I loved using the force in SW:JK2. I can only hope it is as much fun again.

Lightsaber and force only. Oh the fun!!!

You arent the first guy to get that impression so I think I should point something out right now, this is not an official sequel to the Jedi Knight series. This is a new game with supposedly all new gameplay. Hopefully it will be as fun and maybe even a little reminiscant, but its got little to do with the previous Lucas Arts titles.

Getting excited over this because you like Jedi Knight is like getting worked up for Bridges of Madison County because you absolutely loved Dirty Harry.

Hopefully it wont be as big a disappointment. Though if it ends up being really good, I too want a PC version.

I think I have to buy a 360 again. Mass Effect and SWFU. Bad enough us PC users had to wait quite a bit for the KotoR pc ports.

the video in a better resolution: http://www.computerandvideogam.../article.php?id=180681

Yeah it looks pretty sweet, would be great if it came to PC...otherwise I'll probably get it for my PS3.

looks cool. they seem to be trying to make it "realistic" but they throw a guy at a TIE fighter and it explodes? wtf? also, breaking the glass in space and the enemies go flying out the window, but your character is completely unaffected? they also throw a guy at some barrels and they explode. just seems like for all the cool stuff, they're still doing unrealistic retarded stuff.

Probably just using those situations as a tech demo... I'm guessing they'll implement the effects in a more realistic way in the shipping product... in the video they keep talking about how they wanted it to be a realistic simulator, so hopefully they'll be true to that. Looks pretty cool... the Euphoria AI seems like it has potential to add some new wrinkles.

Yeah, what were they thinking, right? That's ridiculous. Now about those swords that are also lasers and can cut through anything - Oh! And can we talk for a second about a magical force that can be used to lift heavy objects AND choke a man to death.

:roll:

Indeed. I thought the same thing when I read his post whining about realism in a setting that involves the Force, laser pistols and space ships zooming through space.

Then you thought wrong. In the SW universe laser swords and force powers exist, but so do the vacuum of space and the general principles of physics like gravity, momentum and mass. I don't think asking for consistency with the movie canon is unreasonable. If your character could teleport (beam) from one place to another, fans would complain not because it was unrealistic, but because that technology doesn't exist in that universe (that I know of anyway).

The next thing I know you'll be telling me that a flux capacitor is a work of fiction.

Translation: You've proven your point sirjonk and I have nothing further to add to this conversation so I'll digress into non sequitur sarcasm.

What about explosions in spac...wait - no. I'm not having this conversation.

What's it like to be that guy?

Frink: Yes, over here, n'hey, n'hey. In episode BF12, you
were battling barbarians while riding a winged
Appaloosa, yet in the very next scene, my dear,
you're clearly atop a winged Arabian. Please do
explain it.
Lawless: Ah, yeah, well, whenever you notice something like
that, a wizard did it.
Frink: I see, all right, yes, but in episode AG4 --
Lawless: Wizard.

I realize I risk being extremely childish here, but some jokes just need to be said. This game is one letter away from having one of the best game acronyms of all time ... if only it were Star Trek: Force Unleashed. Sooo close to true greatness.

thats why i put realistic in quotes, you dumbass. i meant realistic as in game physics, not realistic as in story.

for a forum of people who should be smart, you guys sure are retarded.

just another case of jshmuck being a troll.

You know, for a guy "aspiring" to mod status - you sure can be a douchebag.

So we would all post on Anandtech about STFU?

I think it would be ok if there was some explanation like he used the force to keep himself grounded. Seeing as you can move and push things with the force, I don't see why he can't use it to somehow keep himself from flying out. As for the barrels, who knows whats in em, likewise for the tie fighter. Would it be better if some exploded and some didn't?
