JA: v1.0.0.0 win-x86 Aug 5 2003 Are you sure you have JA updated to the latest version? I'm not sure how that could cause this problem, but I've heard that it's quite important for getting the mod to work....  [Read More]

Wow, reminds me of the crates in Jedi Academy that say "crate" in Aurebesh. There were a few other things like that in JA, but nothing that looked like a designer's IM conversation... "I hate computers so much" is quite amusing,...  [Read More]

I thought that the demo was great, from gameplay to graphics to sound. I was amazed at the variety, coolness, and attention to detail in the graphics, especially the special effects, but what impressed me the most was that on probably my 5th or 6th t...  [Read More]

Don't underestimate your computers, now. A GeForce FX 5200 can definitely do more than minimum graphics--I've got one and I'm running the HL2 demo with everything turned up to high (although it won't let me switch DirectX from 8 to 9) with no problem...  [Read More]

Perhaps when the Crow lands, it doesn't need landing gear; it just hovers on its repulsorlifts. This could be practical in the SW universe, just consider all the landspeeder, speeder bikes, and other vehicles that always float and don't have landing...  [Read More]

Although I'd like to see the dianoga too, I have a feeling we'll have to wait for the demo for that. :( Oh well, I guess that just makes it that much more frightening the first time you see one in the demo. Oooh, I can't wait. How much longer now? Ye...  [Read More]

I think they just thought the DT was just the closest existing thing to the specific gameplay role they wanted to fill. I wouldn't worry too much about it appearing in the wrong battles; it's not like Battlefront's really story-based anyway....  [Read More]

Well, there is a general resemblance in that they're silvery humanoid droids with red eyes. I'd say that the distinguishing feature for the Phase One DT is that sword thing on its arm. And that creepy sound it makes... So are those General Grievous'...  [Read More]
