Isn't Jade Empire a few years old now? I could wipe the cobwebs off the game itself and my strategy guide for it.

 

its barley a year old. came out around this time last year if I remember right.

 

still bioware initially had not plans to take it to pc.

 

bah, who cares how old it is as long as it doesn't require Vista like a signifigant other Xbox port... *cough*Halo 2*cough*

 

they are targeting a 1.8 p4 with 256MB of ram. and any gfx card that can handle shaders 1.1.

Oh it's barely old? Well I guess the game got old quick for me after beating it twice. To me it's just a hack and slash, but I might check it out, if they support mods and other things. That's the only reason why I bought the two KOTOR's for pc, because of the mods.

Sounds good! I prefer these kinds of games on PC and consequently I never played this one, so I'll have to check it out eventually.

Okay, for anyone's information...

 

I heard a while ago that Jade Empire was VERY similar to Kotor 1 in your ability to mod it.

 

Of course, being only for XBox turned a lot of folks away from trying. BUT I read on a VERY a prominent XBox modding site that Kotor Tool was easily used to mod some aspects of JE... so I am hoping that someone can come up with an easy way to mod JE for PC because I have literally been DYING to mod that puppy since it came out (which, incidentally was released April 14, 2005)

 

If you can not tell I am a HUGE!!!! Jade Empire fan, but ever since beating the game (20 times) there has been a tremendous lull for me with it.

 

Now, it turns out that it is being re-released for PC (modding!), I purchased a Sky card from Aimo @ aimostudios, AND a friend of mine is writing a story about JE... so my JE habit has had a resurgence!

 

Yah Jade Empire! :D

 

By the way, if I am not mistaken I think the release of the PC version is supposed to be around September of this year(?)

Cool. I wonder how moddable it will be...

 

I HOPE it will be very moddable. Hmmm, I will have to check Bioware's site and the XBox modding sites I visit. I'll let you know :D

Hee, and I thought Fable sucked. To each their own :lol:

The greatest thing about Jade Empire on the console was being able to do harmonic combos and blowing up your enemies or beheading them with a sword. :D

Hmm, Jade Empire is good - one of the only games I've ever played on a console (Mainly a PC gamer). But the biggest problem is that every ticky situation can be solved by jumping :p.

Yup, I noticed that too...

That's good to know. :D

 

Waits patiently with GFF Editor at the ready...

i've been waiting for this, SO long!

 

The gameplay from Kotor, combined with Chinese martial arts! I just can't wait to play it. And although it has been a year, 'we' didn't complain about the graphics of Kotor1 and 2 either, and those look....far worse actually.

 

And IF the Kotor tool works on this game too, i think the modding community can realy help making the game better then the X-Box version.

I've not been disappointed by any Bioware made RPG I've played yet, so I will probably buy this game too when the PC version comes out.

 

Doesn't matter to me if it's a year old, the age of a game rarely affects its quality. Seems to me that the graphics and world representation are the only things that are improving in games nowadays anyway.

 

I often get games that are a few years old since by then my computer has usually caught up with the crazy hardware requirements most games have and I can play them with all graphic options enabled. :)

 

(A bit funny that it takes a 1.9GHz AMD Athlon machine to play Deus Ex without any hickups with decent graphics settings. A game released when 400 MHz Pentium 2 was top-of-the-line. :))

Here's to hoping it has, or can use an 'override' folder! :D

 

From your lips to Bioware's ears....

 

We don't have an x-box at our home so we never got the game, but if it's half as fun as Kotor, we'll use up a lot of free time playing this one, too. :)
