Yesterday during lunch I played Level VI: Crix Madine's Fate ... in general a fun level - until the end part in the garbage compactor. I probably spent as long as I had on the rest of the level trying to hit all of those jumps. Eventually I gave up a...  [Read More]

Another interesting thing that I read (I'm going to use spoiler tags just in case ... Contradicting what PC Zone UK said in their 'review' - which was definitely on pre-Gold code - IGN says you *CAN* ride an AT-ST in SP, as well as TaunTaun and swoo...  [Read More]

I have to say I'm glad they haven't put in a generic flamethrower. I liked them in RtCW and Unreal II ... and MoHAA, for that matter. It is just REALLY non-Star Wars, IMO. I still wish there was a gun with that SoFII shotgun feel ... maybe the concu...  [Read More]

Originally posted by StormHammer As for later levels, I expect the guns will become more and more useless in SP...unless you are facing off against heavily armoured droids (like the Ed-209 look-alikes or AT-STs in JO), or large 'beasties' where it w...  [Read More]

Originally posted by HaruGlory89 They do need to be improved. It's so darn slow in the first few levels. And how annoying is it that it takes around 5-8 shots to kill a stormie with your Bryar? I never took more than 1-2. They call it a head shot, s...  [Read More]

My impression for Jedi Academy is that the guns will remain virtually unchanged - add the Concussion gun and change the Bryar to the BlasTech, and that's about it. The focus is elsewhere. If you are coming to SP looking for 'advanced Dark Forces' sa...  [Read More]

You should all check out the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. ragdoll videos. They are very good at showing realistic body drops. But notice that everyone dies the same way in the vehicle physics clip ... I know it's just a demo of a pre-alpha game, but that is a conc...  [Read More]
