I'm fairly certain that they have to be authorized by Lucas.

Not canon, but the next best thing.

There has NEVER been a really good Star Wars RTS
Galactic Battlegrounds: Age of Empires with star wars
Force Commander: Weird system, stupid plot
Rebellion: More of a TBS, but it's technically an RTS, but it was way too hard and had annoying AI, only 2 sides

BTW, shitty games of C&C and westwood:
Red Alert 2, That Dune remake(not dune 2000, the later one), Earth and Beyond, never played Tiberian sun so can't say.

I lost all respect in EA when they shutdown Westwood.

RA2, shitty?

You have got to be kidding me; that's one of their most successful games.

Earth and Beyond Online was Brilliant.

Sputty · 2004-11-20, 07:10 PM

Yes, Earth and Beyond, offers the great fun of mining, boring leveling, simple and similar ships and few weapons, beams, missiles and guns! OMG SO MUCH TO DO!!!
In fact, EA cancelled it outright.

And RA2, the most annoying, cartoony, horrible plot that they put too much emphasis on, with dumb characters, annoying units and weird graphics that don't remind me so much of RA1, but rather a morning cartoon
Successful does not equal good
If that were true just about every sports game would be good

Fehronozova · 2004-11-20, 07:25 PM

Sports is a different realm altogether, but I digress.

Red Alert 2 was purposely corny and that was a big risk. It paid off.
I know that many RA fans were upset by this, but it brought in a horde of new players.
I loved RA2's corniness and bad acting.

Also, what's the difference between Earth & Beyond's grinding and nearly any other MMO's grinding? The game still had a following when it was cancelled.

This is EA people.

I actually enjoyed all those games, including Emperor, I actually had quite a bit of fun with it. It was also the first westwood game to use 3 factions.

I would have to say, that my favouiret C&C game was tiberian sun. It had probably the coolest story, and some really great actors.

Tiberian Sun's top-notch news casting.
