Spaceball_One Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 since realism seems to be the thing thats going around now... you know, COUNTER STRIKE this, COUNTER STRIKE that, and since everyone is making a real big deal about the new advanced AI (which i am very excited for... a real challenge i hope) i have this question to ask: FOOTSTEPS: will they be something that both you (in multiplayer) and the computer AI (in single player) can "play off of"? in COUNTER STRIKE, when me and my bud play one-on-one at his house (he has 2 comps networked) we really pay attention to the footsteps cause we can tell where the other is coming from... and we really integrate the WALK key into our strategy, cause it silences the noise. another game the integrates footsteps, and this goes for computer AI in single player, is METAL GEAR SOLID. enemies hear you when you run around too fast (or see your footprints... but i don't think that will be put into JK) and call backup just cause they know you're there (they don't even wait to see you!!). i think that this will totally one-up the already killer AI. i really hope that RAVEN has put this "LOUD FOOTSTEPS / WALKING" thing into OUTCAST, or if not, i hope that its not too late to consider it!! i think it will greatly add to the "espionage" bit that they've been talking about... and will make the game all the more challenging, interesting, fun, AND realistic!

Lord Slart Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 I don't know about this as I think those games are more geared towards stealth but in JO it will be more of a neat SP level or two and not influence the whole game as much. MGS2 is designed to be played as stealth it's part of the game makeup and it's one of Snakes specialties. Plus adding Footsteps awarness to AI would be a lot to ask for with Storm Troopers as they're not smart enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minimaul Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 In quake 3 , you can hear people jumping and stuff. And it's based off the q3 engine. So I'm guess there will be something like that. I know in UT you can hear people comin' . Picking up weapons , switching weapons Ect. I think it's like that in JK too. Most games are like that now. I bet JKO will be left out.

ZeroXcape Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 speaking of footsteps... i hope they leave blood tracks like in GTA3. ... wait, this isn't the SOFII forum is it? back to the starwars universe :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[SWS]Strider Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 On the Elite Force stealth missions if you didn't walk, then the AI would hear you. So I think it will work out the way you want. Strider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Com Raven Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 I think Strider is right, there was lots of talking about sneaky missions .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarScrap Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 My guess is it will be put in somehow. Not only do other games have it (MGS2, Deus Ex), but they had a lot of talk about gearing it towards sneaky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agen Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 I think it will.... could be handy for obi-wan type sneaking in ep.4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_FinnSon Posted January 24, 2002 Share Posted January 24, 2002 Well, you can do that with Jedi Mind Tricks, and didn't they also talk about Force Knock(can't remember is it confirmed as one of the powers, but at least older previews talked about it)...
