Jade Empire Coming to PC

[May 08] The mysterious world of Jade Empire is coming to PC with stunning high-resolution graphics and new visual effects. The original, critically acclaimed story is injected with new content, all exclusively designed for the PC.

  • Customizable, intuitive controls including support for game-pads and keyboard/mouse.
     
  • Increased graphics resolutions and new visual effects.
     
  • New monsters and enemies.
     
  • New fighting styles.
     
  • Improved combat AI and difficulty levels.
     
  • New world map interface.

:thumbsup:

The part about the controls disappoints me. It more'n likely means "Well you can 'get by' with a keyboard and mouse, but really, you should use a gamepad, because the camera's going to kill you repeatedly and every time you die the dark souls who devolped this abomination of a control system are going to be laughing at your torment."

 

:( Seriously, anybody else played The Two Thrones on PC? >_<

Says the man who has a wholesale hardware purchasing account ... :-"

You should highlight improved combat AI too.

I was trying not to overdo the highlights ... especially when the control system may just be "mouse-and-keyboardified" (and still compatible with the gamepad!), and the improved AI might turn out to be less than impressive ... O! The monsters aren't running off the cliff to their death! Wow!

Those bullet points really sound like it could be anything from "Virtually Nothing" to "A lot". New fighting styles, for example - it might either be one half-assed style or one-two well done ones, same with monsters, combat AI (that might not even be noticable), etc.

 

Still, any new additions are good.

Yup. Which is why one shouldn't buy the game *just* for those enhancements but only if you want JE for PC on its own merits (good or bad)>

Yes. And having played it once, I see no reason to, myself. I guess it's a good buy for others who missed out on Oblivion or are finjished with it already.

Same here. Not buying it when it comes. Probably well when it's $20 to add to my PC Game Collection; though... But, I cna't justify a purchase of a game at full price I already played/owned espicially since I gave others like Eldar a hard real time for doing that with KOTOR. LOL

 

Maybe the price will go down enough a year or two after its PC release. If not, oh well.

For a moment I thought you were Hades.

Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.

I'm only 5 hours in on the Xbox version so I may hold off playing the rest of it and get it for the PC. Mainly it would be for the visuals. Although, the game seems like it was meant to be played with a controller so I'm interested to see how the whole mouse/keyboard play is gonna work.

Godammit people! Haven't you learned yet? One little smirk about Jade Empire, may it be sarcastic or not, will summon an immidiate r00fles to the thread, followed by 15-page discussion about something we all already know: Volourn likes JE :(
