It looks like a blue destruction bolt to me :). The little blue circle looks like an explosion, and the distorted semi circles on either side of the edges look like heat waves... And JKII seemed to have taken a much blue-er approach this game... with...  [Read More]

I never had any problem with the ammount of energy or aggresiveness shown in JKII fighting... The problem I have with it is the momentum and dynamics of the saber swings... It looks like the Jedi are holding a baseball bat, and swinging it accordin...  [Read More]

Hmm, I thought I recalled hearing something about a cloned Emporer... But the way you guys make it sound the EU totally nullified everything that happened in RotJ by having Luke go to the darkside... Even having the "cloned Emporer" seduce...  [Read More]

I've only read a few EU novels... such as the ones written by Timothy Zhan and actually thought they were pretty well done an had a good sense of what fit in Star Wars, and what didn't. I especially liked the Hand of Thrawn books. Still; there were s...  [Read More]

Ug, I hated the JO cutscenes... For some odd reason they looked MUCH worse graphics wise than the in game visuals... And... I hated the way the characters moved in the cutscene... having Kyle slide around on the floor when he moved didn't look too...  [Read More]

I think the problem with the Stormtrooper helmets in JO is that they're too large on the top (or too small on the bottom..) If you look at the Stormtroopers in the movies; the helmets seem to taper more at the top, and the "gas mask" area o...  [Read More]

Wow, you're right, that Dark Trooper in the screen shots DOES look much better! Especially the top one! But let me get this straight, when you said you're going to be remaking the "mesh" of the Phase 1, does that mean that we're going to s...  [Read More]

I just got done playing through the demo for the Dark Forces Mod and I must say, it's extreemly well done; I was amazed at -- even at such an early stage -- how professional everything looked, just like a real payed developer team, and how authentic...  [Read More]

People would NOT be holding the block button down the whole time their not attacking. No, the block button (which would surely be the right mouse key), when pressed would bring the saber up in a defensive position, enabiling AUTO blocks to be more su...  [Read More]

Sorry if I sounded at all hostile in my last post Eastcoast2895 :). I actually kind of agree with you about adding manual and automatic blocking... But it would be hard to build the game around BOTH kinds of fighting, I think. It would really change...  [Read More]

On a similar subject, am I the only one that thinks its cazy having saber throw as the secondary fire? I mean, really, we see it done in the movie once, and in an extreemly ineffective manner (sorry Lord Vader!). And all of a sudden 'throwing away' y...  [Read More]

Well, saber throw would be made just a normal force power, like in MotS. I don't think it would make things THAT much more complicated to remember manual blocking. After awhile it would become like second nature. And as one of the above posters sa...  [Read More]

I agree with (100% according to the poll) people in this thread... It would be terribly disapointing if JA was as lifeless as JO. Sure, there was the bartender (please nobles jedis, not in the faces), a few droids, and a bunch of prisoners... But we...  [Read More]

Ug, this is rediculous. The war is NOT going badly. Nor has the coalition "underestimated" the Iraq soldiers. The so called 'soldiers' of Saddam are little more than terrorist police. They are poorly trained and have made no great show of m...  [Read More]
