Lucasfilm strikes back.

January 27:
It's been a long weekend for Star Wars™ fans among us. Today marks the return of Lucasfilm on GOG.com: WAVE II, with the final batch of three Star Wars™ titles:

A 20% launch discount awaits those who join the fight against the dark side in the next 72-hours with three new releases:
Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
<i>Star Wars&trade;</i> Republic Commando
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Starfighter&trade;

As the Wave II timer ticks down to a zero for the last time, one of the most exciting weeks in the history of GOG.com comes to a close. We couldn't be happier with the series of amazing titles we added to our catalog this week, and we're proud to have teamed up with ©Disney Interactive to finally restore six iconic Star Wars™ games back into the hands of gamers exclusively on GOG.com.

January 22:
The time is now! Lucasfilm strikes back with three more Star Wars™ classics available now on GOG.com! This means the exclusive GOG.com digital premiere of two more spacefaring titles:

The timer is still ticking, so stay tuned for one more reveal from ©Disney Interactive and GOG.com!

January 20:
A long time ago in a galaxy near you, ©Disney Interactive and <B>GOG.com</B> teamed up to bring you the holy grail of classic gaming: six Lucasfilm cult-classics were added to our DRM-free catalog, including three titles which saw their digital premiere on GOG.com. We also made a promise to bring you many more cult-classics in the future and, believe us, we did not forget.

Today, with great pride and joy, we're excited to announce Wave II of Lucasfilm games on GOG.com! Starting right now, six new Star Wars™ classics are available in our DRM-free Lucasfilm/Disney catalog. This includes three amazing titles available, for the first time in digital distribution, exclusively on GOG.com:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: X-Wing Alliance&trade; - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Galactic Battlegrounds Saga - digital distribution debut, on GOG.com!

We're also celebrating the DRM-free release of these Star Wars™ games with a 72-hour 20% launch discount:
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Battlefront&trade; II
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade;: Dark Forces
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Knights of the Old Republic&trade; II: The Sith Lords&trade;

Just in case you missed your chance last time, you can grab three more Lucasfilm classics for the same 20% discount, until Friday, January 30, at 1:59 PM GMT!
<i>Star Wars</i>&trade; Knights of the Old Republic&trade;
Indiana Jones&reg; and the Fate of Atlantis&trade;
The Secret of Monkey Island&trade;: Special Edition

Our Lucasfilm/Disney is made that much more impressive today thanks to our team-up with ©Disney Interactive. The 6 new Star Wars™ releases, which include 3 digital premieres exclusively on GOG.com, are barely the beginning. We're not saying more right now, but we know the wait will be worth it for six great reasons - keep watching the front page and stay tuned for more exciting Lucasfilm titles releasing on GOG.com when the timer strikes zero!

If I were GOG i'd be pissed at Rock, Paper, Shotgun for blabbing about the last of the current releases...

... also for using the annoyingly formatted "GoG".

tfishell: The original press release from GOG, back in October, said 30 titles. That was changed to 20+, but hopefully it will be closer to the full LucasArts catalog. :-P
Yeah I'd imagine revising it to "20+" makes it sound less finite than the first number.

dudalb: Prepare to be very Disappointed.....It's not a good game.
And the Controls alone will drive you crazy.

SuperLibby72: I played it and the controls were fine for me.
And they drove a lot of people crazy.They were not well designed. The Camera moves really suck and are hard to control.

:Force Commander is widley considered one Lucasarts fails: A great idea ruined through bad execution

Frankly, if you have Galactic Battles and Empires At War you can forget about Force Commander.

Hi Everyone !!

What's the main differences between Star Wars™ Galactic Battlegrounds and Star Wars™ Empire at War ?

Aside from graphics, they're really distinct from each other ?

What game is the better ? (I know this question is a matter of personal taste, but I'm asking anyways)

Thanks!

Henrique

Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds is a game made in the likes of Age of Empires 2. To be fair Battlegrounds I personally prefer to AoE2. The setting just suits me more. Battlegrounds includes maps on planets, orbital platforms and others. A lot of variety there. Star Wars Empire at War on the other hand is a game with a strategic map where you build buildings on planets and in orbit and you produce units with which you attack on the tactical map at planets or asteroids and a black hole :) Basically your mission is too conguer the enemy held planets. The game is mostly known for its tactical battles with Star Destroyers, Mon Calamari Cruisers and tons off different ships. You can also fight tactical battles on the planets you wan't to occupy. If you are sure you are going to win a battle you can also auto resolve it.

Basically Star War Empire at War is a mix of turn based and real time strategy. I highly recommend it.

Both games are good buy so maybe look at some youtube videos to be sure what you wan't :)

tfishell: maybe that means we'll get many more than just the original 20+ ! :) I mean, maybe not, but still...

mobutu: For sure, it means the first wave sold extremely good and this opened-up the disney-lucas vault ;)
I hope you are right. You must be right. The way of introducing LA games here is so odd...it's unlike GOG. Until now they rather published games in a steady flow and with LA: bang..Bang ..BANG!

From a gamers perspective Disney taking over Star Wars seems to have been a good decision :)
Posted January 22, 2015
Grab Empire at War if you haven't played it. Tune up your systems, spam armies and fleets, auto-fight land battles, and gaze in awe at the awesomeness of the space battles... especially with mods. There's some mods out there that make the EAW space battles look AMAZING.

No Force Unleashed, boo. Well hopefully maybe in the future. I hope Disney sells more than the initial 30 games here.
