From what I remember, the gist of the argument was not that they looked bad, it was just that doing the animations manually gave them a lot more "hands-on" control.
Syndrix Posted July 29, 2001 Posted July 29, 2001 Well Wilhuf, apparently motion capture implementation did not go ahead in Jedi knight. Not stable and flexible enough at the time, or so is stated. Interview [ July 29, 2001: Message edited by: Syndrix ]
Guest Krayt Tion Posted July 29, 2001 Posted July 29, 2001 The purpose of that sentence in the IGNPC follow up preview was clearly to mention what weapons that we used in JK that we would get to use again. It is a pretty glaring oversight, maybe I should email them.
nykel007 Posted July 29, 2001 Posted July 29, 2001 One more thing, it'll be cool to see kyle go up against an AS-AT/AT-AT. I know he came up against one in MOTS, it be nice to do what Luke did in Empire and chop off a few heads.
CaptainRAVE Posted July 29, 2001 Posted July 29, 2001 Hi, i aint seen you round these forums before. Welcome. Yea, it will be cool to chop heads off. Im gonna enjoy torturing the enemy
Wilhuf Posted July 29, 2001 Posted July 29, 2001 Thanks Syndrix for the link to the interview. Interesting backstory.
Chewie_Rips Posted July 29, 2001 Posted July 29, 2001 Motion Capture Animations-New Saber Control System-Acrobatics-Acurate Blocking-Body Specific Hits-Weapon Based Puzzle Elements...." Show me to bathroom, I just shiat my pants".. " I have a crap on deck that could choke a donkey"....Fat Bastard APTPWSM
CaptainRAVE Posted July 29, 2001 Posted July 29, 2001 Yea there was quite a lot of information released. I really like the idea of acrobatics.....but then, isnt this taking the same path as Obi-Wan so far ...ekk indeed
C.H.A.S. Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 I liked the info the preview gave and hope it all gets into the game. Also I doubt JK2 will do an Obi-Wan on us because the Jedi Knight franchise was strictly PC except for Dark Forces. P.S. What is motion capture. [ July 30, 2001: Message edited by: C.H.A.S. ]
Davo Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 yeah im really gonna enjoy slicing a few ewoks up! damn those Ewoks.... damn them to HELL!!! im gonna amputate each of their limbs. i want to take their faces....... OFF!!! hhhhmmmmm yum sorry just a little hungry and getting tired and no im not serious i dont really enjoy eating little fury ewoks ..... but i must. enough of this crap im going to sleep and no im not crazy
nykel007 Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 Did anyone notice? but in the E3 clip kyle's opponent drops her l.saber. I hope this doesn't happen in the real game, it could be quite annoying.
nykel007 Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 I hope we'll be able to play another charater (luke ) rather than kyle. maybe like a special mission.
Rancor Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 C.H.A.S..... Motion capture is a way of getting high quality animations based on the way things move in real life...basically, the people doing the motion capture attach little glowy balls to specific spots on a stunt actor, then they record that actor performing different moves. Next, they have a computer track the motion of the balls on a computer and build a realistic representation of that stunt/whatever. Finally, they take this motion captured data and apply it to a character in the game. Voila..the animation looks very realistic. So, that's more or less how it works.

C.H.A.S. Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 Thank you. I got lost whenever somebody mentioned it. Anyway that sounds cool and I sure hopes it gets in JK2. Oh I remember hearing about that at a computer show. Duh! One more thing what does EU or UE or whatever stand for. Thanks Again Yes looking back I did see the lightsaber being droped but something like that they'll probably have a toggle for in options. [ July 30, 2001: Message edited by: C.H.A.S. ]
CaptainRAVE Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 Yea, i hope we get to play luke, like the special level in MOTS. I hope there is a way of unlocking the level like when you complete the game or something...or maybe by finding all the secrets. Originally posted by nykel: <STRONG>Did anyone notice? but in the E3 clip kyle's opponent drops her l.saber.

nykel007 Posted July 30, 2001 Posted July 30, 2001 Take a look at the viedo from viedogamegal, when kyle is fighting the other jedi. It is so subtle you don't see it, but look closely after kyle blocks it drops she runs and picks it up. It's amazing.
MadPoster Posted July 31, 2001 Posted July 31, 2001 Tehy didn;t show where I ran by and kicked it out of the way? Man- don't tell me i was cut out completly!
wardz Posted July 31, 2001 Posted July 31, 2001 Madposter, do you think you can edit your posts rather than post twice in such a short space of time? Could you shrink the sig slightly please also? I have asked everyone else, and you're next! cheers, wardz
Gabrobot1587246497 Posted July 31, 2001 Posted July 31, 2001 I don't remember that droping the saber thingy but it sounds like that would be cool, like in ESB where Vader smashes his saber down on Lukes so hard that Luke drops his saber. I'll have to watch the video again.
Gus Posted July 31, 2001 Posted July 31, 2001 Said it once i will say it again outcast will rule the galaxy.
Bartolo_JCS Posted July 31, 2001 Posted July 31, 2001 they should keep gravity the same for singlelayer maybe change the air resistance around like in Unreal Tournament but have an option to change gravity on multiplayer servers to throw in some laffs
acdcfanbill Posted July 31, 2001 Posted July 31, 2001 To: D. Davo, *(points at him) No more drugs for, that man! From:well, me, duh!
