#Include, you also mention constantly that you were part of the LucasArts team that developed Jedi Academy, when in fact, Raven developed the game. You should probably stop while you're not so far ahead. ;)

Orion...

I work with LucasArts.


If there is a project, I can't say...but I can honestly say right now that there are no solid plans, at the moment.

I seriously doubt you have any insider information from lucasarts about that..

If anyone saw the G4 Icons about Star Wars games. Lucas Arts is still commited to making Star Wars games they learned from their past mistakes by making a Star Wars game for just about everythign udner the sun.. They plan to release fewer star wars titles per year so they don't over saturate the market like they did in the late 90s. I think another JK game is possible its up to LA and whoever wants to make it.

At the moment, it's a general idea floating around, but no plans are currently solid.

I still love JK3, but a newer improved version of it would kick ass. I heard a while back that they were going to start on a new version after the Ep III game was completed, but havent heard anything in a while. Anyone else?

Personally, I love the mp of Episode 3. The single player of it reminded me of LOTR : ROTK (which I thought was a great game) but MP reminded more of DOA. It has combos, grabs, and counters, except now you have force and a lightsaber. Episode 3 seems to be a combination of these two games, and I love all three.

Well, i dont really like the ep3 gameplay.Yes ive played it and in my opinion, this games gameplay is more "beat-em up" like (especially the 1on1 mp of the ep3 game).You just press a few buttons in a specific order and your char´s gonna do a combo.Control during swings or combos is very limited...

Republic Commando was way too easy, they should make a jk4 with moves from the Episode 3 game. And btw is jk2 any good? I didn't played it, thx to my nephew I know jk3. And yes I think Jedi Academy is getting a little bit boring, I want jk4 now :mad:

amen to that brother. yeh JK3 wasn't differnt enough, and the story sucked compared to JK2. Having kyle as main is a must, they just got away with mara jade in mysteries of the sith, but such a let down, the dual ended and double sabers were cool, but no need to release a whole new game for that. Personally i think they should of held out, and JK4 should use the source engine coz it rocks my world :D

When I bought JK3, it was somewhat of an disappointment. For me, it couldn't (and still can't) live up to JK2.
I stopped playing it prety quick, but I don't know if that's because JK3 is not that good a game, but I've been playing JK2 very much and very actively, so I might just have got tired with the kind of games both are.
I sometimes try to pick up playing JK3, but I find that the graphics scare me (to ugly :P) and I've been out to long, so I really really suck at the moment.
Maybe if JK4 will come out, I might buy it and see if I can get hooked up again, but for now, I'm focussing on other games such as World of Warcraft, CS:Source.

Personally I think they messed up the story big time, they should've stayed with Kyle because,from Dark forces to now its been about kyle, its his story of his fight with the darkside. JK3 looks more like JK1 than JK2, but I hate to say that because JK1 is so much better than JK3.


As a jedi knight fan I may understand that, but first of all I thought it was perfect the way they went into jedi academy and blew me away (also blew me away in JK2 going to the temple wehre luke sky walker was) maily because I read the jedi academy trilogy books. I like the idea of Kyle Katarn being a veteran and has the stuff to be a jedi master especially when he escape the grasps and lure of anger, the dark side. Also lets not forget that several people find that in Jedi academy being dark side is way harder, because Kyle Katarn is the la créme of the créme and can basicly kick your butt easier than any other boss in jedi academy. ( He was the main character)

My issue on the seqeul thing, is the only improvement suggestion I heard so far were newer engines? I mean what is the point of making a seqeul if you can not find a way to improve the game play in a way that most people are happy with. I mean honestly the only ways you can improve it are teh ways we already do, makign custom maps, custom siege types, custom servers and awesome community, modding it to what ever we want. I mean JK 4 at this point would probally only have better graphics, slighly 'different' gameplay and a new single player and why would you need that if you can mod the crap out of jedi academy. My opinion I don't want to see a seqaul to jedi academy for a long time until there are some serios improvement to make ( like how we went from 3D games with one joystick and using teh arrows to turn left and right, to using two joysticks, or using the mouse to aim. OH and just to let you knwo in James Bond I may my joysticsk do the aiming and the turning and the C buttons do all the moving unlike all other players I played with :D ) For example as soon as halo 2 released, it was a great game, but I easily knew what they could of done better right on the spot. I can't see an entiner new seqeul to jedi academy that will be worth the purchase (maybe an expansion to the game, of course I don't want to see an expansion for a while if it is not going to be any good )

i agree with bail but have to say that the reason we have as many members as we do is because Ja dosent need the best graphics and allows almost any computer to be able to play it.

Yeah, JK:JA is kind of loosing it's glory...maybee because of the same environment?
I still play it though, the awesome duel is what strives me. I love long duels. So I'm still on.

I've tried to play Republic Commando, but my graphics card wont take it. No pixel shader support :mad:
