Jedi Outcast trailer at lucasarts.com

I HIGHLY recommend all Star Wars game fans check out this trailer.

Looks like the lightsabre fighting in it will put all previous Star Wars games utterly to shame.

I checked it out earlier today and it is awesome.

The Jedi battles looked cool. Why don't they just make a game where you're a Jedi and you go around whoppin ass?

Maybe even have a create-a-jedi feature to where you make whoever you want from scratch.

See Lance? If we were in business together, we'd make billions, because we have the pulse on the regular man. We know what they all want.

If I had the know how and the money we could make a business making these types of games. We could make the best damn RP video game featuring SW characters.

I hope they don't overdo it!

Eccept that Bioware are way ahead of you two, in the creation of Knights of the Old Republic, of course.

Don't worry, yerss; Lightning aside I think Raven have it about right.

I don't think it's walljumping, it's more wallwalking

Like Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon?

I saw in some stills of this game you can do the Force Lightning from your hands. Does this mean that the character you are is evil?

lightning isn't totally evil, I think

Well we are meant to assume it is, cause you may have to release the dark side within to harness enough power to control it.

and you can start with: OB1 killed Maul, so he is now also evil

So it's like an alternate SW universe?

Ok, there has been a BIG talk about this in the Outcast forums. Here is the position

1. In Single player mode, Kyle's moral position is tenuous; he can go good or bad.

2. In multi-player mode, powers will be split into Light and Dark. While this is not an accurate reprensentation of how the Force works, Raven felt it worked better game-play wise to have it split (and asked for permission from Lucasarts to do so). So in multi-player, only the Dark Side guys can use Lightning.

Ah, I would probably be a dark player to use the awesome power of the Force to it's near full potential.

well, that's only in multi (I don't play that many multi anymore) so I can get it and still be light 😛

I think you'll find piddling around with Lightning in single player is likely to put you down the evil path, yerss.

Besids, if any power in Star Wars could be said to be Dark Side only, it's the Ligntnming.

BTW, while you choose your powers in multi-player you don;t in single player. No-one is 100% sure how the advancment works in singe-player but it is something to do with Kyle getting better with the powers you use more often (sabre skill is counted as a Force power). Like I say, we don't know the details.

That would be fun to do to your enemies too.
