Guess not then.

Umm question.... Im playing Jedi Knight 1 again and I'm stuck on the fifth level... the one before the Imperial Palace. i totally forgot what to do...

A new jedi knight game retaining the good lightsaber content and such of the originals running on a modern first person shooter engine would be incredible.

Another idea, the jedi knight series on ipod touch and iphone, with low graphics setting for jko and jka, they would all run beautifully and if the controls were done right they would be quite amazing

Lol. They are completely different. How can one compare these two series anyway? It's like comparing Battlefront to Jedi Power Battles because you control Jedi in both. Wile that is true, being able to play a Jedi is only a small part of BF so saying that is an understatement.

The same thing applies to Jedi Knight and TFU. JK games are so much more than "just" playing a jedi. They offer fun in many different ways. TFU does not.

And JK is not a hack and slash game.

So the fact you get a gun in JK means its completely different? Take the gun away and JK is a hack n slash.

Pretend for a moment the that a new JK game is out right now along with TFU. Some one walks up to you and asks "I want to play a game where I can play as a jedi, what do you suggest?" why are you going to tell him/her to buy the new JK game?

I don't count Kotor because its a rules-based RPG.

Do not for one second try to argue that JK and TFU have fundamentally different lightsaber mechanics because they don't. They are both action games with lightsabers, force powers, and are in the third-person perspective.(at least during saber combat)

Listen, if you think that on some fundamental level these games are completely different, more power to ya. I hope they decide to make another.

So, how would bringing back Jedi Knight be any different than TFU? Because aside from the timeline and main character they are pretty much the same. Basically TFU destroyed any chance(likely none) of the JK series returning.

Lightsaber simulation? like the JK series? I actually don't have a clue as to what you are arguing for?
I would say, a return of Kyle Katarn minus the whole jedi thing would be a fresh idea.

Aside from the story and characters how would you differentiate between a new JK game and TFU?

No, it hasn't, at least as far as Star Wars is concerned. You think that being a jedi is somehow lacking is Star Wars games?

There is a JK4, its called The Force unleashed...kidding. Seriously, the jedi thing has been done to death. The universe of Starwars has much more to offer than the Jedi experience. A reboot of the original Dark Forces would be a far better option.

This thread is for discussion about any of the Jedi Knight games that LucasArts has already released. If you want a new Jedi Knight game then please use the following thread in the LucasArts General Discussion forum.

Come and vote about JK4

Thanks!

P.S. It's actually been about 7 years since the last JK game. IIRC JK: Jedi Academy was released in 2003.

Face it. It's Time To Bring back Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II, Mysteries of the Sith, & DroidWorks Bundle onto XBox 360 & PS3 Console Systems!

Just look at the success of updated Perfect Dark HD and Duke Nukem 3D and the like! with updated graphics and game performance tweaks, I'm sure this would be a hit again - especially with online multiplayer!
