Jedi Academy anyone? (1 Viewer)

I'll get it when I get the cash, which may or may not be this weekend. Hopefully it'll be more fun than the demo, Outcast was great.

I'll have this bad boy tomorrow..

I downloaded the demo via LucasArts.

I have a pretty good performance PC/video card/memory and the game runs fine until I get into lightsaber duels or walk by walls/boxes with the lightsaber. At this point the framerate goes to slow-mo and its just a mess.

GeForce4 Ti 4200 - 128MB

Wondering if anyone else has tried the demo and had the same problems. Didnt check to see if the demo was a beta or something but with the results I currently have I dont see myself buying this one.

Bought my copy today

There was an earlier thread where some performance issues were discussed, Colin.

As Romier suggested in that thread, turning off Dynamic Glow may help. From my experience, I believe there may be some kind of memory leak with the demo. On a fresh boot, after playing the game, it shows that I am using double my physical memory to play the game. Maybe that won't affect the full game.

I got it on Wednesday, but have only got around to playing the first 2 levels(excluding the intro). It feels more like an expansion, but I got it for the multiplayer, so I'm just practising

Waiting for the XBOX. A 15" monitor, squeaky office chair and 2 channel sound through pc speakers are no match for a 57" Widescreen, 5.1 DD and a comfy couch.

Looks like it's Nov. 21 for me.

Is it based on the novels? Obviously, they probably are. I must get this then.

Novels? What?

The Kevin Anderson novels? I don't think there is any relation beyond the setting. If I remember correctly, isn't Luke just starting to set up the academy in the books? If so, the game would take place a little afterwards. The academy is still small, but it is fairly established.

I am enjoying academy more then outcast, I am loving this game so far, I guess I am about 15 missions in, maybe more...

I loved the level where you got to fight Boba Fett

I'm enjoying it so far. Seems longer than outcast. I dislike the speeder level, though.

I learned an alternate saber style. Have I missed my chance to go dual sabers/saberstaff?

Yeah, it has that Ragnos guy. And Korriban. Probably some other things that I don't remember. It also ties together with some novels, and even comics. Star Wars likes to do that.

Just got this today--seems like a lot of fun so far, though I've only made it through training and the level where you get to fight side-by-side with Chewbacca.

Really enjoy the aspect of choosing your own path adventure- and Force power-wise. I dunno if I'd view this as an actual sequel since it feels like a really elaborate expansion pack...but what fun it is!

BTW, the level that I'm on right now--where you have to find spare parts on Tatooine--is a blast since it seems to be a direct homage to one very beloved cult film.
