Impulse49 Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 The JEDI OUTCAST game is shaping up beautifully. I just upgraded my system to a Celeron 900 mhz with 128 MB of RAM, and I can't wait to play it. But it's also got me wondering, are there any other people out there besides me who'd like to play the DARK FORCES and JEDI KNIGHT levels in the JEDI OUTCAST engine? It'd be like a cool director's cut of the games. I mean, let's face it; once you play beautiful, smoothly rendered JEDI OUTCAST, walking down the memory lane of JEDI KNIGHT and managing to keep playing with that blocky sprite that's Kyle Katarn is going to be tough. Would there be any demand for this, or any hope of this happening? Maybe they'd redo all the cutscenes JEDI OUTCAST style too... - Ibrahim Ng impulse49@psi-fi.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolsen Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 This would be sweet. I'd pay good money for that addon/mod, whatever you want to call it... Heck, I still play JK single player fro time to time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainRAVE Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 I do occasionally ....but I wont when JK2 comes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Com Raven Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 Yeah, DF I and II with JKO technical aspects would kick ass .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolsen Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 You probably wouldn't even need to remake all the old weapons (although that would be cool ) Just the levels with the JO weapons would be great! Of course the Dark Troopers from DF would have to be recreated, as well as the 7 Dark Jedi from JK, but besides that you could use all the other baddies from JO.

Com Raven Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 Right, and building all the old levels shouldn't be a prob for skilled guy with such an powerful engine ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPMaximilian Posted January 26, 2002 Share Posted January 26, 2002 It wouldn't surprise me if LEC did something like that a little after JO is released. They updated the Graphics of X-Wing several times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd buy that JUST to blow up Dark Troopers with good graphics. Oooohhhh, now I wanna see that phase 3 rendered like we see stormies now. :cantwait: :cantwait: :cantwait: I REALLY hope those meteor things we keep seeing are Dark Troopers. Do you think I'm setting myself up to be disapointed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millions o' Monkeys Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 sorry guys, but this idea wouldnt be all that great...sure it might be cool to see but playing it wouldnt work well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zx2 Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 ya thatd be sweet havin remakes of old lvls, especially df levels can u imagine fighting a stage 1 dark trooper with jkII engine and a lightsaber??? also classic lvls from jk should be in there (i.e. BGJ) man i cant wait for Jk2 !!!!! and since we postin system specs for no reason: P4 1.6ghz 512mb RAM (that dun seem to be workin properly) Geforce2 MX/400 64mb DSL connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenG Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 i dont think lucasarts and or other would bother making a re-make but if a group of mod people wanted to make a JK/DF TC then by all means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broode Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 That would be sweet, although its not going to happen. I never played dark forces, But re-making the original 21 levels of JK would be a daunting task. Some of those levels are huge, imagine trying to recreate Level 9 Fueling Facility with the Q3 engine. I just don't think that it can handle maps that big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millions o' Monkeys Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 Originally posted by acdcfanbill can you give any particular reason for your hypothesis? well the fact that everyones already played through it so the only thing worth getting it for would be the eye candy, hey thats just my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tay-Mar Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 The only bits of JK that would be cool in JK2 stylee would be some of the MP Death Match levels, it would be like playin CS1.3 with the beta maps,(which I do). Classic levels with all the eye candy of the QIII engine......cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jipe Posted January 27, 2002 Share Posted January 27, 2002 I was planning on doing something like this, but not the whole of DF and JK - instead, it would be based off of the 3 book trilogy by William C. Dietz (enhanced storyline, it's truly awesome). "A Jedi Reborn" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 "Enhanced plot"? Yeah, right. I have those books, and while they're not bad, they don't stick with the story of Kyle Katarn. For instance, Kyle was supposed to have transferred to an Imperial special forces devision and taken part in several operations against the Rebels. In the books, he only participated in one training operation, not special forces, before going on to take leave and defect to the Rebellion. I guess I sound picky, here, but as long as I am, Kyle was a mercenary in the games, the "official" storyline. He wasn't and merc in the books. Sorry to sound like that.

[NS]_DackL Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 I would rather see someone spend the time and energy that it would take to recreate the old levels and create something entirely new. If you want people to make the equivelent of two games, they might as well be ones you havent already played a 1000 times. You know I'm right.
