It's been too long since a new Jedi Knight game nor a new KOTOR for that matter. Does anybody know of any good Star Wars mods made recently so I can satisfy my craving for some lightsaber action?!?

    You need LEGO StarWars.
    Blocky lightsabre action for some, little american flags for others.

    Isn't that Wii game from the Killer7 guy supposed to use a lightsaber?

    Outside of that I got nothing.

    Are there any Jedi Knight games in the works? I loved those games, but haven't heard anything. It's been quite some time since JK2.

    Lego Star Wars 2 is great - played it on the break and finished it. I found it pretty easy, but some great replay value.

    If you're looking for mods, I'd suggest Lucasfiles. There are probably better sites out there, but that's where I spent most of my mod searching days. I don't know of any new ones off hand, but there are some fun ones out there. I have vague recollections of "Ladder" and "Meat grinder" being fun.

    Wasn't Jedi Academy released after that? There's also some "next gen" SW title in the works, IGN has a video of it.

    They should make a Star Wars game for the Wii. Holy hell that would be awesome!

    Do like bullet time stuff (some Jedi power bs) and allow you to manually block incoming blaster shots! Damn, I need a tissue just thinking about that!

    YOU'RE BEAKING MY DREAMS, MAN! :cry:

    How much of a hand does Lucas have in the games anyway? Jedi Outcast and Academy were fine games (if somewhat leaning too much toward acrobatic lightsaber combat instead of movie-style swordplay for my liking), and SWG was, as far as I'm aware, SOE's own fault.

    I think a Wii lightsaber game would get old, quickly.

    Also, what are the capabilities for Wii controls being 1:1? afaik Red Steel said it was not fun at all when they tried it/couldn't be implemented properly.

    Basically, I'm wishing a Kotor3 would come out, except like in the next gen realm and with stunning visuals.

    Everyones favorite button on the original kotor was 'Y', and we all know why.

    Everywhere you fuckin ran in Kotor you had to ignite your sabers with Y. I mean everywhere I went. And when they were already out it spun them and made the cool mwoommm mwoommmm sound.

    Best part of the game imo

    LucasArts hasn't forgotten about KotOR3, and we'll be getting the third installment eventually. At best, though, we're looking at '08-'09.

    Edit: source. I had a thread about this a while ago.


    Good to know this thing is still 'open', though really, Bioware did it better, and i know the second one was rushed, but aside from that i think the first was still superior. Bioware are on some insane roll now of superb games. I dont think they have a bad game to their name.

    I think I remember seeing art for either that or Dead Alliance. It basically involved a Jedi increasing the size of their lightsaber so much they tore an AT-AT in half longways.

    Empire at War has an expansion where they just tack on some bullshit smuggler's alliance type faction. What the hell? Nobody who hasn't read the books knows or cares about that, either, and anyone who has knows NOT to care about it. Vong would be so easy to do. I'm guessing the real reason would be that it'd probably just be to weird/adult. Oh well.

    Thnig is, in KoTOR, it's so far in the past that they can basically do what they want. The Vong, however, are basically pretty different from the enemies that were seen in Star Wars before. I think they don't want to alienate people who'd just go "Who're these fucks, and why're they kicking Luke's ass?".

    Yeah, but that felt a little much like fanservice. A scout ship made it here so many years before the fleet did? And I thought scouts were relatively recent in the Prequel era, according to the book about Zonoma Sokat (I can't spell) and Outbound Flight.

    But Luke's still quite vital in the Vong war time frame. Older, yes, but everyone is, and Star Wars has tech that lets people live far longer than us, with a longer prime in their life. Han's definitely past his, but as a Jedi, Luke has that tech AND the ability to draw off the Force.

    They've had games starring Boba Fett and Wedge. Even games with those stupid clone troopers. What would be the big deal about making a Jacen and Jayna game or something? Just pretend that they've just been made up and people would buy it. I'd play anything. A godamn RPG even.

    I fucking love I, Jedi, and the entire X-Wing series. I enjoy stories that AREN'T Jedi-centric a lot more.
