Wars game ever. So pull the panties out of your ass and relax.

 

[ge-man]

It doesn't look too bad, but I'm not completely sold on the models. Something seems off in terms of proportions in some of those screens .

On another note--welcome back DCB, what have been up to all this time?

 

[clipunderground]

DaCoco!!!

 

[akascream]

Visor is very Metroid Prime. I love the immersiveness of a realistic HUD like that. :thumbsup

 

[Malakhov]

Looks great.

 

[Mr_Furious]

First off, that wookie looks dumb

Every wookie in the history of video games has looked bad. Pointing it out here is trivial.

Best. Crossover. EVER.

 

[chespace]

if anything, RC is like star wars meets rainbow six 3. control your squad in the same intuitive way. plus, they're pretty smart, for a bunch of clones.

 

[ironichaos]

Ugh...another FPS.

 

[jakershaker]

when will people finally get tired with star wars...it was great like...10 years ago or something...(KOTOR rocks though but it would have done that without the license)...

Most likely never. It has an insane following, just like Star Treck.

Probably about the same time they get tired of the D&D license, the LotR license, the Disney license, the Pepsi license, etc., etc.

 

[jakershaker]

at least the games are getting better i guess

just wished the devs would write new scifi stories instead of rehashing old ones..

Holy shit, First pic of General Grevious' henchmen.
