cheeto101 Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 naw thats just the twirl, i mean, i see these guys pullin off some moves with the extra saber trails that katas get and they got dual sabers. (heh another sweet attack is the jumping forward attack with the dual sabers, the two spinning hops, that attack slays) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuRn Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 roll stab is your best friend =) anyway, i loved the demo. i felt like they gave just enough away without spoiling anything. definitely going to be a dual saber person, the spinning cartwheel(think neo the way he spinned when he got up against smith) dont know how to pull it off butt did it twice. cutscenes where the shiznit, wall jump....droooolllll best expierience yet = i managed to get two cultists to surround me and pulled off a double kill with the double stab(in front and back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_night Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Originally posted by VanishingVision Yah I like how nice the saber scars are... the combat actually takes skill! and there are a lot of specials to learn im gonna print out the readme it has all the moves catologed and explains how to use them.... Cheers, -VanishingVision where is the demo readme? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMexican Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 readme is [JADemopath]\install\readme.txt and im pretty sure the kata's that the reborns do with their saberstaffs/dual sabers are the same as the moves you can do, but just with the tails for added effect. the cartwheel/butterfly kick moves can be done by forward+jump+attack with the dual/staff sabers.

Darth]-[azard Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Originally posted by Anakin1607 Yeah, it rocks to have a gun that finally works on Dark Jedi. Anyone catch that one Cultist line?

A master, an Apprentice, and an Army. EDIT: BTW, Want the Ultimate Challange? Try the Chandrilla Level with a Single Saber. Bettcha ya can't do it, I had to finish it with a Staffsaber. I'm gonna try again later witht he single saber. EDIT: There is an ingame instruction manual on doing the moves. Tab, Moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chew-Z Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 I used single saber and was a little bit disappointed. You can only use one stance, no chaining to other. And the Reborn can kick you, doesn't matter if they use single, double or staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettcha ya can't do it, I had to finish it with a Staffsaber. I'm gonna try again later witht he single saber. I got through it with a single saber (My favorite, forever will i use a Single Saber). 2 times, once with blue stance and another with yellow stance (Fast,Medium) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth]-[azard Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 As am I single stance forever, but since the opportunity arrose, I used all availaible styles. Also, When you play the full version, you will have to advance, so just pick up more styles when availaible. I just wonder if you'll be able to pick my favourite stance to start off, fast.

BigMexican Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 killing reborn with single saber is easy, just use heavy DFA or downward swing and it smashes their defenses aside. grip makes that level too easy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmackerRod222 Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 What do you guys think of the new acrobatics from the demo along with the 2 new lightsabers. Check out the new fx for force drain awsome looking game. In less then a month its here! Goodbye Outcast hello Academy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alegis Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 the game rocks! Easy move list: Carthweel: -Just do a side jump and then attack DFA: -Jump, and immediately after that press forward+jump...too bad not the same as in JO Crouch thingy: Dual bladed/fisted -Crouch, forward+attack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigMexican Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 i find DFA is easier if you hold down forward, then tap jump+attack. all the moves are available in-game however, hit tab, then select moves, then select your saber style or acrobatics to bring up a list of moves, their requirements, and how to do them. my favourites so far would definately be the saberstaff kicks and the single saber pull+attack. dual sabers don't do that much for me, although the saber barrier move is kinda cool.

tom4stir Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 2 really cool things I noticed. The enemy AI is a huge improvemnt. I had one the the cult members corronered in the corner, then the crouched down to fight me better. Also, once I was dead, he kicked me! And second, I accidetly did the coolest move ever, but I can't do it agian! I used force speed, then jumped at a cult member. But instead of doing a normal jump, my guy DOVE at him holding his lightsaber out! Unfortently, I fell off cilff and died. But I have't been able to do thins move agian. Has anyone done a move like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Lunatic Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Ninjas?? Dark jedi or sith i would tend to call them. And yes they were quite challenging indeed! Loved the demo btw!! Great fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rassick Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Okay, I don't know if it's something wrong with my system or what..... I have all the latest drivers, and yet the bottom of that chasm in the underground Chandrila level is all colored a plain blue for me. Is it supposed to be like that, or is it supposed to be black?

Kazutoyo Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 I didn't like the 1st demo level, but the 2nd one is FUN! I also noticed that they haven't fixed a "bug" from Jedi Outcast Use grip on someone over a "hole" and drop him. Then grip him again while falling down and move him to a safe place. He will still die from the long falling one saved him from But not that I care much about that. Overall, I was pleased with it. And hope that most levels in the game are as fun as the 2nd one (which I belive they are). The saberglow is very cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reprehence Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 I experienced the same thing when I first loaded up - it was nearly unplayable - however - In looking at the mouse settings I noticed that Force-Feedback mouse was defaulted to Yes. I don't have a FF mouse - so I turned it off. Now it's as smooth warm butter. I don't know why this default was set. It seems strange since I don't know that many with an FF mouse (maybe I'm wrong). Don't know if this helps everyone - but it helped me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taekwondo joe Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 oh man this demo rocks, great fun, slashesing up dead bodys turrning them into charred up carcases, is great fun, the cultists are but and even better than i could emagin, love it, great fun!

C'jais Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 I liked the demo very much, the same basic gameplay as JK2, but improved in nearly all apartments. They did a lot of work on the staff/dual sabers, but they still feel way too uncontrollable. You just hold down the fire button and walk into an enemy while twirling your saber like mad - instant hits almost guaranteed. All these preconfigured "twirl moves" and katas I have my doubts about - it is *YOU* who are supposed to make those moves by using your imagination and skilled keystrokes. Not rely on spamming scripted moves (yes, I said it). That is why I am going to forsake the gorgeous staffsaber and concentrate on my favoured medium stance, to show that it is possible to control your strikes as well as look cool at the same time. I don't like doing this, especially since the staff's moves are so beautifully well done, but I'm at least going to give medium stance a try. That said, I love the new moves -spider climbing on walls, kicking (wish it was possible with a single saber), rolls, thrusts, butterfly moves etc. All very well done indeed. A shame about the spin-fu required to fight with the new sabers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leo Soontar Posted September 6, 2003 Share Posted September 6, 2003 Okay one guy has asked about the long-jump so here's how to do it. Press Force Speed (has to be level 2 or 3 and up, I think, not sure), then immediately run fowards (W) and jump (SPACE). You'll see one helluva cool Matrix-like jump, in which you can also turn on or off your saber in midair. I used this jump to cross the gapped bridge where there are 2 cultists waiting on the other side, complete with turning on my blade in midair, after landing slicing the hell out of them. Completey kick a**!!! I also used this jump to cross the falling rocks at the end of the level when everything breaks apart and you have to escape like any good Hollywood adventure movie. Wow.
