If your 3D card isn't on the above list, there's still a good chance the game will play on your system so long as your card's specs are similar to one of the above, and meets these requirements (Graphics Card:16 MB OpenGL compatible PCI or AGP 3D Hardware Accelerator required).


If your PC can handle Elite Force, Return to Castle Wolfenstein or QuakeIIIArena, it will almost certainly be able to handle Jedi Outcast.

 

Now THIS is a guy who knows how to run a forum.

 

Internet Play: Supports up to 16+

Up to 16+, huh? My head hurts.

 

From the people who brought you All Your Base comes...

 

Their words, not mine!

 

I'm curious, does anyone know what you'll need to do to play it online? Will it be through Microsoft or a closed-Lucasarts service?

 

will my amdk6-2 533 with 11mb direct 3d handle it?
(Mind you this could be a fab excuse to upgrade!)

 

The system requirements are above, Graal.

Retah, presumably the multiplayer procedure will be the same as Quake III and the other games that use its engine.

 

Cigam Retah, I believe there will be several ways to hook up MP games. LAN, dedicated servers / places like The Zone, and good old TCP/IP for smaller games.

Local Area Network Play: Supports up to 32 players via Local Area Network.
Internet Play: Supports up to 16+ players via 56Kbps or faster connection to the Internet.
Dedicated Server: DSL/Cable Modem required for Internet hosting.

Darth_Graal, what's the newest game you've got working on your system? Ever played the Elite Force demo? I can get the Elite Force demo working on my 4MB ATI Rage Pro card. It's not pretty, but it's playable.

 

Cigam, the MSN Zone crap will be available to use, but you can also use JKII's in-game server browser. And I'd be willing to bet that programs like GameSpy and the All Seeing Eye will add JKII to their service.

 

Doesn't matter, no-one's going to be playing this game for more than a month. It'll be teh suck.

 

Can my computer handle JO?

CPU: Intel 486/66 DX2
RAM: 8 megs
HARD DRIVE: 314 meg Maxtor HD

SOUND CARD: Sound Blaster 16
FLOPPY DRIVE: 1.44 MB
GRAPHICS CARD: Embedded Cirrus Logic
MONITOR: Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 14 Plus

 

Hahahahahahahahahahaha!

 

Despite my comrade's chuckle, your system could most decidedly not handle the graphic intensities that Jedi Outcast require.

And if it is a joke, that's hilarious.

 

"Judge me by my RAM do you?"

 

I just wondered cos the 3d accelerator on my system will not work with force commander, however I tried quake 3 last night and it runs lovely so woo hoo jedi outcast for me! is available on preorder in NZ for NZ$99.95!

 

I've seen the collectors tin for that price at www.gamezone.co.nz. Seen a confirmed release date for NZ?

 

Dick smiths reckons sometime between 28/03 04/02 and price is for collectors tin with T-shirt, thank god I paid my amex last month!!

 

Here's my technical problem - I need the game.

 

when does it come out?

 

In stores March 28th.

 

I have a Voodoo3 3000 16MB AGP card. I can run Q3 but Q3:TA crashs a lot (I had take it back). Anyone think there might be a problem running JO?

If not, I'll start a petition to have LucasArts use their DF engine for the next game, since that's the only came I can play at 1600 with no hitch (except on multiplayer).

 

Yeah. If you can start saving for a new card, I would do that. Ususally a stay away from putting hardware in my computer from a dead company.

 

I actually read on the JKII.net boards that one guy can't run it at all with a Voodoo5. I'm not sure if that's a unique situation, bad drivers, or just because it was probably warezed. But definitely stay away from 3dfx.

 

I have a Voodoo 3000 AGP. Outcast runs fine on my machine.
