Jade Empire PC Screens
Bioware's excellent Xbox RPG Jade Empire is coming to the PC. Here are some of the improvements over its Xbox sibling: Customizable, intuitive controls including support for game-pads and keyboard/mouse,Increased graphics resolutions and new visual effects, New monsters and enemies, New fighting styles, Improved combat AI and difficulty levels and a new world map interface.
Bioware itself is doing the conversion, so no third party *cough*NWN2*cough* hiccups here.
Jade Empire for the Xbox is one of the best RPG experiences i've ever had. Instead of the usual medieval high fantasy setting, Jade Empire puts you in a world inspired by East Asian architecture and mythology. Jade Empire for the Xbox rates around 90% at gamerankings.com, and i expect the PC conversion to be just as good.
