Jedi Outcast: Jedi Knight II: Dark Forces III

[Warren]

Yes, a long name, and a KICKASS game! I got it today (I know, it's not released yet, so don't ask how I got it, because I won't and can't tell you). It is sooo amazing. I've played through Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II at least 20 times, it's one of my favorite games of all times, and Jedi Knight II may even be better! I've been playing it all day, it uses the Q3 engines, so I can actually run it on my crap Compaq. I love it so much, the multiplayer is soo awesome! Lightsaber duels that are so awesome, you can change the position of the saber to 3 settings and swing in a trillion different ways, soo good!! And the lightsaber makes gashes in the walls too! The game is too amazing, get it. Release date is 3/29.

It's so much fun killing those silly Stormtroopers, they die in such silly ways! They spin around, plot on the ground, do backflips, or jump off cliffs! Anyway, I gotta go play it now!!

I have my ways .

I just played for a few more hours, it's so good. I've been playing for 6 hours today, and am still only part way into the first level, it's so rediculously hard. 3 shots from a stormtrooper will kill you. It's takes 3 shots (depends on where you hit them), and their AI is quite good. When you die, it does it in slow motion. I just died from a floating ball robot thing shooting yellow lasers at me, and I watched myself in slow motion falling to the ground, with more laser flying through me, and watched my body convulse and spaz for a few seconds on the ground in the fetal position, so funny! The game is a little unstable with my Voodoo card though. The maps are very complex and creative, well made. Get the game when it comes out, it's a masterpiece, unless it's too short. Jedi Knight was really really long, and I know the whole game like Paul knows library girl.

Hey, Dark Forces I is pretty old (2/28/95), could that be ported to PPC?

[Courtney White]

It was based on Q3 engine right? maybe, (x-scale)

With all the older games, its not a matter of IF you could port it, its Would you be allowed to port it.
