Pwnage.

As long as it manages to stay non-fuct up unlike the latest pre-KOTOR batch of games.

Post your comments of shock and awe.

Personally, I think its a great idea, but its going to suck. Of course, I pretty much hate BF1942. I love my Jedi Knight games and KotOR, and look forward to Republic Commando (be a disposable clone! wheeee!). I might give this a shot if my buddy Jelly keeps trying to talk me into it.

The textures look pretty low-res on the current build they have screenies from.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

It isn't multi-format, perchance?

I've heard that those screenshots are from the PS2 version. That would at least explain the low-res textures.

But that is just what I've heard.

Aldo: Huh?

Darkblade: No, there are different screenshot sections to look at, and I was looking at the screenies from the PC section.

Meh, it's a BF1942 tag along. Nothing really innovative - just an existing idea with a well known lisence slapped on the front.

My life is neither monotonous nor inconsequential, so I'm not interested.

That and the BF1942 formula never got me.

Yes, I just love dodgy clipping problems, old graphics and lengthy, dull combat. Brilliant game ;)

You're all forgetting the fact that it could be the first Star Wars war game(isn't it..?) ever, thus making all you who question it, BF1942 clone or not, wrong.

The sims was the first game of its kind (I think.. substitute another game if I'm wrong). That doesn't mean I have to like it.

Brand label does not equal a good game.

I liked KotOR, but I'd rather play another RPG from Bioware than play an FPS from LucasArts.

I'd kill for a KotOR-II, and would certainly rather have that than another Jedi Knight or Star Wars: Battlefield.

However, Republic Commando intrigues me, for all that its just Dark Forces I all over again. I just like the idea of being a clone trooper. *heh*

*cough* lowest common denominator *cough*

Yeah, those PS2 graphics are 'a rockin'

__

You know what would be soooo cool? If the next Jedi Knight game had sort of a Splinter Cell thing going? Make it darker and more mature, it could rock. Kyle Katarn is the perfect character for it. Being a secret Jedi asskicker, not totally light-side-wussie but rather more neutral and willing to be a bit devious and dangerous when the situation calls for it....

Yeah. That's the thing that annoys me about Jedi Knight, Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy. Its all (well except for one tiny little part) slash-n-dash. There's no groovy Thief/Deus-Ex style stealth action. Give me DX style choices in a Jedi universe, and I'd be really really really happy. :D
