Proposal:

There will be no JK4. We switch to MOUNT AND BLADE (http://store.steampowered.com/app/48720/ £14 for the complete thing) running the excellent STAR WARS CONQUEST mod (http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?topic=40510.0).

YEA OR NAY?

Yeah, I was debating whether to post the video. However, I think this effort is relatively new so probably should wait to judge it. Just wanted to let you guys know about the upcoming mod. Might be worth checking out when released.........but that could be years from now.............


unfortunately it kinda took half a year to make what you see there (according to given info atleast). and it looks soooo early that realistically we can expect this in a few years lol

Let me recommend you Starcraft 2, honest Eckyman.


I keep meaning to check it out but I end up getting sidetracked with other games a lot. Might pick it up this weekend and give it a whirl.

That's not the case at all, I can't see that mod doing any better than JKA is now because all it has is a sword fighting system nearly as good. A lot of people who have said nay here have played warbands, its a good game but for me, the multiplayer mod isn't enough to justify a complete swap.


Because we have been playing JKJA for 8 years and are bored of it? :>

(P.S. not like the JKJA servers would go anywhere, but they're pretty dead, just sayin')

I don't get why most people say no when they haven't even tried or played mount and blade at all.


Because thats the mentality of todays gamers, people that play COD religiously badmouth Bad Company and refuse to see why its a good game, Xbox fanboys shout at PS3 fanboys etc... the fact is people dont like change so to speak. That's why they say stuff sucks before trying it. I usually say it doesn't appeal to me before i try it and then get a proper opinion when i have tested it.
Like for instance, L..A Noire is going to be so FREAKING fantastic, yet i haven't played it, i just think it will be :D it might actually be crap but im already a fan of it all the way through development so im very bias :D but you get my point ? :P

Surely you can't be serious, it looks more like an RTS than anything else.

It really doesn't at all.

There's a source mod that focuses solely on Star Wars, Star Wars: The New Era.

Check it out.

I actually sometimes hope that they're not developing a sequel to the JK games, mostly because of the current market situation - if you take that into account, the game will inevitably end up being a button smashing hack'n'slash a la TFU.


i think thats the case. there is just no demand of realistic or semi-realistic fighting game.
a few years ago dark messiah was released. ofcourse it had its problems, but its surprising that people didnt mod it to death. nobody heart of any other semi realistic fighting game ever since. except maybe mount and blade.

majority just want to press a button and see their character perform a flashy attack.
notice how every noob in jka uses katas exclusively.

that ut3 mod looks promising, but it looks like it needs a lot of work. i mean its already after what... 7-8 months of development and effectively it looks like ut3 with different guns.

Come on now, every Generation X boy wanted to be Luke Skywalker. Is it because he was a whiney farm boy from some backwater hack planet? No, it's because he was a FREAKING JEDI. He could block lasers with his lightsaber. He could levitate droids & rocks & crap with his mind. Come on, he choked two pig dudes with just a simple gesture. He cut off Darth Vader's hand and kicked him down a flight of stairs. He got his @$$ zapped by lightning from the geezer Emperor, stood up and said "s'at all you got b!tc#??"

Mount and blade is a good game but mostly a good singleplayer game. It doesn't hurt to add it as a supported game. We will still be supporting jka anyway. I made a list of possible games and mods a while ago. Here is it again:

Quote:
Now about tja's future. Every beginning has it's end, that's true and the tja's jka3 period is ending now. Like others have said before. But this just means that it's time for something new. I suggest we keep tja focused on SW games/mods though. Though I would like to play some other games with you guys too. Remember L4D Masta and Vision? We totally should do that again! So here are my suggestions for games:

Games
-SWGemu: I like SWG a lot! Especially the Jump to Lightspeed expansion. And it would be absolutely awesome to play it with this community.

-SWTOR: Would be nice to play with this community but I probably won't be playing it due to monthly fees and because I don't have a job or anything. Plus space looks bad compared to SWG. While the graphics are charming I don't think they fit the SW universe.

-Battlefront 1&2: Fun games especially the second with the spacebattles. Would be fun to play from time to time but there aren't much possibilities if you know what I mean.


Mods
-SW: The New Era(Source engine): Probably the best bet, this mod merged with moviebattles source and they recently started working on it again.(link)

-First Strike(Battlefield 2142): Seems like a good alternative for battlefront.(link)

-Galactic Warfare(COD4): Very good graphics, true first person shooter.(link)

-SW: Spec-Ops(CSS): Showed potential but appears to be dead.(link)

Well there you have it. As you can see I keep track of a lot of games/mods. I'll let you guys know when something big happens. There's one thing left to say though. None of these mods are even close to the JK series experience, exept SW:TNE which might include a similar saber system. I am surprised that no one of the huge jk fanbase has taken the time to make jk4 in an opensource engine. I've been planning on modding/making a game myself for a long time and jk4 is one of the things I would want to make. If there isn't a jk4 in the next few years I might search a team and start on it myself. Anyway I think I've said enough for now!


Also important: We could support moviebattles too now that mbu died.

Even better: Some guys of the moviebattles team are making moviebattles for unreal 3 engine.
