Halowse Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 There are reflective surfaces in the DEMO, (and in the LucasArts screenshots), but there are none in the real game. There are TONS of things that blow up or can be cut with your lightsabre in the DEMO, but almost none in the real game. There are PATROLLING stormtroopers in the DEMO, but they almost always are just standing around in the real game. There are no illogical jumping puzzles in the DEMO, but they are featured heavily in the real game. What is the deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deetox187 Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Isn't this an old level that they showed at E3? if so then obviously they decided to change a bunch of things, for better or for worse i dunno. I can sorta understand why they left out the reflective surfaces cause that REALLY bogs down the framerate, i could only imagine how bad it would get if you had to fight 20 stormtroopers in a reflective room. Although i still think they could have worked it into the game in a few spots just for show, oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrickj64_ak Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 well heck.....isn't there a reflective floor in the new patch...i played the one map were you are in a bay with a bunch of boxes and the floor was done very good. so now i would assume that if it is in a new map, that you could use same floor for making otheres....

waxdart Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Just finished the demo. Short level, but sweet. The duel at the end was a nostalgic treat -- I'd forgotten how much I'd enjoyed SP saber battles (which still feels a bit more finessed than the post-patch MP stuff, but that's for another thread). It's silly, but that reflective floor really makes for some pretty fighting. When it was over, I figured I'd keep playing the room with the standard npc spawn commands. Try them -- they're fairly funny. Spawning Tavion launches what appears to be the Tavion AI (red saber included) but in a stormtrooper model/skin. Pretty funny seeing "Hey! You there!" doing the butterfly/cartwheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlet Widow Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Deetox187, i'd like to know where everyone else is getting it from...wouldn't it be on a LucasArts server? i don't really have the nerve to test it as it could very well be a virus....

seanconnery Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Things that can be cut up/blown up - crate in the first level, the statues and pillars on the last level, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i got it from that link and it's the demo, just played through it. I wouldn't have posted a link to a virus, but even if it was what are you worried about? don't you have an antivirus program? if you do then theres no need to be so paranoid.

NerfYoda Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 On the topic of the lack of reflective surface in the game: IIRC I heard a Raven fellah saying it was one of those eye candy things that caused a huge performance drop, that's possibly why we see it in a smaller duel level only. Oh yeah and there is such a thing as never bieng too paranoid on the unfriendly ol' Internet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leagle Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 There are plenty stormies patrolling. There are also many guarding things. There are plenty breakable things -wave your saber around a bit next time. (Saber throw goes through some things you usually couldn't standing. Try pulling glass.) Reflective surfaces... Yeah, there is about 1 in the whole game. Unfortunate, as my computer can handle things like that now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zindell Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 haha the demo even explains why the stormtroopers can't hit anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSA_Mitth_ Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 maybe the Demo is a way to 1.04 ??? i wouldnt mind though ... i was hoping for some massive lightsaber battles on reflecting floors ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leagle Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 Originally posted by Zindell haha the demo even explains why the stormtroopers can't hit anything. Like the 1st bit of cairn bay, the stormie pair patrolling says that they will receive new weapons, and their happy because theirs are rather unreliable. Also another conversation goes somewhere along the lines of "my blasters rubbish it won't hit anything" "you're just crap". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I downloaded it from an email sent by lucasarts it uses the GIGEX download. I use Nortons anti-virus which scans the file while downloading and I also scanned the finished file not a trace of a virus just make sure you download it from either lucasarts or anyone of the servers they recommend. If you use a P2P application (morpheus or Kazaa) then you might have to worry since you don't know who your getting that file from but again if you have an Anti-virus program with an updated definition file you should not have to worry.

B0MBER II Posted May 10, 2002 Share Posted May 10, 2002 If you spawn Luke or Desann in the demo, they will look like their holding light sabers but they aren't plus their both Stormtroopers, Desann being a tad bigger of the two... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"What for?" "What are you kiddin' me you can't hit anything with these, look the shots just go everywhere!" Ah it's all gold, the stormtrooper conversations in this game are awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
