Prime Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 Originally posted by iamtrip I am asking how 2 analogue sticks and 10 buttons is sufficient? I'm thinking more about having the two analog sticks. The movement of a mouse can be duplicated by one analog stick. This leaves the other to provide additional functionality not immediately transferable to the mouse. One analog/mouse provide the up/down/left/right swings for example, but the gamepad also has the additional stick to provide more input like forward/back strikes. This is the sort of versatily I am thinking of. Originally posted by iamtrip Gamepads are way below par for third person shooters and fps's compared to the speed and precision of a mouse Good point. I agree completely. The mouse and keyboard system is what I prefer and I agree that it is more accurate. Originally posted by iamtrip Furthermore, how would you suppose that 10 buttons are better than over 100? But a lightsaber system would likely never use more than 10 button because then things become very complicated and awkward. I mean, look at something Soul Calibur II. It has an amazing number of different moves with only the 10 buttons. But you raise some good points. I'm just thinking that if a lightsaber system is designed to take advantage of the two analog sticks, then that system may not be easily transferable to the mouse and keyboard.

lukeskywalker1 Posted September 20, 2004 Share Posted September 20, 2004 I wish they would make a star wars movie game... like this: You start off as luke skywalker on tatooine. The whole story is told through his eyes, it starts off as the Jawa's come and sell the droids... and through a 2-3 minute cutscene shows luke picking them.. etc... him arguing with owen, and then eventually the game starts where you jump into the speeder with c3p0 and they drive away searching for R2. The first battle could be between luke and the Tuskens. It ends with luke fighting Vader. Oh well, won't happen (well.. it sorta has on GBA, but I want a 3d FPS with lightsaber combat) I'd even be thrilled to have it on JA's engine.

lukeskywalker1 Posted September 21, 2004 Share Posted September 21, 2004 Originally posted by iamtrip A great Idea!12onetwoone1! Whats wrong with it? Prime, it is the greatest star wars story though, right? I mean... it IS star wars. So who cares if you know it. It won't be 100% exact anyways. Perhaps they should add a few things, like a random lightsaber battle once in a while... and special bosses and mini bosses (just to add action) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So who cares if you know it. It won't be 100% exact anyways. It is more of a personal preference really, but I like an unknown story for a game. If it is done properly, it makes me feel like I'm really in control of my own destiny. When the story is already known, it just seems like I have much less control over what I do. But that's just me.

Eggman Dr Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 Heres Some Suggestions... 1.The Abilty to Select Some Allies For Missions, I Dont Know ANYTHING About Programming, But Would It Be Possible? i Want A Tame Rancor To Aide Me In A Trip Through The Sewers Of Corsucant! Of Course You Can Only Select Allies In Certain Missions, And There Could Be Forced Allies, Meaning You HAVE To take Them With You! 2.Bosses Engaged By What You Do In Certain Maps, What If You Pushed A Button In Map A Then Later You Have To Fight A Mutant Octupus In Map B! Wouldnt It Be Cool? Thats All I Have To suggest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kurgan Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 That sounds cool... an octopus, yes! I like the idea of alternate paths, and while they sort of gave us that in JA, it really wasn't much of a choice. Jedi Knight had something more, but even more could be done if they planned it out well. As far as JK4 speculation/wishlist threads, there's already several of those, but I'm guessing you missed 'em. ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Dravis Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 You could just spawn a custom NPC that follows you around, OR Play the OJP Basic 0.0.6. It allows you to play SP maps in MP, with virtually all scripting intact. So you can play co-op with your friends, or other people on the net. There's going to be a couple of servers up running the mod quite soon if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tinny Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 Originally posted by Prime The only problem is you know exactly how the story is going to unfold before you play it. what about an kotor style original trilogy game? you have soo many options outside of the main movie line opened up. you can go back to rescue your uncle and aunty and still rebel against them and go with obi wan. you can pick boba fett as your pilot instead of han solo, you can choose the dark side and reign with either palpatine or vader depending on who you betray. so pretty much you can anywhere from being a moisture farmer all your life to someone so powerful he can command the free mason's to get him coffee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow_Nest Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 What i really want from JK4 (If there is one) is a new Doom 3 or Source engine make over with really good saber and gameplay and force powers, yep what is star wars without sabers and force? That would rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted September 23, 2004 Share Posted September 23, 2004 I ran the Doom3 demo last night on my computer, it was choppy and slow, at minimum settings. : ( 'Course by the time a theoretical Doom3 based JK4 came out, I would probably have a new computer that could handle such a beast. Right now all I lack is the ram... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Jedi Knight series is about, correct me if I am wrong, Jedi Knights. To my knowledge Battlefront has no Jedi, right? So how can it be the way JK was ment to be? Or are you being sarcastic?
