What's this Merc vs Jedi everyone's talking about? It sure wasn't an official gamemode in JO :confused: And JA will have Siege, a class based MP mode which looks a bit like assault :D I think it'll be great!...  [Read More]

Hey the lightsaber on the swoop race pic looks pretty nice, betetr than JO lightsabers at least :) On most newer screens I see, the lightsaber seems to be improved, and it actually illuminates the surrounding area :D...  [Read More]

Ragdoll physics allow an object (body) to roll and move just like it would in real life, for example; rolling down the stairs when you're dead. A ragdoll sceleton allows realistic bending etc of a skeleton and allows it to take different poses, but...  [Read More]

Well... Since I refuse to play as a female (otherwise it'd be Zabrak :D), I'll play a male human, and the 2nd time probably a kel dor... The kel dor look pretty cool, one of the few aliens I like :D And I hate rodians, probably just because they snip...  [Read More]

Cutscenes were fine in JO, but maybe he means that the ingame cutscenes should allways be high-quality, as in 'pre rendered' or something?? And that may take up more space... But hey, I'll have everything set to high, so I don't worry :p Oh and I th...  [Read More]

I don't think JA will be THAT massive, and you won't have trouble finding your way. I didn't have that problem in JO (although some people were screaming for a map :rolleyes: ) and probably won't have it in JA, even while the maps seem to be larger.....  [Read More]

I don't think there will be very much 'exploration', except maybe some of those secret areas :) But as the screenshots tell you, some levels are more open than in JO and that is a big improvement, I find that sufficient to give JA a more immersive (s...  [Read More]

From what I've seen in the movies and screens, JA is going to look and feel A LOT like JO. You still have 3 stances for the single saber and the dual sabers and saberstaff both have 1 stance. The force powers are exactly the same as in JO, with the...  [Read More]

Yeah a CD-Key is the best way to protect online gameplay. It worked for Half-Life, didn't it? But don't think it's cheap, because all cd-keys have to be checked with the master server and that costs bandwith and processing power. That means LA or Rav...  [Read More]

With the apparent release date (Sept. 16th) coming closer, I tend to agree with you... I fear JA will be very much the same like JO :( I mean, I haven't seen anything really new in the screens and movies, even the sabers look the same; the same bugs...  [Read More]
