I'm still a bit disappointed about not being able to select my own name, but as Mike pointed out, with a more impersonal approach (like Padawan), there's a possibility you might not feel as much a part of the story if no one calls you by your name....  [Read More]

LOL @ unnamed... On a more serious note, of course each lightsaber selection will have it's inherent advantages and disadvantages. WARNING: some minor spoilers ahead. Single Saber - 3 stances (light, medium, heavy) with ability to throw. Dual S...  [Read More]

Originally posted by crow_nest It would be better if we could use custom saber colors, like the TCK sabers mod for jk2. It would be cool! And who is to say that mod doesn't get ported to JA? :) I'm pretty sure that if enough people demand it, then...  [Read More]

Wudan...I agree with all the points you just raised. Holding competitions, making packs of the 'best maps' out there, etc., helps other games to achieve better notoriety and more on-going support from mod authors. It would be great if Raven could act...  [Read More]

Maybe everyone should post links here to their favourite review sites for mod content, so we can compile a comprehensive list of sites to visit... Just an idea. Also...if a comprehensive site is lacking, maybe it's time to make one......  [Read More]

Both SP and MP will allow Single, Duel or Lighstaff lightsabers. Don't believe every rumour you hear. And any information taken from the leaked beta is at best dubious considering it is an unfinished and older build of the game. :rolleyes:...  [Read More]

Don't believe everything you read. We already know from the developer that lightsaber combat has been a key focus of development for the game, with lots of additional animations, moves and tweaks. We also know that the different MP modes, like Duel a...  [Read More]

You shouldn't believe every rumour you hear on the net. Considering duel lightsabers is one of the key selling points for the game, it's highly unlikely they've taken them out. The resulting storm of bad feeling from the community would be a worse bu...  [Read More]

Hi STTCT. :) For SP...there is less focus on large complex puzzles in Jedi Academy. I know a few people had some problems with a few of the puzzles in Jedi Outcast, so in those terms, getting through the physical levels should be slightly easier. Yo...  [Read More]

I totally agree with Kurgan. For Team-based games, the ability to command your bots to carry out specific functions should be there. I'd love to see an intuitive and well-featured command interface along the lines of the one in UT2K3 - pick a specifi...  [Read More]

I can't wait to try out Power Duel to see what it's like. I do agree with the points raised above, though. Maybe they should have simply allowed the players to select the numbers themselves for each side, so you could have 2v2, 3v2, 3v3 etc. Improvi...  [Read More]
