a word to the not so wise, JK3 ISNT jedi knight 3, its jedi academy. think of it as a stand alone add on pack. Jedi Knight 3 is yet to be started on and will probably be done on the Doom 3 engine - w00t!!!

My list in no specific order:

Knights of the old Republic
Half-Life 2
Men of Valor: Vietnam
Max Payne 2
S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
Vietcong: First Alpha
Deus Ex 2
Playboy: The Mansion
Driver 3
Silent Hill 3
Far Cry
Call of Duty
The Return of the King
Commandos 3

Aaaahhh ! Way to many !

Anyway, there´s also a nice game coming out for you FF, namely Fear Factor: Unleashed

Post Mon Sep 08, 2003 12:07 pm

@Eraser: I think Fear FActor would be great game too.
@Arcon: Normally I would agree, but Jedi Academy is the third (maybe more) in the series and its standalone game (in QIII engine) not a add-on.

It is a bit of a wierd one that, I actually don't class it as a new game cause the engine is identical (except for some very minor bits and pieces) to Outcast (which is a modified Q3 engine not THE Q3 engine). But then on the other hand it's not an add-on pack either (which it should have been).
And then on a third hand if it does deserve a number, it shouldn't really be JK3 but Dark Forces 4. But that all really depends on whether LucasArts considers Dark Forces a different series in which case it would be Jedi Knight 2 as the original Jedi Knight was Dark Forces 2.
Hands up if your confused.

@White, i AM right. i DO know the series: Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Mysteries of the Sith, Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy.
I KNOW the game is stand alone, i KNOW raven is selling it as a stand alone game, but in respects to technology, changes, etc. its synonymous with add on packs. 90% of the game is a direct copy-paste job from JK2, theres just new levels, new force powers, new characters. Kenn Hoekstra (PR guy for Raven) told the community that this is NOT jk3 though.
Want clarity, check out the JK community, a community i am a proud participant in for years with my website over at gamespy: The Jedi Sanctuary (Disclaimer: the site is under MASSIVE repairs, so nothing but the frontpage works at present, the full site is being changed in the next week or so)

Wait, has anyone seen the new Need for Speed thats coming out Spring? It looks soooo smooth! And sounds sooooo cool! Drag racing, upgrading, body messing, VROOM VROOM!!!!!

A game after me? didn't know about that. I smell a big fat lawsuit settlement now where's my lawyer's number? gonna sue their ass off. Free beer for everyone if I win

Post Mon Sep 08, 2003 10:30 pm

I'm surprised that so far nobody seems to have mentioned Sam & Max 2. The first game in ten years that might be able to hold a candle to DoTT (Day of the Tentacle) ... Ego/tactic shooters are a dime a dozen nowadays, and whether Stalker, Doom 3 and Halflife 2 will be able to survive their own hype remains to be seen.

P.S. @ Fear Factor: ISTR there is a new EU ruling whereby only certain wines actually originating from some Portuguese province or other are allowed to be labelled as 'port'. So you may want to change your title or prepare to hand another batch of hefty fees to your hordes of lawyers.

Re: Jedi Academy

Think of it like Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, or Final Fantasy X-2. It's a side story.

If you went on the basis of its engine, you'd have to call DOOM 2, Quake 2, and a whole bunch of other crap "stand-alone add-ons".

It's a side story, guys, not an add-on. If anything should convince you that it's not an add-on, it should be the price tag.

@arcon - some on there are comp games and nintendo just owns you all. sure you have ur ps2 and xbox and sure nintendo has a small library of games but what it lacks in quantity it sure makes up in quality. Metroid Prime and F-Zero GX have some kickass graphics. Not to mention soul caliber 2 on gamecube.

@heretic: hey, dont get me wrong, i love nintendo, i love their commitment to quality and rarely churn out a sub standard game, i was just making an observation is all.

@Bhurak: YES, i KNOW its not an add on pack. its a side story, but i like to think of it as an add on pack so i dont feel like ive been cheated by lucasarts. the game COULD have been an add on pack. & doom 2 & quake 2 had their own new engines anyway so what are you on about
