Hey,
I'm new here but not new to Jazz Jackrabbit. I got hooked with the original game's shareware long ago. It wasn't until 1998 when Jazz 2 came out that I decided to buy it, and it came with Jazz CD too. I also downloaded the HH 94 and 95, and lucky me, I found HH 98 for only 1 cent! 1 Canadian cent! I love the series and characters. I think it really sucks that the Jazz 3 project died (atleast for now I hope), just because GOD games or no other publishers would publish it. The Jazz series isn't ready to be canned. Except for holiday versions, and better, more featured Europe versions of Jazz 2, there has basically only been the two games. I think the potential of a 3D Jazz game is so great. If they made it for PCs and put it on consoles too (as well as a GameBoy Advance 2D Jazz game), the audience could grow much larger. Why do the publishers stay away?
We could help email publishers about it. The thing about it being in 3D though, is it's very important to do it properly which can be hard. I can think of several console games that was popular in 2D and ruined in 3D. If it's done right, a 3D Jazz would REALLY (/) (-). I imagine it would be like Fur Fighters, but there should also be a way to see the character from any angle while running around (in Fur Fighters you're stuck looking at the character's back, but it makes aiming easy). The PC market is so limited these days. All we get is shoot em ups and isometric strategy games. Remember what happened with Duke Nukem? That used to only be 2D and only on the PC as well, and once Duke Nukem 3D came out, the series went to consoles as well (though it seems like it moved to consoles entirely). Jazz, Spaz and I assume Lori are such great characters (I have not played TSF or CC), and the gameplay is fun, and the animation is superb. No, I will NOT let them kill the series because of lack of funds and wussy publishers! Jazz must continue!
Anyhow, I also want to ask what just happened? When I found this site, the background was white, and there was a Jazz Jackrabbit 2 logo complete with our fave green bunny and coloured letters. Now it's black, and no more cool logo...
Well, I don't want to overstay my welcome. I think I left enough for you to chew on for now. I'll check back soon. I'm so glad there's so many Jazz fans and a great forum just for the series! Let's annoy the developers to create the game already!
