Darth Ronin Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Jedi knights. I believe this community is very small. And it is very hard to become bigger. Seeing as JkJa is an old game now. Don't you think as a community we should write to the developers of jkja to make a new jk game with the same cuts and strikes moves just improved. I think the community would get bigger and we would have more supporters . What do you all think? Smoo likes this Link to comment
eezstreet Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Thread moved to Jedi Knight General Discussion I think that it's been petitioned before and it never happened. Nevermind the fact that the developers of Jedi Academy (Raven Software/Activision) don't have the rights to produce a Star Wars game (EA does). Darth Sion and Lancelot like this Link to comment
Darth Sion Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Furthermore, the likelihood of EA planning a reboot or a new Jedi Knight game isn't likely to happen. Certainly not anytime for the foreseeable future, at least. Especially with all the IP's they showed off, in development at E3, this year. If you wanna write to EA and ask them what you're asking for, then go ahead, but I wouldn't hold your breath.Hence why Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy are now modded beyond the game's capacity.

Darth Ronin Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 We should try to petition for it again or at least try something. We can't just give up. There has to be something we can do. There's always a way. We should try to petition for it again or at least try something. We can't just give up. There has to be something we can do.

Circa Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 You can't petition to Raven. They have no say in making a new JK game whatsoever, and they're not an EA studio, they're Activision. Petition to Disney and/or Lucasfilm. They're the ones that tell EA what to do. But it won't be Raven making the game if it gets accepted.

Darth Ronin Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Well that's what I mean. Let's write them so maybe Ea can make a kickass game. let's do it the more ppl the better right? We can all have our voices heard. Link to comment
Boothand Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 I'm pretty sure this is not how this 'works'. This is what we have modding for (something you btw can't expect in any potential new EA JK game. This engine is still one of the best for modding!). These games all have some pretty niche gameplay, and the big-time developers are afraid of committing to something like that. You'd have better luck petitioning to the community to make something fan-made, or inspiring some smaller game company, but we all know that usually doesn't make it out the door. Closest thing is probably the MBII in Unreal Engine thing. Lancelot, Darth Sion, MagSul and 2 others like this Link to comment
Darth Ronin Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 Well then I guess mods will just have to do. I think it's stupid that they don't make another game just like it. I mean it was so good and alot of ppl played it when it came out. They just needa make another kick ass star wars game Link to comment
afi Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 A new JK game would suck anyway. Would probably be some kind of TFU bullshit minilogoguy18, JediBantha, Darth Sion and 2 others like this Link to comment
minilogoguy18 Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 You're wasting your time, this has been talked about for the past 5-10 years, it's not going to happen. With games being so visually driven now a days anyway the gameplay would probably be terrible and it wouldn't have any sort of modding ability. Link to comment
TheWhitePhoenix Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 A new JK game would suck anyway. Would probably be some kind of TFU bullshitGranted to a degree, TFU is moddable. But a current day JKA? As much as I would love that, with EA at the helm, it's not gonna be anything good and it's gonna be unfriendly to modders. Link to comment

And Fallout 4 is the latest moddable game, so...I'd say we're NOT dead yet. Link to comment
ensiform Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Apples and oranges and still applies what I said about Bethesda games. Even valve has moved away from modding more so than the little bit they allowed in the past. Link to comment

And Fallout 4 is the latest moddable game, so...I'd say we're NOT dead yet.They took many decisions on Fallout 4 which make it less moddable than the previous entry in the series. Notably: a voiced main character and restricted dialog system. I think this is a dumb argument though. Mods are going to happen regardless of whether a company gives support for it. Minecraft didn't get official mod support until after mods existed for the game, and all of Blizzard's games have had mods without any official support. The most recent game to get mods without having support? No Man's Sky, released just last month. My point is, the type of game is what makes for more mods. RPGs, RTSes, survival games and multiplayer FPSes are more prone to get mods. Tower defense, puzzle, and linear FPSes are not suitable games for mods. Link to comment

Acrobat Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 i know just the engine for it too! (and it has strafing) Smoo and Jango40 like this Link to comment
ensiform Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 The saber engine :-P Sadly idtech is poor for strafing these days. Plus the amount of time saber interactive would have had to learn tech 6 would be way too much in hours and $. Smoo likes this Link to comment
Acrobat Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 Why? The only reason jk2 and jka were good were because they used quake 3 engine (the best engine). idk why you would want to change. JaceSolarisVIII likes this Link to comment
ensiform Posted September 15, 2016 Share Posted September 15, 2016 You just pointed us to the quake champions video which is powered by the saber engine in conjunction with some idtech added but not a lot. Link to comment
