Rogue Squadron 3 media - GC flex its muscles

[BuggyLoop]

For gamecube, only, before someone asks

And no, RS3 will be nothing like RS2, in fact, RS2 is a multiplayer bonus in RS3 now.. RS3 will be about playing famous movie scenes, be it on ground, beats, speed bikes, x-wings or on foot. You'll have 2 campaigns to play on, Wedge which will be focused on flight and Luke Skywalker which will be focused on ground.

Anyway, enough chit-chat, see for yourself

(all real-time btw)














Here, compare RS3's (^^^^) bespin shot with the RS2's bespin level (vvvv)




And i have to remind you that the RS3 shot of bespin is a 2 player split screen (the shot was cropped), so its rendering the scene twice, while in RS2 it was only once.. Its very complex technically, rendering the geometry of a scene that complex twice is very hard on the console.

And here's the trailer, High quality quicktime movie, downloadable on gigex (not too found of that but its worth it, trust me)

Man, when RS2 first came out, I had to get it. Now that this is coming out, it looks to be even better. I really liked Shadows of the Empire when it came out for the N64. This game looks like it's going to take elements of that, and take it to a whole other level. I tell ya, this year's E3 is gonna be big.

I've got my doubts... I want to know how medals work with the ground missions as part of the flying missions. Accuracy is gonna get all screwed up.

I totally forgot about that part of the game. That's going to be tough if they expect us to kill the foot soldiers with one shot.

Yeah, but they're saying medals are going to be even easier to get in this one, so the reqs probably arent too high.
Also, they should realize that the hardcore RS guys want HARDER medals!

To get gold in some of the missions in RS2 were just plain impossible IMO. Making it easier than that should help make it a little more possible for the non-hardcore folk. If those hardcore guys are so crazy, they should play Mario Sunshine. Now that's tough stuff.

Wow, the graphics look great. When is this is supposed to come out?

[Farmer_BOB]

I don't think there's a "solid" release date yet.

Wow that game looks great! I never finished RS2(too hard) but what is this multiplayer business you speak of?

In rogue squadron 3 you'll be able to play any RS2 missions in coop with another player and other modes like capture the base or versus deathmatches up to 4 players. Thats what EGM's article said. Basicly, RS2 is a multiplayer bonus in RS3, everything you could play in RS2 you'll be able to do so with another player besides you and with updated graphics in RS3

Well, I guess I'll be getting a new GC then. Sold my last one and I keep hearing about future GC releases that seem pretty sweet. I'm waiting for the GC price drop though.
