IGN received a preview build of LucasArts tactical first person shooter Republic Commando. From this progress report the single player game seems to be shaping up nicely. I do have to warn you if you want to remain completely oblivious to RC's story this preview is not for you. They do cover the first couple of missions of RC. Besides the story this preview covers much of the same information as its predecessors. One interesting development in RC is teammate revival.

| In other instances, you command your teammates to use enemy turrets, find cover to snipe from, or to revive themselves with Bacta. In a nice touch, you might take a hit, draining your energy. In other games, you'd be dead. In this situation, you can call for a revival, which commands a team mate away from what he's doing to inject adrenaline, filling you with enough energy to temporarily stay alive. You can do the same for your teammates. Or you can command another teammate to perform the same task. Also, by pressing A and holding it you can call up a four personnel commands (which also sounds quite familiar): search and destroy, form up, breach and cancel. |
I really hope this revival feature is carried over to the multiplayer game. Being an ex Planetside player I can't tell you how valuable revival can be. Less spawn times can mean the difference between a win or lose. For the full preview, screenshots, and movies head on over to IGN. |
