Guest Darth Wart Posted August 14, 2000 Share Posted August 14, 2000 Current projected ship date is October 3rd, not September 26, as everybody has been saying. And let me say to LucasArts (if you're really shadowing this board, as we have reason to believe): if the delay is due to general refinement and code tweaking, nobody minds! ------------------ Wart Get your free JPB guide at: http://jedipowerbattlesguide.homestead.com/JPB.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth_Simpson Posted August 15, 2000 Share Posted August 15, 2000 YEAH! And why do we have reason to believe that LEC is shadowing this board? ------------------ Hunger leads to donuts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest the13thJedi Posted August 15, 2000 Share Posted August 15, 2000 Simpson. Coincidentally enough, they seem to have followed all of our suggestions for what needs to be fixed in the DC version. Many of which weren't to be heard of anywhere else... the13thJedi ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Acid_Rain327 Posted August 16, 2000 Share Posted August 16, 2000 I don't understand you guys sometimes. If they're so insightful as to delay the DC version of this game to fix it up, then why the hell didn't they do so for the PSX version?! No offense Wart, but you're reacting to this exactly how those corporate executives want you to. You're following the exact plan they devised when they released the same POS months ago. They released a crappy-ass, unfinished version of a game for 50 bucks a pop, then used their loyal fanbase as an uncompensated, blatantly-ripped off, world-wide beta-testing team. Now, they're gonna take your cash, and your efforts and re-release this thing again to make even more money! You bought the damn thing, and inadvertedly funded a cashcow - one which you're willingly going to hand over yet more hard-earned money to. Come on, man! Open your eyes, and don't be suckered again! If you don't already see that the DC version of this game is going to be a piece of crap, and is only a means of raking in more money, then the guys in the LEC advertisement campaign department are doing a damn fine job of making sure you don't. What I'm trying to say is: we all got ripped off by a company we trusted. We blindly handed over our money for a product we had no reason to doubt the quality of, because of the manufacturor's reputation. They exploited that loyaly to rip us off. Now, they're going to release the same product with shiny new graphics, and they expect us to go out and spend more money on the same damn thing again, based on the same loyalty that caused us to buy this thing the first time. Don't be a lemming, my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Acid_Rain327 Posted August 16, 2000 Share Posted August 16, 2000 Possibly. But, I don't want you people to be ripped off yet again. Regardless of how you feel about the game, it's pretty hard not to see LEC's motives behind all this. And it's pretty hard to understand why so many people would just accept it.

Guest Jedi Kanigget Posted August 16, 2000 Share Posted August 16, 2000 If I remember correctly, you liked the TPM game. Personally, I hate it (Why? The word "dull" comes to mind.) and would rather have a different game in it's place. "To each his own." Wart obviously likes the game enough to buy the DC version.(Remember that strategy guide he wrote and revised six times? He wouldn't have done it if he hated the game.) ------------------ New!

Guest Darth Wart Posted August 16, 2000 Share Posted August 16, 2000 It's true; and the bottom line is I expect to get $45 of fun out of the DC version, just as I got (at least) $45 of fun out of the PSX version. I'm not to happy with LucasArts either, but I've certainly socked it to 'em enough: on virutally every page of that walkthrough I bashed them for their shameless glitches, and thousands of people read that thing. ------------------ Wart Get your free JPB guide at: http://jedipowerbattlesguide.homestead.com/JPB.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave Maul Posted August 16, 2000 Share Posted August 16, 2000 I feel that JPB was worth my £30, since a few bugs had been sorted out (PAL version). But I'm still waiting for someone to answer a question I posed a few weeks ago: In the UK version, does anybody see the Hyperdrive on level 5? I don't have a DC, but I'd buy a PS2 version no problem. Especially since the new one will have training, one-on-one and more secret characters. Oh, and CHEAT CODES! Finally! ------------------ Dave Maul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kurgan Posted August 16, 2000 Share Posted August 16, 2000 Let me just say I didn't spend a dime on JPB. I didn't get "hyped up" about it. I heard about it, and thought it sounded nice, then I read the scathing reviews of it. So I didn't have high hopes. I played it in a store and found it was "okay" but then after my roommate rented it and I got a chance to play it at greater length I discovered it was a game that wasn't worth buying for me or for many other folks. I don't even own a PSX of my own. I don't own a DC either, but I will definately try the DC version just for kicks, and if it turns out to be a good game, hey, maybe one day I'll buy it (once I get a DC cheap, haha!). ; ) I see JPB as a game with potential, that failed to live up to what it could have been, given more time and money by the developers. I wish them luck with the new version that promises to be better (now that we know it isn't just going to be a graphical upgrade with one new secret character thrown in). And if it turns out to be a bad game, then I needn't worry about it.

Guest Acid_Rain327 Posted August 24, 2000 Share Posted August 24, 2000 Well, I'm up for a discussion. If you think you can come up with a legible arguement for what you said above, Qui-Gon John, then please do; I'd be more than happy to oblige with my view of things. But, please understand where I'm coming from: do you know what Lucasarts has pulled with this product? And, let's refrain from that kind of language and "carpy", meaningless posts.

Pedro The Hutt Posted August 25, 2000 Share Posted August 25, 2000 Say Qui-Gon John, you're not the only one, I also don't have a playstation, I bought a Saturn instead back in '96, aaah, what a fine machine it was (and stil is), I could talk about the Saturn all day, but I won't(at least now). Oh yeah, Do you know that they are using the PSX 2 as something to keep the door open in my local games shop. HAHAHAHA, that'll teach Sony to make a crap machine, thinking that everybody will buy it purely because the first one sold a lot. MWAHAHAHAHA P.S. have you guy's heard about Codemasters abandoning Sega, I wonder how much they got from Somy????? ------------------ No! I am your father.

Guest Qui-gon John Posted August 25, 2000 Share Posted August 25, 2000 Acid_Rain327... confrantation??? yeah..whatever, all I am saying is that the version for dreamcast will NOT be crappy. that is all I am saying, you are the one that needs to settle down, and one more thing.....what e-mails are you talking about???? I sent one e-mail to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Acid_Rain327 Posted August 25, 2000 Share Posted August 25, 2000 Dude, you're looking for "confrantation" if you send people e-mails like this: "what!?!?!?! are you some kind of f***ing idiot?!?!? you are not going to buy episode I jedi power battles for dreamcast!?!!!??!? unless you dont have a dreamcast you are stupid!!! the graphics will be 10 times better!!!!! AND IT WILL BE BETTER!!!!!!! AND I HOPE YOU DONT PLAYSTATION HAS BETTER GRAPHICS THAN DREAMCAST!!!" Note that I had to clean this up for obvious reasons. Honestly, are you like 9 years old? It's a damn gaming board, not something to persecute someone over, and certainly not something that warrants this kind of behavior. Furthermore, this kind of behavior does not make you cool, nor does it generate any kind of respect. Grow up, or go away. By the way, I didn't mean e-mails (plural) in the sense of accusing you of sending me multiple letters; I meant for a possible chain of them to end now. I mean, if you're hostile enough to send something like this, who wouldn't be cautious of you sending more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Dave Maul Posted August 25, 2000 Share Posted August 25, 2000 Sorry, Qui-Gon John, but even if the post was censored, it was still said. Think about what you're doing before you go and flame another member for giving his opinion. Some of these guys have been around since the start. I've only been here a few months, and I've seen a fair share of pranksters and idiots. What I'm saying is that if you want to make friends here, you shouldn't go cursing at them. Kind of goes without saying, really. ------------------ Dave Maul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
