Good points. I know that they say you will have some choice in where to go when, which makes sense. I also agree that they will need to carefully design the levels to 'dynamically' adjust to where a character chooses to take them on. I wonder if th...  [Read More]

The idea of being able to choose your own path sounds intriguing, as does the return of choosing your 'Force Power Path'. From a game design standpoint, I know (i.e. have read, and it makes sense) that it is harder to design games with no knowledge...  [Read More]

Keeping in mind I'm typing this on my 12" Powerbook G4 ... I agree with LEC not porting JK1/MotS for the Mac. Remember, that was back in 1997, when the Mac was flailing at best. Not that I wouldn't (even now) eat up a JK port for the Mac ... I...  [Read More]

I thought I had posted a while ago about this ... JKII/Mac took about 6 months after JKII/PC, and only 3 months from the announce date. Even on games like Elite Force II it is a struggle to co-release. This is because the development cycle has the '...  [Read More]

I will miss him, as he became the character version of me - I molded his behaviour and so on, especially in JKII. That said, I don't have any regret NOT playing him in Jedi Academy, and wouldn't mind if he was a NPC in JKIII if that ever gets made....  [Read More]
