  1. If we had a JKO/JKA game with the next gen engines today, it would be TFU all over again, button smash combos and no free style movements, no awesome saber system like we have it today

    But who says a next gen engine would be used? Discovering the plans for Jk:Ja today would possibly shed new light on the unreal engine and it's possibilites.

    TFU was released in 2009.  So sitting behind a desk at LucasArts thinking about JK:JA would most likely not be about copying TFU, but about creating a better JKO.

  2. Jedi Academy was powered by the same game engine as its predecessor, Jedi Outcast , released in 2002 (Quake III: Team Arena game engine)
    How different would Jedi Academy look like if it was released in 2014? If it was made because of the announced plans for a sequel trilogy to the films.
     

    So imagine, discovering the plans for a "Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy" game in 2014

    • Would Kyle Katarn be in the game? If so, would he be the leading character?
    • Would Luke Skywalker be in the game? Would he be the leader of the Jedi Academy?
    • Would Han Solo actually appear in the game instead of just the Millennium Falcon?
    • Instead of Tavion returning, could there be a cyborg Desann as the main villain?

    Think about it :)

  3. Ireland was used as a shooting place a month ago or so - I guess it's some sort of a new planet with greeny rocks and ocean,

    but bear in mind, the shooting took place for 2-3 days, so we will see one scene only perhaps...

     

    One of the spoilers on Underworld site it that this location is used to show Mon Calamari homeworld

    Planet Mon Cala( also known as Dac)

     

    SW expands beyond the movies and I never knew of this planet, however I get the idea that its a mix of Gungan and Bespin-underwater.

    That kind of environment is best created on green screen, inside a studio. Then again, I heard JJ Abrams prefers real settings over CGi.

     

    Green hills, huge rock formations + CGi and movie props =

    • Dagobah
    • Yavin
    • Naboo
    • Mon Cala/ Dac

      Either that part of the image is photoshopped or they might be using cardboard cutouts - look at the shadows.

    Link to the video @NumberWan mentioned.

    If they will be shooting outside those hangars, then we're probably looking at Yavin or Naboo.
    Here's another aerial image of the site, you can see on the right side the falcon and xwing from the earlier

    More news about this rumor (spoiler) http://screencrush.com/star-wars-episode-7-set-photos-luke-skywalker-heads-to-skellig-island/

  5. sooo, I just tried the game of thrones game, the first level is Castle Black but it looks totaly different , like bigger and more buildings.

    some things do look the same so maybe it is worthy afterall of checking out (first level is castle black)

    Games are always more or less different than movies. Just like the map I'm working on.

     

    Cool @AshuraDX

     

     

  6. Mostly covered in snow, unlike in the series I know, but since this won't be a perfect copy of the setting, it shouldn't matter.
    Some floortextures will have the looks as if there was snow there but it's been tramped a lot. But I will do that some other day.
    Also to be more specific about the map: It will be a snowy evening with cold blue moonlight lighting the whole area from above.

    I have watched 4 seasons of the series and I'm tired of waiting for that winter, so I'll create my version of a freezing HQ of misfits.

    Right now I'm trying to create a new, sparkly freezy snow texture. I'm not satisfied with how the map looks so far ingame, so no screenies yet.
    Oh and I noticed the grindstone model is .ASE ? how can I use that? it doesn't show on the models list

     

  7. Well since you did a fantastic job reskinning that grind stone that @Boothand so kindly created (thanks again)
    I think it would be a good idea to use more textures created by you, in this map. I definetly like what I see so far.

    Everyones participation will ofcourse be noted once the project is finished and you've both made my life a lot easier.

    Thank you.

    Well  I took some good screencaptures and decided to create some interior aswel,  to the building on the right that has snowy roof,
    I will make the dining area.  The whole map is starting to take shape.
    I've been looking at Game of Thrones episodes, and images found on
    Google to learn about the Castel Black, this wont be perfect but I'm trying my best. Just imagine amazing textures and few models to add detail.

    This artistic view is what I'm aiming at - night time map with snowfall and torches.
