Star wars goodness?

[Piecemak3r]

ok who is making a jedi like mod with light sabers? I want one, NOW DAMN IT! *grin* that would be sooooooooo tight on the hl2 engine.

(doesnt have to be "star wars" just w/ light sabers )

 

[X.a.n.d.e.r]

whats the point, theres soo many starwars games out, who wants another one :bounce:

 

[Piecemak3r]

ahhh but is there one built on the hl2 "source" engine with all the cool ass effects and physics? I THINK NOT! Even the new jedia academy is still based on the crappy quake 3 engine

 

[[SH_Dev]Unwante]

Yeah , it is based on the crappy Quake3 engine , but the crappy quake3 engine is still rewritten to suite Jedi Academy´s type o gameplay .... I dont think any mod will come near that .....

So much more could be done by a talented mod team in the Source engine. Everything is better in the source engine.

... and the manipulator is perfect for a force power.

AMEN.

Yeah, I too want to see a star wars game in source...
But more adventuring and less deathmatch!!! NONE (and I do mean none) of the SW games have shown the Star Wars Universe as it should be. Dark Forces was primitive. JK was primitive with fancy graphics. JKO was quite good, it made sense. JKA was horrible, you just kill and kill and kill. That's not the way of the Jedi. I want more adventuring, more story and less killing. All the other spinoffs are not much worth mentioning (many good games, many bad games, but no adventure in true Star Wars spirit).
I havent played KOTOR yet though... That's said to be pretty good. Damn XBox and Microsoft deliberatly delaying it.

KOTOR rocks. Nuff said.

 

[Syko]

I want KOTOR...

Force Grip with ragdoll physics == FUN!

Make it so if you shake them too hard, you snap their neck.

Hey guys

Im project leader on the Galactic Conquest mod for battlefield1942. If you havent heard of it, its a star wars themed mod for the battlefield engine. Even though modding a game to Star Wars stuff is cool and attracts alot of fans, it is definately not a good idea.

At the moment Galactic Conquest is negotiating with Lucas Arts in order to keep our project safe, but its not likely they pick up on every mod or game like this thats unofficial.

I honestley think theres a huge hazard in attemtping a Star Wars mod on the Half Life 2 engine, purely because the physics for it would make it a very popular mod/game, and i doubt Lucas Arts would like that.

There was talk of Galactic Conquest porting onto the HL2 engine but its doubtful now.

just my 2 cents

Troopers.. JKA.. enough recent Star Wars-based games around!

Yeah right, There are like a dozen WW2 mods going around but I have yet to see a single descent Star Wars "mod". This not including Troopers.

I have actually been thinking of this very Idea. But set in the future were the jedi are on the brink of extinction. Then a great enemy seeks to unlock the powers of the dark force and only the Jedi can "save the day". With the ability to do vast out door scenes I have been thinking of some interesting Ideas. One of wich was a bike speeder chase through a desert kinda area that eventually leads through a tight, rocky canyon the whole time fight off bad guys and such as you chase them all down.

Just play Jedi Academy, its exactly what you described

I love the Star Wars concept, so I even decided to remake Taurus Legio models using SW designs, a SW cartoonish/cel shaded spoof MOD. Since they have unique touches and modelled by me, only similar to SW, its not a big chance I get bothered by Lucasarts

Got to do that Eclipse Star Destroyer I found... Twice as long as a Super Star Destroyer

I allready have but I didn't realise how similar my idea was

I was also being vague in my discription tho. I have a totally different feel of the starwars universe that most of the games and especially the movies, episodes 1 &2. My Idea takes place in a much Darker setting, not so Disneyish. Not to mention my idea for saber combat is totally different then that of outkast and academy. Focused on a more realistic appraoch. Realistic in the sense of saber techniques, an attack, block, and counter style.

Problem is, you dont want it TOO dark and realistic. It wouldnt be Star Wars if it was realistic or dark. But yeah, a true saber combat system would be the sweetest thing ever... Need years to make a game worthy it though. They could have skipped the crap that is Jedi Academy and got right on it, we would gotten it a year earlier :flame:

Yeah I totally agree. But as with KOTOR they used Star Wars and the Jedi as a theme but because it is was so long before episode 1-6 there was a slightly different look, not that different but enough to tell. I was thinking of something that had an almost post appocaliptic feel. The Jedi are small numbers usually holding jobs to protect high officials still holding to the Jedi Code. But things have changed and the way of the Jedi is becoming more of an Idea than anything. Though as distant as they seem the force calls them together to rally together and put a stop to the dark force and give a re-birth to the Jedi once more.

The saber combat hmmm, yeah that would be hard but freakin cool.

Jedi Knight 3's good points

- Pretty much nothing...

A Star wars jedi mod on HL2's good points

- Better gfx
- Bigger maps
- "Real" Lightsaber, as in it would have mass, letting people have good fights (with blocking and evrything)
- Star wars cars (I dont know any name of them, but there cool)
- force powers MUCH easyer and better with the havok engine


Other stuff to that I cant think of.. would be cool to see a mod for it.
