QuietSith Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 Why do I say that? Do you notice the fog in SOF 2 RMG? Well, look at this, Raven themselves run a poll to see what you people want: http://forums.ravensoft.com/ib/ikonboard.pl?s=3d0bee3c0610ffff&act=ST&f=2&t=853 Imagine if JK2 were ran the same way.
SAiNTx Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 I feel quiet, you will start a Coup E'tat in the United states.... RUSSIAN SPY! Seriously, on topic. Yeah I agree, Raven should get more control.
arctic_series Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 er don't see how raven can be in charge more than they are right now.
QuietSith Posted June 16, 2002 Author Posted June 16, 2002 Raven has to get permission from LucasArts in order to get a new patch out. LucasArts owns the game. Activision owns Raven (I'll bet you didn't know that). "In 1997, Raven Software joined forces with Activision Incorporated (Nasdaq: ATVI) in an exclusive publishing deal that would merge Activision's proven publishing and distribution resources with Raven SoftwareÕs talented development team." http://www.ravensoft.com/company.html Raven owns SOF 2. The only way Raven can do more for JK 2 is if LucasArts let them.
arctic_series Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 activision owns raven ? er isn't activision just some distributor, and raven is a developer company ?
QuietSith Posted June 16, 2002 Author Posted June 16, 2002 Read above ... I edited the post ... and provided proof.
QuietSith Posted June 16, 2002 Author Posted June 16, 2002 LucasArts owns the rights to JK 2. That's why people need to stop bashing Raven and tell LucasArts to let Raven fix the game.
QuietSith Posted June 16, 2002 Author Posted June 16, 2002 "Interview with Michael Chang Gummelt": "What, if anything, would you like to say about the negative reaction by a part of the community to the latest patch? I’d have to say some people have some valid points about a couple things that can be exploited and I’d love to get a few fixes out there… and some people are a bit misinformed about what the patch actually did. In the end, though, that decision is up to LucasArts, not us, so all I can do is cross my fingers with the rest of you, really. http://modcentral.jediknightii.net/changkhan.php
Ready Wan Posted June 16, 2002 Posted June 16, 2002 This is exactly the point of this thread: http://64.246.44.70/~lucasforums.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=615292#post615292 contacting Lucas Arts and informing them of the need of a patch is much more constructive than griping to Raven or even posting in this forum for that matter.
QuietSith Posted June 16, 2002 Author Posted June 16, 2002 I think a poll works better, and I didn't have to ask anyone to keep reading this thread.
QuietSith Posted June 17, 2002 Author Posted June 17, 2002 Everytime I see a new post, blaming Raven, this gets a bump.
Datheus Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 Yea...I was just thinking this when I stumbled across this thread... We all thought that JKII was LucasArts' savior, its redemption..it was perfect:) Now they won't let Raven fix it Damn LA, I doubt I'll buy a game from them again, it was enough to have to go buy a new video card... -edit- and the 2 people who voted that LA was doing a fine job should go walk off the wrong end of a cliff somewhere
-=[M@ximus]=- Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 in my post i wasnt blaming Raven, was just askin what is going on, but from what i read hear, Lucas need to sort there fans out, or has it gone beyond Lucas's thoughts now of bringing the fans the things they want to just pure, line is pockets and tuff crap too the fan's and the 2 peeps, not a cliff, try launch your self into outer space, with no suits on!
Ioini Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 LucasArts, I condemn you people to let Raven make another offical patch. You want money? We what fun. So, let Raven work the magic. This game ain't abandonware yet folks. Do you want rioters coming at your company buliding? I didn't think so.
Scarlet Widow Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 LucasArts is just as bad as EA or Eidos, they don't give a **** what the fans want or the quality of the game they just want loot and they want it fast!
Nill the Mean Posted June 17, 2002 Posted June 17, 2002 How long has it actually been now since 1.03 was released? I can't really remember. Have we been waiting for the ever so elusive 1.04 longer than we did for 1.03? It wouldn't suprise me one bit if this game was left to rot. They made a boo-boo and I guess no-one feels like fixing it. Shame, cause with just a a few changes 1.03 could be great. Maybe if we all send one E-Mail with loads of signatures from everyone... wishfull thinking. Oh JK2, I loved thee so. Now thee art notteth as goodeth. Oh woe!
QuietSith Posted June 18, 2002 Author Posted June 18, 2002 Does anyone want to forward someone who is really important at LucasArts this particular thread? Can an admin forward this thread to the LA JK2 producer?
Chewie Bakker Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 I agree that Raven should be given more freedom in regards to patches and stuff. Raven should be allowed to update/patch at their hearts content. From what I've heard they're really eager to please. They take pride in their work, and so they should. JK2 rocks!
CapNColostomy Posted June 19, 2002 Posted June 19, 2002 I propose we all storm Skywalker Ranch. Maybe during the looting we can snag some cool movie props. I call dibs on R2-D2!
QuietSith Posted June 20, 2002 Author Posted June 20, 2002 I forwarded this thread with a link on how to register to the lucasforums (?) to Mr. Tom Sarris of LA. Hopefully he sees this poll.
ReIIiK Posted June 20, 2002 Posted June 20, 2002 I've been a Raven fan for years, I own all their games, tho my current favs are JKII and SoFII. I know Raven isn't to blame for the game not "really" being supported, that falls on LucasArts sholders.
lf412 Posted June 21, 2002 Posted June 21, 2002 we'll need more than the current 80ish or so people who have already voted to get LA to care...
