This is from a guy who got the play the game. You want some JA info? Look right here. Here is some backstory, then the good stuff. If u really wanna be suprised, dont read this at all. U impatient? READ FASTER!!! **As far as producers have said, NO DEMO will be released, contrary to rumors.** The Comic-Con is back here in San Diego, and for the first time, Lucasarts has a booth, and they have the next few games coming out, avialable for demo play, the FULL games, not the demos. I would have posted this sooner, cuz the comic con started July 17, and ends 2morrow, but i have been goin all days, from 10:30 to like midnight. They had KOTOR, Jedi Acadamy, Rogue Squadron 3, and Galaxies. I played JA and RS 3. The games were unfinished, but were all like 97% complete. ON a side note, i got 2 meet Skywalker himself, Mark Hammil . He was there promoin a movie about the comic con that he and a few other ppl did. Well, I know you are all anxious for the info, and there is alot 2 tell, so, sit back, pop a bottle o' bub, and dont . I was playin Jedi Acadamy. There are so many things 2 tell, but first, a note: This info was found directly thru the official Jedi Acadamy game, and thru some producers that were on hand to answer questions. I do not want posts here saying "You are wrong". You wish to debate? I wouldnt recommend it, cuz i dougt the debaters have played the game, wheras I have, and it is good. You may have another point to bring up, thats fine, but i want no insulting remarks to this info about JA. I am writing this to help you all out, not to fight about game detail. Most of u may know the obvious stuff, but read it all. If you dont believe me, well, wait till the new release month, August, as far as I know, to see if im wrong. Ok, first, the game engine is almost the same as JA. Which means that that havent rewritten the engine, which means the cheats are the same. Devmap, or helpusobi1, the god still works, giveall, etc. The spawn also works. You can spawn n e ppl from Outcast, or Acadamy. Desann? yep. A rancor? Yep. The main menue is almost the same. The character customization? Pretty good. Not great, but pretty good. There are colors for skin and saber, and there are the following models currently in there, more may be added, bt a programmer for acadamy says prob not. The models r: Kel Dor Human Rodian Twi-Lieck Zabrak (Darth Maul's species) The saber hilts? Awesome. Games start, you begin with 1 saber, and u pick a choice of like 5 hilts. Later in the game, about 1/2 way, you may get a saberstaff or double sabers. In my opinion, saberstaff isnt that good, Its pretty good, but notgreat. Double sabers? HELL YEA!!!! They are awesome!!!! I was given the cheat for them as more of a preview to the game, and they are sweet! I will be the first 2 tell you all that the best atack? Both attack and alt. attack buttons pressed at same time. Single Saber- A good forward combo of attacks Double Sabers - The sabers fly around you for a sec, killin lots o ppl. Saberstaff - Good 4ward combo, devestating to n e thing. The double saber code, i think, is (go 2 console) saber saber_4 saber_1 But they said they might change the code for it b4 release. Backstory- You are on ur way 2 the acadamy on yavin 4, when ur transport's engine blows, and u crash. You and some other looser have 2 get to the temple. You go along, saberin down trees for bridges, fightin these creatures that make a loud sound as an attack, and if u r 2 close, it paralaysis u. Once yu go along, and fight some 2 stormies, and some dark jedi, you find some sithlords in a cutscene tryin to "harness a sith energy", says an acadamy programmer, who told me alot. (I have like 7 things goin every sec on my mind bout this game, lol). You they pass out, and wake up later, and are questioned by Kyle and Luke. You then have ur choice of missions. Some i remember are a mission called Droid Recovery, where you go 2 tatooine, and u have 2 find an r2 droid who belonged 2 some trader who used it 2 record a conversation between pirates about a sith cult, but in a panic, he sold it. There is some others, but i dont remember offhand. Saber specialities There are so many new saber elements to this game, it makes outcast look lik Jedi Knight, saberwise. Single saber - nice new moves, standard saber styles (yellow, blue, red). The special is above. Double sabers - Many rotating moves, lots of widespread damage. If you de-ignite both, and hit throw, it uses just 1 saber, but only blue stance, If u switch stances, the other one comes up Saberstaff - very hurtful, has a special stance just for saberstaff combat. All of these have a forward jab that is pretty much as hurtful as the DFA. If you roll forward and hit attack, you roll and then jab toward the crotch. Force powers - Absorb, does the same as JO multi protect," " heal, splians self, but lvl 1, you have 2 stop and meditate. mindtrick, leaves u invisible drain, same as JO multi, cept you go up to the enemy, grab their eyes, and suck their life force, rage, same as JO multi, cept it dont hurt ur life, but u gotta recover. lightning, well, u know, its better in JA than in JO grip sweeter you gan grip, then chuck ur saber at that person, and even continue to grip the corpses Known characters... Well, Luke is back, and so is Kyle. When you train about 2 lvls in, ur "partner" in one arena, unleashes some kinda jedi trainer bot on you. Its easy 2 kill. Kyle yells at him later for it, sayin "If that jedi trainin droid was set to skywalkers lvl, it would killed him!" (him bein you) And guess what? Memba Tavion? Shes back! Im not sure specificiaially, but i heard many possibilies from lots of lucasarts JA producers, and in a saved mission, one objective (a tab key press) was to "Kill Tavions minions", so either tavion loyalists, or tavion herslef, is in it. Chewbacca is in it, and so is possibly Han and Leia. Chewy mentions them when you encounter him and the M. Falcon, so you might see them, i dunno tho. Also, when fightin rancor, stay away so he cant grab you, or else he eats u. Apparently, Mark Hammil isnt in it, cuz he was askin for 2 much money. Lando isnt in it. Well, I hope this info helps you JA fans. I know its helped me out, actually playing Jedi Acadamy!!! OMG!!!! When i wasnt lookin round convention, i was playin Jedi Acadamy. For the Rogue Squad' 3 fans I will share just a bit of the brief time I played on that game: Only the battle of hoth was avialable to play. You have to go under 2 walkers, tow-cable up to the underside, saber a hole, and throw a charge inside. Then, run to a tauntaun, ride it to the other side of the field, and then mount a repeater heavy laser cannon, destroy some atst's, then you fly an x-wing to cover 3 transports, and it is NOT easy at all. You fly strait? ur gonna get a tie on ur tail. You gotta kill bombers to save them, but flyin in a full sky environment is hard. Fighters everywhere, and the transports are slow as hell. Well, n e other questions, I will try to take them as best as I can from my 3 hour experience with the long awiaited game. The PC supposedly comes out in august, with the x-box vsn coming out a few weeks after. _______________ What is the difference between love and Herpes? Herpes lasts forever.

I dunno if any of you can answer this - Jake, DB? But I was wondering about Absorb in JA. It did what it was supposed to do in JO......basically. But my only beef with it was that you couldn't jump over a pit and safely land on the other side if someone pushed/pulled you while you were in mid air. Is this fixed in JA? - Virty.  _______________ Academy Architect |

very good DB, I can't argue with that.. Oh wait!! yes I can muhahaha. The problem with this article is that it contains stuff about playing the game (ie specific levels and what to do etc) and you didn't put a *SPOILER* notice at the top  Thats naughty DB, as some people out there don't wanna know what happens yet.DB 1 Jake 3 _______________ Apprenctice of Jedi Master Ascari (deceased) Descended from a line of great Jedi Will argue any point of view from any side
