I liked the swoop sequence in JA. One of my favourite levels, in fact. And the controls were adequate to the task, IMHO. I'd love to see vehicles like that in CRPG.

Yah, just the JA turning was a little...impossible. You either got someone head on head or you missed. It made using blasters impossible.

It's not just that, Shin. JA needs a serious patch to make it OBEY the settings you put into options. I had it very deliberately set to "NO SLOW MOTION DEATHS" because it ****ed up that level, you bumped into things while it was doing slowmos of kills, and moving your view behind you. Other than that, I didn't like the swoop level because losing the bike was an 'autodeath' basically, in field.

I actually won by dismounting. Got them all couped up and ran by swinging my saber. I killed everyone following me (all 4 of them) and proceded to get the next bike.

I avoided most of them with out killing anyone (I killed like 2 people who went up beside me).

the speeder lvl was MUCH BETTER in Shadows of the Empire.

 

the one in JA was a joke.

the whole game was a joke and thats why i regrat buying it

I'm talking about the idea, not the specifics of how well it worked or how badly it failed. I had forgotten about the Shadows of the empire speeder lvl. That was fun. The concept of both should be incorporated into swoop racing. Anyone ever played the tatooine racing in Rogue Squadron? Another idea to use.

I think Shadows of the Empire was one of the better Star Wars titles despite it being on the N64.

So would it be a good idea to completely alter the style of swoop racing from a straightaway to a track?

Either was is fine with me. I think multiple laps on a track would be better because there is no room for error in a 20 second race. More importantly, I'd like to race against someone on the track rather than racing against a clock. Even if it was only 1-on-1 heats, it would be a vast improvement.

agreed.

I'd prefer a genuine quarter mile drag race except with swoop bikes. Four bikes take the starting line all waiting for the green light and then flying down the track where you can cut others off and draft off of them to make the finalpass right at the finish line. A cool upgrade would be the Star Wars equivalent of NOS.

Exactly. It would also make swoop modification/upgrades be more essential if you have a longer track/straightaway.

What about the pit maneuver? Can I do the pit maneuver? Please?

What is the pit maneuver?

I would like to Be able to buy extra boosters change hype it up my cutom one would probably be th ugliest one but it would smoke anything on the track

And you can wreck other racers on the track with you.

What is the pit maneuver?

The Precision Immobilization Technique, or pit maneuver, is when someone, usually like the cops, uses their front bumper to stop you by administering force with the right corner of their bumper to the left corner of your rear bumper, or vice versa; which then causes you to fishtail out of control...it's pretty cool...but you can get out of it...

Yeah but if they break abruptly you could spinout if your not careful.

Aye, that's why you have to use it when the time is right...but it is funny when a guy can evade the cops like that...

C.O.P.S.

Grand Theft Auto: Sith Andreas - coming soon!

 

Well, it's been too long since I've updated the Questions of the Dev's Take 2 sticky. I need to take all the news about upgradable swoops and the like and do some updates.

Definately...I guess this topic has no more pep left...goodbye swoop bike topic...farewell...

What about playing chicken on swoop bikes, let's talk about what a cool feature that would be.
