L3onheart Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 I remember reading a thread around here about ppl wondering if there would be blood or not in JKII. Well, lookie at what I found: Yup that's blood alright. Enough blood to please anybody I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agen Posted February 20, 2002 Share Posted February 20, 2002 That was while they were still converting form Ghoul 2, some sof stuff was left in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[SICK]Vomit Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Yup, people like me are calling for blood. We don't care that it's in every other FPS, we want it in JK2 because us hardcore FPS's know reality!! And Excrement! Don't forget the poop! I mean it's not fair to leave out that reality! Yeah Baby!

Technically it'd be unrealistic for a lightsaber to show blood. It instantly cauterizes as it cuts. Same thing with blaster fire. That's why it was used, so that there was no blood in the movies. The only difference is in the Cantina scene. That's the only unforseen factor. Every other time there is no blood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 It does cauterize, but some wounds will still bleed (like when Maul was sliced in two, there was a fine spray of blood) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nimbus+ Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 It's blood, are you addicted to it? Reality should not be brought upon reality, they don't use metal bullets, save for the bow thing[memory lag]. They use lasers, if you want blood go cut yourself or somethin.

Redwing Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 That made no sense. In the Star Wars universe, people still have blood. We're debating accuracy to the Star wars universe here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 If you want to get technical, the Star Wars weapons are NOT laser based (except perhaps when it comes to laser targetting) even if they have "laser" in the title (turbolaser) or are incorrectly referred to as lasers by little kids ("laser sword"). Anyhow, there ARE metal bullets in this game, the FC gun, for example. Plus there's the issue of explosives.. these would "realistically" cause characters to bleed, and rip their bodies to shreds (can you say "gibblets"?). However, nobody is asking for that... it'll likely be as squeaky clean as Elite Force was (and they have even said so). Yes, the early builds had misty red blood in them, but it's been removed (oh well). Technically it'd be unrealistic for a lightsaber to show blood. It instantly cauterizes as it cuts. Same thing with blaster fire. That's why it was used, so that there was no blood in the movies. The only difference is in the Cantina scene. That's the only unforseen factor. Every other time there is no blood. Yup, that's why the official Star Wars CANON FILMS are unrealistic, because they show characters "unrealistically" bleeding from wounds inflicted by [fictional] weapons (lightsabers). (For references, see Cantina scene ANH; Maul's death, TPM; Wampa scenes, ESB; etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Blood is not really essential for realism. There, I said it. I compare MoH:AA to RtCW - one doesn't have blood, the other does. If anything, recreating the physics of blood spray takes away from the graphics to represent everything else. I didn't realize MoH:AA didn't have blood until well into the game - I think I read it somewhere ... not having it did *nothing* to impact the immersion into the game. JK2 is not SoF2 ... SoF prides itself on GORE. I would rather JK2 spend the polys and CPU/GPU cycles elsewhere ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agen Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 I compare MoH:AA to RtCW - one doesn't have blood It's too hard to tell if someone get's hit in that. They shouldn't have taken blood out. even a little squirt would ahve done fine just so u know that you hit them. Also in JK there wasn't much blood except when an arm flies off(not stormies tho, that's grey) But i really like gore and things in games and think it's sweet but the DF series proved to me blood isn't needed (but it should have been in when kyle punched the wall in DF and it took off his shield ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd much rather let kids play SoF or SoF 2 than the upcomming Running With Scissors title "Postal 2" (yes, it's the sequel to the very critizised & banned "Postal"). Personally, I don't care about blood in games, as long as they're still fun - eg maxed out saberfighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted February 22, 2002 Share Posted February 22, 2002 I'd just like an option such as in SOF, where you can disable blood/gore if you wish. A spray of blood now and then would be fine in my book...and as Terminator said, it helps for you to see when you've hit something. Up close...well, pain skins would do that job. I don't really think there should be exploding bodies in JKII. Leave that to SOF2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
