so ？which game ?
its AOE2 engine starwar !
yeah it was built using the age of empires 2 engine .
i think it is a real shame this game never got remade but i do not know why it cannot be remade .
could it simply come down to disney and copyright issues ???
Most likely.I doubt there is a huge fanbase for this game to justify the costs attached to it.
Disney said no to this so the project is frozen.
Yes, that’s right… the SWGB remaster was proposed to Disney back in 2019 when the FE devs were working on AoE 2DE, but Disney rejected the idea because it no longer fit with the current Star Wars canon (which is ridiculous, because I checked the Star Wars wiki and, apart from the expansion EP2 campaigns and the Wookiee tutorial campaign, the rest more or less fits with the actual lore of the films and the saga:
Tutorial/Wookiee Campaigns (you can readapt it from Alaris Prime to Kashyyyk, connecting it to Episodes 3 and 6)
Trade Federation/Gungan Campaigns (basically Episode 1 from both sides)
Galactic Empire/Rebel Alliance Campaigns (basically Episodes 4 to 6 from both sides)
Attack of the Clones Expansion:
Expanding Fronts Expansion:
Ashoka’s Campaign (based on the series of the same name)
Rey’s Campaign (basically episodes 7 through 9)
i think, as long as it falls within the aoe2 scope, that is enough. this game does not need star wars fans, but rts players would probably enjoy it.
maybe ？
i do not know why i am suddenly very angry, if you ask me, i would say i think disney is destroying the star wars ip.
lets pretend there’s anything left to destroy
and if anything FE and WE should try again since lucasfilm finally got rid of kennedy
No it wont.
Its already destroyed,they tried with mandolorian but later season and movie were a total disaster.Even baby yoda cant save that franchise.
Exactly the target audience are the starwars fans who play rts games.somehow palpatine returned is not going to sell.
I feel like the devs are saving the spot below the chronicles button for a SWGB definitive edition someday.
Another topic about porting SWGB in DE, I support this, I hope that one day this will become true. With the third trilogy the game can be better then the original game from 2001. Probably no crossplay because of the impassable space terrain outside of the aerial units.
Another good game mode are the Lord of the Rings. There is mods for this universe in both AOE HD and AoM EE. If this one come to DE this will require many reskin of unit and new architectural set but there is already many asset of the original game that can used (because the story doesn’t take place in space but in a earth like planet). Because it’s a low fantasy universe I think this will fit more in AOE2 than in AoM.
Extended Universe, please. No rat canon.
And then add Yuuzhan Vong.
Yes, it’s pure corporatism…
Sure, here’s everything it would include:
SWGB Remaster – Definitive Edition Concept
Rewritten Campaigns
Base Game: Naboo, Wookiees, Trade Federation, Empire, Rebels
Expansion: Republic and Confederacy during the Clone Wars
All adapted to the official timeline with canon characters (Padmé, Yoda, Anakin, Vader, Leia)
Graphics and Sound
Updated engine with HD textures and modern animations
Integrated soundtrack with official music by John Williams and Kevin Kiner (The Clone Wars)
Modern Multiplayer
AoE II DE-style matchmaking
Crossplay on PC and consoles
Competitive balancing with adjusted factions
Bonus Content
New campaigns inspired by Rogue One and The Mandalorian
Additional Factions: Mandalorians, First Order, Resistance
Galactic maps with iconic locations (Scarif, Mandalore, Exegol).
Integrated canon.
All campaigns aligned with official films and series.
Validated by Lucasfilm Games as part of the canon.
Yes, but for that they’d be better off releasing a remaster of LotR War of the Rings or even BftME.
Wow, what a level…the Yuuzhan Vong (too bad they’re no longer canon, they had incredible lore)…
I want the Ewoks. They would use wooden stuff and animals to fight with.
the question is, does this game really still have a chance. it would be nice if microsoft opened up the age of empires 2 definitive edition engine to the community… maybe community players would do a remaster, but… i really hope i get to play this new star‑wars‑themed game. i am not a star wars fan, but i personally like these sci‑fi art styles, as well as the aesthetic concepts of armors and weapons.
I haven’t played it, but if the mod team managed to make an enjoyable campaign out of this disaster of a trilogy, hats off to them!
Personally I’d like to see a Thrawn campaign.
Yes, according to the mod, Rey’s campaign only covers Episode 7 (you know, where she starts collecting scrap on Jakku until she finds the Millennium Falcon and, with it, the old Han Solo and Chewbacca), since it was started in 2016, but the idea was that it would continue with the other battles and episodes (the battles of Takodana in EP7, Crait in EP8, and Exegol in EP9)… then you have the Phantom Menace campaign (with the first mission with Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan at the beginning of the movie on the station fighting against the Trade Federation) and the one similar to the historical battles of Age of Empires, Battles of the Galaxy (which currently only has the Battle of Jakku that we see in SWBF 2).
