Wow, that's pretty late.

Just played some, not finding it very smooth or fluid. Every time you swing the light saber there is a slight pause. Also if you hit an enemy then it pauses slightly again! Why does it look like there is water all over the floor also! :s I don't think this game is for me but I am sure many people will like it. (Y)

I had no such pauses here. it was just awesome and fluid. though they appeared to have vsync off. they need to enable vsync in the final.

the only pausesI had was at th end with the ATST,but that's ebcause of the hangtime you get when you jump and do repeated saber attacks :)

Dut damn so much awesomeness in this game, from breaking windows and see stuff Woosh out, to choppign droids in two, fliinging stormtroppers abotu over their friends, seeing them hang on to ave the poor guy, and fling them both of into the abyss :devil: MUAHAHAHA.

the final attack on the ATST was also pretty damn great, even if I do dislike the presse A then X then A sequences. They're so annoying and ruin the flow.

Just finished the demo on the PS3. Really enjoyed it. Never really been into Star Wars games, but this one is more my sort of thing. Anyone know you trigger the button press sequence thing on the walker at the end though? I couldn't figure out how I did it, I just sorta did.

Did you play it on the 360 or PS3? I've played both and noticed it in both, but more on the 360 (I thought my 360 was on the blink again!)

I noticed this too (on PS3). If you keep button mashing the sabre whilst jumping he freezes in mid-air and swings it about. If you don't button mash so much it becomes more fluid. :p

just played the demo. the force controls take a little getting used to, but within a couple minutes it was great. at times I felt like there were way too many people firing me at one time, but thank god for auto-block. wish i learned more combos than the default ones. overall, i was very inpressed :D

I gotta say I enjoyed it. I was pretty pumped for this game, then the videos starting rolling in and I started to think it wouldn't be any good. Everytime I've seen a game being developed for PSP, PS2, PS3, 360, DS, Wii and everything else out there the game usually sucks. This demo was better than I thought it would be. It's a lot like Jedi Outcast, with a lot more power at your disposal.

Just played through and was wondering whats the point of having a lightsaber with all these kick ass powers.

I heard that it's possible to play the entire game using only force powers and never using your saber. Ugh, I can't play this for a few more days :(

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.
