New Jedi Knight Game Rumors

[setlec]

i would prefer that they would stick with id tech 4/5 instead of the Bulimia resource engine as UE3 is. And also i wish to see a native linux version of any future Star Wars game...

[-=*Raz0r*=-]

Developing a high-end product on Linux is not a suitable goal for any developer. End of =p

[setlec]

says who? ETQW has a linux version also Doom series, quake series... UT series for the exception of UT3... OilRush has too they are all high-end products...

[-=*Raz0r*=-]

Native Linux clients, or servers?
Server is usually easy and common enough (As quite a few dedicated servers run a nix variant) but the market-share for clients is just not worth the effort in today's fast-moving game industry.

i'm talking about native linux clients...

[-=*Raz0r*=-]

Lucky them, I guess =p my point still stands, trying to port an 'advanced' game to Linux in crunch time for the minority of your market isn't something many companies are willing to risk or spend money on.
Then comes bug crunching, marketing, sustaining/updating..

Sure it's been done, from time to time, but I don't think either of us would have high hopes if we had some figures/graphs/statistics of the reality.

[Zwier Zak]

We can all hope the primary use of the engine will be a JK game. I would hope so but knowing my luck they will just make something useless with it.

[setlec]

Razor those minority market are so untrue.... but i won't start a useless discussion, i'm already got bored of this BS crap. No offense intended!

Anyway UE3 is crap as an game engine too much problems and bugs within the src code and cost quite to much for it's worth... ST: the old republic is using this game engine. I don't think that there will be a next JK at all.

[XycaleTh]

The Old Republic is using the Hero engine. UE3 isn't suited for an MMO.

I now have hope for a jedi knight 4 some day. One of the top 3 games that would get me to buy a console / portable is now in development. Megaman legends 3 and I can't wait to see that game.

Now I'm just waiting on lucas arts / raven to make jedi knight 4 and activision to make vigilante 3. (vigilante arcade doesn't count since it's a remake of the 1st game)

I still play jedi academy everyday. I play in the esl leaguehttp://www.esl.eu/eu/jkja/login/validate#/eu/jkja/player/2676498/. I do not want this game to die, or if it does. I want Jedi Knight 4 to come out. Lucas Arts would miss out on so much revenue if they don't produce the next one. If that company wants to stay alive, they will stop beating around the bush and push this game to come out. Also ja+ is the killer of jedi academy.

Haha if there is one coming soon... A very original idea I think though personally I want another RPG.
