Taos Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 The title of the game is good.....I'm slowly warming up to it. It's a nice site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 DIGL does it again!! Well, done, mate. Thanks for the heads-up. I'm beginning to suspect you've got a Spybot continually buzzing around Lucasarts HQ... At least we have some of the other weapons confirmed... While players will be able to accomplish more by using the lightsaber in Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy, they also will have a variety of weapons - new and old - at their disposal including a blaster, blaster rifle, Wookiee bowcaster, Imperial repeater, and a Destructive Electro-Magnetic Pulse gun. ...from the official Press release.

Rat Boy Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Hmmm, does this mean there are going to be two Jedi Knight product lines? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff 42 Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Anyone else notice that the title bar for the site says "Star Wars Jedi Knight: A Jedi's Legacy"? It seems like they might have been in a rush to get the site put up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacky_Baccy Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Posted by Rat Boy Hmmm, does this mean there are going to be two Jedi Knight product lines? Doubt it - Kyle seems to be effectively retiring from the mainstream Jedi action in this one, so I expect the series will evolve along this "make your own character" route... Posted by Jeff 42 Anyone else notice that the title bar for the site says "Star Wars Jedi Knight: A Jedi's Legacy"? It seems like they might have been in a rush to get the site put up. Intriguing...

The_One Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Please bring back the Concussion Rifle - one of my favourite guns, which was ommitted from JKII. I knew this wasn't the full blown JKIII I think it's likely JKIII will be on the Doom 3 engine if/when it comes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlyOneCanoli Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Back to your old tricks, digl? Interesting that they omitted the the '3' from the title. I suppose because the '3' would imply the further adventures of Kyle, which this is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat Boy Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 I'm surprised nobody has zeroed in on this piece of concept art with, of all things, pants! The pants is strong in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digl Posted April 3, 2003 Author Share Posted April 3, 2003 hehe probably new people didn't understand what stormy wacky and canoli said i couldn't come back without good news threads about the "3" thing, Changkhan posted that he thinks they may do a jk3 later, based on Kyle's son Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Krayt Tion Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Interesting to note that this game is being released on the Xbox as well. Hopefully the PC version will be given priority and released first like last time. If they are released at the same time it is likley that Raven made sacrifices in the general design or features department to ensure playbility on the console.

Rat Boy Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Why don't they make it interesting and make it Kyle's daughter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted April 3, 2003 Share Posted April 3, 2003 Originally posted by digl about the "3" thing, Changkhan posted that he thinks they may do a jk3 later, based on Kyle's son Yeah, maybe. Mind you, if they can do that...then they can technically continue the Dark Forces series too, IMHO. I'm still waiting for them to decide to make a PC Bounty Hunter or Commando game...no Force powers, just running and gunning action... Hi Krayt. *waves* Good to see you around.

Yeah, it would be nice to be the bad guy for once. How about a Dark Forces prequel? You get to be Kyle running missions for the Empire, then part way through you realise they murdered your father - you then hook up with Jan, and start running missions for the Rebels, leading nicely into Dark Forces 1... Now there's an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now there's an idea Now that is an excellent idea. And if they don't make a proper game of it...maybe another Mod? I don't know if you could use the book Soldier For The Empire as a basis...but I'm sure we could come up with a decent plot ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digl Posted April 3, 2003 Author Share Posted April 3, 2003 You remind me of the threads at owk.net, pages and pages about the hypotetical BH FPS game... It may be done someday, it would be great Rat Boy, chang talked about a game that may eventually be done in the future...it's note like the story is defined already.Complaining about the NEXT jk game is a bit too much...

If/When it did, I doubt JK3 would be using it just because the close combat of it isn't the best. And JK3 is going to be mainly sabers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeTRiTiC-iQ Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 says who? If JK3 turns out to be part of the Dark Forces series as opposed to Jedi Academy, then surely its likely that guns will play a larger role? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tesla Posted April 4, 2003 Share Posted April 4, 2003 It's true jk3 is go, it's gonna be called:- Star Wars Jedi Knight:-Jedi Acadamy here's the offical web page Jedi Knight-Jedi Acadamy :)yes i'm so happy now!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
