Swoosh Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 Hey guys, check out the main page for a new shot! JediknightII.net Swoosh
ESE_SithEmperor Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 Boy I tell you what thats a really kick ass picture!
Agen Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 ahem... i e-mailed yous 10 minutes ago with that. where's my credit!!!!
Zodiac Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 Cool! They have mirrors in the levels!! Maybe we can now hope for some kind of Bruce Lee "Enter The Dragon" mirror room...
Kx_Dra_Sycdan Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 The way they textured those pillars looks bad (not cool bad, but not good) stacked bricks/stones tend to not bend like that.
Roger Posted February 22, 2002 Posted February 22, 2002 If you look closely at the "mirror" image, it's not mirrored. Also, the wall texture looks bad... I hope they fix that texture to a smaller brick or something... don't know... I don't like it...
rolsen Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 I have two possible theories: 1) This is just a shot from multiplayer, and two people both choosed Kyle as their model. 2) This is a shot from singleplayer and Kyle is on a "vision quest" similar to when Luck went into the cave to face Vader on Dagobah in The Empire Strikes Back.

Eternity Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 It's the boss that Raven was hinting about, of course. Like, duh. He has to battle a clone of himself. ..... IF that's right, it would be pretty cool.
Zx2 Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 Cool! They have mirrors in the levels!! 'tis not a mirror my friend, otherwise the "reflection's" lightsaber would be on his right side (the same side kyle's saber is on) its obviously another player i doubt that its a clone of kyle though.... that level doesnt look like it would be a very good lvl to fight a boss in i'd say the shot is most likely from an mp game....
Qel Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 One word...W:DW Have a question though....can u turn the lightsaber on and off while still in 3rd person perspective??? ..or is it like JK where the saber turns off when u change weapon? It would be cool to have the option to turn it on and off while in 3rd person... Qel
Zodiac Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 In JK you CAN turn it off and still have 3d-view, just press your F1 key to toggle between internal and external view (Even with Saber retracted) and it's not a mirror? aah too bad. oh well.. has a 3d fps-game ever had a mirror? JK didnt have mirrors.. Half Life and CS and Q didnt have mirrors either.. I recon mirrors are real hard to create..
GUNNER Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 Looks nice to me... Did you guys see the featured screen at the top of the page. The colors look great.
Swoosh Posted February 23, 2002 Author Posted February 23, 2002 Quake 3 has mirrors, so JKII could potentially have mirrors as well. Kinda a novelty more than anything...but cool nonetheless. Swoosh
Jedi Howell Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 q3 has mirrors...EF had one, in the lunch level... jh
Graphicsgod Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 Roger, has a point. If it were mirriored Kyle would be flipped so that the sabre would be on the other side along with his shoulder pad. I think He's fighting a clone of himself (episode V anyone). No Zodiac, mirrors are just graphic intensive. Think about it. With a mirror in a level, it has to render everthing twice (when the player looks into it of course ). Now crank up the res. to the max, with tripple buffer and 2x or 4x AA, and you better hope you have a good system to run that! Mirrors don't effect frame rate (too much) if they are kept small and in low lag areas (ie. no action going on). Thats why FPS have very few mirrors and are usually in a closet/bathroom or in small sized rooms with very little going on.
Jedi_Knight_UK Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 I don't think it is a mirror , for reasons that have already been pointed out. Multiplayer is plausable. There are to little things I would like to add: 1) If you remember back to MotS they had 'FORCE PROJECTION' , maybe they are reviving this force power???? 2)The thing about it being a 'CLONE' , They already did that in MotS and it SUCKED royally. I think they would'nt even attempt that stunt again. Really looking forward to it. Pre-Ordered my copy in December! Everyone seen the PC GAMER UK video and review, it absolutely ROCKS!!!! Still trying to find the 'Dark side' Box?
Guest X-Vector Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 I've studied the picture for a bit and I'm still not sure. As pointed out, if this is a mirror shot then Kyle's image is mirrored incorrectly (saber side, model stance, wall and floor textures). At the same time, the floor seems to slant and 'deslant' from the exact origin of where the mirror would be (i.e. the two player models do not appear to be in the same horizontal plane), also it would be hard to explain the small gap between the two 'sheets' of wall that stand between both Kyles if not for the mirror theory. Am I seeing ghosts here?
The Bothan Spy Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 Hi guys, this is my first post!!! Glad someone else noticed that it wasn't a mirror!! No-one over at the Jedi-Outcast.com forums seemed to have noticed this - now I know where the INTELLIGENT people go to discuss JK2. Another FPS with a mirror - AvP (the original one - first level) Another thing I've noticed, is that Kyle's saber hilt is different to the one he has in most of the recent screenshots. In this pic. he has a big chunky one that was in the screenshot with the green lakey thing - it looks a bit like Obi-Wan's from Ep1 (urrgh!). Does that mean this picture isn't "new" new??? Also, could you tell me how you all have customised pictures underneath your names, how do I do that??
CaptainRAVE Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 Maybe hes seeign a vision. I dont think its a mirror because of those two pieces that look like a frame. However, they cant be a frame because the reflection continues either side of them. This sure is a weird shot
Agen Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 Still i get no credit for e-mailing the bloody thing
CaptainRAVE Posted February 23, 2002 Posted February 23, 2002 I've done it before and you wont get credit. I've forgotten the reason, but you just dont.

I dont think its a mirror because of those two pieces that look like a frame. It's not a frame, you're probably confused by the angle of view (close to 90º) in relation to the more distant of the two sidewalls.
