Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire 3D

The Green Ranger · 06-08-2014, 03:20 PM

Who else besides me would buy the heck out of this game, if they remastered it in 3D for the 3DS like they did Ocarina of Time and such?

It would be amazing imho.

Let's make this happen Disney!

The game is awful. No amount of re-making would make it good. They'd need to make it an entirely new and different game.

Take off your nostalgia glasses.

Shadow of the Empire wasn't even good BACK THEN.

*Cure* · 06-08-2014, 06:29 PM

Yeah, I remember thinking it was like poop from a butt. I think I made it to a fight with Boba Fett and quit.

Wow, how disappointing these responses are. Sure it had clumsy controls, but it was a fun awesome game.

Peanut · 06-08-2014, 10:10 PM

It had the definitive Hoth battle for the time. Nothing else about it was good. Sorry that you can't see past your nostalgia for what may as well be a literal pile of sh*t.

Also, you won't get far in here saying "NO WAY!" and then not giving examples to back up your claim. You're just going to get piled on more for blindly voicing your opinion based on nothing.

The Hoth battle was neat but then everything went into the sh*tter the second that section ended.

And then that Hoth battle was done better in other games about a billion times. It's kinda like saying Goldeneye is still the best FPS ever made or some garbage.

Shadows of the Empire transmedia/multimedia project was awesome in the mid-90s. But this is only about the game so I'll comment on that.

The game hasn't aged as well as we'd all like it to but the responses in the thread are still pretty harsh. I mean it was a "launch window" game for the N64 and it delivered in making us feel like inside a SW movie for the first time. The Hoth scene was so amazing it got copied to death after it and will continue to be done, sure it's gotten better but what else did you expect. The other levels are haven't aged well but plenty of iconic moments in the game, I fear Wampas because of the game, battling an AT-ST as a human, fighting against Boba Fett/IG88 was amazing, the speeder sequence was easy but absolutely amazing. Piloting the outrider in space and blowing up Xizors space ship and escaping made me feel like I had just shot the death star since it's what it was trying to re-create, the SW music, everything. Sure you can say that PC had done it before but like Goldeneye did for FPS this was the first time console gamers got the chance. And yeah all these things have been done better by now but this game did it first.

I can overlook the flaws now with nostalgia goggles but I'd love to play a new version, not necessarily for 3DS, and I wouldn't want just the game but now that everything is non-canon, why not re-print the novel, make a new game and a new comic book? I'd love that. The "transmedia" storytelling was a great concept that hasn't really been done since I remember The Force Unleashed tried and was a shadow of what SotE did ten years before and it could be done so much better.

I'm not going to waste my time giving specific examples, just for you to shoot them down and talk more crap. If I can't see past my "nostalgia goggles," then you definitely can't see past your own hate of a good game.

Thank you sdp, for something more positive than "this game sucks" rants. I appreciate and respect your response.

So you're one of those 'It's only a valid response if you agree with me and if not I'll just get all pissy about it' people?

Wonderful. Just what we needed!

Peanut · 06-09-2014, 10:20 PM

lol. Sure thing, kid.

The Green Ranger · 06-09-2014, 10:29 PM

No, I'm one of those if you're gonna call me out on my lack of points, then provide something a little more constructive than "this game is ****" type of people. I respected and appreciated the other person's response, because of the time he took to write it.

And I in none of my posts got "pissy," other than people calling me out on a lack of response, while doing the exact same thing, just with an opposite position.

I thought you were one of those people that uses his weapons for defense.
