Random comment - I read on IGN that this game is going to be for the PS3. They are building the engine from scratch.

Wanna know more? Go here

dude it looks so cool but the story from this video doesnt look like it is foloing any jedi sith story, did u see how the jedi was using lightning on the stormtrooper? Jedi Cant use lightning only sith lol Flaw in the Vid/ game designers i guess:confused:


Mysteries of the Sith cleared this up with a form of ambiguity that I'm not particularly fond of. In essence, you could use Heal, Blind, Choke, Lightning, whatever you wished, but your force affiliation was determined by whom you used it on. Likewise, this same idea worked itself into JA, the only difference being that you could not use both Light and Dark side
powers.


Sared is right about MotS. MotS took the view that some of Kyp's crew took during NJO. A Jedi, if his intentions are true, can use the Force for offensive (can be looked upon as agressive) purposes, so this would include choke, lightning, etc. Also, in MotS, Kyle went off the Dark Side end, so that could have been a warning for others about this view heh ;)

Actually they have stated somewhere that the tech demo shown there will have no baring on the actual storyline for the game - i doubt they have made a mistake, and regardless i think you will find it would be easy to work into the story a Jedi using force lightning, again i point you towards Kyle Katarn :P

So far every thing I'v read about this game dosen't mention a pc version, it would realy suck if this was console only. Besides that it looks cool.

Nice interview.

Well, you probably Force pushed a stormtrooper or two as Kyle Katarn in a Jedi Knight game, right? Imagine if that stormtrooper was able to stop his progress by grabbing onto a railing and then proceeded to grab a gun beside him and fire back at Kyle -- all this because his biomechanical AI simply knew that that's the best thing for him to do. That's euphoria in action.

Now, imagine that Kyle pushes another stormtrooper into a building with so much force that you'd expect the stormtrooper to make a permanent dent in the wall. That happens with DMM, and no matter how many times you throw that stormtrooper into that wall, it will look different every single time, and still always look authentic. In fact, if you hit him hard enough and the building is dilapidated enough, the whole thing might collapse on the stormtrooper, because DMM also takes into account the actual physical mass of an object and the ways in which objects are constructed. Even with euphoria in place, there's no getting up from that!


They mentioned Kyle! Lets hope they keep the Jedi Knight series in their thoughts.. The AI sounsd great as well, if they can pull it off.

Yoda only knew because he felt the great disturbance in the Force as many other Jedi came under attack and were killed. Then he knew something was up, and he noticed the malice in the clones.

well thats alot of surviving jedi they could hav re-built i guess and with only 2 sith and like 20-30 jedi wouldn't be too hard lol


Well thats just it, how did 2 Sith (Really only 1 mastermind as well) cause the fall of the Republic and the destruction of the Old Jedi Order? It would seem impossible on paper with thousands of Jedi serving at the time. However Palpatine managed it. We know little of the 'Purge' Era, between III and IV, however it seems that few true Jedi Masters survived the purge, as many were acting as Generals in the Clone Wars and were promptly taken out in Order 66. The two most well known survivors of that were Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda, although Quinlan Vos also survived nothing is known of what became of him.

Most of the other surviving jedi were apprentices or Knights, and even those Masters that did survive did not have the ability, power, or leadership to bind all the surviving jedi into a cohesive unit to combat the new Empire and to hide from their hunters. Those that did band together either survived in hiding or were rooted out through treachery and the darkside etc.

Saz also makes a good point that after the fall of the Republic, the Empire (and thus the Sith) took control of all the Republic (and i believe the now defeated CIS) forces and utilities. This meant that it had a huge standing army, the strongest and largest fleet in the galaxy, and all the worlds previously under the banner of the Republic and CIS. It did not help the Jedi that after the attempt on Palpatine's life they were branded as traitors and hated by the general public, there were of course people that remembered the true jedi however much of the galaxy was convinced that they were traitors. The Empire further added to their problems by putting massive bounties on all Jedi, they were hunted by almost everyone during that period.

actually i heard and/or read in some preview
that you will be playing a dark side character...
with all the darth vader artwork we have its quite possible we will be playing the dark lord himself.

Actually that is not in fact the case, many more jedi survived the initial execution of Order 66 that we see in Episode III, there are various articles and tales of different Jedi being hunted and killed or turned to the darkside. There are Jedi that went into hiding and whose legacy continues after Episode VI, also its not unlikley that the player will be given the choice of playing as a dark character, or even Darth Vader himself especially considering one peice of concept art shows Vader killing wookiees. A good example of a jedi that survived the purge is Qu Rahn from Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight. He survived the purge only to be killed by Jerec not long after ROTJ. Another example is the camassi Ylenic Itkla however he died during Alderaan's destruction.

indeed the game is set during the jedi purge and i would guess you play a jedi trying to get away or trying to save whats left of the jedi order but this would then bring up problems with the series because yoda and obi 1 are the only 1's left =/

Seems to me the timeframe would have to be post-episode VI. There are stormies, and I don't recall any of the jedi having force powers like that in episode 3.(or any of the movies). Most sources believe it will be a 360/PS3 only game, tho we don't know for sure. Even if it isn't JK4 it still looks like it will be awesome.


The only problem with that theory, is that several art sources feature Darth Vader, this goes with the persistant rumours that a Darth Vader action game is in the works. Personally i am betting it will be set between III and IV, that is one period Lucas' various companies are focusing on right now the jedi purge, the upcoming live action tv show is going to be set then as well.

Further evidence was that some of the stormtroopers had coloured stripes on their armour remenisant of Clone Troopers. Don't forget that after EpIII the Clone armies became stormtroopers with the formation of the Empire.
