Sorry if everyone has seen this already, I am abit late on the draw but...

Wow.  I have not been following the game, knowing it would be pretty damn good, but not wanting to have the Bioware fanboi wait.  Anyway, I didn't even know that it was an action rpg.  So this video just fucking blew me away.  Christ that looks fun.  All the goodness of KOTOR with twitch (while still pauseable).  I want.

If the story is any decent, this game will fucking own.  That combat looks goddamn amazing.  More involved than what KOTOR offered.

Really looking foward to this title.  Plus now, I have an xbox. YAY.

[Alluvian]

Story by the same crew that has done every other bioware title that kicked ass.  So I am pretty sure it won't suck.

[Rasix]

Yep, I got worried a sec when they said they'd be focusing more on the combat aspect. But really, all the Baldur's Gates (especially 2 + TOB) and KotoR had solid stories while having great combat.  

This is one of the few can't miss titles out there at the moment.  It'd take the shutdown of Bioware to make this game suck.

Don't say shit like that.  Next thing you know EA will buy them.

"Make good games or you will be sold to EA."

They(EA) are the boogieman and the albatross of modern gaming.

Bioware's doing well.  And this game will rock. I will bet people money on this. I think KotoR has show us they won't pull a DE2 and leave their fans to rot wondering what happened to the game they love.

They've got a good system for putting out great RPGs, and they just seem to be getting better at it.

Hopefully it'll get ported to PC shortly after, like KoToR, otherwise I'll never see it.  It admittedly looks pretty cool.

EDIT: Found this.  I am sad.

When is the PC version coming out?

There are no plans for a PC version. Unlike Knights of the Old Republic which was designed from the ground up to be on both the PC and the Xbox, Jade Empire is being designed only for the Xbox and has no considerations for the PC. It will be an exclusive Xbox-only title.

Too bad DX2 sold great and Jade Empire is an xbox only title and will comparitively sell like shit.  Even if every xbox owner buys one, which they better or I am knocking on their door with a bat.

[Kylaer]

Eh? DX2 sold far more copies on XBox than on PC.

[Alluvian]

You're right.  I was thinking for abit that DX2 was a four system release like MaxPayne2, but it was just Xbox and PC.

Ah crap, after seeing that movie I'm really looking forward to Jade Empire. With Fable comming along aswell the Xbox is finally getting the rpg's it so desperatly needs.
