Prime Posted June 26, 2004 Posted June 26, 2004 Originally posted by Kurgan I mean, which would you rather play, in all honestly, a game where you're a moisture farmer or Imperial janitor who never sees any battles or crazy things happen or one of the heroes from the movies having amazing adventures and interacting with other famous characters, doing some of the things we saw happen in the films?* [/i] Judging from Galaxies, I fear to see how many people would choose exactly that.
Ixion_DLF Posted June 27, 2004 Posted June 27, 2004 I'd like to see a mixture between KOTOR and JK. - The possibility to give your Character Attributes, like in RPG games. - the attributes you have chosen determine what force powers you can use. - a side program to create your own fighting stance, I already have a concept for such a program, but can't do programming - and what I guess what most people wanna see is, either two ways to play the campaign sith or jedi, other sequences and different missions or two different campaigns.
JDKnite188 Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 What could possibly be the future of the JK series? Other hard core Stbbvar Wars FPS's are coming out for the gunner crowd; take a look at Republic Commando and Battlefront. KOTOR and its sequel have expanded on the route of the Jedi and Sith. Is there a need for a game that combines the gunner and saberist?
Mono_Giganto Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 The way I see it, it has no future, with games like those coming out. Unless it uses a new engine, the jk series is done.
Ace-_Ventura Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 i would like another jk game since in the other games mentioned you can't use lightsaber like you use on jk series.
Mono_Giganto Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 KOTOR and its sequel have expanded on the route of the Jedi and Sith KOTOR has a MUCH better saber system, even if it is sort of atuomatic, it's MUCH better.
Tinny Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 my hope is that as jo was to obi-wan game, jk4 is to the new episode 3 game slated for next year
LightNinja Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 Originally posted by Mono_Giganto KOTOR has a MUCH better saber system, even if it is sort of atuomatic, it's MUCH better. Dude not everybody thinks like you
Master William Posted July 27, 2004 Posted July 27, 2004 Well, if they're to launch another JK game, they better use a new engine. JA is good but without mods I would have left it after a few months and gone back to JO. Clans as well, that keeps the game alive (if it's Multiplayer). I also hope they make up a good story, KOTOR's was excellent. It's so annoying with all the stupid Force boys running around thinking they're so good when you beat them all and Tavion.
Rumor Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 Originally posted by Mono_Giganto KOTOR has a MUCH better saber system, even if it is sort of atuomatic, it's MUCH better. What kind of crack are you on? kotor's saber system isn't even a saber system. all it is, is an animation with random damage multipliers and algorithms applied to it. its no different than any of the other attacks besides how it looks. and with all that, its only just a tad bit more random than baseja.
Prime Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 Originally posted by Mono_Giganto KOTOR has a MUCH better saber system, even if it is sort of atuomatic, it's MUCH better. Better how? It certainly looks better for the most part, but that system would hardly be a good one in a FPS. It doesn't even have collision detection, for crying out loud. And Rumor is right, it isn't really a saber system per se. It is a combat system. The only difference between sabers and guns are the animations and what modifiers get applied. That being said, the KOTOR system seems to serve KOTOR better than the JA system does for JA... At least with KOTOR it is supposed to be random.
Mono_Giganto Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 That being said, the KOTOR system seems to serve KOTOR better than the JA system does for JA... Ya, that's kinda what I meant, I wasn't saying that JA needed KOTOR's system, just that it worked better for its game. At least with KOTOR it is supposed to be random. Very true. And it also has limits to the damage. In JA there's always the random one hit kill.
Amidala from Chop Shop Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 If all future Jedi Knight games are doomed to degenerate the way JKII:JO and JK:JA have (a few hundred total players (compared to the thousands playing other games) flying around with jetpacks and spawning Rancors, amateur actors emoting and whining about "laming" while killtrackers spam "haha you are the 22 soul I have taken, I have stolen your soul 3 times"), then I hope LucasArts either makes the next one single-player only or never releases the source code to prevent the silliness and stupidity that killed JK2 and JA multiplayer. Hopefully Battlefront and Republic Commando will be the future direction of Star Wars multiplayer games.
Prime Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 Originally posted by Amidala from Chop Shop I hope LucasArts either makes the next one single-player only That would be just fine with me.
Iain007 Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 If it is Single Player the Story will be more complex. Oh, we're talking about LucasArts Jedi Knight Games? I thought we were talking about something else. LucasArts cannot make a decent SP story (the closest was JK2)

I thought we were talking about something else. LucasArts cannot make a decent SP story (the closest was JK2) Jedi Knight seemed at least as good as Outcast to me...
Mex Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 I say make the next Jedi Knight unmoddable. No more crappy admin mods.
Mono_Giganto Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 Personally, I hope we can still make new hilts and maps in the next game, but apart from that, yes, remove possibilities of the admin mods.

Modelling, skinning, and mapping don't need the source code, so all of those could continue even if the MP source code was never released.
Prime Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 We can dream. Although, there have been some cool MP source code mods put out, and it is too bad that they get overshadowed...
Ace-_Ventura Posted July 31, 2004 Posted July 31, 2004 everyone "must" pay for the mistakes of some people
Toa Tahu Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 Have LucasArts and Raven just decided to quiet down after the relative flop of Jedi Academy? Come on,just because it didn't turn out that well it doesn't mean that another sequel shouldn't come out...this time if they should do another one Raven should come out with a more concerted and more spirited effort that should hold the fans in for more than enough time until the next one comes out. What do you guys think?
Amidala from Chop Shop Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 LucasArts isn't exactly quiet with Battlefront, Republic Commando, KOTOR II, SWG:Jump to Lightspeed, and the Episode III game in the works. And Raven is working on Quake 4.
razorace Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 A game that was on the best seller's list for multiple weeks is not considered a "flop".
Nalukai Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 Just a thought but if it is suck a flop why bother posting in a JA forum?
