Hee hee.

"It’s unbelievable," a source told us today after seeing screens from Rogue Squadron 2 on Gamecube. "It gave me goosebumps. There are going to be three playable levels at E3. Honestly, it makes Star Fighter [Activision’s PlayStation 2 title] look like a joke. You look at it and say immediately, ‘That is Star Wars’." Talk is surfacing of advanced AI, the ability to control wing-men from your X-Wing, sections where the player takes on the role of monstrously famous anti-hero Darth Vader, a plot focused on two Death Stars and graphical detail as yet unseen in a Star Wars game. The Force, to paraphrase Mr Guinness, is certainly with Nintendo.

I would talk about this, but I'm off to claim my gameaday prize.

Plot over two Death Stars? The WHOLE of the trilogy?!

:D

What they really need is the possibility of scenarios being played out online.
1 team uses X wings, the others tie fighters.
4 player split screen too.
I'll be claiming Smash Brothers 2 for my Gameaday win (That is if it really does exist).

The original was one of the greatest multiplayer games ever.

I have a feeling that this will be the best Star Wars game ever, even at this early stage - Anything based on the original trilogy is going to be a classic and I remember the demo of this game last year leaving me gob smacked!!
I shall wait with great interest for this title!!

It'll be the best one for another 5 years or so...

Whatever happened to the good old fashioned Dum? Or Bum, which had the odd problem with people's immaturity...

Rogue Squadron 2 eh? Well I didn't like Rogue Squadron 1 but then X-Wing, Tie Fighter and X-Wing Versus Tie Fighter were great so I guess I'll at least look into it...

When is the Gamecube out now anyway?

Ahh, of course since Freespace2 totally defeated all opposition in the Space Combat Sim arena it is yet to be removed as reigning champion, maybe a Star Wars game is the one to do it (although the name has recently been Besmirched by evil games being rubbish and using it, mostly ones based on episode one... "Yousa havin da booma").

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
Brilliant service.
Love it, love it, love it!
