The New AT-ST

[Philbo]

Anyone who has played Jedi Knight or Mysteries Of The Sith knows what the AT-STs looked like in those. Upright, tall, sort of dog-like in ways. They looked basically just like in Return Of The Jedi

 

But in Jedi Outcast...

 

 

Just exactly have they done to these things? The top (or "head" if that's what you consider it to be) seems all distorted, and if you go to the LucasArts Jedi Knight page and look at the models, you'll it from a side perspective. They look so much different. It's like a nightmare! I don't know why, but I just don't like the looks of it.

[Philbo]

Oops. Sorry about the screen problem.

 

Just go here.

[Omne]

It looks very nice to me. Better than the old.

We all do - that's why he made the 'oops' post.

 

And I don't know what you're complaining about, Philbo, I think it looks great

[oninosensi]

It looks cool, although the distortion could be perspective.

[StarScrap]

Like Oninosensi said, it's all in the perspective.

 

In that picture the camera is almost below the "head". That's why the guns look like they point up, and why it looks so weird.

 

If you can get past that and envision it from a different angle it's actually quite nice (I especially like the design of the legs. I don't know if I'm remembering wrong, but do they go back from the "head" in JK?)

I like this version of the AT-ST. As the others said, it's a matter of perspective. I think they've made it more to scale this time, so it's a bit taller, which is why you are mostly seeing the underside, and that's how it should be. I hope it moves more realistically as well...and that includes the speed. I wonder if it will use a wider turn this time, rather than simply turning on the spot? Of course, what would be really effective is if it has some kind of spotlight, so it can hunt you in the dark.

I say it looks extremly good. The high detail, it's size this is how a AT-ST sopose to looks like. It doesn't look like a mech as someone said, but an AT-ST.

[Rogue15]

It's a heavy version of the AT-ST. there's 3 versions, light, medium, and heavy. Light is seen in esb, medium is seen in Return of the Jedi. I think it looks good, it better fire some concussion grenades.

[CaptainRAVE]

Looks amazing in my opinion. I love the detail of those guns . I hope it moves more realistically than it does in JK.

[Lord_FinnSon]

Hopefully fighting againts it will be much harder and more realistic than in JK or MotS, where you just strike AT-ST again and again with your lightsaber until it falls down and a pilot comes out; maybe it could just crush down with wrecked hull killing the pilot inside or sometimes even explode. Other thing that comes to mind would be the possibility to climb on board(after you have Force jumped above the command pod and turned up the hatch). It is already confirmed that you can't drive vehicles in JK2, but it would at least add another dimension to the exploration, when seeing one of those crafts from inside(maybe even using its weaponry momentarily).

[StephenG]

good idea. i think if it falls on u you should be crushed under its weight.

[Vagabond]

Ya, and maybe if it steps on a log it should fall down and blow up

[Bartolo_JCS]

ya and maybe it should look like this

Yes, AT-STs are especially vulnerable to Ewok Logs™. Almost as vulnerable as Stormtrooper Armor is to tossed Ewok Rocks™.

 

AT-ST looks great. True to the films. Hopefully a bit tougher than in ROTJ.

 

BTW why didnt LEC ever make an 'Imperial Walkers' 3d FPS game where you could outfit, drive and combat with all kinds of different AT-ATs, AT-STs, AT-PTs, etc. Something like Mechwarrior4, but Star Wars based. Would have been a lot of fun...

[Rogue15]

only place where u can really drive an atst is in rogue squadron...

LOL

 

I remember that Rogue15

the code is chicken isnt it?

[Antilles]

I don't think Imperiel Mech can be played as Mech4....it's much to weak, and slow(How can u turn a ATAT?)

 

But to drive Vehicle in JK2 will be great!...Like in Rogue 1 and also Battle for Naboo - which u can "drive" speeders - .....there is chasing level in Shadow of the Empire, SW racer, .....and in Indiana Jones(which is made by LUcas too), u can drive Jeep, too.

[GonkH8er]

no drivable vehicles in jk2 unfortunetely.

BEEP! Wrong!

 

Star Wars Demolition...

[Lord_FinnSon]

And look what kind of game that ended up being! In the end Raven's decision to not include drivable vehicles is understandable, but little interaction with some crafts surely doesn't hurt the game. It just makes the whole imaginative world much more real and believable.

[Lord_FinnSon]

This whole exploration issue aside from possible fight againts that AT-ST fascinates me! Remember, when you saw immobile transports like AT-AT and Millenium Falcon in JK & MotS: they seemed to hint that you could check them from inside, but never kept their promises. If done right in JK2, this could possibly spawn interesting mini-levels where you go on board AT-AT, for example, fight againts stormtroopers who are waiting deployment in their (Backpack charger) benches and after that use its powerful weaponry to take out upcoming reinforcement troops that are sent out to stop you.

[C.H.A.S.]

I too think it looks very good. where did you get that pic

[Toa Tahu]

to me that AT-ST looks fine,better than the one at Lv13 of JK.Anyway,I don't know where in JK you will fight a AT-ST,but,as far as I know,the AT-ST in JK is invulnerable.I tried destroying one of the feets,and it didn't even crack,or groan at all!
