CaptainRAVE Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 I think the Unreal II engine would be nice, especially because its better than the Unreal Tournament 2 engine. Maybe even the Quake 4 engine may be a worthy contender when its finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genetic Misfire Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Considering we've never actually gotten to play with these engines, how can we answer this poll. My guess from the engines listed would be the Doom3 engine. What about the newer versions of the Lithtech engine. Lest we forget AvP2 and NOLF.

Darth Simpson Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Doesn't UT2 and U2 use the same engine RAVE? The Unreal engine that is. And Quake 4 uses DOOM III technology right? I didn't vote, because I think all of the above engines are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TUS_Tomcat Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 I voted other. And i mean the one which will be the hyped new upcoming engine when JK III is about to come out (so JK III wont be coming out with that engine but thats what i WANT it to come out with) If this is confusing i dont blame ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBK Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Originally posted by Genetic Misfire What about the newer versions of the Lithtech engine. Lest we forget AvP2 and NOLF. James OMG, NO LITHTECH! I can't speak for NOLF, but AVP2 MP is the absolute crappiest online experience I've ever had. Yes they released a new one, but they have no credibility in my book. Ping fluctuations of 100- 4000???? up to 75% packetloss? I have a cable modem and play on dedicated servers. You can't really expect a good game unless you connect to a T1 hosted server, and then pray. THE WORST netcode ever. To steal a line from momma Gump, "playing AVP2 online is like a box of chocolates..." And do they listen to customer complaints about it? No. The patches since it's release don't address the problem and they haven't made any kind of statement stating they are working on it. They would rather add an exosuit for marines and a queen for the aliens than address the MP gameplay issue. Don't mean to get excited and rant, but AVP2 is a fun game (alittle short in SP), I like it alot. It's just the bad MP code and apparent lack of support is frustrating. Peace, HBK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichyBoy Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 Don't forget that the Lithtech Engine is hardly the greatest looker either. I can hardly see Raven, Lucasarts, or whoever would devlop a hypothetical JK3 choosing an engine so that the next game in a series looks worse than the previous one. To be honest, I really don't know why any developers bother with the Lithtech engine. The gameplay in AvP2 was OK, but the graphics sucked big time. Those character and NPC models were horrendous (and weren't exactly helped by some of the worst voice acting ever - anyone notice that pilot woman in the Marine episodes with the dreadful english accent? They said in PC Zone that she made Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins look talented or something). I think the game would have been so much better using the Quake 3 engine. Can you imagine how cool it would have been to have huge alien infested cavern levels stuffed with curves? I know we haven't seen much of the latest build in NOLF2 yet either, but from what I have seen I'm not impressed, especially with Unreal 2 due out in a few months.

The reason I put UT2 instead of U2 (the game of course) is because one....UT2 is scheduled for a release at the end of June and U2 is scheduled for a Christmas release, not to mention both engines are virtually identical so U2 is really using the Unreal Tournament II engine.

If there is to be another Jedi Knight game and if Lucasarts lets Raven do it again (which I think they will assuming there will be a JKIII)? Raven has more experience than anyone with Quake engines and since they are doing Quake IV, and Quake IV is using the DOOM III engine (which of course Raven will modify like they usually do...for the better of course) then Jedi Knight III will probably be using a modified version of the DOOM III engine.

StormHammer Posted March 17, 2002 Share Posted March 17, 2002 I'd go with the Unreal engine. I think I read somewhere that the DOOM III engine might not be able to cope well with large outdoor areas due to the new lighting techniques it uses. The Unreal engine is still one of the best looking, plus it's modular so they can update it as they please, it supports massive outdoor levels, can definitely handle huge vertical drops, and I expect it to have a lot of the DOOM III functionality by the time that game is released. sorry Raven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well AOTC is a movie, but we're talking about game engines here....the core of a game. Sure Episode II was made with computers quite heavily but they usually use Silicon Graphics for something like that and I'm sure all movies even ones with no 'CGI' in them are edited on computers. Game engines are quite another thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acdcfanbill Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 well, lets think a sec, it took 5 years between JK and JKii, i doubt that the doom iii engine will have that extensive of use in 5 years... if JKiii does come about, it will most likely utilitize the doom IV or Quake V engine.... a reasonable assumption, no?

Jedimaster74 Posted March 19, 2002 Share Posted March 19, 2002 I would say that the Doom3 or Quake 4 Engine if they are both ready will be contenders for engines in JediknightIII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
