Arcuss - Student  |
Howdy boys and girls, I posted on an earlier thread my intentions of securing an interview with the developers of JK:Jedi Academy. I'm happy to report that my efforts may have finaly paid off. With the help of Kenn Hoekstra over at RavenSoft (Kenn is awesome), I managed to track down Ronda Scott, Lucas arts Internet Community Relations Specialist. Here's what Ronda had to say: -------------------------------------------------- Hi Edward - I'm fairly certain that there will not be a public beta testing for Jedi Academy. However, we'll be putting together a Fan Site Kit shortly after E3 (mid-May) that will cover basic FAQs and have a series of screen shots for sites to use. We'll be setting up Q&As with the team at Raven after E3 as well. We'd be happy to work with you on coverage and a Q&A. Thanks! Ronda -------------------------------------------------- Never let anyone tell you it doesn't pay to be persistent.  So with that said I have a question for all of you. If you could ask one question of the developers from Ravensoft about JK:JA what would it be? Please post your responses here. I'll talk with DJ about picking some of the best and most frequently asked questions for the Q&A. Your friendly neighborhood EX-Knight, :arcuss: This post was edited by Arcuss on Jun 12 2003 08:32pm. |

Arcuss, you rock! Give the man a place in the council!  I think we must focus on the questions that is not gonna be asked by other people, like Ulic said. Unfotunatly I can't think of a question right now, just wanted to back Ulic up. |

Hmm... I'm trying to think up something. The thing is, some of the questions may be asked by other people, and hence, we don't need to waste a question that someone else will ask for us. I'll think up something, but right now I am thinking of some question that might benefit the Academy, like: "How will special moves be executed? Will they be programmed in (like set Special 1 (T Key) to do and RDFA, Special 2 to a Backstab, etc), or does one need to follow a set of button combinations (like the current system, foward+jump+attack=YDFA)?" I think knowing some insight to THIS will help us out a lot, in terms of structuring our training. If it is a matter where there are 15 special moves, but you can only assign 5 at one time, and merely press a button for them, then we must focus on what the benefits/weaknesses of each special is. If you can do ALL moves, provided you know the combos, then we will teach like we do now, with showing HOW to do the moves, and likewise the strengths/weaknesses, and counters. So I think that the technical ones will be asked by others. This one should be asked because it would definately prepare the Academy as a whole to direct its prospective training, so we know sorta what to look to. _______________ Jedi do not fight for peace. That's only a slogan, and is as misleading as slogans always are. Jedi fight for civilization, because only civilization creates peace. |

Arcuss you're a legend! Here's my question: When JK2:JediOutcast came out, different patches were made for us gamers to have a better gaming experience, like the 1.03 or 1.04 patch. Most gamers around think that the 1.04 patch has helped the most. Will the gameplay of JK3 be based around what the 1.04 patch has corrected and used, or will there be a newer and better system? Also when the 1.04 patch was installed, MP was changed to 1.04 while the SP was changed to 1.03. In JK3 will the SP and Multiplayer have the SAME type of gameplay? _______________ Brother to Luke Skywalker and (SKX) Dark Blade

[joke question] is this game going to be UCLA? [joke question] a question about sabering. Many places have said that you can choose to have either the original one saber, two single sabers, or a double bladed saber (like Exar Kun or Maul). I am assuming that each one has its advantages and disadvantages, (because everyone would find out which is strongest and only use that one...). My question is this. Would you be able to mix and match? IE, if you have two single bladed sabers, could you choose only to use one? And the same with the double bladed saber, could you, in effect, create it so that it is two single bladed sabers that come together somehow? Or use one side (as Maul does against Qui-Gon-Jin in their first fight), or, If it gets cut in half, using both blades as double single bladed sabers? _______________ When you become an actor, you become the person, and you dont act anymore.

How will the saber styles work, will they be balanced, if so how, if not which will be stronger _______________ 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#??" |

Well Arucss, I don't know what to say except thank you for your efforts. Here is my question. "By picking out certain missions your character goes on and completes. Does the specific mission you take and complete affect what will happen in the future of the game?" If anyone can reword that better go ahead.

I have two questions about single-player: "Will our character model affect the game? Like, will some guys you meet in a level be more friendly to you if you have a female model?" And: "Is this a game where we can choose what to say if we talk to people? If so, will some people like you more if you have a friendly personality?" |

nice one arc my questions are: "many people have said that using the q3 engine again was a mistake as it is too limited. How drastically have you modified the engine to make it competitive with other new FPS games that have brand new engine designed for them?" "You probably won't be able to answer this but its worth a try What new force powers and weapons have been added ? If you can't go into detail, are there any weapons of force pwoers from previous JK knight series games ?""What is the storyline for the game ? Have you come up with an original idea to break away from the "bad guy tries to rule galaxy" plot?" Theres probably lots more important stuff to ask but thats all I can think of now. _______________ Apprenctice of Jedi Master Ascari (deceased) Descended from a line of great Jedi Will argue any point of view from any side

Arcuss I LOVE YOU. Ok folks we'll pick the best 10 or so questions we see posted here. These questions can range from serious to technical to humorous to whatever. All we ask is you keep it respectful. Inciteful and interesting questions are welcome though Here's mine: "Admit it. You heard of the Jedi Academy here and just HAD to make a game about us. ""I'm intrigued about the roleplay aspect in character creation in the single player game. Will the single player characters we create carry on to the multiplayer part of the game?" _______________ My car is made of Nerf. |
