I too was really disappointed with the ending of ANH. Chewie and Artoo definitely deserved medals too - and they missed their chance at including this in the Special Edition! Unforgiveable! As for racism throughout the series of films, I don't know,...  [Read More]

Ki-Adi-Mundi...in the chat log Haden Blackman said JKII was set around 14 years post-ANH...which would be about 10 years after ROTJ. As for all Stormtroopers just being clones and cannon fodder, you are forgetting one small point. Kyle Katarn was on...  [Read More]

Uutont Fжr Uulion... maybe the force isn't the only religion The Force isn't a religion at all. It could be argued that the Jedi are a form of religion, who are practitioners of the Force. I know what you meant, though. ;) I don't know if any of...  [Read More]

The concussion rifle is not currently listed as being in the game. However, it did have it's uses in both Dark Forces and Jedi Knight. I can't comment on MP, because I never really played MP. But in SP, I used the conc to clear rooms of Stormtrooper...  [Read More]

Well, I'm on a 56k connection, and that's not likely to change any time soon. I'll be damned if I'm going to pay a premium for an ISDN line when ADSL or Cable are better options. The only problem I have is the time it's taking to roll out these servi...  [Read More]

NeJJa...hey, no problem... Motion capture is when you put a human in a suit, with trailing cables (or plaster them with lots of little white balls), and then record their movements as a motion path. That data can then be applied to a 3D model on the...  [Read More]

As I understand it, a lot of tweaking has to be made to mo-cap data when you need to switch between different moves. And as Archie said, a lot of animators prefer to do it by hand to get the best out of it. Having said that, there are some notable e...  [Read More]

The only problem I can see with the name is that some people might just shorten it to Outcast, and it will then become confused with the other game of that name. Other than that, the name pretty much sums up Kyle's position, as the others said. Why...  [Read More]

I think the key problem with the Stormtroopers is the helmet. I think it's a little too large for the body, and it's too squared off at the bottom. It needs to be smaller, and tapered more. Other than that, the Stormtroopers are fine, IMO. As for th...  [Read More]

I have to say that for JKII I think multiple characters is a bad idea. Although I liked playing MotS SP, it really just seemed like a series of different missions. I wouldn't want to do the same sort of switching in JKII - this is Kyle's story. Havi...  [Read More]
