I'd like all my games to come on DVDs...and include lots of extra features, like DVD movies. I don't mean like having a running commentary in the background...but 'Making of...' featurettes, screenshots, wallpapers, trailers, etc., would make nice ad...  [Read More]

Originally posted by Solo4114 So, in the end, I think JA will be a solid game, a good contender in the market, but if it's released at the wrong time, it could end up having a pretty slow start for the MP community and its sales in general. It will,...  [Read More]

The character customisation in JA seems a bit like it is in Dungeon Siege, to my mind. In DS you get a basic head and body for the two genders of your character, and then choose the hair style, upper garment and lower garment. Except with JA you'll g...  [Read More]

Originally posted by yolkboy I think you hit the key point. There is a need for balance issues in JO so it would be nice for the serious players to give some feed back. Considering the way the 'feedback' for JO led to a patching fiasco, I highly d...  [Read More]

I voted for Siege mode as well. I like FFA, TFFA and CTF, but I'm always looking for something new, and I like the variety of game modes in games like UT2K3. So the more new MP modes in JA the better. Siege sounds like it's going to be a real blast,...  [Read More]

You don't have to sacrifice story at the expense of non-linearity. True non-linearity is more of an unachievable goal anyway, and most games simply fake it by offering you more choices, both in terms of level design, and in terms of gameplay. There's...  [Read More]

As others have said, there were a lot of good games announced, or with more information at E3, so there are a lot of good games that wouldn't even get a sniff at a top 20 list. I don't think it's bad news if they didn't make a list in PC Gamer. I pre...  [Read More]

I don't really want another trailer, to be honest. I especially don't want one with 20 minutes of footage. I remember when I first played Jedi Knight, I just tried the demo level first (the fueling station), and then got the game. Prior to that I'd s...  [Read More]

Yeah, we've had this discussion before - before JO was ever released, as I recall. ;) Except this time they did mention weapon load-outs prior to each mission, which to my mind is a strong hint towards limited carrying capacity. I'd go with Mike's v...  [Read More]

I agree that the AT-ST was a bit difficult to handle in JO. A first-person view from the cockpit would be a nice addition, too. Volition managed to implement that for Red Faction, and it worked well, so I don't see why it would be beyond the bounds o...  [Read More]

It all comes back down to the same argument, over and over. As I see it, the only solution to prevent a lot of these complaints about sabers vs guns, is to have different damage scales for the weapons in each MP mode individually. Until that is impl...  [Read More]

Thanks for the link and heads-up, astyanax. :thumbsup: As for dismemberment...I'd be disappointed to see any of the cheat codes removed. I hope they keep it like JO, if they're not going to have it as an option in the menus. Having said that, if the...  [Read More]

If the 'rag doll system' refers to the way some characters fell in SOF2, then I hope they have fixed some of the issues with that system. For example, when some enemies died, and fell against something quite small on the ground, they would assume a p...  [Read More]
