who knows what they have planned for saber throw? If they are talking about combining Force powers, maybe you'll be able to steer the thing in flight to home in on a target. I can't see them needlessly putting in different vertical/horizontal/diagona...  [Read More]

Considering that Jedi Outcast was never announced for being on Mac, but eventually got ported across by Aspyr (I think), I would imagine you could probably expect something similar down the line for JA. However, it's unlikely to be a priority, unfort...  [Read More]

Splinter Cell used a more recent iteration of the Unreal engine. Other games based on the Unreal tech are... Unreal, Return To Na Pali (expansion), Unreal Tournament, Deus Ex, Clive Barker's Undying, RUNE, Mobile Forces, Unreal 2, Devastation, Black...  [Read More]

Originally posted by OneWingedAngel I was reading an article about Jedi Academy, and it said that it was going to use the JK2 engine. So if this is true, does that mean that the maps can be used for both? Actually, they are using an even more heav...  [Read More]

LMS could be good, but I prefer the way you can play it in UT, and set a certain number of kills/respawns before you become a spectator. So, give everyone all weapons and 10 lives to begin with, for example, and once you've lost your last life you're...  [Read More]

Just an FYI...there is no JKIII...it is called Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, so the III doesn't come into the equation. As for JKII.net...don't worry. The Admins have the situation well in hand. ;) And that's all I'm going to say. :cool:...  [Read More]

While it would be great to see properly moving cloth, I imagine it's probably quite hard to do and get right. If they're stuck to tight deadlines again, I can't see them allocating the resources to this. Nevertheless, it would be cool to see....  [Read More]

New Force powers? Well, as Elliot334 said, they could just bring back some from JK/MotS that were missing in JO. Personally, I'd like to see some kind of object lifting ability - we see it quite extensively in ESB, and I think it's long overdue to...  [Read More]

It would be good to see them implement left-handed saber combat, and left-handed guns. Although I've played mostly with my right hand on the mouse, I've been having some problems with pain in my right hand for a couple of months...and so I occasional...  [Read More]
