Well...although not Jedi Knight 4...there is Star Wars Battlefront in development...
This is pretty much Battlefield 1942...with a Star Wars shell...

You get do urm do stuff like missions (i think)

Quote:
Star Wars Battlefront gives you the chance to play as a soldier in intense multiplayer battles with up to 32 people. Choose your allegiance and pick a soldier from one of four different armies. Fight on ten legendary planets and use a variety of weapons and vehicles, including X-wings, snowspeeders and AT-ST’s. Keep your wits about you and victory may be within your reach. Experience the chaos of battle as you fight the greatest wars in the Star Wars universe.


And you have sabers and guns..
You use vehicles...
Looks intresting :D

Controlling the movements of your saber with a joystick (right hand), and controlling movements of the body, and everything else, with the left hand.
The left hand controller wouldn't be a keybourd, but a mouse, turned into a very small keyboard. So you can move it around while pressing the buttons on top of it! :)

EDIT:
By very small keyboard, I didnt mean a tiny little keyboard, I meant smaller keyboard, with less keys;).

Returning to original topic... I would not expect anything else from Raven for a looong time. Sure, keep discussing it, but don't build any excitement or eagerness for it... you might be fooling yourself. ;)

Raven should make saberfights more cinematic. You know, controlling your parries and attacks and such.

"Before reaching Knighthood, all Jedi make a sacrifice. It is not required by the Master, nor is it a part of the Jedi Code to do so. It happens naturally. A sacrifice which shows your dedication to the Force, and to a new life, based on selflessness. This may be someone close to you, that you come to realize you must let go of in order to follow your path. It may be a certain addiction, or passion for something that would inhibit your abilities. It is not necesarilly your choice as to what you give up, and it is also a mile stone at which will decide your destiny. Choose wisely, and may the Force be with you."

How about using two saber staves? :D

Everyone talks about how you can throw saber and block at the same time in JA, but you can't, why not make that so in the next game?

Using a saber and a gun at the same time would be cool. And block blaster shots with your hand Vader style.

And while I'm at it: the ability to grip items and throw them at bad guys.

Yep I agree:
- new characters.
- new MP-skins.
- new sounds.
- new sabers.
- new styles.
- new/improved levels/graphics
(they're good now, but not excellent YET)
- Levels are now ALMOST the same:
Jaden with saber and guns. . . .
So, I think, well, I WISH that in a next Jedi
Knight-game you'll have the possibilitly to
find a ship and go to another planet, or like
in Episode II, that you must chase someone. . .

Yeah but then you can't shoot (not very well anyway :P), as you'd have one hand on joystick, another on keyboard meaning you have to shoot with joystick, no thanx :) For people who only use saber still a little tricky, as looking around and swinging at same time would be hell :D

I'd like to see JK4 have a joystick in the retail box... using your joystick to fight with the saber! Now THAT's duelling.

Think you guys are getting your hopes up a little :)

Obviously both the new Jedi Knight games (refering to JKII and JA :D) were never going to be as popular as say CS due to the target market but from a success point of view, they didn't really do too well :(

Think of JKII when it came out, people complaining, 2 patches released and then raven abandoning the community since it was no longer worth the effort.

This gives a bad impression for JA, and what happens, its hyped up again (though not as much as its quite soon after JKII) and its a total dissapointment (even the people that love it still have bad things to say about it, which in my view means it was a failure)

To cut a long story short, I think raven have finally learnt from their mistakes and won't be releasing another Jedi Knight game for at least 2 years and if they do decide to make one I hope they don't use gameplay stuff from JA as a base for ideas or I for one will be VERY dissapointed, but hey its only me, what do I know ?

I have a feeling that the next Jedi Knight game would return the story back to the Katarn's as the whole Darkforces series is based around Kyle, and there for would not follow on from JA directly, it was also hinted at by one of the raven staff that the next game would be following Kyle and Jan's son.

Due to the fact that JA's full title is Jedi Knight : Jedi Academy, and like i said befor the Darkforces series follows the Katarn's i think the next game will prob be JK3 and JA's more like Vice city ie outside of the games time line.

Well thats my opinion.

With all the fans out there I would be suprised if there wouldn't be another JK game. I think they're waiting for a greater engine with more capabilities. And they probably let this new JK4 wait some time. They did release JO and JA with not much time in between. Or am I wrong? Anyway there's a foundation for another game and unless Lucasarts is forced to cease producing games (which isn't going to happen) I'm very positive that JK4 will be here within the next few years.

What they need to do in JK4 is make arcade style saber fighting, and realistic saber fighting. that all they need to do=)

If there's a JK:JA2 then it would probably continue the adventures of the f00l Jaden!
omg l31k omg
Well, light side has a pretty ending-ish ending, except for when Kyle said that there's a whole world of danger out there, and asking Jaden if s/he wanted to do more missions, so I guess LSide would have an ending.
Dark Side, of course, looks like it would be continued. I mean, before I saw Jaden in the ship, when Kyle said things like he would deal with Jaden, I thought there would be at least one more level, but, well, you know.

I think they should use the nine "Forms" of lightsaber combat described in at least one book I've read.

An we already have 100 models because of all the nice modders and skinners out there.

What they need to do is instead of just having fast, medium, and slow stances, they should have styles. These styles would be like Katana, Chinese long sword, fencing, ect... And each of these styles would have its own fast, medium, and slow stances. At least that would make the game alot more interesting to me.

I am very sure it will be on a much larger scale than we are used to. I hope Lucasarts get rid of Raven Software, they are really not talented in my opinion. They modify a Quake3 Engine for this and this game series deserves BETTER. The physics are way too smooth which is typical of a Q3 Engine so you cant be THAT precise.

I love JO and JA but thats because i am a SW fan and love saber fighting.

In Jedi Knight 4 i hope for online roleplaying, 100 models to choose from (everyone online these days look the same) and really put more advanced action into the saber.

Thats my opinion :P

By Jedi Academy 2, I take it you mean Jedi Knight 4

Yes, perhaps...
since this game still seems to be very popular.

So perhaps, but I can't be sure
