I was hoping we would see something relating to it in the bad batch, as it has Scorch, but they seem to mostly be using him as a background character.
The EU is dead. I don’t think we will ever get a conclusion.
Even if we did it’s going to be so far removed from the team that made the first one it wouldn’t feel the same anymore. I think the time for a sequel that feels like a true sequel is far gone
That certainly seems to be the way disney is going, I’m just so perplexed by them having Scorch be a reoccurring background character in the bad batch if they aren’t going to do something with him.
One thing I’ve learned is when they name drop someone it’s important.
Scorch is scorch instead of a random clone for a reason.
Is this worth playing today?
Yes it is, use the mods on this Wiki and it will run on current hardware https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Republic_Commando
Thank you (and thanks to everyone else who replied). I’m going to give this a shot.
Personally, I’d say yes, it hasn’t aged well on PC (your cursor will move at Mach 2 in menus even on the lowest possible sensitivity for example) and the graphics could certainly use an update, but the squad combat & banter still feels great. The game also does a great job of feeling like it fits into the universe, it came out about 3 months before Revenge of the Sith, and includes tons of references and hints to its plot that feel like something an actual in universe clone would see.
I will warn you however, if you end up playing it, the game is very hard at points, and the AI can be pretty stupid at times.
One of my favourites from my childhood, but I haven’t played it in a while so I’m not sure if it’s nostalgia talking.
From my childhood they say. God I’m old.
I believe there was a book that was supposed to wrap up the cliffhanger. I would love a remaster of this game.
All they need is a modern remake with an extra level or two to wrap it up
