Thx, now THIS are the screenshots! They're great. There's completely new lighting (at last shown levels are completed:)). On the older screenshots enemies seemed flat as there was no lighting... now it lookes OK, my guess is they even cast shadows (screen 3). The most interesting is the second screen as it's probably the first true outdoor shot :), and it's cool. I woul say monumental, just in JK style. BTW: what are those "missiles" flying over Kyle's head?

Again, lovely lighting, and some very nice texturing.

Can see that the force meter is the blue one on the right hand side. it goes up again and is full by the time they take the 2nd screenshot, after the saber throw.

 

 

 

 

 

very, very nice.

 

 

thanks for the heads up.

Very nice screenshots there. From the size of the HUD, I reckon they're captured in about 800x600 resolution. Wonder what they look like in high res!!!

 

In both the first and fourth shots, the saber seems to distort perfectly as it moves through the air. These pictures look like they were taken straight from a Star Wars film. I love that outdoor shot... the architecture and the whole open-air environment pays homage to the look of JK without ripping it off.

 

My only slight concern is that the HUD may be a little too obtrusive. If I am to suspend my disbelief while I play through a game and become really absorbed in it, I like to be as unaware of the interface as possible. Having said this, if these shots are indeed taken in 800x600 as I suspect they are, the HUD should appear considerably smaller in higher resolutions.

 

All in all, though, I can't believe how the screenshots keep getting better and better. I've just been trying out the demo of Allied Assault, which has to be one of the most polished and slick games I've ever played. I'm pleased to say that with these latest screens, JK II is starting to look just as smooth and, well, finished as EA's soon-to-be-classic.

 

A big thumbs up, Raven!

agen, you could get up to 200 in JK, but if you had say 145 shields the inner layer of the 'shields' would be fully lit but the outter layer would only be partially lit.

 

in that screenshot, katarn has 100 shields, but both layers are apparently fully lit up.

That's strange, I think the opposite is true.

The first thing that struck me about that open air shot is that it really isn't very "open" - awfully boxed in is a better description (I also resent that the rock walls remind me of RTCW, but that's a more personal issue I guess).

To me it's the least JK alike shot of the five.

Not that one screenshot matters, it's just a small part of scenery and should in no way be considered as representative of the look of the whole game.

 

I like the first shot a lot better, because of the darkness and because of the way the lightsaber casts its hue on the stormtrooper.

 

The third one is OK too, again because of the reflective lighting (with the stairlights being the source this time).

 

Still not even close to jaw-droppinga all in all, but I have a feeling still shots don't really do the game justice (do they ever?) - I need to experience this in motion and with John Williams' majestic score in the background to recreate the ol' magic.

All the screen shots are great but I think judging by 4+5 there is some updating to be made regarding the FAQs I found this at the question "What Force powers are available?

Confirmed Force powers are: Jump, Push, Confuse, Heal, Speed, Lightning, Knock, Choke, and Pull. Kyle will also be able to throw his saber and retrieve it via the Force No word yet on weather this actualy uses Force stanima " screenshot four shows him throw his saber :saberb: shot five he lost stanima.

First of all, I'm sorry Gonk, I couldn't resist :D ...and no offence meant - you sounded so much like him!

 

Anyone who has seen Lawrence Llewelyn Bowen on tv will understand this, and should read the quote as if being said by him... those who haven't should be suitably confused :D

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

You sound just like Mr Bowen, Gonk! (He's a UK Interior Designer that does makeovers of ppls houses on tv)

 

You're not related to him, are you?

j/k

 

I dunno if he's known anywhere other than the UK... is he?
