Guest Aristotle Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 In the spirit of the upcoming holidays... it's evident that YOU, the forum goers deserve a holiday gift. Your continued loyalty and enthusiasm for this site has done nothing but make it stronger by the month. As a result, we're happy to offer a holiday gift to our readers. What kind of gift do you ask? Here's the scoop... Think about what you as a community would like to see provided (within reason) from this site, for Jedi Knight II. For example, would you like us to run a contest with LEC, (trivia on the history of Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, etc) where LucasArts would provide one or two winners with signed copies of the game? Or would you like to put together 10-15 very well thought out questions to present to LucasArts and Raven where you, the readers would put forth your own interview, which we would publish. Would you like to see a few exclusive new screenshots? Perhaps from a particular angle, or displaying a particular move or force, weapon, etc? Obviously these are just a few suggestions.... and no, don't ask for ALL of them.. you know what Santa does with greedy children. Once a majority of you come up with what you would like to ask for your holiday gift, and once it's presented to us, we'll work with LEC to try to make it happen. Odds are very good that if it's reasonable and possible, you can look forward to it. We're going to try to put something similar together for GalacticBattles.Com as well... so keep an eye out over there as well for details. Discuss this among yourselves.. and please try to use this opportunity wisely... Hope everyone has a happy Turkey Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philbo Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Once again, you know what I do with greedy children. ("Anybody hungry for some Forum-Goer-Chunkies?") Personally, I don't know what I want to see. I don't care about previews or screenshots or new news or anything. It just adds to my expectations, and could ruin the game for me later on. What I want is a real "Screen of the Week". I know I've mentioned this to the Jedi Council once, but for some reason, it still only gets changed once in a blue moon. And maybe we could get a models page and the LucasArts' concept art somewhere in here too, maybe in the screenshots section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJR PAIN UK Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Would asking for a demo to be released before christmas be to much!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vagabond Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Well, this is kind of outlandish, but it would be really cool: have a random drawing of forum members, and the lucky winner gets to appear as an easter egg in one of the Jedi Outcast levels. That would be pretty cool, wouldn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agen Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Yeh nice one VagaBond but AGGHHHHHH i can't choose... But to be kind to us all i'd woudl choose osmething that everyone would enjoy! what'd u guys think... the top one is abit much as only 1 or 2 people get the game and it'd be said for others..... LEt's think carefully!! CAREFULLY!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarcastic Saint Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Or draw 5 to 10 randomly and sent them a free copy of JK2. Anyways new screenshots are always welcome....but seems somewhat lacking....i wouldnt call that a present. How about a new vid-clip?? that would be nice. Perhaps showing how "this and that" gets designed....for example a piece of a map we havent seen yet and then show how its being build from the ground up and perhaps show how you add enemies....which is a good way of giving a little sneak preview for some of the models being used...etc etc. (doesnt have to minute by minute nor does it have to become a huge vid, but you get my drift right) Well just some thoughts.

StormHammer Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Hmmm...some really good ideas there, and I'm really torn between them. So I'll come up with another one to throw into the mix... How about releasing a prequel story to Jedi Outcast, detailing what happens to Kyle inbetween MotS and JO? The story could be released in chapters all the way up to the point the game is released, so you'll have a nice little novel on Kyle's exploits? That would give every gamer a good solid background to the events preceding the game. Just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenG Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 i would like to see a nice BIG hi-res in-game movie. showing off the saber moves and showing force powers. i know there are some movie from E3 but i want one from LEC. Remember: nice and BIG! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilhuf Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 I would like to see Galactic Plumberman appear in Jedi Outcast as an 'easter egg.' Or some other JK2.net-related easter egg. An easter egg would be a great present because it would become a permanent part of Jedi Knight history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agen Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Hows about u put all our names on the credits But i guess lec wouldn't be too happy. So what about u give out a high res vid.. yeh u know what i mean.. And i used to be a lurker at OWK.net and Galactic Plumberman would be a great Easter Egg!

Guest Aristotle Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Full "in-game" high res vid of JKII in action is already a done deal... so don't waste your request on that one... ***that's all I'll say on that front*** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardz Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 I wouldn't be fussed either way. The signed copy sounds good but that wouldn't be much of a team effort. Forget questions, they will be answered in the videos. A picture tells a thousand words mmmm. For once I can't think of anything to say. wardz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nykel007 Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 I'm thinking, real hard. Some pics would be nice a new vid would be even nicer. Something to keep our eyes busy until the snow melts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Vagabond Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Good one, Wilhuf - Galactic Plumberman as an easter egg. If it can't be one of us, then no other is more deserving than he, may his immortal soul rest in peace. Never have so many owed so much to so few...

Obi Kwan Posted November 21, 2001 Share Posted November 21, 2001 Here's what I think; I think the JKII.net administrators should get some nice tees printed up with the jedi knightii.net insignia on em. It would have to contain original art and such, but it would be a cool thing for the forum members to be able to purchase. Then you could draw names and give a few of em away for free.

StormHammer Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 Yes, very good, Wilhuf. How could I have forgotten Galactic Plumberman? *hangs head in shame* It would be nice to see him somewhere in the game...and maybe unlock the ability to play the game with a Lightplunger!

Agen Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 I was thinking when i was doing a crap.....We could have a vid and show us ound raven studios or jsut jk2 department. And see what they're doing.. or we could make could a vote, Next jk2.net vote... eh? Just ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardz Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 play the game with a Lightplunger! and use Force Unblock Lavatory. slaps stormhammer How could you forget, it says you are from the galactic plumberman alliance. tsk tsk ; ) wardz [ November 21, 2001: Message edited by: wardz ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsbuckeye21 Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 I don't think I'd want this as our only option, but consider this... We could have a JK tourney (controlled by the veteran of this, Wilhuf) and the top 5 players (or however many) would rightly win the chance to play against Raven once the game has been released. Then if a forum goer would win, he/she would get a free copy of JK2... uh wait, they would have already had that. Uh, something special, if playing the developers isn't enough. (PS - Is demo recording [call it whatcha like] confirmed for JK2 yet?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Simpson Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 Hmm, tough decision. Personally I think a gameplay video would be great, so we get to see a little of the flow of the game. I like the easter egg idea too, a little Galactic Plumberman can never go wrong. Or even a forum member. It would be nice to see him somewhere in the game...and maybe unlock the ability to play the game with a Lightplunger! Hey, when Canoli and the guys over at the TFN Games Forum can get a Force Boat into Galactic Battlegrounds, I think we should get our Plumberman in JKII.

StormHammer Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 wardz...LOL Thanks, I have now regained my senses, and dutifully Force Unblocked my Lavatory in homage to my mentor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeathBoLT Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 bsbuckeye We could have a JK tourney (controlled by the veteran of this, Wilhuf) and the top 5 players (or however many) would rightly win the chance to play against Raven once the game has been released I definately would NOT want to try to get into a JK tourney.. JK is truly hack ridden these days.. hacks are made faster than the ahp(anti-hack patches) can be developed to counter them. and the hacks im talking about are barely detectable. between that and the whining about rules(which have grown to become pretty thick) it'd really be no fun and not be worth even a free copy of JK2. since a hi-fi video is on the way im not sure what to ask for.. maybe there could be questions to ask(that aren't covered by the video), covering the balancing of the force so that there are counters to potentially devastating powers(i.e.lighting and grip) in mp, multiplayer hosting(zone or dedicated servers), etc..

wardz Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 Deathbolt, You are far too untrusting my friend. We are not like that here. If we were to stage an event it would be a closed tournament, open only to us JKii.netters. This isn't some free for all! wardz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt-- Posted November 22, 2001 Share Posted November 22, 2001 http://www.cafepress.com You upload pictures and create a "store" with t-shirts that you can buy. It's FREE.
