Edward_Zeth Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 Does anybody else think that the original DF/JK/MOTS graphics engine should be used for JK2? It's been used for 3 games, why not make it 4? Comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[HEL]Diablos Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 Because it is old, outdated, and is no match for the Q3A engine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest digl Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 JK didnt use the DF engine I dont remember the name, but it was a different engine. Indy Infernal does use the JK engine, so Its right It has been used for (at least) 3 games, im not sure if more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward_Zeth Posted June 30, 2001 Author Share Posted June 30, 2001 No match for.... WTF, I ought to slap you You're ignorant. The DF/JK/MOTS engine is the greatest thing since sex! That engine ran the best game ever: JK! When you play JK, are you complaining? No, so shut up. I think Raven should have stuck to the JK1 engine, becaause it is a classic, and the JK feel shouldn't be lost. The Q3A engine is great, but the JK engine should be used again. Or how about if they make 2 versions, one with each engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsbuckeye21 Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 Some of it went into Grim Fandango and probably EMI too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward_Zeth Posted June 30, 2001 Author Share Posted June 30, 2001 yeah, my bad....Well, they look alike, but now that you mention it, didn't DF use the Build engine? That would explain different file formats and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edward_Zeth Posted June 30, 2001 Author Share Posted June 30, 2001 i think the JK1 engine would sell, brings back memories..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOneCanoli Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 You telling me that the JK engine will sell more than the Q3A:TA engine? Come on, be realistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward_Zeth Posted June 30, 2001 Author Share Posted June 30, 2001 it wont sell better, but a JK engine version or a JK mod that makes JK into JK2 but with the same JK engine would be great. They did 3 games with that engine, (well, 2, and DF's engine was almost the same but lower resolution, and suckier). JK2 in JK1 engine would be great. A JK1 engine version would be great for remimicing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaDMaN1587246505 Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 Three games yeah and they where and are good games. But they are using old and outdated engines that cant out perform even the kruddiest looking games produced in the year 2001. The Jedi Knight engine is atleast 4 years old rite? even with modifications and huge overhauls it cant begin to compare with the beutiful curves and wonderful structures of the Q3A engine or the UT engine. But i speak from little knowledge and little experiance working with these tools so please discount me if my assumptions are way off the mark.

Cheezer Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 I don't think they are off either But I don't think there are "curves" in the Q3A engine. Only lotsa polys. (I may be wrong there) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardz Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 I dont understand why you are so obsessed with the JK engine. Yeah, for a while it was good and now it is embarassing. Things move on. But you are right that it would sell....about 3 copies. wardz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ReAcToR Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 Didn't they use the 'Sith Engine' to create JK and MotS? The engine was and is a great engine, but why would they create a game using an outdated engine? That's bad business. No one in their right mind would want to have JK2 on the 'Sith Engine' when it could be using the likes of Q3. The 'Sith Engine' was nice while it lasted, but let's keep it where it belongs...in the past. I open up JED every day and am always working on 3-4 levels at a time, but even I am looking forward to working with an engine that is less limited.

Guest digl Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 Yeah I think it was called Sith other engine was called Phantom, not sure if the DF or the OW engine DF's engine was almost the same but lower resolution, and suckier Not at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward_Zeth Posted June 30, 2001 Author Share Posted June 30, 2001 JK2 is going to be sweet, but think about all the resources it will hog. The "Sith" engine was great, and if used properly (check out some screenshots on massassi.net) can look as good as a lot of new games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabrobot1587246497 Posted June 30, 2001 Share Posted June 30, 2001 Uh, the engine used in JK and MOTS, the "Sith Engine" or whatever will be like 5 years old when JK2 is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you play JK, are you complaining? No, so shut up. Just reading that makes me think you have no idea what it feels like to have sex . The engine may have been good for its time, but its an old dinosaur, its extinct. [ July 01, 2001: Message edited by: [HEL]Diablos ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
