Jedi Outcast is out...

I need a pic of them to judge for myself if they are beautiful or not.

Well all the plants look just great. And there are damn lots of those.

What's wrong with having lots of background stuff?

Nothing, He's just saying there's a lot of stuff.

I must say, the sabre-fighting has been very much improved from previous star wars games.

It certainly is. It's not as good as I might have hoped, but it is still very good. I keep having to remind myself that this is an arcade FPS and not some in-depth Jedi sabre simulator, and so the system is never going to be quite as in-depth as I might have liked.

And while I on;t understand anyone who says the sabre fights look 'just like the films', which they don't, they DO look good.

well the sabres themself look perfect.

Well, except that they don't cast shadows.

you and your shadows! 😉
just a few inches of finishing it and getting it 😄

Should a shaft of light cast a shadow? I don't think so.

I could go into vast detail and tell you why that isn't a shaft of light at all, but actually a solid object.

But I will simplify it thus: ILM give the sabres in the films shadows. Therefore they should have shadows.

a minor detail wich shouldn't ruin the game, I'm sure

How is it a solid object? Because the dowels under the computer graphics for the movies? I didn't know a laser was solid. Even if Star Wars saber can cut that doesn't mean they are solid. Just that they are hot enough to go through things. And when they meet another laser they can't pass through eachother.

I don't know what the hell I just said.

I think it's a minor all your powers get to level 3 eventually, even those you don't use

Lance- they are NOT lasers. Laser sword, Lightsabre... just a name. Those things are solid. And in any case, they DO cast shadows. And that's not just the physical rods; ILM could remove them in a trice oif they wanted. But on the contrary, for the Speical Editions they IMPROVED the look of the shadows on the sabres.

Sabres aren't hot either...

in EU they are, but for the love of the waffle, we can't use it!

You're right about Kyle's unusual rate of force advancment though, yerss. Like I say, it IS a very arcadey game.

If they are solid then how do they appear out of nowhere??? And how can they not be hot? I mean Qui-Gon stuck one in a door and it started to melt. And when they cut down the droids they were so hot the metal was turning orange.

They appear out of nowhere because they are sci-fi. Quite why you think this laser that stop after a few feet is any more believable confuses me.

And if they were THAT hot they would burn your hand off when you turned them on. And when Han turned it on on Hoth it would have melted all the snow around him.

But something that heats does NOT have to be hot. Just look at how a microwave heats.

You should go to Bob Brown's site to find out about all this.

Check out the sabre section.

And this is entirely on-topic! Because Raven used that very site to help them design the fighting stances.

strange thing is that he learns a power and then a few levels later he learns a total new one, instead all of them at once
