[SWS]Strider Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 1 thing about it not being out for Mac users. That is not exactly true. Since Aspyr (a mac publishing company) has not said anything about it then LA will probably not either. Second, it is probably not being worked on yet, Mac versions tend to come out a few months later after the PC version is done. It is not going to be published by Raven so as of now they are probably nt aware anything. So to you PC users your no better than us.

Moses Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 I liked the part about the AI, especially Jedi AI. I particularly liked the part that talked about how Jedi have special "backstabs, flip-attacks, saber-locking, etc." moves. Mmm...what I wouldn't give for just a movie of a lightsaber fight. The holocron thing is cool too. I can definitely see "Everyone gang up on lightning!" in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhuf Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Spiffy! Now, Kenn, explain to us, what is saber-locking? A defensive move? Sounds like it might be the ability to attack in opposition or do yielding parries. Both of these fencing maneuvers feature sustained collision between your and the opponent's blades. Also what is the nature of this 'new scripting language' you've developed for outcast? Is this a client-side scripting language for issuing game commands? Holocron mode sounds somewhat like Heretic II deathmatch. Pick up a spell and use it against your foes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desslock Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Saberlocking is, I think, when two sabers collide and stay there for a bit. Its when you hear the contiuous sparking of both blades. I think you can see it when ObiWan Fights Darth in ANH and Im pretty sure its in Rotj, but am unclear on that. Have no idea how you'd initiate this. Attacking at the same time would happen to often. Holocron sounds cool, but are we going to have a huge holocron following us (Galatic Battlegrounds, size to jedi ratio) or will it be smaller than that? Also, can we force jump off the wall?

SlowbieOne Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 I could see saber locking happening say when both Jedi do the same forward lunge strike. I hope its not long either cause that could prove to slow down the pace a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sifl Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Hmm, so much great info! The saber stuff sounds awesome. I wonder what they mean by saber styles? That should really expand the saber combat variety, I bet... and i guess it makes sense, not everyone in the movies fights the same way. It'll be cool to try different styles against each other in MP! Saber-locking, hunh? I guess this is like in the movies where the two saber fighters will kind of push their sabers against each other and trade insults, etc. That should be cool! I've never seen that in any star Wars games before... have there been any with that? Did it work well? And the wall-jumps and wall runs and acrobatics sound like we'll be able to have as awesome saber fights as in Episode 1 (exept no saber staf, oh well... guess that's what the expansion is for!) And the back-stab sounds cool, too! I take it this is like what Darth Maul did to Qui-Gon? Heh heh hehhhh... *evil cackle* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember seeing that in any SW game before; only games with saber I haven't had a chance to try are Jedi Power Battles and Obi-Wan. Might be a cool way to stop your opponent momentarily, if his attacks are too aggressive and you are not sure how to beat him; kinda like having short break, so that you can catch your breath. Oh man, this is gonna be one of the most feature rich Star Wars games so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlowbieOne Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Painfully, when I think of saber-locking, I picture the sword-locking from Bushido Blade. For those who don't know, basically they get in each others faces pushing against each other, and you have to mash the buttons, whoever mashes fastest, gets the advantage. Not fun at all:( In fact, quite an annoying concept for videogames, I have always thought so. I pray they have something a little more intlelligent than button mashing planned for this. Thankfully, it's Raven at the driver's seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nykel007 Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Don't get me wrong Holocron sounds great, but to me it sounds a bit Quakeish. The running around killing someone else for what Force power they have sound a too flimilar. Mabye I'm wrong, man I hope I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemios Posted January 22, 2002 Share Posted January 22, 2002 Notice that tey are 3, like force powers, and we already know that there's a not active "force lightsabre" power. Maybe the 2 are related, so if you assign more stars (or whatever system will be) in multiplayer you'll be more able to block shots and to make more combos or moves, but have to sacrifice power for other force powers. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teemto Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 lock your lightsaber with other saber-wielding enemies. I hope that doesn't mean a Blade of Darkness kind of locking, where you would lock on to a target to fight... that sucked miraculously bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarScrap Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 Originally posted by Obi Kwan Sounds like the sabre system is gonna be great; not too complex so that none of us can control it but with enough variety to make for interesting duels!!! I too am wondering about the sabre styles... I dont think they will be "aggressive" or "defensive" like Terminator mentioned. It would be cool if it were like martial arts and there were actually three different methods, but i think its gonna end up being beginner, medium and advanced. I really really really hope it won't be different skill levels. That would defeat the purpose. I want them all to be equally useful in MP. I'm thinking something like agressive deffensive, but instead of middle-of-the-road have FAST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturmgewehr Posted January 23, 2002 Share Posted January 23, 2002 I think the "lock your lightsaber with other saber-wielding enemies" is a figure of speech. A pretty was of saying "You fight against other people with lightsabers in Singleplayer". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
