After JA, I abandoned the JK series. There was fun, but the games themselves were disappointments. I wanted a wholesome, developed FPS; JO and JA were mop jobs.

Right now UT2k4 is filling my cravings. The game is visually awesome, and the gamemodes are outstandingly enjoyable. Big maps, vehicles, awesome weapons . . . what more would I need?

Star Wars . . . a nice ingredient . . . .

There is where Republic Commando comes in. The game looks freakin' awesome (especially because the ancient Q3TA engine isn't used). I am psyched.

It's not he SW FPS I've been waiting for. I want to see EWOK WARRIOR Where you run around with spears and bow and arrows and rocks and kill a bunch of stormtroopers who cant shoot straight. I believe we should start a petition here at massassi to get this game off the ground. Who's with me?

Hey Chuckles, get Super Return of the Jedi. You can play as Wicket. His Bow owned.

Yeah, how's this for odd? My parents haven't been the least bit interested in my love-life my entire life, and now that prom is soon my Dad all of a sudden seems concerned that if I don't find a date and go it will mean I'm a social failure.
I don't get it... I accepted that fact a long time ago, why is he just now realizing it?
- Correction

I'm looking forwards to Republic Commando. I think it might turn out better than JO/JA, the screenshots that I've seen so far all look really cool. Apparently the gameplay will be a lot like the gameplay in Freedom Fighters, which will be a nice change of pace for the Star Wars FPS genre. Also, the game is shipping with a map editor, which I think is a first for a PC Star Wars game.

Pit Droids came with a map editor.

A second then. Regardless, its a rarity among Star Wars games.

I see that as a very large possibility, yes. LEC will more than likely screw it up somehow. If they don't, it'll just be a game like JO that was an awesome game for about 4 months and then died off. It looks great, but I have serious doubts.

I lost faith in the Jedi Knight series after Outcast. To this day, I have not seen any more than maybe FOUR really good decent single player maps. Multiplayer is not friendly over 56k, whenever I could arrange a game, it ended up as a game with cheats enabled. Low gravity, bullet time, etc. Had some pretty sweet screens awhile back...

JDKNITE, are you sure UT2k4 has that good of graphics? They look dated to me.

I always try to remain optimistic about upcoming games, despite the fact that there have been so many failures over years past. That being said, I try to avoid getting hyped up for games because of the anger I felt when Obi Wan was screwed up a few years ago. I was on those damn forums for a friggin year praising everything about that game, only to be disappointed. My optimism has its limits in other words...

Dated? No way... They look better than Far Cry IMO but painkiller wins at the moment.

I have pretty high hopes for this, it looks pretty good to me.

One thing I noticed, is that the art style seems to be a bit.. off.. from what's seen in the movies (notably, the clone's helmets, and the battledroid's eyes, and the geonosians look damn scarier than they did in AotC), but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

So, yeah. I'm looking forward to it, I think it'll be fun.. and stuff..

Then again, this is coming from someone who loved JO, JA, TPM, AotC, And all three movies in the Matrix trilogy. So I guess we'll have to see.

------------------
Moo.

Wow, there were any decent ones? I must have missed that. Names!

Meanwhile, I don't get my hopes up about ANY LucasArts games these days. That way I don't have my spirits easily crushed when A) they can it, B) declare it console only or C) it SUCKS. If it turns out well, I'll take it as a pleasant surprise...and in recent years only KOTOR has fallen into that last bucket for me.

This is the first time I've looked at screenshots of the game, and it looks awesome. Now, to read about it.

------------------
I can't think of anything to put here right now.

If you have an extremely good computer, UT2K4 looks asbolutely fantastic. Not dated at all, but maybe not as good as Painkiller. Haven't tried Painkiller yet.

------------------
Eat the pudding.

UT2K4 is DX8, Far Cry is DX9, and sexy. Painkiller tries, but is surpassed by Far Cry.

What are you *on*?

Admittedly though, ut2k4 is alot of fun.
