Star Wars: Battle Pod
« on: January 30, 2015, 06:52:44 PM »
I have to say this game looks awesome! I can't wait to play this. When I saw this I thought Star Wars Trilogy Arcade game meets Star Wars Battlefront. What does everyone think?

Seen that also, reminded me of the old sit down vector-ish graphics Star Wars coin op games from a more arcade robust time.

Yup, I figured I'd make a topic about it and if anyone wanted to talk about it they could. I honestly think this game definitely has potential.

Isn't it more of an arcade game than for stand alone video game platforms?

Is that the game they're putting in Dave&Busters I've never been there. It looks awesome though.

Yeah its an arcade game, like Star Wars Trilogy. Was it ok to make a topic?

Has it been released yet? I really haven't been following, I've just been watching the trailers lol.

Oh yeah, definitely a good idea to make a thread.

I just saw some some shots of this on a flat screen which led me to believe perhaps they were thinking other platforms too, but I could be wrong.

Oh ok haha. I thought maybe there was another thread about it that I missed lol.

I haven't seen anything about other platforms. I doubt it but I hope it gets a home release. If so they should start with Star Wars Trilogy Arcade game. I've deposited so many quarters in that game, I'm sure I'll do the same with this one.

I don't know if you have a Dave&Busters where you live but I saw a commercial for the star wars game and it said only at D&B. So I'd look there first.

It could be a regional thing. They might have a contract for the SE region. I don't know. I probably depends where you live.
