Hey All

well like the rest of you I've seen the pics and they look good. But they are still using the Quake 3 engine for the game.

JK2 hasn't been out that long and they're already making its sequel but still using the same engine. I think Lucasarts should have waited until a new engine came out that would give much better graphics e.g. Doom 3 engine, and then made a game that would make JK2's graphics look dated like JK2 makes JK1's graphics.

But thats just my opinion, what do you guys think?

Wow, i just looked at that Troopers thing... Looks a hundred times better than JO... If only a lightsaber could be made in, then that would be a better game!

To be frank, I feel abused. If they were makin non SW game, they wouldn't use Q3 again. But they know SW and ability to use a lightsaber will sell the game. I will buy it. The yknow I will. Did anyone hear about troopers mod for UT2K3? http://www.ut2003troopers.co.uk
If they could only import lightsaber in it Raven would have a true competition! And we would get a better game!

well, wasnt SOF based on the Unreal engine ? *confused*

anyway, I dont see the need for a huge fancy-shmancy engine as in Unreal II, they should focus on missions and features.

*waves his hand on the developers* hihi

Does this mean they're using some method other than binary space partitioning to cull rendering?

they did modify the engine quite a bit. They also seem to be making the engine more outside-area friendly, which is nice.

JK3 must be released as quick as possible, because there will be no 1.05 for JK2!!

Well, i kinda agree... But the polygon count is MUCH higher, i heard... And the thing is that they are using the almost exact same guys that made JK2... And those guys can do wonders with this enginge now... Plus, they've moddified it MUCH more; u cant put a word in for how much they've moddified the enginge... And a new thingie will be used for the maps, so that they are bigger, and have more detailed curves... And i guess that they would want to do it while the community around JK2 is still highly active!!! Plus they might make a JK4 some day... U never know...:empire::empire::empire:

From what I know the Doom3 engine isnt complete yet.. That's why Raven's not developing Quake 4 yet. JK3 will be using a modified JK2 + SOF2 engine.
