Looking at the old screenshots again, after having seen those gorgeous new ones, I noticed the improved saber motion blur. Behold!

Yes....it looks a lot more realistic. Actually lots of things have been improved. Look at the added detail on the stormtroopers

PreTZeL · 07-31-2001, 05:00 PM

im amazed at the differences theyve incorporated in such little time...we dont need to worry about them rushing the project it seems

**acdcfanbill** · 08-01-2001, 12:35 AM

ya, the terrible blur in the first shots bothered me, but this a much better, these fellows are pros! and, is that blood and gore i see sprayed off of the face up trooper?

Darth Lunatic · 08-01-2001, 05:56 AM

Well i didnt see this topic!! so i posted my own...well im an idiot..

BUt yes! Raven ceraintly know what they are doing when it comes to consistency with the movies!! The blur is perfect!!

Lucasarts never got it right in Obi-Wan mainly because they are a bunch of incompetent f*$ks. LOL sorry only joking...

GO RAVEN!!!! (can i kiss you collective asses?)

Yea, it bothered me also. I was worried it was starting to look the same way TPM was

PreTZeL · 08-01-2001, 04:46 PM

you have no faith in Raven!!!

its not like we have to worry about LEC screwing this game up!
im sorry...im puttin my faith into this game now!
no longer will i be skeptical like i was after the fall of OWK!
i believe in Outcast

ed_silvergun · 08-02-2001, 10:19 AM

Yeah, the saber blur in these new shots is top-notch (as we say in Blighty).

nykel007 · 08-02-2001, 10:31 AM

It's nice to see this effect incorporated, reminds me of the movies.

Hey, i have total fait in Raven, i just didnt have faith in the motion blurs at the time. I know this will be a great game, and better than we are all expecting because it is being made by Raven. They have never let me down before

nykel007 · 08-02-2001, 05:32 PM

They can do it people. Raven is going to make this thing work.

CaptainRAVE · 08-02-2001, 06:06 PM

Are there any games that havent worked for Raven??

nykel007 · 08-03-2001, 11:05 AM

I don't think so, aren't they the best in the business?

*GonkH8er* · 08-03-2001, 12:24 PM

for all intensive purposes, yes

CaptainRAVE · 08-03-2001, 05:26 PM

Actually...they probably are...AT THE MOMENT>>>>but all great things fall.

Finalnight · 08-07-2001, 04:54 PM

Only bad things I noticed is that sceenshot 2 needs some FSAA, and it looked like there was a chunk missing from Kyle's left side in screen 2.

Kumba · 08-08-2001, 06:44 PM

If Raven can take Elite force and make the first ever GOOD Star Trek game and people actually bought it (my trekkie self included) then just imagine what they are gonna do with the best StarWars game ever.... nuff said

CaptainRAVE · 08-08-2001, 06:59 PM

I totally agree. I was so impressed with Elite Force....probably the only good Star Trek game. It wasnt just a straight forward shooting everyone, but you also had to think, which sometimes made things easier. Raven are very good at making fun games and if you liked JK....then you'll be in heaven with JK2

Xeph · 08-08-2001, 07:29 PM

The stormies still look to bubbly for my tastes.

C.H.A.S. · 08-09-2001, 11:06 PM

I like the saber blur but I hope it later becomes more transparent, though that might not matter in real gameplay.

SlowbieOne · 08-10-2001, 02:17 AM

You hope it becomes transparent again? Why on earth? It looks so much more intense. I think you need to look again man.

Mafia_Jabba · 08-10-2001, 02:23 AM

Has LEC gotten smart by allowing others to develop games for them (JKII and Galaxies..btw who is developing the RPG thingy)

i assume you mean galaxies, and if so, i believe it is sony...

TheJackal_jk2 · 08-11-2001, 01:08 AM

no no no. The RPG game will be develloped by the guys who made Buldar's Gate (they are Canadian!

)

Mafia_Jabba · 08-11-2001, 02:03 AM

yea Galaxies is a MMORPG thingamabob

C.H.A.S. · 08-12-2001, 12:22 AM

I didn't say I wanted it transparent again I said I basically wanted it less thick I mean you shoud be able to semi-see through it.

Jedi Howell · 08-12-2001, 02:57 AM

Jabba:

I believe you mean, "Knights of the Old Rebublic", which is being developed by BioWare, right?

jh

?DrIfTeR? · 08-12-2001, 03:44 AM

i agree a bit more transparent but not too much would be much more realistic and betta.
/edit\ the transparency without the skipping look or the thicker triangles ,so basically a bit more transparent but smooth.the transness makes iot look more graphically intense instead of old lookin thick blur.

Sarcastic Saint · 08-12-2001, 07:54 AM

Yes SW: Knights of the Old Republic is being developed by Bioware and, some said at E3, is even more impressive then SW:Galaxies.
But i'll hold judgement on that untill i see some screenshots.

ed_silvergun · 08-12-2001, 01:00 PM

What? Knights of the Old Republic was shown at E3?

TheJackal_jk2 · 08-12-2001, 06:18 PM

Bioware is Canadian!

**acdcfanbill** · 08-12-2001, 09:26 PM

in knights also a mega-morph, or whatever the hell Galaxies is? was this the RPG that jabba was speaking of?

Mafia_Jabba · 08-12-2001, 11:29 PM

www.jediknight.net Check it out it has all the games...

*says the wise one*

But seriously..have you guys seen the galaxies screen shots..man I can't wait for that game. And check out the LEC official page that has it. I think. Yea you are right the RPG is called JOTOR or whatever....developoed by BioWare mabe...isn't varant or someone doing Galaxies?

C.H.A.S. · 08-13-2001, 02:11 AM

That is exactly what I mean Drifter.

?DrIfTeR? · 08-13-2001, 04:07 AM

aha then i agree

**acdcfanbill** · 08-13-2001, 01:36 PM

oh, well, i suppose that if i read some stuff, i might not seem like such a dumbass... well, maybe not
