Bartolo_JCS Posted June 2, 2001 Share Posted June 2, 2001 that's cuz the first stormtrooper is Luke skywalker hehe, I like that screenshot though reminds me of Dark Forces I the door and the imperial emblem above. Can't wait till they finish this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted June 2, 2001 Share Posted June 2, 2001 I think the key problem with the Stormtroopers is the helmet. I think it's a little too large for the body, and it's too squared off at the bottom. It needs to be smaller, and tapered more. Other than that, the Stormtroopers are fine, IMO. As for the second shot, looks to me like Kyle just cut the head off that Probe Droid. I reckon he just used saber throw to decapitate that piece of Imperial junk! I like the pieces of debris flying off with the smoke trails. And the lightning around the Droid's body is simply superb - very reminiscent of R2 getting fried in the films...hehe... And these are from a game only a few months old? If they do some tweaking and polishing, I think JKO is going to be a real blast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azlon_Tir Posted June 2, 2001 Share Posted June 2, 2001 I saw the video clip of the gameplay and I can tell you, Though the saber trail looks odd in the screenshots, It looks !@#$ing AWSOME in motion! The trail in the screens are like that because of how fast he's moving, the screenshots cant capture the way it blurs. The stormies do look a little too round but im sure they will get better. What I really thought was cool was how in the video the stormies seemed to appear as if they were jumping through some sort of portal (ie: Stargate) it was really cool. The speed and animation in the game reminds me of the PC version of Obi Wan, very fast and with alot more saber moves. This thing looks GRRRRREAT!!!!!!!!

Guest Krayt Tion Posted June 2, 2001 Share Posted June 2, 2001 It is also my impression that it is the stormie head which is out of proportion with the rest of it's body. Azlon_Tir has an important point with the saber trails- the saber tells a much different story when it is standing still then when it is in motion. Having screenshoted the movement of sabers and sabertrails throughout a large number of games and their mods, I can say that while the saber is moving you will not be notcing effects of the saber like you did in the screenshot. The saber should be moving too fast for your eye to clock distinct shapes of the saber trails. In closer examination of screenshots I have taken of various in-game sabers I have noticed things that looked quite odd but when the saber is moving I couldn't see any of them; it is the end effect of the saber in motion that is important. And yes I have seen the JK2 video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magnus1587246491 Posted June 2, 2001 Share Posted June 2, 2001 With the risk of getting the hole forum against me, I still say that the shoulders and arms are out of proportion. As for the difference between things in motion and standstill, I think that applies to about anything. Everything will look a lot better when you move around. But frankly... will you pay attention to every little detail when the laser blasts are whizzing and the legions are attacking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ed_silvergun Posted June 2, 2001 Share Posted June 2, 2001 I think the two stormtroopers in the foreground of the picture seem out of proportion because they are walking up a slope. If you look at the ones in the background, standing straight upright, they seem far more in proportion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runab0ut Posted June 3, 2001 Share Posted June 3, 2001 well, still... the stormtroopers should be skinny people and based on the SW screenshot theyre all skinny. yeah... the helmet's too big too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Thrawn Posted June 3, 2001 Share Posted June 3, 2001 The screenshot with the stomrtroopers looks a lot like Dark Forces, so I guess they're going back to their roots in this one. They've even gone back to using the blaster rifle from DF, instead of JK. If this is after ROTJ, you would think they would use the model from JK, since using one from DF makes it look like the time before ANH. Ah well, small detail. I like it either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
