And what's up with Project 3 Interactive? Did they change their number from 2 to 3 or something? Do you think these guys would be able to make a good Jazz sequel? I haven't heard about this company before. Where are the creators of Jazz 1 and 2? Are they still with Epic? What is Arjan, Nick and Dean up to these days? Why has Epic abandoned Jazz 2? It's not all THAT old. 1998 is kind of old, but why have they already abandoned it?
It's just not right for Epic to hold on to the rights, but not support the game's fans anymore and not create a new patch or provide the sourcecode. I know the game wasn't very successful, but Epic has to support their customers or it can give them a bad image, and if they lose our interest we may not buy some of their products. I know I don't care about Unreal 2 unless it's REALLY something. FPS are too similar as it is. Why don't they support the Jazz licence and audience or sell it to someone? Someone who will be faithful to the series AND to the fans! It's not just because I'm a fan, but I think Jazz 3 could really be profitable if they make it right and advertise it properly. It could be similiar to Fur Fighters, but even better!
Come on, let's bug Epic and Project 3, and maybe even GodGames.

GodGames doesn't WANT to publish it cause they lost money on JJ2 Nadine. Project 3 can't do anything because EPic is being nasty with the rights. Epic has abandoned everything except Unreal because it's their big cash cow. DROP IT, we're not gonna get it. Arjan is working on stuff at LostBoys, Nick I dunno, Dean no longer has interest and doesn't like being pestered.
It IS right for Epic to not give out the sourcecode because THEY HOLD THE RIGHTS TO THE GAME ENGINE AND GAME!!! Many companies no longer provide support for old games and no longer provide updates eg: Worms Armageddon doesn't work on XP, but Team 17 hasn't provided any patch. THey don't give away the license cause they DON'T WANT TO. Most gamers like lots of violence at least the majority does, and that's what the publishers will support - Jazz will never be about violence and thus won't get support. And Unreal 2, though you may not care for it, is one of THE most anticipated titles - guaranteed to make them money. PLEASE, I'm getting tired of these threads, jsut drop the matter.
