G.P LeChuck Posted August 22, 2001 Posted August 22, 2001 LucasArts have screwed up! BigTime! Why, this looks like something from...1995! Take a LOOK at these! Can you believe this!?! Didn't LEC say that they canned the game for the PC because the graphics were too advanced for a PC to run??
bsbuckeye21 Posted August 22, 2001 Posted August 22, 2001 They might look a little better when they add some lighting (they better do that), but it'll still look not so hot. And you're topic is misleading. I thought you meant that "THIS the game" was referring to JK2. Good thing you post made more sense than your topic though.
Guest ZeroXcape Posted August 22, 2001 Posted August 22, 2001 At least we have Jedi Knight II Rogue Leader @ GameCube > Obi-Wan @ Xbox
Wilhuf Posted August 22, 2001 Posted August 22, 2001 To be fair, these pics, including the faucet-head guy, look a little better than something we were playing in 1995 (e.g., Dark Forces 1). Kind of dissapointing that this runs at only 30 FPS though.
Guest Krayt Tion Posted August 22, 2001 Posted August 22, 2001 Yep, definitely knocked down a notch after the consolization (yes I am still calling X-Box a console). We would not have wanted that on our 'multiple-user system requirements are too hard!' PCs.
wardz Posted August 22, 2001 Posted August 22, 2001 look at that "lightsaber" its tiny, more like a lightdagger. oh well, its all worked out now. wardz
Guest Kurgan Posted August 22, 2001 Posted August 22, 2001 These remind me of the "first" released pics of Obi-Wan from '99? They were low poly and had little or no lighting effects, etc. Didn't look that exciting... Kurgan
Darth Simpson Posted August 22, 2001 Posted August 22, 2001 Obi-Wan is looking more and more like a 3D version of Jedi Power Battles. *sigh*
OnlyOneCanoli Posted August 22, 2001 Posted August 22, 2001 No excuse for those pics. They are teh suck.
acdcfanbill Posted August 23, 2001 Posted August 23, 2001 has a brain embalism... (wonder what an brain embalism is???) anyway, i think LEC shot their left foot when they moved obiwan to the xbox... whadda dumb mistake...
GonkH8er Posted August 23, 2001 Posted August 23, 2001 i disagree. i think it was a good mistake. we may not have seen jk2 at all, or at least not for a while if obiwan hadnt gone x
StormHammer Posted August 23, 2001 Posted August 23, 2001 I agree with GonkH8r. Reading between the lines in some of the earlier JK2 interviews, I don't think JK2 was planned at all until Obi-Wan moved to the Xtinct-Box. To be totally honest, they were absolutely right about moving it to X-Box due to the graphics - I wouldn't want that low level of detail cluttering up my super-flat 19 inch monitor. I can hardly believe it only runs at 30fps. There seems to be something wrong with that, I think. Anyway, I'll wait to see the final version of the game before passing judgement. I haven't totally ruled out getting an Xtinct-Box sometime in the future - if my eldest son (4 years) desperately wants one. But I'll be sticking to my PC, and immersing myself in the superior-looking JK2...
G.P LeChuck Posted August 23, 2001 Author Posted August 23, 2001 HA! They shot themselves in both feet! And their hands! And their heads! Obi-Wan looks SOOO sucky!
Guest Krayt Tion Posted August 23, 2001 Posted August 23, 2001 Not really, if the X-Box garners decent sales I'll bet Ob*-W*n will still sell well. A common theory is that if Simon J took a dump in a box and slapped on the Star Wars name it would still sell well. They could call it Star Wars: Attack of the Poodoo.
Guest Sherack Nhar Posted August 25, 2001 Posted August 25, 2001 Hey, it's good to see all the OWK.netters posting under the same topic... brings back memories... I can't believe I once looked forward to that game. Who's the lead designer?? I thought Shaw wasn't on the project anymore. Whoever he is, he should write a book titled "How to ruin a design idea: A quick lesson in 10 steps!"
Zorro Posted August 28, 2001 Posted August 28, 2001 It looks as if they have transformed Obi-Wan into a trendy playstation game that requires no skills no thinking - all you have to do is run about and swing your saber mindlessly... what a mess.
Obi Kwan Posted August 28, 2001 Posted August 28, 2001 On the x-box site it has Obi-Wan slated for a winter 2001 release. Not that I care, but I thought it was originally set to be released at the launch.
ed_silvergun Posted August 29, 2001 Posted August 29, 2001 Yeah, Gonk and StormHammer are right... we wouldn't have got JK II if Obi-Wan hadn't moved to the XBox. The project was only green-lighted in February, Obi-Wan was cancelled back in November. And yeah, I'd really like to know who Galactic Plumberman actually is.
