Out of the Blue

I propose we stop fooling around and just admit that August is just one big gaming convention. Rather than several smaller demos, game companies could concentrate on making a big splash at a single venue. We could call it AugustCon or something, maybe… E3. Okay, maybe things are better this way.

Hey nin - - how much similar (in game play) is Force Unleashed to Jedi Academy?

Well...the problem is here you have no contol over the camera. So it attempts to stay behind you, but you also have to option of right clicking on the right stick to force it back there...and sometimes it seems to move to an odd angle almost beside you and then you end up running in a circle for a second to get your bearings/controls back to normal...(since Up on the L stick is to moving forward, relative to where you're pointing)

With JA, you could move the camera with the mouse, and look around, and from the 20 minutes I spent with FU (heh!) I didn't get that same sense of control.

I don't mean to dwell on just one issue, but that's the one that I constantly kept running into problems with.
