Fardragon Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 TSL interview at TheForce.net: here. Interesting info about ranged weapons. Everyone knows Science Fiction is really cool. You know what PoE really needs? Spaceships! There isn't any game that wouldn't be improved by a space combat minigame. Adding one to PoE would send sales skyrocketing, and ensure the game was remembered for all time!!!!!
OLD SKOOL WHEELMAN Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 As for species, we've added quite a few aliens into the game - KOTOR had most of the prominent Star Wars aliens, we've tried to add any they didn't have and then spent the rest of our time trying to increase the variety of humankind in the game. Good, but they better let the Wookiee win... Battle Meditation can have an event-level effect on mass battles, and you can use Mind Trick to distract enemies as you're sneaking by them - it makes stealth-based missions easier on thief-like characters. He he... Second, we have a number of quests in the game that can only be performed by specific characters while other characters are doing something else. As an example, think of Episode 4 where C3P0 and R2D2 had to hang out in that control room while Han, Chewie and Luke went off to find Leia. I think I just peed my pants...
sickboycp Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 [Chris Parker] This is something we'll be releasing a lot more information about in the future as we get closer to shipping. This stock answer's driving me crazy! I almost hope Lucasarts keep the earlier release date so we can just get all the new information a lot quicker.
Judge Hades Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 What I don't understand why the hell would they go out of their way to make alien races when you can't play as one. Sounds like an awful waste.
GhostofAnakin Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Interesting article. A few of the things mentioned get me excited about the release of this game even more. "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)

I know man, it really irks me when they get around the questions like that. But hey, what can you do? PlayMoreConsoles TheForce.net
GhostofAnakin Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 I'm not excited. You've said that 1000 times already, troll boy. "Console exclusive is such a harsh word." - Darque"Console exclusive is two words Darque." - Nartwak (in response to Darque's observation)
Victus Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 KOTOR story > Prequels story I don't care for total freedom, as long as there's a good story and has the basic mechanics of a game.
Judge Hades Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 I just like to make my own character instead of being forced to play the developers.
Judge Hades Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 What else is there though? What other CRPGs are going to be out on the market?
Rensei Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 You were forced to play the Nameless One in Torment, look how well that turned out.
Judge Hades Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 How well it turned out? Being forced to play the Nameless one was a joke and one of the major things I hated about that game.
Judge Hades Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Already do. Every Thursday. Got a session coming up in 2 hours.
Victus Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 There you go. Now, I'm gonna go and play some Halo CE.
Judge Hades Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Halo CE? I have to say that Halo 2 looks good and I might like to give it a try. I am not usually a FPS gamer but man doe that game look sweet.
Opus131 Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 How well it turned out? Far better then any other game where i had to create a character of my own.... Opus131
pharcyde Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 I'm not excited. Quit being a negative nancy. prostytutka
Drakron Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 I'm not excited. Quit being a negative nancy. He IS right. Developers today say almost nothing, useful information is most of the time burried under the "marketing" phases that are simply the same damn thing we hear all the time. That is why I only bother to read previews and flip over message boards because developers interviews say little now, we most get meanless "hype" about things. Take this as a example, they say the game will allow for a sequel and yet they say epic levels are in so I wonder what exactly that means, I cannot imagine a sequel of a game were I simply break Star Wars level limits, its absurd to play a game that starts with enemies of Yoda level so direct sequels are out if we reach high levels in this game and if we dont why bother to implement epic levels anyway? Conflicting information or information that does not make sense if we take a deep look at it. Welcome to the gaming world of 2004.
Meshugger Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Second, we have a number of quests in the game that can only be performed by specific characters while other characters are doing something else. As an example, think of Episode 4 where C3P0 and R2D2 had to hang out in that control room while Han, Chewie and Luke went off to find Leia. That one i liked the most. Hopefully, they'll manage utilize it at its best potential, giving the same feeling ANH had. "Some men see things as they are and say why?""I dream things that never were and say why not?"- George Bernard Shaw"Hope in reality is the worst of all evils because it prolongs the torments of man."- Friedrich Nietzsche "The amount of energy necessary to refute bull**** is an order of magnitude bigger than to produce it." - Some guy
Victus Posted June 17, 2004 Posted June 17, 2004 Halo CE? I have to say that Halo 2 looks good and I might like to give it a try. I am not usually a FPS gamer but man doe that game look sweet. Halo online for the PC. Gearbox released a "Custom Edition" Halo so you can play custom maps and whatnot. Yea, Halo 2 looks really good.
