TK-8252 Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 I see screenshots of something that looks like Coruscant, but it could be Nar Shaddaa. Is Coruscant going to be in Jedi Academy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted August 22, 2003 Share Posted August 22, 2003 Yes, Coruscant will feature in Jedi Academy. Check the Jedi Academy FAQ (link in my sig) please for more information on locales. Whether those screenshots actually depict Coruscant is another matter, but I think it's fair to assume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Coruscant going to be in Jedi Academy? From the C&VG article mentioned in the 'magazine sightings' thread Can you reveal anything about the types of missions we'll be going on and the locations in which the missions are set? Fuchs: This mission structure has given Raven the freedom to create twice as many Star Wars locations as in JKII. We've tried to mix up the missions a lot to give the player a variety of things to do rather than just "shoot everybody and find the exit" type stuff. Some of the missions involve the overall story that flows through the game, and some of them are more episodic adventures. Some missions will be vehicle based, some the player will fight alongside allies from the films, some they will need to rescue people, some they will need to fight through with their lightsaber, and some they will need to use their force powers and abilities to tackle some pretty tough enemies. This takes place all across the Star Wars universe in places like Tatooine, Hoth, Coruscant, and more. Hope that clears things up for you! Personally I don't have any idea if we return to Nar Shadda, but I would like it ... Mike [edit ... OMG we're quick ... we were all over this one ... these fast updates have us all a bit twitchy ?!? ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grey_Wanderer Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Though, oddly enough, Coruscant looks almost EXACTLY like Nar Shadda. Sort of like the way New York looks like Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK-8252 Posted August 23, 2003 Author Share Posted August 23, 2003 It seems like Nar Shaddaa is always at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emon Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Aside from GTA, when's the last time you saw a daytime city in an FPS or TPS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted August 23, 2003 Author Share Posted August 23, 2003 My question could possibly be stupid, but what's a FPS and TPS? Coruscant in the movies was usually shown in the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 FPS= First Person Shooter where you only see your gun kind of like in JO TPS= Thrid Person Shooter means what it looks like when you had your lightsaber out. Got it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-8252 Posted August 23, 2003 Author Share Posted August 23, 2003 So then what is Jedi Outcast? A FPS or a TPS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabrobot Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reclaimer Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Both. FPS because of the guns TPS because of the lightsaber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obi-Wan X Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 I actually wouldnt mind having some of the Coruscant level be day light. You could be in the upperlevels where the sun reaches (ep1), and then go to the lower levels where it doesnt (ep2), thus it being dark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Also if tradition holds, you will be able to use guns in third person and lightsaber in first person as well. ; ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cheat Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 well you were only able to have lightsaber in first person in single player in jedi outcast but i believe there was a cheat to get first person for the lightsaber in multiplayer which i should know being the cheat and all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurgan Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 It was *not* a cheat, just a console command (which could be bound to a key): cg_fpls 1 This is for multiplayer. And unlike SP's first person lightsaber, this one allowed you to do all the flips, spins, rolls, etc and other moves (like the wall walk) in it successfully. Don't worry, it doesn't seem to be that well known (unfortunately). I learned about it on the forums, and I've had it posted on my site for a while (in the Lightsaber section, see link in my Sig).

The Cheat Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 no wonder i didnt know it thanks for posting it kurgan yeah i had it as a bind before but then i reinstalled my game so i lost what it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coruscant in the movies was usually shown in the day. Actually, its almost split, although there is maybe 1 or 2 more day incidents than night, but if you remember in the S.E. of the Original Trilogy, they showed Coruscant, and then there was the night that Zam Wessell tried to assassinate Senator Amidala.

lonepadawan Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 A speeder exactly like Zams is in one of the old screenshots. Plus it has the neon signs and traffic from Coruscant. And in the trailer theres some coruscant style buildings in one of the shots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emon Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 Coruscant is rather ugly in design, but Corellia and some of the other worlds are just awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cheat Posted August 23, 2003 Share Posted August 23, 2003 i think coruscant is awesome, a planet that is a complete city, but there are some other places that are pretty cool like a city in the sky but coruscant is probably my favorite but that is my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JKII had cool places - Kejim, Artus, Yavin, Nar Shadda, Bespin, Cairn, the Doomgiver. But JA is going to make it even cooler with more movie places - Hoth, Tatooine, Coruscant, as well as Yavin and who knows where else. I like the city areas, but also love the outdoor places - I am looking forward to every locale I've seen so far ... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along with the movie locations (I can't wait to visit Hoth...which I think is one of the 'coolest' places in the SW universe *ouch*), I'm still hoping to see some more of the worlds that are just given a passing mention in the movies...like Corellia, Sullust, Kessel, Ryloth, etc. We know about them, and some have featured in EU material, but they've not been conceptualised as 3D environments to explore before (to my knowledge). I'm also glad to see a couple of places mentioned in the EU now being slated for inclusion in the game (like Darth Vader's castle). At last we can build up a picture of the wider SW universe...at last we can explore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
