if ICARUS is in MP, it will almost certainly be cut down in features, since in SP its used for camera and cutscene scripting, as well as scripted triggers etc.. Scripted mission objectives would be cool tho, allows for lots of game modes, like assau...  [Read More]

ya, i hope JA has a real training part, not like the crappy 'trial' in JK2 which is not using powers for fighting in the actual game, just silly little scripted puzzles... Spent more time, being a padawan and all, just training the lightsabre skills...  [Read More]

It should be easier to win with a single sabre than a duel sabre, because in reality, it would take more skill to use two sabres or a sabre staff. In reality, yeah, but for this game, it should be even. I dont care what anyone says, every sabre mode...  [Read More]

For me, sabre down /= peace. Hell, i try and kill people with my sabre off, just to spite them :) However- sabre off and chat symbol = no killin'. Ive always had a thing about that. Just playing a couple of weeks ago at a lan (JK2) i planted a turr...  [Read More]

simple solution: if there's a model/race that doesnt ship with the game, make your own! Im sick of people bitching about things that are included/left out of the game, like Raven 'owes' it to them to put it in. They dont owe you nothin', you should p...  [Read More]

yeah, i think that light and dark shouldnt be mutually exclusive, until you get up to the highest tier of powers, like in JK1 where you couldnt get the highest abilility unless you had no points assigned to the opposite side of the force. It made it...  [Read More]

Yoda is straining because he's blocking the lightning with his hand Obi doesnt need to strain because he is not using any force to block the lightning, it seems to be attracted to the sabre blade. Makes sense really...Yoda using his hand looks more s...  [Read More]

yeah, having simulated cloth so close to another model all the time can be a real problem, the only solution is per vertex collision detection...but if the JA models are 5000 polys or so, thats a lot of calculations, so its not very practical. Shame...  [Read More]

this came up a few months ago, and while it's a little too CPU costly to make fully simulated clothing, ive found its really easy to set up about 3 bones at the tips of clothing, and then set up some simple IK chains back up the length of the cape. I...  [Read More]

I'd prefer Raven to not listen to the public when designing their games. These guys get the big $$$ doing what they do, because they're good at it. Some 14 year old who thinks they're the expert at Jedi Knight shouldnt tell them how to make a game....  [Read More]

aaah the wonderful language that is latin, no wonder its dead. :) 'Deus' means literally 'to raise up', but when used in an inflection, like using 'ex' which makes the previous word an adjective, it becomes 'Of God'. Trust me, ive gone through many...  [Read More]

i realise that Deus Ex was very popular, and im sure that it's a nicely designed game (generally) but the characters you play are just too weak when you start out, and they're sposed to be cyborgs, very advanced ones at that. This should also apply t...  [Read More]

after playing 1.04 for a long long time, then going onto a 1.03 server, i must say that the patch is a GODSEND! 1.03 is really really crap, the backstab for one, but also force push or pull pretty much pins you to the ground because it can be repeate...  [Read More]

what i mean by holding off, is that clothing on characters may have changed in the way they do things in JA, they've said that you can customise your character to a very fine degree. This means clothing may be interchangable between models (or may be...  [Read More]
