Prime Posted November 30, 2004 Share Posted November 30, 2004 I don't think hack and slashes tend to do very well as PC games, especially console ports... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh22 Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 this is not just gonna be a hack and slash...lol...I mean if it is then what do ya think jedi knight 2 and jedi academy are??......I mean if any of you have the star wars trilogy then you must of saw how they made this game.They took all the moves from the movies which is what I have been hearing from all the jedi knight players is exactally what they have been craving!!!If you also look at the teaser trailer you will see plainly that the duels look very movie like... http://www.lucasarts.com/press/releases/91.html and here is the press relese just so you can read what the game is... josh22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Have you watched the trailer? Hack and slash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh22 Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 yes I did and did you read the press release???....it is an action/aventure game not a FPS......or hack and slash.Like I said in my last post what do you think jedi outcast and jedi academy are!All you do in those games are run and gun with saber hack and slash too with a little puzzle solving once in a while. I mean the episode 3 game I am sure will have these elements too I guess when more info is realesed we will find out... http://www.lucasarts.com/products/jediacademy/ http://www.lucasarts.com/ep3/ ok and also go to both of these sites and watch both trailers.As you will see jedi academy trailer is very nurotic and very fast hack and slash where as the episode 3 game looks more fluint and precise in saber fighting which like I said before is what most of the jedi academy and outcast players have been craving for years now.To be able to have duel's like in the movies... josh22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh22 Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 ok prime like I said look at both the jedi academy trailer and the episode 3 trailer.Are you tellin me that jedi academy is not a fast paced run and gun hack and slash title but the episode 3 game is??!!If so that surprises me... see ya, josh22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with Prime. There is a significant stylistic difference between FPS (or TPS, as some like to call JO/JA) and a hak'n'slasher. I just hope that it is good ... at whatever it tries to be.

TK-8252 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 This has what to do with Jedi Academy? There are a couple Episode III game threads in the proper forum, if you bothered to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockstar Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 hey, as much as i love JO and JA, i would at least have to say that to call this Ep. 3 a hack and slash game you would then have to call JA a hack and slash game. To maybe put it more openly, hack/slash/use force powers occationally. Don't get me wrong, i loved every minute of SP in JO and JA, but to call a new starwars game hack and slash but claiming that JA is not the same.... well it just doesn't really make sense because you will most likely find that this Ep 3 will have MORE problem solving than JA. I only recalled using force sense about 3-5 times in JA and they were the only real instances where the levels we more than a straight foward gauntlet to the end. I actually !LOVE! how they make the levels a one way gauntlet because it doesn't mean walking round in circles, going back the way you came to explore the other route, etc, etc. I hope they keep the JO/JA level style in the next installment. that's my 2 cents. catchya, Rockstar P.S. It's good to be arguing with you again prime lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neverhoodian Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Hey, nobody said hack-and-slash games are bad, they just have a different feel than adventure games. I would say that JO was more of an adventure/action game while JA was more of a hack-and-slash. You often had to use your noggin to figure out where to go next in JO while still including enough enemies and action to keep it interesting. JA on the other hand focused on saber fighting, with Cultist and Reborn around practically every corner and only a few simple puzzles that would stump JO veterans for a grand total of five seconds. Both games are great for what they have to offer. As for the Episode III game, it's too early to tell. It's certainly an action game, but whether it's an adventure or a hack-and-slash remain to be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prime Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 I was not trying to comment on the quality of the game by using the term hack and slash. I was using it in terms of a genre. I think the Ep 3 game and JO/JA will be very different in terms of gameplay... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh22 Posted December 1, 2004 Author Share Posted December 1, 2004 I know that is what ya meant prime I just misunderstood ya at first...lol.......I like your reply Rockstar......now let's get some other oponions about this episode 3 game......I am interested in what all of ya think of this game... later, josh22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 Originally posted by Prime I think the Ep 3 game and JO/JA will be very different in terms of gameplay... That was what I was saying as well - a couple of months ago I played through Rune and then Blade of Darkness, both hak'n'slashers, both great fun. JKII & JA feel much more like Elite Force II than either of those games, thus I separate FPS from HnS. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Fisher Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Hmm... I'll have to collect reviews and more movies of it before I pass judgement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 The strength of the JK series (obviously not including DF1) has been the combination of Force, Sabers, Guns, Explosives with first AND third person play. There's so much to do, and it's very action oriented. Single Player & Multiplayer. This game looks to fall short of that precedent. Even if they are billing it as the "ultimate Jedi Simulator" I doubt it will be much more than a pretty over-hyped movie-tie in. But I'm sure it will make lots of money on the consoles. Hopefully for them, it won't be another "Obi-Wan." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crow_Nest Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 After looking at the screens, i have to say the graphics image quallity sucks big time! They are obviously from the PS2 version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Sitherino Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 ... jesus christ. I've heard seen this question 7 previous times. -_- It's a hack and slash, they never succeed on PC, it's being designed specifically for consoles and their controllers. They didn't wanna make it for pc, get over it. Originally posted by |GG|Crow_Nest After looking at the screens, i have to say the graphics image quallity sucks big time! Is this game gonna be on Xbox and PC? the screens are extremely poor compression quality, check the videos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
