Prime Posted April 1, 2003 Author Share Posted April 1, 2003 Originally posted by Wacky_Baccy I do believe we can close the thread and settle any bets now - see here for why You beat me to it Here is the relavent section of the linked post from ChangKhan[RAVEN]: Okay, well, first off, if I'm going to answer any of the questions, I guess I need to admit that we are, indeed, making this game (should be pretty obvious by now, so no-one should get mad at me for admitting as much). No, it's not a hoax/joke/rumor, no, it's not an expansion pack, it is a full, complete, stand-alone game. And it's called Jedi Knight III right now for lack of a better name, I, personally, would not call it a "sequel" to JK2 since I think a DF/JK game should always be about the Katarns (maybe a true JK3 could be about Kyle and Jan's child, who perhaps shows a particularly strong adeptness with the Force...?) So I wouldn't be surprised if the name doesn't stay "Jedi Knight III" (but who knows). Not that it's not a full game, it's bigger than JK2 in terms of gameplay, content and features, it's just not, in my opinion, the true sequel to JK2. I think that one shouldn't be done for a year or so and should probably use a new engine. So all you nay-sayers were crying for nothing Sorry, had to get a jab in there...

Reborn Outcast Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 You guys dont seem to get that just because 3 programmers who WORK FOR RAVEN and are very advanced in their ability to make graphics pics, does NOT mean that its real. This could very well be a very elaborate hoax. But it would be nice if it wasn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reborn Outcast Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Yea sorry. But I dont want to be caught off-guard if they announce that it was an April Fools joke. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait for this to come out but I don't want to be unprepaired if they were just toying with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOneCanoli Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 Now that we have Mike Gummelt on this very message board, discussing and CONFIRMING the game, I don't think there's much room for debate. Regardless, April Fool's jokes generally happen on April 1st, not a few days ahead of time. This would be an extremely elaborate and infinitely stupid hoax if it were one. Between a respected German gaming magaizine, a respectable gaming news site (JKII.net ), and the lead programmer from JKII, the potential for decreased slaes/traffic in their respective markets is just too great to ultimately piss off and alienate an entire gaming community. It is simply horrid and insane business practice to do such a thing. No way this is a hoax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy867 Posted April 1, 2003 Share Posted April 1, 2003 I have official word from Kenn Hoekstra, Project Leader of Raven Games, that there shall be in fact, a 3rd Jedi Knight game, however, it will not be known officially as Jedi Knight 3, since it isn't a true sequel, since Kyle Katarn is no longer the lead character in the storyline. He will be in the game though, and a major role apparently, but his time as being the main character is over. Make way for the new wave of Jedi Knights.
