Pnut_Man Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 You bums, this isn't a hoax... Plus the models in the screenshots are a higher resolution in detail than the ones released in the community (no offense to model makers).
Monkey Mania Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 How do you know? the screens are in low res....
ryudom Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 not the same models, not the same maps, you can tell its totally differant...

ARagerCool Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 Okay, I'm not sure if anyone else caught this, but I left window for the link http://www.gamestar.de/reklawyks/secret-jk3/ open, and then after some time the screen changed and went to this image: http://www.gamestar.de/reklawyks/secret-jk3/2.htm Check out the image there. Does anybody have any idea what that may be?
Shadow Blight Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 All I can say is that 2003 should be caled the "year of the Jedi..." Starwars galixies, Kights of the old republic and now JediKnightIII:)
Boba Rhett Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 April 1st.... This can't be just a coincidence.

Does anybody have any idea what that may be? Rancor most likely...or another Barney? (Desann joke)
master_thomas Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 I've never heard of or seen any model like that. Body of a fish, size of a gorilla, eyes of an insect, hands of an iguana. Lovely Some of those pictures do look higher quality than JK2. I agree with wassup. Looks like a rancor.
PerfectJamie Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 wow! just what I wanted, ever since I herd of Jk2 I wanted these stuff and now....I have my assasins stationed around lucas arts, just in case this is a hoax
AridSunCrusher Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 wow, dark forces 4 already?! man does time fly. JK3 looks like it will be as much an evolution from JO, as JO was from JK:DF2. I was absolutely blown away by Jedi outcast after playing knight. From looking at those pimp screens, it looks like JK3 might just give JO, and all previous dark forces installments a run for their money. Let's hope.
inbredyokel Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 It doesn't look like much of a technological jump at all. It's obviously the same engine, simply better utilized. While the pictures are very small and only give a glimpse of the game, they aren't very impressive and can't hold a candle to some of the great models and maps we've seen released. I just hope this game actually has new depth, and doesn't just make the superficial changes that the screens show off. What will be the point of having 2 lightsabers, a double bladed lightsaber, or any new features for that matter if they're useless, unbalanced, or only serve to make the game look pretty?

Dark Cloak Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 So why exactly do you male people *cackles* smell BS? Just like guys. Just...argue, argue, argue...instead of just waiting for an issue to take shape. I'm willing to make a guess that several people may already be making monetary bets on whether or not those screenshots are actually authentic. *smirks* At least, it wouldn't suprise me. Patience is a virtue unlike any other. Wait. Watch. Listen. Don't start yelling "BS!" before you see more evidence. The shots are low resolution, but look somehow spectacular. Yes, they're bound to look similar because they are running on the same engine as JK2. HOWEVER, I recall John Carmack scrapping the Quake 3 engine and starting with a bare-bones (or something close) version of it to turn it into the Doom 3 engine (eh, don't quote me on it). Who's the say that Raven won't do the same? These are only a few shots. Any higher-resolution scans? :) And the April Fools thing...that's TOO easy. As one of you pointed out, that would be one BIG A** JOKE. It would also piss off LOTS of people (such as myself ). Are...those shots from Gamestar, by the way? I can't find any bookstore that sells the magazine (I'm in Texas...heh). Too...much...caffiene...*passes out* man...I think one of my classmates drugged my coffee this morning...
The Truthful Liar Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 Originally posted by Dark Cloak Are...those shots from Gamestar, by the way? Yes.
Dark Cloak Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 Aaaah, cool. I wish I could get that magazine here. I always pick up CGW and PC Gamer every month. Speaking of which, I wonder if they're going to have any bits about this in their magazines. It would be interesting, I think.
XeNsion Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 They said it isnt a April Fools Day joke, but on that side there will be some extra content. And in a Interview in that Review Raven says it is using the Q3-Engine because it is so familar with is.
Dark Cloak Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 I can see that. I mean...it's a cool engine. It has the ability to be reworked completely (or at least to a point). About the dynamic lighting, though...um...yeah...I don't think it's gonna be happening, unless Raven bumps the thing up a few notches. But then again, it's Star Wars. When have you notcied a time in the Star Wars universe (I'm going to get slain for asking this) when there has been dynamic lighting? One, maybe two scenes? Three, if I'm not remembering one. The rest is all big battles where there are lots of flashes, explosions, etc. I don't see a need for dynamic lighting except for player shadows. The thing I want to see in JK3...which I'm fairly sure the Q3 engine is NOT capable of...is RAGDOLL PHYSICS!!! DEAR GOD can't Raven PLEASE incorperate RAGDOLL PHYSICS? *giggle...blush*
CreepingDeathNL Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 Considering that secret site someone just posted I think we can conclude that it IS an april fools' joke. Jedi Knight 3 is a Hoax. BUT, I think it is possible though that it very well could be an add on. Evidence: - The Screenies show a lot of similarity between JK2 and "JK3", it could be an evolutionary process ofteen seen in add ons. - The "JK3" menu system is identical to JK2. - The Story has this "add-on" feel going on, not being the main character and all... - "JK3" is already suposedly 60% finished, that means they have used a LOT of the JK2 code. Again, more likely for that to be an add on. It might also be possible that they're doing a JK2 mod preview. Does anyone know if this magazine does anything like that?
Darth berserker Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 The screenies are nice, I can't wait to run around as a twi'lek and kill sandpeople...
