Emon Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Whoa! That is amazingly cool! They even have an index of all the available moves, although with dropped frames to be more bandwidth friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boinga1 Posted August 22, 2003 Author Share Posted August 22, 2003 Check out the red stance move called "Attack Kata". that is just...man. btw, the trailer is the same one found at Gamespot earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emon Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 No problem with that. Each stance appears to have a special move called a kata. A system of basic body positioning and movement excercises, as in karate or judo. Makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anakin1607 Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Those new saber moves are, in a word. SWEET! Nice to see the oldies are back too. [super Mods Note: Please edit posts instead of excessive posting.] Uh, guys? Official site material isn't really considered to be spoilers, especially not the moves. Those katas are pimp. It's nice to be able to pull off a cool combo without a lot of button mashing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 The site looks awesome...and there's such a lot of stuff to view on it. They've done a great job, and it was well worth the wait, so a big to Lucasarts. I can't wait for this game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 That's a kick-ass site, especially for Lucasarts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariners2001 Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 yes. lucasarts really deserves credit here. this site is amazing and it'll make the wait seem a bit shorter. the wall grab seems interesting. i just wonder if you can grab a wall while falling. this game looks well worth the wait! EDIT: HOLY !@#$!!! Read the downloads page!!!! "A demo will be available for the PC platform in the coming weeks. Check back often!" I love you LucasArts!!!!!!

JEDI OUTCAST Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 thanks for the info:D . i think the site looks cool now and have seen the new trailer i was waiting for so rock on to 19th september in the uk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Closter Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I can't see the screenshoot what do i need to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solarn'Gar Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Oh man what a site! There is just soo much detail. I've been waiting with baited breath to find out some of this stuff, especially the sys reqs. The wallpapers are really great, I can't wait to get the screen savers. ANYWAY, the BIG piece of news here is really that a DEMO IS COMING!!!! I hope the demo is like the one for Jedi Outcast, in that it will be a level that is not a part of the actual game, just a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Originally posted by Closter I can't see the screenshoot what do i need to do. I can't see the screenshots or concept art on the new site either. Perhaps they are still transferring some stuff across to the new format. I mean, there are some errors in the text throughout the site where it mentions Jedi Outcast, instead of Jedi Academy, so it's a little rough around the edges...

Neverhoodian Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Wow! A demo?! YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!! I can't wait. WOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I've already downloaded the two wallpapers and have one on the desktop now (green one that says "The Force is a powerful ally. And a terrible foe.") September 17 seems so far away. I guess I'll live till then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotokan Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 BOO YA! Man I like how they show all the moves and stuff.. So far I know that I'm definitely gonna choose the lightstaff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 A few misspellings (and JO references), and the neutral force powers don't have pictures, but otherwise, it looks great! The site will probably be all fixed up in a few hours so most people will see it complete. Nice job LA/Raven! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonkH8er Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I'm quite impressed with the new trailer. Some of the locations and moving environments look stunning. the presence of ground stabbing moves and a plethora of kicks brings up a very good topic about the ethics of killing people when they're down. I'll start a new thread for the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Remember how we were talking about LA updating the site in the next couple of weeks when the game went Gold? This wasn't what we were talking about ... it's more, much more Another great look at the new mech enemies in the Force Rage shot ... OK, I was saying I loved the Rebel Strike site ... this site, especially after a bit of polish, is likely to be the best game site I've ever seen - it's worth visiting not just for the info, but has a rich value of its' own. Cool stuff. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdk1 Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 lol i just noticed something minor on the site. Go to the inventory list and look at the descriptions for some of the items there. Heh looks like someone got a tad lazy of course, thats forgivable just because the rest of the site rocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heh looks like someone got a tad lazy of course, thats forgivable just because the rest of the site rocks Copy and Paste errors ... there are a few, as well as mis-spellings, missing pics, and so on. But for a site of this magnitude ... quite a nice intro. If the game is as cool as the site, I may only play this and DX:IW for the rest of the year ... Mike [super Mods Note: Please Edit posts instead of excessive posting.] Bluesnews just put up their notice about the new site, calling it " the latest website to announce one of those trendy relaunches ". ShackNews also posted the info, but was a bit less jaded in their comments. (BTW - I'm the Mike in both ) I really liked the JO website when it came out - not bad at the time, but it just pales compared to JA. This new site tells you loads about the game and what to expect - the weapons are largely the same, and the emphasis is on character, acrobatics, and lightsaber combat, along with engine improvements. I noticed the trailer #2 is almost 3 times smaller than the Gamespot version, yet the resolution is slightly higher - 320x240 vs. 288x240. Good news for 56k-ers ... Another thing that I liked was the 'long jump' I know we saw it is a screenshot a while ago, but didn't know what it was ... it will be interesting to see how this stuff plays out.

I might have a bash at trying to d/l that version then, if it's a bit higher res. *pedals faster on 56k connection* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
