Galactic Battleground 01 May, 2001, 19:34 / 16 comments


LucasArts has announced the first of several upcoming games which will be featured at E3: Star Wars: Galactic Battleground. This game was previously mentioned in LEC's February press release.

Battleground will be a real-time strategy game where the player can take the role of the Empire, Rebel Alliance, Trade Federation, as well as other civilizations, including Wookiees, which everyone knows are just cool.

The game, in collaboration with Ensemble Studios, will be based upon the RTS engine used in Age of Empires.

You can find more information about the game on LEC's E3 page.

    There's nothing wrong with Star Wars, but I don't like that LEC only concentrates on Star Wars games.

    I totally agree with you. and i feel this game doesnt look that bad. i might get it(through a friend). But im a pure adventure gamer.

    Indeed. Age of Empires/Kings are really fun games! Could this be the first genuinely successful, fun Star Wars RTS? If so I'll give it a try! The graphics look like they need some work though :P

    *sigh* Another star wars game. LEC just don't know when to quit.

    I know it's like a sin to say this, but I think the game looks pretty decent.

    Scarey as this may be.. I agree. Ged rid of that 3D garbage... I'm looking forward to this one.

    Ewwww, stop agreeing - it's not healthy.

    I know... I feel so dirty!

    If you point at the broken glass you will see that the next two are revealed in a week's time... (Ugly graphics on this one, BTW! I've seen Civ2 Scenarios with better looking starwars units than this!)

    We all rule for Ice Cream? no honestly. ATTACK of the 50Ft Storm Trooper!

    Hmmm. I bet they'll wait till the 8th to release an adventure game(if they have one).
