zX tells us that DIVISION OF THE FORCE has everything there is to about Jedi Knight II multiplayer. JediKnightII.net's own Vagabond had the chance to talk with Pat Lipo, one of the game programmers at Raven Software. What do you think regarding the use of the Force in multiplayer?
The challenge we met when we embarked on the JK2 multiplayer design was pretty monumental. Not only did we have to build upon a respected classic, but we also had to try to please JK1 fans who wanted the same game, JK1 fans who wanted a different game, Star Wars fans who wanted it more like the movie, and shooter fans who wanted it more like their favorite game. In all, our goal is make JK2MP a game with depth, yet one that didn't confuse people to the point where they never picked it up.
I usually don't get a chance to read the jkii.net threads past a page or two, because they can get really, really long. However, I had already read many posts touching on the subject of dark and light, and knew there would be controversy on the Jedi Knotes I wrote. In reading the subsequent threads and your poll, I found that a lot of the people that argued for "side-less" force powers did so because they felt it was not logical and/or true to the mythos. I was concerned about these elements when we began this journey many months ago, and worked very closely with LucasArts to make sure that we maintained their vision. They supported us, feeling that a fun game was important over all.
