Swoosh Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 Hell yeah! My only question is why weren't we invited to this media party up at the Ranch? Oh well, maybe someday I can't wait to play the game!!! Swoosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TornSoul Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 New things we learned from the new preview: The bowcaster will be almost the same as in JK1 (including the 5 shot second fire option) We're going to get "acrobatic-style moves". I wonder how they're doing this. If this is going to be Oni-style key-combos or something else. The AI is going to be fantastic! Force lightning will be a force power in JK2. Will they make it as in JK1 or as in MotS? There will be actual weather effects like rain and snow that will affect the gameplay (make the ground slippery or something) There will be 8 different locations, with multiple sublevels. This doesn't really say much, because we don't know how long the levels will be. I think that's about it. Overall I'd have to agree with this preview: It's going to kick ass!

GonkH8er Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 and leg choppy-offyness and the ability to harm your opponents in ways which they will psysically display the result of. (eg limping) *dreamy sigh* im content again........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wardz Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 Sounds good. But I will be more enthusiastic when i see it a little closer. Like in my hands.. I got so excited about obiwan I dont dare tempt fate.. wardz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rogue15 Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 they should make it so the planet's gravity affects the player too, not all planets have the same gravity you know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonkH8er Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 i was wondering about that not long ago. i havent seen any alterations in gravity in all the sw planets we've seen in movies..... whats the go with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PreTZeL Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 umm...i like this reading...heh yeah, as for gravity... "I don't think they had Wookiees in mind when they made this thing." hope that clears things up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillerBee Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 mmm the moon of Endor kinda had Earth like gravity.. wierd.. unless the moon was the size of Earth.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhuf Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 The article also mentions that Raven will be using motion capture for the animations. Kickass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardz Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 Could they not use the motion capture they were going to use for ObiWan. I have the videos for them and they look really good.. wardz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 speaking of gravity, i though a cool idea for a level, prob MP would be an old, VERY old (in SW tech terms) space station. one that is so old that it uses cintrifigal force to create artifical gravity. it could have six to ten levels or something like that, the center of course would have no gravity, but the outer level would have say, 3x normal gravity, so everyone moved sluggish, and things like saber throw arced WAY down. the middle levels of course would work their way out, gradually raising gravity. that would be a pretty cool level, no?

Guest Krayt Tion Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 ya it was nice of them to elaborate on the squad-base stormie AI...time to snipe the officers first and i haven't slipped around on ice without cleats in the SW universe since the days of Ice Station Beta, good. i think that's what we all wanted to hear and i only have one complaint. When the **** did JK have a Stun Baton?? That's the second time IGNPC has said it will be a weapon that is returning from JK. Hello? Who has been smoking too much crack while playing Deus Ex. Katarn does not work for UNATCO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denise Posted July 28, 2001 Share Posted July 28, 2001 Well, what with the Dragon's Tooth in that game I could see reason for the confusion. Funny, the tech descriptions say it's a regular blade with nanites cleaning and sharpening the surfaces, but then when you get it it looks suspiciously like an energy sword...

nykel007 Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 This motion-capture, it'll be great to see how it is implemented in the game. You'll maybe be flipping over and away from your opponent and stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed_silvergun Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 Yes, the motion capture news interested me too, mainly because I've heard a couple of members of Id, including Carmack himself say that they think it's a bit of a waste of time... Still, those Obi-Wan motion-capture videos looked great, so let's hope Outcast's are as good. Seems like <A HREF="http://www.pc.ign.com">PC.IGN.com</A> were impressed, anyway...

Guest Kurgan Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 The Bowcastor actually sounds very similar to JK's. In JK the primary fire was a five shot spread (you had to charge it a bit, just tapping the button fired one shot). Secondary fire was a stronger BOUNCING shot. So it sounds like they just switched them and made the bouncy shot an exploding shot. Hope they improve the range of the spread (range sucked in JK, it was more like a shotgun). The Stun Baton.. hmm. Maybe they are thinking of the TUSKEN PROD that was planned for JK, but never made it. Y'know, this is there chance to add in all the stuff that was planned for JK, but never made it into the final release: Tusken Prod weapon Saber Throw (we saw this in MotS of course, and Obi-Wan) Speeder Bikes (drivable by player and enemies) Ride Animals (Kell Dragons, enemies only?) Kick attack, in addition to punches (we saw this in Obi-Wan) Ground Rolls (Obi-Wan has 'em, probably see them here too; and no, not the pastry) Unfortunately I don't have the screenshots anymore, but they released some back in the day of the Tusken Prod and Speeders. Another thing I remember that sounded cool from JK was a sequence where Kyle was in a sewer tunnel, and an AT-ST hopped down into the tunnel and chased him.. ; ) Kurgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhuf Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 The mo-cap animations in tribes1 and 2 were pretty impressive and I wouldn't call them a waste of time. I remember reading a long time ago, before Jedi Knight was published that Jedi Knight animations would also use motion capture. I don't know whether that actually happened or not. Anyone got any info on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyler Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 JKO sounds so good i am almost afraid to believe its true.(i know it is still early in developement) It has been four long years since JK came out. JKO looks worth the wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRAVE Posted July 29, 2001 Share Posted July 29, 2001 Yea, if its on different planets there should be different strengths of gravity. That would be easy for Raven to implement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
