DSLuke Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Does anyone know if new Jedi Knight game is gonna be released shortly? I would think that some ascepts of KOTOR could be introduced to the series, hence making them more sotry driven. Also the next Jedi Knight could also take place in Old Republic times.

Master_Splinter Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 I have done some searches at google but I didn't found anything...... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They released Jedi Academy shortly after Jedi Outcast. We'll probably have to wait a while for the next one. I liked Jedi Academy, but it left something to be desired. The levels were fun, but extremely short and easy. Also, the game didn't let you play as Kyle = P But hey, this post doesn't belong here. This s a kotor forum.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostofAnakin Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Also, the game didn't let you play as Kyle = P <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That was one of the positives, as far as I was concerned. I don't like playing an existing character (Revan was an exception because, technically, he wasn't "existing" before KOTOR was made).

Master Ats Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I totally agree with DSLUKE, a more story driven game JK game would be awesome. Don't get me Wrong Jedi Outcast was a good game with a ok story, but it was no KOTOR. But i don't see it happening any time soon cos Raven games are currently making a sequel to x-men legends.

Pope Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 I for one would love a new JK game, but some things would need to be seriously overhauled. For example, I would introduce RPG-like dialog and a non-linear ( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 Ah yes, I forgot to mention one important thing. A new JK game would need to have a superb physics engine, allowing you to use the Force to move all objects and throw them at your foes (like HL2's gravity gun). And some memorable characters in the plot please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naso Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 The big thing I think is that we've already seen the end result of trying to add any more complexity to prerecorded mo-cap: JA and it's horrid kata's, lack of control, and just general terribleness. If they make a new one we need a drastically new control system that lets you use the lightsaber in a freer manner. How this is possible, I don't know. Jaden was horrible. Just a generic little brat. No story whatsoever. Then there was the dreadful support for the game. Not as bad as KotOR's, but then I didn't get banned from message boards for mentioning the fact that KotOR was a non-functional product.....

Force Grip gravity gun style would be outstanding, and free reign to tug anything about you want instead of the few things you're supposed to what be pretty good too. It would definitely need better characters though, Jaden and his/her whiny pal were the most irritating game characters ever. Jedi are supposed to be warrior monk style folk trained from childhood like shaolin monks. So why are so many Jedi in things lately such stereotyped whiny little teen ****? I blame Anakin Skywalker.

In the NJO era, everything sucks. :ph34r: There is still the most important issue of any Jedi action game: lightsaber combat. I'd rather not have another game with such a craptacular fighting system as that of JK2 and JA. I mean, it was fun and stuff, but it was nothing alike the movies. Jumping and running around in circles all the time is not what good ol' Obi-Wan does. We'll see how they do it for the EP3 game, but I'm not holding my hopes too high. - When he is best, he is a little worse than a man, and when he is worst, he is little better than a beast.

Obviously I never mastered it, but I found myself, as you described, jumping around all the time, pressing the mouse button and running rather than an actual "duel".

Niten_Ryu Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 I loved JK2 combat. Not that much against human or computer opponents but watching 2 or more equal computer controlled NPC fight each other. Spawn few Luke's, few Dark Masters and some Stormtroopers for fun. Asbolutely beautiful. KotOR combat should look like that. Let's play Alpha Protocol My misadventures on youtube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
