List of Lucasarts canceled games; includes Jedi Knight 3

[eezstreet]

 

Don't know how many people knew this, but Jedi Knight III was apparently planned, and Jedi Master was a spinoff series that eventually came to be The Force Unleashed.

 

Unknown source, appears to be a book of some kind. Possibly a retrospective of Lucasarts.

 

UPDATE: Source appears to be legitimate, here is a link to the book.

 

UPDATE 2, @@Fighter, could you change the name of this topic to "List of Lucasarts canceled games; includes Jedi Knight 3"

[RebelChum]

Some of those looks like a cancellation would have been the best outcome. "Jedi Rebel" or "Rebel Jedi"? Great titles... just jam any Star Wars title terminology you can on there, amirite?

[Kannos'v Lightdust]

Jedi Knight III.... Why, oh whyy :C

 

 

 

BTW: Jedi Knight III and Jedi Outlaw = same logo?

[eezstreet]

BTW: Jedi Knight III and Jedi Outlaw = same logo?

yea i dunno. Maybe they were the same game at some point? (Jedi Knight III: Jedi Outlaw?)

[Stoiss]

there was from some years ago idd planed a new jedi knight game i remember there was a news titel of it on lucasart site from many years ago but it got pull down fast

[Acrobat]

The jediknight\darkforces series was always excellent because they had the best FPS engines of their day. I would have loved to have seen jk3 on a crytek 3 engine. That's the first engine I've seen that really shocked me as of late at least on it's higher settings.

 

Jedi Engine=dark forces engine developed by lucasarts

 

Sith Engine=jk1 engine made by lucasarts

 

jk2\jka= quake 3 engine by ID

[Unifermius]

I like the idea that the quality of a game logo can decide whether or not they will actually develop a game for said logo.

 

Having said that ... I find it difficult to distinguish which of these could have actually been titles for games at the drawing board stage from those which were probably just creative exercises on the part of Lucasarts employees.

[Ory'Hara]

lol, technically, they shoulda named it jediknight 4, cause the hints are all around that jka is jk3, like the name of the masterservers for jka, lol

 

masterjk3.ravensoft.com, hehe.

[Stoiss]

somthing i would like to see is the gameplay of a ealy wip of the game, mostly they make a ealy gameplay of the game there has been thinking about and then show of it is okay or not

maybe ask kickstarter devp for make one of the titels

[minilogoguy18]

I would like a continuation of the JK series picking up after JO and completely ignoring JA's terrible story. People complain mostly about Rosh but Kyle in JA bugs me just as much since he's NOTHING like Kyle from the other DF/JK games. Also, where the F is Jan?

[katanamaru]

Inb4 making Kyle a sandwich.

 

I don't think they can/should ignore JA's story. It could be a neat idea to see what else was going on at the same time as JA. A smuggler story revolving around Jan could be neat.

[unoservix]

i just want to know what "Rebel Scum" was supposed to be about.

[Circa]

Star Wars Episode VII: Shadows of the Sith?

 

Huh?

 

 

Underworld sounds like an epic game. Probably was going to revolve around Black Sun or something.

[Botdra]

Doesn't seem legit to me, but if it is it seems disorganized...?

Either way, this makes me sad.

It's legit, see the link below (it's from a book which has a foreword by George Lucas and was written by an ex-LA employee)

[Jango40]

i just want to know what "Rebel Scum" was supposed to be about.

Me too. Maybe some low budget crap, or a nice game about being an Imperial officer?

[TheWhitePhoenix]

 

That basically explains my reaction.

[minilogoguy18]

Underworld probably went along to become 1313 since it was about boba fett in the coruscant lower levels.

My thoughts exactly. It has a nicer ring to it than 1313 however.

[Setlec]

truly this is a big shame that LA didn't make more games by it's own instead of licensing their titles to 3rd party studios. sure that bioware did a great job for KOTOR but  they did make TFU and it was good, TFU2 was bad unfortunately. being consoles port to pc didn't help LA that much. 1313 had a nice story line and good gfx, haven't tested the game nor seen how it was played since i can't afford to go to the E3 or GDCs events. If only they did give a small damn to their fans maybe they would have make better games.

 

Anyway hope that the next EA games for Star Wars won't fail us.

[minilogoguy18]

I disagree completely, I wasn't upset like many when LA shut down, the best star wars games were made when 3rd party developers did the work, this series is one of them.

 

TFU wasn't good, it had good graphics but that only counts for 5% of what makes a game fun, story, gameplay and most of all replay value are WAY more important.

[Sentra]

TFU was quite interesting. And I agree about this: 'I wasn't upset like many when LA shut down'.

Wanna see the 'Dark Jedi' title :c

[eezstreet]

LA getting shut down was good news to me, mostly because I figured that the source release might happen (and it did), and we would see great new titles from third party developers (which has also happened). If you consider the B-grade crap that LA has been shoveling out lately (Star Wars Kinect and TFU 2), it's not hard to miss anything when that was their future.

I predict that once the new movies come out, we will see a very aggressive push by Disney to get more third party developers (not just EA) on board.

[katanamaru]

The only bad thing with LucasArts closing was the loss of the adventure titles. Not to me personally though. I never cared for them, but lots of people did.

[Sentra]

@katanamaru, Pardon my french, but f#ck them (titles). We are going to see BF3, finally, from DICE!
