Why they shouldn't have a new engine just yet
Darth Ni replied to ampulator00's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
"What ain't broke don't need fixing" Yea yea yea but the engine is old. I still think its a good engine but many other people don't including gaming sites such as gamespot, ign, xbn (which is comprised of retards but people still read it...). If this is the case, many people won't buy the game so it won't be profitable so they probably will have to create a new engine right? There is no point in pouring millions into a game if only a few buy it... -

Let me extend my congradulations to Obsidian. I have no doubt this will be better than the original KotOR. -

Darth Ni replied to Darth Riker Ketra's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
Yea but those games haven't showed up on the PC yet so there will still be some hype when HALO 2, GTA 5, maybe MGS3 (unlikely to be ported ) get ported. Well, there could be certain games that will show up unannounced. Besides, there are some games which only become popular after they are released. At ONE TIME, people may not have thought of KotOR as being a huge success. Anything is possible. Also GOA, when is Jade Empire coming out? Isn't supposed to be a big hit and I am not too up to date with the latest gaming news. PS : A new C&C game is coming out and we all know how they make a big hype... -

I doubt the PC version will be GOTY for 2005 because by Q4 2005, there will be a LOT of better games on the market. I'm not trying to insult KotOR but there will be better games, it can't remain the best forever... (Unless ofcourse we are dealing with the Atari 2600 - LONG LIVE THE ATARI 2600 ) -
My lightsaber...*NO SPOILERS*
Darth Ni replied to ZethstaBane's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
I hear Bao-Dur helps you with that. Why do we get a jedi who can't even make his own lightsaber ON HIS OWN? -
Do your rich parents have any interest in adopting me? I'll send them Christmas and birthday cards in return for them buying me a new computer. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'll second that, can they adopt me too? Please? I'll send them candy too not just cards. And then, they could celebrate my birthday by you know, purchasing a Plasma, a new PC, that kind of stuff. I'm sure it wouldn't compromise their financial situation... right? There are people who just don't realise how much they have and don't realise how generous they can be..... Its worth a try right???

Thanks Jad'en but i think you were referring to Mongoose. Mongoose, not to start a flame war but I have to make a few points. However let me just start off by saying that you are right about one thing, my original statement was wrong. This prompted me to do a little research... With Computer Video Cards and computer programming, the actual frame rate can vary. Pushing the Human Eye past 30 FPS to 60 FPS and even 120 FPS is possible, ask the video card manufacturers, an eye doctor, or a Physiologist. We as humans CAN and DO see more than 60 frames a second. You see, the reason this is true is because we dont see in frames. The Human Eye perceives information continuously. You could say we perceive the external visual world through streams, and only lose it when our eyes blink. I will attempt to explain to you how the Human Eye can perceive much past the misconception of 30 FPS and well past 60 FPS, even surpassing 200 FPS. We humans see light when its focused onto the retina of the eye by the lens. Light rays are perceived by our eyes as light enters - well, at the speed of light. Information is continuously streamed to us due to the fact that we live in an infinite world. Our retinas interpret light in several ways with two types of cells; the rods and the cones. These cells are responsible for all aspects of recieving the light rays from our retinas. Calculations such as intensity, color, and position (relative to the cell on the retina) are all forms of information transmitted by our retinas to our optic nerves. The optic nerve in turn sends this data through its pipeline (at the nerve impulse speed), on to the Visual Cortex portion of our Brains where it is interpreted. Rods are the simpler of the two cell types, as the really only interprets shapes. Since Rods are light intensity specific cells, they respond very fast, and to this day rival the quickest response time of the fastest computer. Rods control the amount of neurotransmitter released which is basically the amount of light that is stimulating the rod at that precise moment. Scientific study has proven upon microscopic examination of the retina that there is a much greater concentration of rods along the outer edges. Cones are the second retina specialized cell type, and these are much more complex. Cones on our retinas are the equivalent of RGB inputs that monitors use. The three parts of the cones absorb different wavelengths of light and release differing amounts of different neurotransmitters depending on the wavelength and intensity of that light. Each cone has three receptors that receive red, green, or blue in the wavelength spectrum. Depending on the intensity of each wavelength, each receptor will release varying levels and types of neurotransmitter on through the optic nerve, and in some cases, no neurotransmitter. Due to the fact that our cones have 3 receptors as opposed to 1, their response time is less due to their complexity. Our Optic nerves are the path by which our lens, then retina transmit the visual data on to our Brain for interpretation. This all begins with a nerve impulse in the optic nerve triggered by a neurotransmitter in the retina. This entire option takes less than a picosecond to occur. A picosecond is one trillionth of a second, so in reality, theoretically, we can calculate our eyes "response time" and then to theoretical frames per second (However, this isn

Definetly, San Andreas doesn't even have a proper storyline. MGS3 has a touching and intriguing plot unlike GTA where you get points by killing people. HALO2 wasn't the best game ever but it was definetly a good one. These idiots (Spike TV) don't know how to rate games... -
This is turning more into insults than discussion. About the "most things you write aren't true", you are incorrect. Accepted, I didn't know the X600 came only as PCI-Express. Also, there is nothing else you can do but overclock the card or unmask the extra pipelines. Don't post incorrect facts. One more thing, its 30 FPS so don't post wrong information :D. The human eye can only notice a drop if the FPS goes below 30. In the interests of not continuing this pointless discussion, I recommend you stop posting garbage. For your information, you did not win, I just dont see the point of arguing this. Calm down, get a glass of water...

If u could run KotOR I, you will probably be able to run KotOR II. See how it runs first before an upgrade or just wait until they release the sytem requirements. The system requirements are not 100% accurate though due to the variations in PC configurations. If your processor is for example 200mhz slower than the requirements but your video card is waaay above them, you will still be able to run the game. KotOR required something like 1.2 GHz and I ran on 900 so don't upgrade just yet. Try playing the game on your PC and see how it goes.

I'm afraid to read the spoiler? Is it big?

Definetly, even the original KotOR was a better game even though it was from last year... -
Well, they're both very powerful Jedi no doubt (Revan and the Exile).

Why they shouldn't have a new engine just yet
Darth Ni replied to ampulator00's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
If there is to be a KotOR III, they need a new game engine. You cant use HL2's engine because its an FPS. Ofcourse, you could take examples from HL2's engine and use them in creating a new game engine. For example, you could make the environment fully interactive, you have to also improve the graphics, and you could give the NPCs facial impressions etc. Ofcourse, this would take years to do and then we would have to debug but it would be an amazing game and this engine could be used for later productions. -
Yay! The great Progenitor Sajuuk ("His hand who shapes what is") is here. If you have no idea of what I'm talking about, then you should play Homeworld. Homeworld was truly the best RTS game I have ever played. Its sequel Homeworld 2 while having cool grapihcs and all didn't give me the same experience I had with Homeworld but they are both very good games. Forgive my rambling, I tend to get a bit carried away sometimes. Welcome to the forums Sajuuk.

Agreed, probably very few video games (I can't think of any) get turned into movies but movies can get turned into video games. At one time they were thinking of making a Deus Ex movie but its probably been cancelled.

***UNOFFICAL KOTOR 3 WISHLIST***
Darth Ni replied to Craftsman's topic in Star Wars: General Discussion
I have to agree with the SAME TIME RELEASE THING. I don't know if I can wait this long for the game to come out for PC and I definetly survive a delay. Next time, release the PC first or the game at the same time for both systems. -
Yea... but wouldn't it be a waste of money to buy the same game twice? Patience my friend...

I suppose you could try the /prefetch:1 on the shortcut though it doesn't work w/ every application. For more windows xp tweaks visit this place. Also you can get an application called Tweak XP from here.

How could you be so cruel Ghost? You know how desperately Nur is waiting for that game... We all know how much he loves Revan and HK-47 and how the EU is garbage and KotOR II is the ultimate guide.
