En Taro Taldarin Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 Another thing I noticed, is that before the R2 unit was destroyed, but after it had taken hits, electricity realistically splayed out all over it. Also, I noticed, whenever Kyle was using force push, his hand appeared to glow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancor Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 Man it was hard to see that glass breaking. Maybe if they had a better texture on it it would either look more realistic or just stand out a bit better? As for those flashes, they seemed a bit annoying in the video clip, but I'm wondering if that isn't just the recording device? I've seen similar things happen with my dads camcorder. If you just point it from a dark corner to a bright window while recording and it looks really, really bad for a second while the device auto compensates for the rapid change in brightness levels. I guess until we see it in person, it'll be hard to tell how it really looks. The saber glow on the floor doesn't really bother me that much. If anyting, maybe it just needs to be a bit fainter?

matt-- Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 The glass isn't textured(i think). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancor Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 Nah, if you look at the still hi-res screenshots of the stormie getting pushed through the glass, you can see a faint texture on it. Yeah, I just checked the screenshot again and there is a texture on it. But I suppose since we can't see it before it breaks, maybe it already has that texture on it.

Syndrix Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 I was just wondering if the saber throw is a force power. Everyone has assumed so because it was in MoTS, but if you listen to the guy he says they added it so you didnt have to switch back to guns all the time. He points out you could only slash with it and added this feature to make you feel more like a jedi in the environment. Notice he refers to it as a "feature" not a force power. I'm wondering if this is just a secondary distance attack of it and not a force power at all, just a thought..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancor Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 I thought that someone in an earlier post detected the force power going down when you threw it. I'd have to check the video again to make sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewie_Rips Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 yes the saber throw is a force power, and aparently uses 10 force points to use it. Also, I belive someone mentioned a metal object in Kyles hand( @ 2:20 )apear after throwing his saber upwards towards the top of the platform. However, if you look close, you will see that it's actualy a bridge that falls down,giving him access to a door way of the central port. Looks like he used his saber to acitivate the bridge, or to break whatever it was that was holding the bridge. Expect to have use the saber throw in order to acitvate unreachable switches, etc, or when solving puzzles. Lets just hope it doesn't get over used, as its a great feature. Also, if you noticed force lighting on the stormie actually brought him too his knees, and he clinched his neck in a strangling response to the lighting, just like it did to Luke. Also, did you see the effects of the electricity running through the body of the dark jedi, even a few seconds after it was actually hit.....just a few small extra's .....Thanks guys!

Rancor Posted June 13, 2001 Share Posted June 13, 2001 Ah cool, I checked the force lightning effect a bit closer and it looks like there are tendrils that shoot off the body and attach to the floor and stuff. Agreed, there are lots of nice little touches in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
