Is anything like jk4 coming up in the future not that far? Or are they making more patches for 3... or is the surviving of the game up to our mighty mappers,modders,skinners and all other extra makers

Or me. People think it's all down to Lucas arts, but where would the Jedi Knight games be without Raven Software? I doubt there'll be another though

Hopefully they base it on the Q4 engine, graphics look great in quake 4. But the people with lower end systems might not be able to keep up. :(

We all know Lucas is a big fan of making even more millions than his huge bankaccount alrdy consists off, so it would surprise me that he wouldnt continue one of his most succesfull game series.

this is a 'strong rumour' because:
1.there arent many known lucasarts games in development for next year.
2.it looks like we are waiting for ages now.
3.its weird that such big developer like lucas arts would forget jedi knight series.

i could think of some more things i feel about new jedi knight game but most of them are just 'hopes' :P

You are correct, randomers on FFA servers might not be the best source of insider informations. %)

I know this may sound a little far-fetched but I heard they were going to make a mini-sequel to JKA sometime next year. It would only include the following game types: FFA, TFFA, and Duel. There would be a much better collision engine and alot of bugs fixed (no more pokes). I dont know about it, but some guy on a ffa server was gallavanting about it. So dont shoot the messanger :eek:

yeah i imagine LA will bring back (and maybe introduce new) Expanded universe games like Jedi knight and KotOR once the prequal frenzy has died down, end of next year - '07 to tie in with the new legacy of the force books coming out is my guess.

I've got some beachfront property in Kansas to sell you too.

I've never heard of a game receiving outside beta testing, unless its an mmorpg.


or just simple mmo ;)
there was a game called need for speed : motor city online.
ofcourse that doesnt mean anything at all ... doh :P

Seeing as how any place that has a body of water with some sand on the bank(s) has a beach....I imagine Kansas has plenty of beaches.

So this means that he wasn't pulling my leg!! SWEET! :P

Well, there was a group called D3 jedi, who were making a complete mod for the doom 3 engine that would be along the lines of a jk style game, but last I heard it was scrapped until a more heavily modified version of the engine came out, ie quake 4.

Publicity has nothing to do with it. JKA sold alot of copies, as did JK2 and JK1, it would be a bad business decision not to make another. After all, starwars isnt exactly losing its fanbase. I'm pretty sure once ravensoft gets its feet wet on the doom3 engine with quake4, they'll be ready to start converting it to a saber game.


Which brings up a really good question: how does LA plan on keeping Star Wars alive with no more movies to fuel it? Yes there were some great SW titles before EP1 came out, but the 3 recent movies really drove the sales for SW stuff. Now with the movies complete and the promise of no more, how does a business based off of the saga's fanbase expect to thrive? If you were an LA executive, would you be looking for a new job?

Sure they do. That's why they're coming out yet again with a RTS Star Wars game. Basically you figure that they do about 3-4 at the most star wars games in a year. That means if they decide to make another one soon, that puts it at a late 2006 release or early 2007. That assumes they are in development now, or will be starting in the very near future.
