Just wanted to show you what Jedi Outcast looked like on the following system configuration (Don't worry, this isn't mine, but the Games Forum Moderator's machine):

Pentium II 300 MHz
ATI Rage Pro 4 MB

http://www.hansen.net.nz/images/shot0004.jpg

Nothing beats the clouds in shot0004.jpg Is the Rage Pro's OpenGL ICD that bad? I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Then he did some tweaking thanks to a guide out there <http://www.3dspotlight.com/tweaks/jedioutcast/index.shtml>:

It's still like a 4-bit color version of Jedi Outcast. Pretty funny.

That's what happens when you use an unsupported card that "barely" supports OpenGL. Erg... That doesn't look good at all. I'm impressed it works at all.

Three cheers for my favorite tweaking guide!

Yeah, on the lowest detail settings you get Jedi Knight 1! It's like two, two, two games in one!

... and with the matching framerate of 2 fps on systems like that, no wonder it's the number one game!

Exactly why we don't support such low spec systems

Hehe. Glad I decided to wait for this PC was built before playing JO.

I'd like to see their comments to SOF 2 on Mr. H's machine.

Look at the state of those screenies!

jp's going to cry, you realize this, right?

Yup.

His wife is going the beat the living crap out of you, PB.

Hahahahaha!

//Struts in wearing gardening tools holstered around waist, whip in one hand, cute little baby in the other.

Don't you dispect m'man! Don't you act like you know me! You be talking like you know me, mang!

//beats up Bibby and PB.

Dude, Raven dissed on your machine, jp.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Sucks to be JP.

Indeed. Pushing 40, looking after the Games forum. Kids not allowing you to have a system that is l33t. What a terrible life.

Pensions just don't give the elderly enough flexibility these days. About all Jp can do is buy some bread to feed the ducks.

lol, barns.

I don't think upgrading his computer would help any, he'd need one of those monitor magnifiers just to make out the characters.

Poor Grampa.

Hee hee hee, this thread is funny.

Unfortunetly, you are not.

*sigh* I wasn't trying to be. Let's just ignore each other, mmkay?

Sob.

You don't miss what you never had. Upgrade is imminent (well next 4 to 6 months).

On the upside;

1. The lack of playability gives me more time for my JO skinning projects.

2. I'm seeing AOTC in 2 days. Hah! Now you can all cry.

lucky b4st4rd!!!

How come you get to see it so early?

THAT'S WHAT IS WAS!?! YOU *******!!!

jp, did you get invited to the press screenings? Lucky dog!

Because, barns I'm old. Dunno if these bones will last another 2 weeks.

I had a choice between seeing AOTC early or flying to disneyland.

I'd like to see these wonderful skins. If he can't even use ModView with his crap system, how can he make sure the skins are perfect?

No, I am not volunteering to help you, Mr. Jerk Seeing Episode II Early, But Still Has a Computer That My Dog Wouldn't Even Use.
