Wow, I like this one too. I tripped down memory lane with this front page posting. I count Republic Commando as my favorite one person shooter of all time. I am playing Destiny right now and while it is pretty cool it pales in comparison to RC. Nowadays, there just seems to be too much control, if you know what I mean, while RC was instinctive and easy to get on target. Great custom figure.
I know what you mean, to my knowledge, RC remains a pretty unique game to this day for the AI is the best there has every been, it really made me feel like I was in charge of my squad when I could order one of them to take a position while I cover them, or order one to jump on a turret. Hands down my favorite first person shooter, but is extremely underrated today for the market's constant flood of FPS. If Disney remade it just like the old one, that would be a step in a direction to get me back on board, but Disney would never agree to something so violent. Overall the new canon is super child friendly, the movie is the least, but that movie didn't do it for me. They really need to cater to full audience again, the end of The Clone Wars was getting to a general audience point, but canceled for Rebels an even more childish show than season one of CW. Bringing RC back, and KOTOR or a complete remake, like from the ground up (I hate it when they call enhanced graphics versions remakes), that tell a slightly new story but stays true to the old would be a bridge to the new canon for me.
