JPMaximilian Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 I found this snippit today from the Fragoff.net website: "In old pictures of storm troopers losing limbs I saw blood, in recent shots I didn't see any blood. Is the blood an option or has it been removed from the game completely? There will be no blood in Jedi Outcast. The blood in the early screenshots was there because we were moving the GHOUL2 modeling system over from Soldier of Fortune II." This might be old news to some of you, but what do you think about the no blood policy of LucasArts and No Blood In Jedi Outcast? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sithcloak Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 It will make my parents not regret buying the game ... as much. And i don't like blood. Sithcloak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrUeFoRcE Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 blood better be in there....it adds realism to all games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNNER Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 There wasn't blood in the other jedi knight games so why start now. They might get a break on the rating if they don't show blood, better rating means more youngsters will buy it which in turn means more cash..

SL_Ki-Adi-Mundi Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 The blood can be a nice effect in some games (Medal of Honor anyone?), but's just not an SW thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graphicsgod Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 I don't see the reason for completely no blood. But a little never hurt anybody . I know if it's turned off, I'll just have to turn it on again (*cough* /cg_gibs *cough*) in the console . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moses Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 The only time I recall blood in the movies was on Luke's face during the Cloud City fight and a brief shower when Darth Maul got sliced through. I don't think it takes away from the game if blood isn't in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNNER Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 Maybe it has to do with the fact that LA is kind of a family oriented place. SW is something the family can enjoy,there might be violence but the lack of blood tames it down some what. That's my guess anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uber_Saber Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 There was blood when Obi-wan sliced the alien's arm off in the Cantina in ANH. Besides, I don't like gory games. The no blood thing is for younger players, or those of us who don't like blood and gore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSM_FETT-fragof Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 i personally dont need blood in every game i play. jk2 will be one of them that i dont need blood to enjoy the full game. and for all you fans of blood and want blood in jk2, are you really looking for the blood in the game? i mean i myself am more concered with how the game plays and how much i enjoy it. so im not dissapointed that the blood isnt in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan12R Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 Is blood really that important? I'd perfer it without. If I kill the enemy, seeing him fall to the ground is good enough. I'm not a big fan of bloody games. It would drive me insane if every game I played had blood. So I'm in favor of no blood. However, I did enjoy being able to slice the arms off the Storm Troopers in JK. It was an interesting addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNNER Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 I can imagine that when this baby finally hits the shelves the last thing most of us will be worrying about is wether or not there is blood. Just give us the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[TE]DarthBob Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 It would be stupid to have blood in this game. I quit playing Doom as I reach the later levels when the stupid blood, torso's and pentagrams became more obvious. What an asinine distraction from a great gaming engine. I gave Quake a quick demo but the same lame blood, pentagons where still there with Zombies added in bad taste. So I threw in the towel and voweled never to play a FPS game again. I then I heard about a game from Raven called Star Trek Voyager Elite Force. Basically the multi player matches take place in a holoroom, and when you are fragged, you're teleported out and back in. I hope the basic principle is carried over in JK2. Um, not the Holomatch thing as that would cause trouble with you SW die hards. If you want blood, go find any of the other FPSs that support it. I like to think we are above that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya Darth. We should want to play it because it's SW and a new adventure in the Kyle stories, not because we want to see blood splashing out of someones head.

Lt. Durden Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 When you slice through someone with a lightsaber, the heat from the blade cauterizes (sp?) the wound, hence why there is no blood, only smoke (I.E- the little smoke puffs when you chop off a stormtroopers arm in JK, or the fact that lukes hand was cut off blood free {convenient for lucas too}). Lasers do the same thing mostly (smoky hole where guards were shot in Star Wars during the jailbreak scene). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lunatic Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 A game like Medal Of Honor needs blood. That game was aiming for a more realistic approach to presenting WW2, yet they occluded blood. Medal Of Honor is loosely based on the reality of War and blood is a big part of war. Jedi Knight never had blood, it never needed blood. It won't bother me at all in Jk2 that there is no blood. There is rarely blood in Star Wars movies so i see no reason to put it in the game. Could people please stop associating realism with Star Wars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Com Raven Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 JK definitely needs no blood, and somebody said it would add to realism.... Sure, it would be as realistic as aliens, luightsabers, and so on.... Bull.... And MoH is realistic enough, even with no blood..... Screaming, explosions, dirt fontaines, all these things are more realistic to me than blood and gore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxale Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 I would like to see some Blood if i cut limbs .... But Bloodpools were a bit to extreme !! #sigh# the movie is comin soon !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Lunatic Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 You want blood? You gotta get Soldier of Fortune 2 then. I wouldnt be surpirsed if that gets banned here in Australia. They banned Grand Theft Auto 3. Is it true games cannot have an R rating here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrEEpaGe Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 nahh....i went for jk for the weapons, unique gameplay, force powers and such...i wanted blood for jk1 as well, but that was way back in 97..heh... i want jk2 mainly b/c of gameplay, but i would like blood..it just makes it better....i dont care how well it sells this is just what i would like in a game heh..... ill probably be switching b/w it and ut2 anyway, once i get my geforce4 ti4400 (or 4200 if i cant get nuff money) heh...

ZeroXcape Posted February 6, 2002 Share Posted February 6, 2002 Anyone working with the Star Wars license knows that blood/violence doesn't mix with the SW universe. Sure people lose body parts and sometimes get stabbed with a saber... but everything is kept PG-13. I really don't think it'll take away from the game because a good percentage of people we fight are mechanical anyway. Besides... when I want gore.. I'll load SOFII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
