Sp!ker Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah epic nostalgia'd Yea, Jedi Academy is a game in which the sabers were allright :-) I dunno, comparing between KotOR and TOR, they look about the same. i don't care f any 7 years old game - kotor .. now comes tor.. I would say that the lightsabers are even better in Kotor than TOR (they are "not much" in Kotor too).. i dont know why did they do lightsabers stick-like in tor.. it doesnt look good!

KotOR was made by Bioware. I think it's just a matter of opinion. I don't like super glowey overly done sabers. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just like the sabers in movie thats all ... and I think that most people have the same opinion Which movie... in Episode IV it was very bland, V it was more refined, but still kinda bland, VI it got to looking pretty nice. then we got the prequels that had good looking sabers that varied to overly fuzzy at times.

Sp!ker Posted April 17, 2011 Author Share Posted April 17, 2011 my idea of a saber... OFFICIAL by BioWare MADE BY ME(Notice the blurred red sword when it moves -> on the right) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Technically, the blurred moving lightsaber should only happen in the movies, because of the 24 fps motion blur. In a game that's supposed to run at 60, there shouldn't be that blurry effect. I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamqd Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I Think its the Glow rather than movement blur. The second picture is better as Sp!ker has shown (IMHO) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabretooth Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 The lightsabre on the left does look better no doubt, but the on the right looks like a movement blur (as it appears in the movies, and is specified by the image author). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamqd Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 sorry, I didn't even see that saber lol, I'm talkin about the purple double blade, the movement blur doesn't bother me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a game that's supposed to run at 60, there shouldn't be that blurry effect. I think. I'm not an expert on the pretend science of lightsabers, but I always assumed it was like the blur you get when you 'write' with a sparkler. Visible with human eyesight, not due to a video camera. edit: never mind, just realized you meant it wouldn't be visible when paused, not in game. That makes sense.

Sp!ker Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 well, but in the video sabers could be movement blurred .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 well, but in the video sabers could be movement blurred .. Aren't they? Never paid due attention on the trailers. But I agree with you, it just looks weird otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp!ker Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 it blurs only in certain situations... probably some Ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Guy Over There Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I think that if there's a way to have motion blur while still maintaining a good FPS, they should go for it. The one thing that I think they should definitely change is the fact that the lightsaber gets thicker at the bottom. I think that while lightsabers should have rounded tips for aesthetic purposes, the edges should definitely be parallel, otherwise it looks to me more like a glowing sword rather than a blade made out of energy.

Sp!ker Posted May 2, 2011 Author Share Posted May 2, 2011 is incomprehensible why they made the sabers so unprofessional... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRogueForums Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 thicker blade, more light and edge blur and reduce the size of hilt and it will be perfect... :-) ^^ This. I have *always* had an issue with the saber hilts and blades we have seen in TOR thusfar. It looks too.... cut and dry? The lightsabers in BioWare's KOTOR looked a kagillion times better than what's in TOR right now. And that game is what? 200 years old now? If it isn't broke, do not fix it.

Isaac Clarke Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 [rant]I don't think the hilts are a problem. I mean, look at the ones in JKA!!! Those things are HUGE compared to TOR. Now, it's the BLADE I'm worried about. I mean, come on! Those don't even look like LIGHTSABERS!!! Now, if Bioware doesn't improve this, I will give up on them.(well, just the star wars games.)[/rant] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp!ker Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 i have seen latest TOR gameplays and all videos but sabers still seems to me suck... they dont seems to me the same as we know from the movies... ..just an ordinary colored stick :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommycat Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Again, maybe it's because I'm not a fan of Jedi, but to me they look nice. I mean compared to the glowie stick used in the original Star Wars, these are great. But I guess you had to say something to bump your thread.

decalibron Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 hm...isn't it a little irrational to give up on a BIOWARE sw game because the lightsabers are sketchy? I think they aren't that bad, they certainly could get better, but i think there are plenty of things i'd be more worried about, like maybe story or something. Half the classes don't even use lightsabers. I think the game will be great regardless of whether or not the blades are toothpicks or foam bats. And if you really have that big of a problem with them...well, you could always be a trooper? Ok, sorry about my long, boring, and most likely offensive rant, but i really think there's some overreactions about petty details, i mean they aren't even THAT BAD. Trust in the collective wisdom of the Bioware Council. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommycat Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Seriously, I think people are way overreacting to the lightsabers. Show spoiler (hidden content - requires Javascript to show) Sorry, those look good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ctrl Alt Del Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I suppose they just don't look like the lightsaber from the movies, though. Not worse, just different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChAiNz.2da Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I just find it funny that people are screaming "heads should roll" over lightsaber graphics when every other post in the forums are "Graphics aren't as important as story, story, story"... When you start adding blur (motion, directional, gaussian, etc.), you start adding frame field information (rendering times are affected a lot more by blur than one would think). That additional rendering affects frame rates. In an mmo/multiplayer game.. I want framerates over motion blur. I honestly don't mind how they look now. If they change by release, yay.. if not, no biggie. They've already convinced my money to depart from my wallet.. hehehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp!ker Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 :-D :-D people... light around the saber is not light, it's just the colored edge of the white stick ... It bothers me ... :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
decalibron Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 thank you for all of the lightsaber support guys! TOR has a lot bigger fish to fry than a distinct edge around the core of the blade...story story story like CHAINz.2da says Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
