Petzi Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 https://www.humblebundle.com/ I just checked and about 10 servers show up on the game's server browser, which is odd. That didn't stop our beloved classic from being included in Humble Bundle, though! Hopefully the Master server will be revived really quickly, otherwise the potential new players won't be browsing a many of servers. Link to comment
Syko Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 JKA might be a lot more active now with that Humble Bundle!This bundle is actually pretty good. I haven't bought a bundle in ages. A lot of the latest ones have sucked, quite frankly. I think the last one I actually bought was the one with Batman Arkham Asylum which was like at least 6 months ago.I also finally own a legal copy of JKA... Link to comment
Futuza Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I also finally own a legal copy of JKA...Lol. I originally owned a copy, but I no longer have the install discs...so... Link to comment
Syko Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Lol. I originally owned a copy, but I no longer have the install discs...so... So... you are going to buy the Humble Bundle legal copy. Or did you...no... you couldn't have... Link to comment
Futuza Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 So... you are going to buy the Humble Bundle legal copy. Or did you...no... you couldn't have... I did buy it, but I got it since I don't have Battlefront or Kotor2. Link to comment

afi Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 It's pretty sick how many new people own JKA now Btw, the steam forums could be a chance now to bring some new people to the hub Link to comment

Syko Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 There's so many people playing JKA now. I looked at the server list and it said 500 people were playing. Just a couple of weeks ago when the master server was down there were only like 2 or 3 populated servers with like 6 people on each. Futuza likes this Link to comment
Vulcan Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Our server (EFF) crashed during the day because there were so many people on it It was quite a party though, but we haven't had a full server in months. So we owe humble some lol.Btw for us modders, there will be a lot more people looking up to us now xD Futuza likes this Link to comment
afi Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 People still buy this after 11 years, but LucasArts (Disney) refuses to make a new JK. WHY Link to comment

Futuza Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 This would only make sense if they actually worked on a new JKA more serious reason is because they are a) Waiting for Starwars 7 b) Waiting for Battlefront 3 c) Its stupid to have 2 Starwars games competing with themselves.

Ramikad Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 People still buy this after 11 years, but LucasArts (Disney) refuses to make a new JK. WHY I'm fine with that. I can't imagine a new Jedi Knight game in this age to be similar (gameplay wise) to Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy - that is, NO Force Abusing, NO lighting-fast swings, NO cutscene-like duels, NO uninspired characters. Sure, I'd welcome a better engine, but I'm not sure if that's worth the price. Link to comment

A new JK would probably be more like TFU or Battlefront than the old Jedi Knights. I'm 100% sure the saber combat would be horrible. And I'm not even sure if it's still possible to create SW-games that are non-canon (and only the movies are canon now). Ping likes this Link to comment
Circa Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 It'll happen, I'm sure. Eventually. Link to comment
Ping Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 Pretty much what has been said: A new JK game would inevitably be mediocre at best. But on another note, are there any plans to ride the player explosion wave and widely advertise the hub (or ctf, mb2, anything) on steam/ingame? DT. likes this Link to comment
