Darth Stryke Posted July 25, 2003 Author Share Posted July 25, 2003 I apologize for me being so fast to post. I was just a bit excited Just wanted to point out this is not from Lucasarts, although jk2files.com has been very reliable in the past, so I believe them that this is the current official release, though it can still be pushed back (hope not) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boinga1 Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Grrr...rarrrr... It had better not be, because that's exactly two days after my birthday... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Excellent! I know there is nothing on the official site yet, but the tide of info pointing to mid-Sept is getting quite strong ... Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emon Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 Yeah, so ask for money so you can buy it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reprehence Posted July 25, 2003 Share Posted July 25, 2003 I hope they start moving their marketing a bit now that mid-Sept. seems to be firming up. I haven't heard much out there since it was announced - no articles etc. It doesn't even have an "official" web site off the LA site. I hope they push this game as hard as they did JO because I think it'll be a big success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you just say it is what you really want, and it is OK if you can't get it until 2 days later ... Personally, I'm glad it is nowhere near anything ... I had to wait nearly a week (!) for JKII for my birthday (yes I could have bought it, but I'm a pain to shop for and so my wife and kids appreciate anything I can suggest ) Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it is time to start the marketing machinery, but there IS a site (http://www.lucasarts.com/products/jediacademy/) Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legameboy Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 September 16! Lucky me That's 8 days before my birthday (No, really it is ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reprehence Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I agree it is time to start the marketing machinery, but there IS a site (http://www.lucasarts.com/products/jediacademy/) You're right technically I guess. But you'll notice most of the games that are complete or near complete have an "official site" link on their page. KOTOR had this link months before it came out. It tends to have a lot more content. Maybe they won't do it for JA - but it makes me wonder what they're up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Truthful Liar Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Good to know, I'm going to sticky this for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Stryke Posted July 26, 2003 Author Share Posted July 26, 2003 Cool, I got a sticky Anyways, I am sure they will start marketing it a lot more once the release date gets around and is more secure. I just hope it does not fall victim to one of those famous Lucasarts push-backs where the game is delayed for months. (KOTR was originally scheduled for winter 2002 for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HertogJan Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I'm still not convinced... Why was this made sticky?? I will believe it when I see it on the official site, not earlier!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEDI OUTCAST Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 i went into my game store today and they told me star wars jedi knight 3 : jedi academy will be out on the 1st of november. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but it takes rather a while to ship things from California to the Yavin Temple ... And HertogJan, I agree, but as the 'when's it coming out' threads have hit a fever pitch ... perhaps when the TRUE confirmation hits this gets unstuck.

Darth Stryke Posted July 26, 2003 Author Share Posted July 26, 2003 Massassi.net and a few other websites now have this as the release date, so lets all hope this gets confirmed on the official site soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prime Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Originally posted by nykel007 how long has dev been? couple of months....??? It has been in development since soon after JO was released, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txa1265 Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Originally posted by Prime It has been in development since soon after JO was released, I believe. Exactly. Numerous times they have stated that they started work soon after JO was released, and were really looking forward to taking advantage to what they had learned during JO and SoFII and the advances they had made to their engines.

There's a simple explanation ... ... they are wrong!!! Mike (edit: that is not me saying that I know anything for sure, just that everything points to mid-Sept, so it is likely that Virgin is incorrect) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
