General Zot Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Right on their homepage, called Jade Empire. http://www.bioware.com/ I'm assuming this is in addition to the inevitable KOTOR 2 game that must be planned. If Microsoft hopes to have a SquareSoft type RPG system seller, Bioware may be the ticket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnE Posted September 11, 2003 Report Share Posted September 11, 2003 Since the press release dosen't give much info I'll cut & paste this from a post at Evil Avatars, "The game has a lot in common with Fable. The protagonist (male or female) is a martial-arts student and he (or she) try to impress his master and the other person in his village. He has to made a long journey in the land of Jade Empire (a mixture of China, Maya and Atzech architecture). During the journey he?ll increase his ability and he?ll build his reputation (like in Fable). If we?ll choose the good way, the martial arts school will be even more famous and a lot of new student will come to us. If we?ll choose the evil way we will exile and we?ll enter in the evil army. During the journey we?ll learn new skills (Shenmue?) and we can choose which of them increase. The abilities could be hand to hand combat skill, with melee weapon (sword, knives etc. and also environment things like bottles and chairs), magic etc." Sounds pretty cool to me. I have a ton of faith in Bioware. I'm very glad to to have another rpg to look forward to on my Xbox down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry the Clown Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Sounds, and indeed looks outstanding. I loved the premise when I read about it yesterday, and and those screenshots are just marvelous. Now, I really should get round to playing Knights of the Old Republic.

iainl Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Mmm, looks shiny. Don't forget that KOTOR came out this morning in the UK, Dan! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Zot Posted September 12, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 Nice screens! Definitely more excited now that I can see what it looks like. Now if Bioware could just get the rights to make Fallout 3 for Xbox, all would be right in the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTello Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 I'm excited, between KOTOR and this Jade Empire the Xbox must be turning the heads of the most stubborn Xbox converts. When is this title slated for release? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike-D Posted September 13, 2003 Report Share Posted September 13, 2003 Wow. The screenshots look very interisting/different indeed. Color me excited. Michael (who still didn't finish KOTOR :roll: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foogledricks Posted March 25, 2004 Report Share Posted March 25, 2004 I'm sold on this game. It sounds much better than KOTOR, and I really liked KOTOR. This and fable should be standout games for Xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Camp Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Mortal Kombat meets Knights of the old Republic. I'd say that's the first (and most overdue) innovation in RPG gameplay since the introduction of graphics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exile Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Looks pretty sweet. I think Bioware does top notch stuff and hardly can go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted September 25, 2004 Report Share Posted September 25, 2004 New interview with several members of the Jade Empire team. Some good information on the making of the game and 4 new screenies to boot! http://xbox.ign.com/articles/551/551092p1.html My anticipation for this is building more and more as new info is released. The top down shooter mini-game was enough to get me drooling. Possible Orta level of anticipation for this one. Seriously. I want it, I want it bad!

exile Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 My friend and I were talking and he mentions this and I kinda liked Kotor but didn't get to finish it or play that much. He couldn't gut it out and thinks this will be a quality game from Bioware. When is the release date for it and is there any early buzz?

Romier S Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 Merged your topic with the current thread on Jade Empire exile. As far as your question...YES! JE is one of my most anticipated games right now. Bioware RPG goodness plus a kick ass shooter mini-game and well, I'm on it like white on rice. :tu: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camp Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 When is the release date for it and is there any early buzz? I think the buzz was building pretty steadily when the release date was Christmas 2004. Now that the game has been pushed back to spring 2005 the buzz has dissapated a bit. I expect great things from Jade Empire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romier S Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Ebgames has a listing for the new Jade Empire limited edition. The LE will include a new character and combat style and it is apparently the same price: Jade Empire Limited Edition Here is the games box art also: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeyN Posted January 19, 2005 Report Share Posted January 19, 2005 Probably will turn out like Mech Assault. They say limited edition, yet its the only version out capt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris F Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Consider me sold. Collectors Editions for the same price, or a few bucks more are always good for me. Jade Empire is looking good, and is moving up my list of must have games this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
