Word is that there will be a JK4, but made by EA games, not Raven. Anyone heard anything on this?

My negativity comes from the claim of how the people who say a new game is on the way. They "heard it from a friend who knows a guy who works at raven" or stuff like that. It also comes from Lucasarts willingness to sacrifice game content for speed of release. I give you KOTOR 2 and JK3 which was announced before jk2 was out for a year.

If a game does come out though, I'll be more than willing to buy it and give it a shot.

Yeah a new game would not suffer from the "rushed" feeling of jk3. There is the risk of scrapping content like in KOTOR2 still though. I'm sure that happens in almost every game, but when its easily able to discover like in the case of KOTOR 2 that's just bad for everyone. Bad for the gamers because they see what the game could have been, and bad for the company because the fans are pissed at what they cut.

I agree there, you do hear a lot of "my cousin's friend's uncle works at the company" and it does get irritating. However as to your other point about rushed games, its perhaps the one good thing about the delay between jk3 and the next game, perhaps it has been in development in secret for all that time :P (haha i know unlikely) But yeah i agree JK3 and KotOR2 were horribly rushed out by LA.

Until there's an official release from the publisher that a game is being made don't believe it.


dont be so negative damnn it! *slaps buzz with a wooden spork* *taps red shoes together* There wilkl be a jk4 there will be a jk4 :p


True actually, quite a few people at the JA seem to have a very negative attitute towards a new JK/DF game being released, despite many players here being bored or never liking JK3. Personally i don't see it as that unlikely that they will make another game at some point, it will make them some money, and there is no reason they have to go to Raven as its such as the game is basically the Jedi game, so even if Raven own the old build they will just start from scratch and call it 'Jedi Knight', it dosn't have to even feature Katarn the name would sell more copies of the game, so they would use it most likely.

indeed! and they could look around the web, and see our big community and think "oh well theres 2500 people that will buy it" cuz comeon, who can honestly say that if a jk4 comes out, they wont buy it :P?

I think if they made a so-called "JK4," they ought to call it "Dark Forces 6" or some numerical variant, just to continue the tradition of confusing numbering conventions in the series.:P

they have to use the doom 3 engine! that would be sweet


That would be a step backwards..the Doom3 engine is way too CPU intensive and its old and out dated now.


hmmm what about 'updated version' of it like that
multiplayer game on development focused around strogg vs marines( lol dunno the game name :P) ?
do you still call it outdated?


Alot of work went into updateing that engine, and that engine is made for huge outdoor environments. Its really not the doom3 engine anymore at that point, its hte QuakeWars engine with parts of the D3 engine remaning.


so if lets say ppl make jk4 with quakewars engine it wouldnt be a step back? bleh why i am asking - you never know :P


If they did have jk4 use the QuakeWars engine, we would see huge environments instead of close proxitmity cities perhaps. Take for example Tattioone's city on Kotor for those that have played it. But for the huge outdoor environment, Tattooine's outside with the dune sea and Cave with Krate Dragon.

I believe its called Quake Wars...

A JK4 would be nice if they updated the graphics and such and kept the rest... Maybe just multiplayer?

yeah my friends brothers 3rd cousins 2nd marriage's step son in law knows... pfft..


Honestly

the move from Jedi Knight I to JK II to JK: JA look at how they've developped the force powers and use of the lightsaber.

now think about if there is going to be a next one. what would they " Try" to improve.

Post your opinions.

something like more Realistic movements or graphics. will it be that you just mash a certain button combo and do a spinning jump kick to the head and cut some other guy in half? or will they keep the current fighting system. where you have your basic attacks and have to chain them together yourself.

with JKJA you had the addition of the speeder bike and in multiplayer you can fly some space craft. will they extend on that to make it a FULL open game. Can you choose what path you want to fight. either Sith or Jedi or even Mercenary. so you can play the same storyline out in three different perspectives.

for example. one level contains a merchant ship.

As the Jedi you could be investigating it for illegal items.
As a Sith you could be in charge of smuggling illegal items.
or
As a Merc. you'd be the guy guarding over the items.

so many choices.. heh.. maybe I should write the storyline for the next Jedi Knight installment.

Acey Spadey Presents..

A story within the Star Wars Galaxy..

who will you choose to be....

what will be your path...

what will you fight for...

and what are your goals...

all this can be accomplished in..

........

I have no idea what I'd call it though
