Burned out character wounds?


Proto

I wonder if you noticed a small detail in character's texturing on this screensthot:

Maybe it's just me, but it looks like burned out saber-wounds, just like in AotC when Dooku has defeated Obi-Wan. Concerning JA using inmproved Ghoul2 system used also in SoF2 it is more than possible.

 

Now, if so, would it just disappear after few seconds or maybe after few duels your character would look like a piece of some burned roast :D. What do you think?

this is not about the saber burns, but notice how none of the stances used look like they were taken from JO.

 

Tw'lek : duh!

 

bottom guy : if he's starting his swing then that's new, else it could be the end of a red stance swipe.

 

right guy : looks like he's gonna go "backhanded" looks cool.

It looks like it might be a temporary effect. The dead guys on the ground aren't showing any damage marks that I can see.

 

I've looked at all of the other screenshots closely, and I can't find any more showing this kind of damage effect either. We need another screenie showing this to be sure...

Just look at the left hand of sith laying behind Twi'lek player and compare it to the one in front of her. There's also something wrong with skinning of her leg in this area :D. However I do think that it would be rather a temporary effect (especially concerning PC).

 

And yes, this is the only screenshot where I've spotted this "burns" so far.

 

And I believe that if there would be saber burns in, there is no problem to include blaster hits as well :jawa.

Ah yes, I can see that now. :) Thanks for pointing that out. :D

 

Of course, the obvious thing of notice in that screenshot is that they still haven't bothered to turn on realistic saber damage - no severed arms or heads. :( I hope it's still an option in the console - in fact, I hope they include it in the menu options this time around, so you can turn it on, and leave it permanently on. It adds a bit more realism to the game, IMHO, but it's a pain having to turn it on every time you play in JO....

I totally agree. As the body is going to vanish anyway, it makes sense to make the damage permanent.

 

However, there's still the issue with your player character, and even with tougher opponents who remain alive for a long time. Will we just see the damage appear...and then a few seconds later disappear, like the saber scoring on walls? That would be a bit disappointing, IMHO. If they're going to show damage, it should remain until you kill an enemy and they vanish...and for your own character until you Heal yourself.

I'd have to agree. Lots of people know about the cheat code for realistic saber combat, so it's hardly a secret. Anyone can turn it on. Besides, if they were really worried about it, they could always implement a password-protected system for reduced gore, like they did with SOF2. As a matter of fact, I'd prefer it if they did that...then I could just turn the realistic saber damage on in the menu and forget about it.

How many dismemberment zones do you want, for goodness sake? I mean, in JO you can already slice heads, hands, feet, arms, and do a mid-section slice. That's plenty for me.

 

I just wish they'd fix the death animations for some of those...because it's a bit odd seeing the top half and bottom half of the body keel over at the same time - it's basically the same animation for when they're not sliced in half. Making it a bit more realistic in those terms would satisfy me. :)

personally, i'd like the ability to slice someone right down the middle. :dev7:

it'd be nice if, say, for one of the midsection separations the upper body was knocked off and the legs just kinda toppled over... and for head disbemberments, it'd be cool if the head rolled depending on how powerful the swing was. :dev7:
