Jade Empire - Exar's preview of the week 1
« on: December 10, 2003, 11:05:43 PM »
Hello there everyone.Exar Kun here.I've decided that from now on I'll be doing a preview a week here for the benefit of our members.I'll give a short introduction as well as sites where you can find info on the game.As usual,if interesting links come to me I'll post them.I've been a member of the GameFAQs message boards for 3 and 1/2 years and I find a lot of nice links there.Note that basic information for the games will be related here so if knowing even the smallest detail pisses you off then you are excused.
So here goes.

Today I'm going to take you all back in history to ancient China.Jade Empire is the newest game to be coming from celebrated developer BioWare,creators of the famous Baldur's Gate series and more recently the acclaimed Star wars game,Knight of the Old Republic.
Jade Empire was created to play very much the way KOTOR plays now and has been a brainchild of BioWare for nearly 10 years.
In the game you will play as a character of your design who is seeking to avenge the murder of his father.

Throughout the game you will travel through many locations and ideas from ancient Chinese mythology.
The game will feature the same good/evil system as in KOTOR though supposedly you will now have more branches and choices.The game's fighting will be entirely realtime this time around with your character being able to use over 30 different styles of fighting.From weapon styles,to defensive to offensive martial arts,even to improvised weapons like a stool.Additionally you will be given the chance to recruit for yourself a party of characters who will stay at your base a la Suikoden.These characters can be used to carry out tasks in th land or you can do it yourself.The character type you send can mean the difference between a diplomatic resolution a la a Chinese Wu Yong or a bloody end a la a Chinese Li Kui.
Check it out:

The graphics in the game easily outstrip KOTOR.

As with KOTOR, this game seems to be one of the games to watch. but the fact that is is x-box only would turn off a lot of people. If the publishers who support x-box continue to dole out so many titles that look so good, I am going to have to get an x-box as well.                    
Here I am, swinging the chain, swinging the chain, swinging the chain.
