EEEEK! I can't decide!!! 1. Final Battle...closely ahead of both Assault on Theed (the one after Coruscant) and Gardens of Theed (after Otoh Gunga) 2. Easily the Jedi Battle at the end. 3. Empire Strikes Back...no other even comes close. 4. Vader...  [Read More]

Yeah, it's real, I sent it in merely as a response to a review rather than an 'interview' tho http://www.jediknight.net/mboard/smile.gif I can't remember who I sent it to. Sorry I haven't been paying a lot of attention to the boards recently. I've b...  [Read More]

Originally PC only, just like TPM was originally supposed to be. It wasn't until fairly late in development that Lucasarts started discussing a PSX version of TPM. Indiana Jones and The Infernal Machine had a PSX version planned, and indeed LEC had...  [Read More]

Yeah, the Bleemcast is a good point - I saw it on display at E3 - it's just amazing seeing a PS1 game running in hi-res at 60fps. However, don't expect to see TPM running on a Bleemcast anytime soon http://www.jediknight.net/mboard/frown.gif The Son...  [Read More]

The PS2, by a fair clip. PS2 will have better lighting effects, more polygons, faster processor etc. etc. The only thing it DOESN'T have is built-in anti-aliasing, which is a technique that blends the image on-screen so the lines don't look so pixela...  [Read More]

The truth? Go with a PS2. Maybe not immediately; Lucasarts is still getting its feet wet in the next-gen console market. They have yet to show a real commitment to the Dreamcast. Proof, you ask? There are NO games slated for release on the Dreamcast...  [Read More]

In all honesty, I don't know if it would be a good idea. Big Ape is a pretty small company, and having "interns" and so forth means a good deal of supervision that quite simply we don't have the time to do. You want a REALLY good work expe...  [Read More]

Well, in all honesty, if you still find yourself playing TPM because you're having a good time doing it, we're just saying that RS and Racer are different types of games, so trading TPM outright may be bad news if you find you don't like RS or Racer....  [Read More]

I'm a bit biased, of course http://www.jediknight.net/mboard/wink.gif I thought Rogue Squadron was kinda fun, but didn't have a lot of the depth that TPM has. Racer, similarly, was fun to play but once you've finished one race, you've finished em a...  [Read More]

Yep, you're absolutely right, the slide down the grate is the THIRD place that that kind of camera is used http://www.jediknight.net/mboard/wink.gif And, as Master Qui-Gon pointed out, there might very well be a way to get across, but basically you'...  [Read More]

OK, here's the story: The Red Pass key is used on the Assault on Theed level (where you play as the Queen), not the Escape from Theed (Obi-Wan escorts the Queen to the hangar). The artwork is there on both levels, because we used the same level geom...  [Read More]

That's the ONLY place in the game where that camera is used. It's sort of a secret area, and the only way to get to it is to drop down. Once we got you down there, it was impossible to turn without clipping the camera through the room above, so we us...  [Read More]

There's actually quite a few ATI cards, and some of them were released about the same time the 3dfx cards were, so they have some but not all of the comparable features. I think the problem is that this particular ATI card uses a different transparen...  [Read More]

Oy, sounds bad. I think that your particular version of ATI card had a transparency issue that was basically unsolvable for our compatibility programmer. Suggestion? I hate to say it, but you may have to bite the bullet and go buy a new video card. M...  [Read More]
