    I still play Republic Commando every now and then on my Original Xbox. Love the game to bits. "Man, this place gives me the creeps." “Ah, Scorch, nothing better than a jungle hunt. Hiding in the bush, putting a plasma bolt through a hostile's cranium... makes me feel alive." “Okay, now 07’s giving me the creeps.”

      There was a remaster in the works by a mod team called Blackout Studios... but yeah, EA issued a "cease and desist" a couple months ago and that was the end of it. It looked incredible (using the Unreal Engine 4), but apparently remastering a 14 year old game is highly detrimental to the Star Wars franchise and EA's failing financials.

      You're right. Back in the day we had so many varieties of SW games, from flight sims to RTS, FPS, MMO, RPG, ect, pretty much every genre under the sun was covered... Nowdays all we have is the mindless battlefront shooter, (which is okay if that's all you want.. ) or a grindy p2w mmo. Or simple mobile games... So...the sw gaming landscape is like a barren wasteland compared to its hayday. It's pretty sad really.

    • @allykayalltheway6631
      @allykayalltheway6631 4 года назад +1

      I'm gonna say it; LucasArts for the most part didn't make quality games which is why they made a large quantity of games. My top 3 favorite star wars games from LucasArts days were RC, BF2, and Lego Complete Saga. Mind you, those are my 3 favorite STAR WARS games from old days. RC was my second favorite game OVERALL. The rest don't even make the list. EA Battlefront 2 started out as a hot mess but after they fixed it it has become my favorite game of all time. Fallen Order also looks pretty good. So EA just needs one more half decent game to make the claim of putting out more quality content than Lucas Arts ever did.

    It's also worth mentioning that Republic Commando became a launching point and inspiration for the evolution of Mandalorian culture in the Star Wars Universe. The novel series would dive more into this subject and other game titles, such as SWKOTOR II: The Sith Lords and SWTOR, would expand upon the topic. SW Clone Wars (2008 - present) and SW Rebels would also dive into the subject, and the upcoming series The Mandalorian, directed by Jon Favreau, will continue the journey.

    So I don't know the first thing about the business side of games, but I've wondered for a while now why Disney gave EA such a massive contract, I really wish they would've gone game by game with multiple studios, ya dice would seem like a good choice to make battle front, (or they did when Disney first bought Star Wars) but could you imagine a sequel to Republic Commando made by the same people behind Rainbow six siege. I know you don't wanna over expand, but they could've hired the best studios out there for many genres like RPGs, mmo said, fps, etc. but unlike with the Lucas arts of old all these games wouldn't have to be handled by one studio. Idk, maybe there's some reason this would be bad, I'm just a fan of Star Wars that sees a lot of potential wasted.
