Jedi Knight III: Jedi Academy
Jedi Academy Website
Hey all. Just thought I'd get you guys know that this is coming out soon. ^_^ It's obviously the sequel to Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, in which you follow Kyle Katarn through a series of linear New Republic timeline-based missions. JKII won best weapon on G-Phoria (for those of you who get that station and can stand watching it for any length of time) for it's Lightsaber, and Jedi Academy is choosing the lightsaber to focus on. This time around you are able to customize your own cadet from numerous SW Universe alien races for induction into Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy. Craft your own lightsaber and follow either lightside or darkside paths as you traverse through the free-form missions of the game that will bring you to locales like Hoth, Tatooine, and of course Yavin 4 where the Academy itself is located. Ligtsaber combat this time around has been even further refined from JKII, and you will be able to fight in scenes on par with movie duels (or in many cases actually surpassing those!) in 'cool' factor. Choosing from the double-bladed lightsaber (ala Darth Maul) or even Dual Sabers (Anakin from AotC) you can hack your way through Sith cultists, enraged Tusken Raiders, even a Rancor, with the smoothest graphics in a Star Wars game to date. *laughs* Oy.. You'd think I WORKED for LucasArts. Anyhow, enjoy all. Mark off here if you get the game, we can cross sabers sometime.

I dunno about this game. From the sounds of it, it sounds like a copy of Kotor only with more freedom in the combat system.

Jedi Knight II was out long before Knights of the Old Republic, Snake. This is just a souped-up sequel with more emphasis on the lightsaber combat. Actual combat, mind you, not BioWare's turnbased "spectator" combat system.
And the Jedi Knight series was out long before the Knights of the Old Republic game or even the Xbox was even concieved. Why don't you go download the demo from the official site, try it out. Try the dual sabers or the saberstaff and go up against some sith cultists, actually fighting with the sabers and performing acrobatic moves like the best movie coreography. Beats the hell out of anything BioWare puts out, even Knights of the Old Republic. Plus it's set in the New Republic timeline, which rules even harder.

hmm... the most recent Jedi game wasn't really that interesting if you ask me. It was ok, but I don't buy into the whole "wow its star wars" thing, and it seemed only a bit more exciting than... well Unreal 2. And thats about exciting as amputation.
and LucasArts should really stop adding bits on to their titles. Essentially, they may as well have called the game: "Dark Forces V: Jedi Knight III: Jedi Outcast II: Jedi Academy"

Personally I'm in it for the great modding community and the multiplayer Jedi Knight battles. "Siege" sounds awesome.
And I agree with you about the titles! *laughs* I downloaded the demo and each aspect had a trademark after it. STAR WARS (tm) JEDI KNIGHT (TM) JEDI ACADEMY (TM) !!! (R) Off-topic, Artist, have you gotten the Homeworld 2 demo? It's great!

But on the bright side, Its great that you've checked it out ... i'm pretty sure that HW2 will be a critically acclaimed game (90% in the UK PC Gamer already... it would've got more but as its not controversial to say that its good, they didn't mark it up. Just to prove this, they don't even give a single point against it, yet mark it short of most other games.), but one of those ones that everyone just passes by, leaving a teeny niche community to play the damned thing. Now buy HW1 and Catacylsm.

I've been burning it onto CD's and handing it to my cable-less friends over here. Maybe you could find someone similarly blessed and borrow their connection for a while.
And I've already gotten HW1! *laughs* About halfway through it. The interface is a little hairy compared to the demo of HW2, but the story and missions are great. ^_^

If this is not a PS2 game why is it not under other consoles? I was confused at first and was hoping that the fact the thread was here meant that the game would be coming to my favorite console. Blah! It seems Lucas Arts likes to avoid putting any of the Star Wars titles that are worth anybody's time on the good ol' PS2.
_RED_ stuff
