Syndrix Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 Actually Rancor, I thought exactly the same thing, and magazines have a notorious record for putting misleading captions on screen shots. The reason I thought they are binoculars, and in answer to you question, is that either one of the recent previews or maybe James's report from E3 said the classic star wars binoculars are avaliable in game. Complete with static lines. Hoorar. [ August 21, 2001: Message edited by: Syndrix ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpidahX1587246507 Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 Yeah, I remember in one of the Quakecon previews that they said that Kyle used some kind of binoculars to zoom on a ST that was sniping him and fragged him.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt-- Posted August 21, 2001 Author Share Posted August 21, 2001 Anyone notice the "security cam" caption? "As in JK..."I don't recall security cams in JK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wikedjedi Posted August 21, 2001 Share Posted August 21, 2001 im not sure if there were cams in jk, but they were in mots, but didn't look anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moses Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 There were cameras in MotS. They weren't ALL that useful, but somewhat I suppose. You could take them out or use them to your advantage. Just because this screenshot is of binocs doesn't mean that there couldn't be cameras in the game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowbieOne Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 Hey Chang Kahn, the end of your last post didn't go through. Would you mind re-posting? Come on, gimme something for originality! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kurgan Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 There were cams in JK, but I don't recall if the SP campaign actually made use of them outside cutscenes (has it been that long??). They were used extensively in user made levels though. The ones in MotS looked a bit nicer too, more like they were actual security cams, instead of just a different camera view for the screen. If you want to get technical, the 'nocks you see used in the SW movies are called "Macrobinoculars" and that would definately be cool to see in the game.

Guest ZeroXcape Posted August 22, 2001 Share Posted August 22, 2001 wardz: ouch, hehe. Fear not, JKII.net has begun sending probe driods over to Raven/LucasArts... hopefully something will turn up in the next month or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourwood Posted August 24, 2001 Share Posted August 24, 2001 Um..... where are the pics? Or am I just blind? The only link I see is to pcgamer.com and to the screenshots page. The SS page doesn't have any new shots from what I can see. Am I just... totally missing it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheJackal_jk2 Posted August 26, 2001 Share Posted August 26, 2001 I dont think it is a security camera. After all, the caption for the 2nd screenshot is all wrong. They seem to think the dark jedi is a guy with a pony tail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kurgan Posted August 26, 2001 Share Posted August 26, 2001 Yeah, I would take the captions as just the author of the article's opinion (or attempt to be cute ; ) ), not authoritative information about the game. That does look to me like the macrobinoculars from the movies (and identical to the ones used by Kyle in the JK cutscenes) and with Chang's comment, I think that pretty much settles it. ; ) Kurgan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JediKnight_114[b] Posted August 28, 2001 Share Posted August 28, 2001 Magazine spoiler 5 4 3 2 1 Now!!! Just got th mag today. Some really awsome screens there. Anyone catch the red mist coming from the stormie Kyle's slashing? Looks like blood, but not exactly SOF style. Also, in the best 50 PC games of all time, The Dark Forces series made #5, with Half Life #1. I would've preferred The Dark Forces series to be #1, but at least we got the top 5 right?

Lord_FinnSon Posted September 3, 2001 Share Posted September 3, 2001 I haven't seen those pics you are all talking about, but I guess this "red mist" might be the best way LucasArts can integrate blood in the SW game. It kinda reminds me of a scene from the end of TPM when Obi-Wan slashes Maul in half: red mist can be seen right after Obi-Wan's strike when Maul "groans" momently in agony and then falls to pit...
