Jade Empire - the NEW RPG from Bioware!

[Imran Siddiqui]

From the people who brought you KOTOR comes a brand new X-Box only RPG, Jade Empire (I'm surprised no thread has been created yet).

This game is set in ancient fantasy/magical China (which is a setting I haven't seen much in an RPG) and the combat is fairly unique. It still has Biowares pause-real time combat, but there are over 30 different martial arts fighting 'styles'. Each style has 8 different moves/magic, and you can switch these styles on the fly. Each style has its strengths and weaknesses and works better on some enemies compared to others. It'll be up to the player to decide which fighting style works best against which foe.

This game looks amazing, and is MY most anticipated X-Box game of this year .

Looks really nice. I'm pretty sure it will eat Fable alive. But Jade empire is not coming soon, not before december...

[DrSpike]

Wow, Ming looks really furious.

X-Box only

I agree. Start a new thread when the much-improved version is released onto PC.

X-box only?

You shouldn't be.

which goes to show why xbox is still losing money(if many PC owners are anti xbox) - i'm sure Microsoft was hoping they would be the main and first buyers of the console?

on top:

Bioware seem to have adapted amazingly well to this platform so it should be a decent game if you go on how KOTOR turned out.

I'll just download an emulator instead.

You could just... um... NOT POST ON THIS THREAD THEN?! Stupid tosser .

And I doubt that it will come out on PC. If it does, it'll probably be a year afterwards. This isn't like KOTOR where they plan to release it on the PC. This is an X-Box only title from the getgo. Not that I would be able to play a game like this on my PC anyway.

is there still a difference between console style RPG's and PC RPGs. There was a console RPG based on BG, dark alliance, i think - i never heard good things about it. OTOH everyone raves about KOTOR? Does KOTOR overcome the console issues? Does JE look like it will follow KOTOR rather than BG: Dark Alliance?
