Just so you know, I admitted in the other thread I was wrong about the "single player dodging force power." It IS in the pc version, but only on the lower difficulty levels (it's definately on Padawan difficulty). It's an automatic power,...  [Read More]

It WOULD be possible to do, it all depends on if Microsoft and LA work out a deal (I'm skeptical). For example, the Dreamcast did Quake3 (a very good port btw) in which you could play online against people using the PC version. The thing was, PC us...  [Read More]

I'm sure this won't be answered until the game comes out, but I wonder... if (I hope) this feature will be put back into JA? The Quake3 engine supports giving bots orders in team games. One player uses a console command to say "I am the leader&...  [Read More]

While I might like to think that the idea of adding a Dark Side option and class based multiplayer was due to my incessant whining on the subject, I don't flatter myself. I agree with Stormie, it's a part of the novels that is popular in the EU (hec...  [Read More]

The main improvements to JA over JK2 seem to be the fact that they're making SP more like MP (giving us access to both sides of the force exclusively, transferring over more of the force powers, etc, letting us choose our skins/saber color, etc). Fr...  [Read More]

Woohoo! Then again, I'm kinda sad that they didn't continue working a little longer to perfect the game before release. Buuut.. I don't know their schedules or how they are working at crunch time, so I'm sure they did what they thought was best. Ca...  [Read More]

While it probably won't be the same as Counter Striker per se, Siege sounds like it will be the Star Wars equivalent (perhaps more like UT's assault, of which I am more familiar). Yeah, I hope a lot of great mods get made for this game. I'm a little...  [Read More]

Very cool. ; ) Of course, it is a little out of date, considering MotS, JK2 have come out since then and JA is coming. Also Kyle Katarn and his exploits are now part of the Expanded Universe officially (he is mentioned in the NJO books, in the New...  [Read More]

It has been said before by Raven that the "swap between dual lightsaber and lightstaff" witnessed by some at E3 is a cheat... done so that developers could show off the various sabers easier. We honestly don't know how the dual/lightstaff...  [Read More]

Yeah, JK1 has been the only game so far to let you choose DarkSide or LightSide. The levels were slightly different, as well as having different cutscenes (including a different ending), but it only affected the latter half of the game really (though...  [Read More]

I haven't decided. I will eventually do both of course, but not sure which one I do first. Playing Lightside first would make Dark Side that much more fun though I would think. =) I have been waiting a long time for a DS game though, so I might be...  [Read More]

However, a few months ago the Duke Nukem 3D source code was released. Since Dark Forces runs on the same engine, there is hope yet. I'm afraid you're wrong, Duke3D used the "Build" engine, while DF used the "Jedi" engine develop...  [Read More]

I will play both, and making them similar from the start is a step in the right direction, but when all is said and done, MP will be where it's at.... endless variety and bots are usually more fun than AI anyway. You'll play through SP twice (to get...  [Read More]

First off, the whole idea of Jediism is based on a shakey foundation. Now don't get me wrong, it could BECOME a religion, but it didn't start as one. Let me explain... George Lucas is a religious man. He was raised Christian (Methodist IIRC with e...  [Read More]

It looks like Raven is headed in the right direction with game modes. They've expanded the dueling modes slightly (though I am curious how they plan to balance "power duel") and Siege will allow classes and balance with sabers guns etc. I...  [Read More]
