Lots of mirrors.

thx, I really cant wait for this game to be released. And even think I'm gonna buy it!

I can't wait for the game to come out. It looks massive. I love concept. I'll download the demo now. When it come out again? Feb, right?

February 16

Downloading. I wasn't impressed by some of the pics, though.

I just finished the demo and I think this game is gonna be real good.
The cinematic mode is nice to use during battles and when this game gets a good multiplayermode I think it's gonna be great!

It'd be sweet if you could have a 4 player multiplayer mode, where 2 people battle on the ground, and the other 2 battle in space...so each person has to play well to support their teammate.

Is Lucasarts ever impressive when it comes to graphics? Bounty Hunter had the best of their recent things...and that wasn't even recent.

I had to cancel the download because it went from ten minutes to 21 hours.

And no, Lucasarts never splurges on graphics.

Get it there, I downloaded the demo in under a half hour. Every other source I tried went about 20kb/s, tops, from that source it went about 500kb/s.

Myself I downloaded at fileplanet and it went rather fast (wasn't at home though so dunno exactly how long it took).

These are the best looking graphics I've ever seen in a Star Wars game.

I completed the demo and I am satisfied as I forsaw. I will buy the game. You can use Vader, Boba Fett, the Death Star, it's multiplayer and more..

I saw the controls options and it has alot of Force options to chose from.

The game seems pretty hard but once you play a couple of times you get the knack for it and you'll do well, cinematics are beautiful and the graphic are super sweet. Well, i have alot of gigs and a nice video card i guess thats why. I'm able to play smoothly with all the graphical settings and options turned up to the max.

Cant wait for 2/16.

I hope at some point LucasArts stops being cheap and puts great graphics into their games.

Ya, by the marketing and hype, i thought it would be incredible, but it looks like and old C&C.

Yeah, and maybe a bit of real world physics. Sure its Star Wars and it has its own rules, but would it kill them to make one-hit-kill headshots, or pile in a bunch of debris and stuff like HL2....Republic Commando, Bounty Hunter and Battlefront could have been so much better....

I would rather have great gameplay and average graphics then great graphics and a sucky game... The first one will keep you entertained a lot longer. And the second they start spending huge parts of their budget on something like graphics they are wasting resources...

But they have great games now, they could only improve by adding better visuals. Take...say....KOTOR....awesome game, pretty average graphics for its release. Amp up the models a bit and make it look more polished, and it'd feel like a better game.

I agree, but take Kotor II for instance, the budget was already tight the game was rushed, what if they would have spend more time on graphics and more money on graphics...
