Any chance of Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds remaster?

[VEF215]

Pretty excited for the remasters of AoE 2 and 3, and the upcoming AoE 4. But the overlooked and criminally underrated Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds (basically AoE 2 with a Star Wars skin) needs some love as well.

Probably won't happen but it would be awesome.

I would legit smash down another full €20 so fast I'd break the sound barrier. I adore AoE II, but SWGB has space ships and, well, it's Star Wars Spent endless hours in my early teens on multiplayer, would be amazing if a rerelease would revive the community.

I'm not holding my breath, though. Doesn't EA still own the sole rights to all games Star Wars? They couldn't care less about games like this. well they don't care about games in general but that's something else altogether

The Star Wars offerings we've gotten from EA have been absolutely pathetic.

Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order does look good though. And to be fair they have put a lot of work into Battlefront 2, it's a much better game now. But the state of the game now, is how the game should have launched day 1. Are we supposed to wait 2, 3, 4 years post-release for a product to be fleshed out nowadays?

Can we start publicly shaming/ridiculing people who pre-order games though? That orange lightsaber pre-order bonus, my God LOL. The orange lightsaber of shame. Anyone making videos or streaming with the orange lightsaber should be publicly shamed and mocked. Even the deluxe edition has 2 skins for an extra $10. Shameful.

The only reason they still piecemeal and cut / withhold content is because it works and people even in 2019 are still pre-ordering. Enablers.

I tried this out it's pretty good. Thanks for that. But all the unit stances and abilities such as Patrol are gone?

I actually haven't tried the mod myself, but just to take a while guess at the problem, sometimes I see people ask about why that stuff disappeared for Aoe2. And the reason is there is a button near the minimap that toggles on/off the "Advanced Commands". Is there something similar for SWGB? You might need to press a similar button near the minimap to turn them on.

I absolutly love this game and still play it today. A remaster would be very much appreciated. SWGB I give a 9 but a remaster would be a 10

Well they'd have to get the rights to do it and that alone would possibly cost more than it would be worth to actually do it. You have to factor not just how many people would be willing to buy it, but how much those people are willing to pay for it. I like Galactic Battlegrounds, but I wouldn't be willing to pay more than $10 for a remaster if it's mostly a graphics update and some QoL changes.

Honestly if they were to get the rights to develop a Star Wars game I'd rather them make a sequel to it or a new game altogether. There are a lot of things about that game that I don't like. The way the starfighters work as just hovering air units I never liked. I get that there were limitation and that they wanted them in to be Star Warsy but it just looks silly to me and doesn't have that Star Wars feel at all. The cavalry units as well I absolutely hated. It would have been much better if they'd made cavalry as faster ground vehicles. Like speeder bikes or STAPs as scout cavalry, and hover tanks such as the IFT-X and AAT as heavy cavalry. Things like those really drove home the feel of it just being Star Wars skinned AoE.
