Rumor Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 which one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Okay I was finally able to grab the files (busy site!). Windows Media player (I still use 6.4) had to download some codecs and then "buffer" each vid, but they do play. Short, some nice footage (low res) and they do indeed have the IGN.com logo on the front. However, the files are labelled "free" so I just assumed they were legit. Why would IGN charge money for videos of this low quality? If they did, perhaps we should take them down, we'd want some proof that these were pay videos and not mirrors of free ones (or a request from IGN would suffice).

Agen Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Originally posted by The Truthful Liar If you want to download the screenshot pack you can get it here.

Shotokan Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 LoL yea it looks weird. The combo sounds sweet though. I wonder what else you can combine to make cool results.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotokan Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Does anyone else think they should change some of the sounds? I mean the sounds for the weequay and rodian are getting kind of old... They should add like some updated version of em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Oh great, now we have to "hug" people when we drain them (or is that grip?). ; p I liked the way grip worked in JK/MotS and JK2 was cool too. Perhaps they could do it the way Vader choked (well I guess technically it wasn't a force choke, but it still looked cool) Captain Antilles in ANH (with one hand, holding their throat, person two feet off the ground). =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praenuntius Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Kurgan, I'm pretty sure that's a combo move, and both grip and drain by themselves will work in a way quite similar to what we are used to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praenuntius Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 The free movies from IGN are 2.9MB 2.8MB and 3.4MB in size hence their low quality. The pay-for movies are 5.1MB 5MB and 6.2MB so I'd expect them to be better. These movies are different to the ones on GameSpot. The ones I downloaded there are in QuickTime format and are 12.7MB each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HertogJan Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Hey that site also mentions a GameSpott article, which says, and I quote: Aside from the basic moves, you'll also be able to use the saber like a boomerang, taking out enemies from afar, and we even saw a move that invloved two lightsabers being swung around in a circular pattern, essentially creating a shield. (...) There will also be plenty of Force moves available to your character, including a couple of new ones such as Force range and Force sight. Force range... hmmm... Wonder what it does! I guess it's a dark side power, since sight will most likely be a light side power... at least I think so Or they are both neutral You can read the entire article here, it isn't groundbreaking or something, except for the "Force Range" part... Oh and the part about creating some sort of shield with dual sabers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truthful Liar Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Force Range... That sounds really interesting, thanks for the link! ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reprehence Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I wonder if they misheard force rage?? As for that picture - since when do you have to touch someone to do a grip? To me it looked more like the guy was using drain - maybe at a lower level - like level 1 - where you have to touch the person for it to work.

txa1265 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Originally posted by The Truthful Liar Force Range... That sounds really interesting, thanks for the link! ; ) As I said in the other thread, it is clear that 'Range' is an un-edited, spell-check passing typo for Force Rage. The context of the statement makes that clear (to me, at least). I like the newvideos - you can see (even in the low-res IGN vids) the enhanced graphics and detailed models. Very nice. As for sounds - I thought they had the Rodians and so on captured pretty well last time ... why mess with it? Just for the sake of variety? Ragdoll 'physics' was NEVER promised. There was mention of the Ragdoll Skeletal system. I'm assuming that is enhancements to model 'breakage', articulation and dismemberment in GHOUL2. I'm very concerned that we got video from a 'beta' source before the game is gold. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

griff38 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I watched all 3 and was suprisingly unimpressed. Hopefully the crappy quality of the video is the problem. I am gonna get real tired of all that 2 sabre blindly swinging about hoping to hit something crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Originally posted by griff38 I watched all 3 and was suprisingly unimpressed. Hopefully the crappy quality of the video is the problem. I think so - did you grab that beta video? I did before I realized what it was (I though it was a mirror the the three videos zipped together), and the quality was better, including shadowing and tremendous saber lighting. I am gonna get real tired of all that 2 sabre blindly swinging about hoping to hit something crap. You remember that guy with blue stance twirling himself dizzy tauinting about how he's going to 'pwn joo' with his '1337 skllz'? In JA he'll have dual sabers or a lightstaff and still be taunting his way to the bottom of the kill list ... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Another thing ... Did you notice the heavy lighting from the saber? Does this mean it will be able to light our way in the darkness? And/or that having a saber on in a dark area will give your position away to enemies? I hope so ... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go easy, try to be a bit more constructive with the comments! I know I've given PrimoSidone a rough time on occasion for his extensive use of 'IM-speak' in constructing sentences, but he was just expressing a concern! You were right, though - it is SP, and the Jedi knocked down a weak enemy (Rodian?) and then took him out. Personally I can't wait to do it myself ...

KBell Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 How people can flame eachother on a JA picture thread is beyond me. lighten up, all of you Anyway, i'm giddy with excitement for JA's release of Sept. 16, although it may be abit too early if you ask me...

XanaJedi Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Kbell. I want to play the game everybody does, so everybody want it to come out as fast as possible On the other hand.. if lucasarts will rush it. it will kinda suck... so its best to wait and play a good game then to rush and play a bad game, no?
