And if it does well we're more likely to get Jazz games. Decisions, decisions.
(But I claim the second page)

Somebody said before that if game flops maybe Epic WON'T give us the source code because they'll start to think we don't care Jazz anymore. Think and decide. Personally I think JazzA is a good game, even if it has drifted a bit from the series.

I disagree.

I think if the game flops and Epic thinks there is less interest in Jazz then they are more likely to allow Arjan to give us the source code. If they can't make money off of the franchise, then why hold back anything from the fans that are left?

Jazz 2 is nearly 5 years old. In gaming terms, that's a fairly long time. Jazz 2 came 4 years after Jazz 1. What market is there for a green bunny shooting things up? A very small one. Esp. for a 2D character. Jazz will forever be a platform hero, and if he was transferred to 3D he would lose a certain...Jazz-like quality...or something.

Well it's 6 am so I doubt I'm making any sense. I'm just saying that it's highly unlikely there will be any new Jazz games, so why not get the source code for this one and expand it? Jazz 2 is more or less the best 2D platform adventure game I've ever seen, but nowadays most people are more worried about getting to see blood in a 3d environment. Source code. That's my stance.

There are many different player personalities...
I don't blame anybody who doesn't agreee with me in this, but I really would like to play Jazz in 3D. Rayman went to 3D. Prince of Persia went to 3D. Sonic went to 3D. Why Jazz has to stay 2D forever? That makes him far behind. Almost every not RTS or RPG game has it's 3D sequel (Pac-man, Frogger, even Tetris) and Jazz has got nothing more than textured sky. Maybe source code WOULD be good goodie but I really don't want Jazz to die. You see, now is our chance. We have been waiting 4 years for it. And we can lose that chance if we will think so negative. Do you really want Jazz to dissapear in game bussiness for price of the source code? This is a very small future sight that you have in your minds. I don't recall that Jazz can go in different way than you want (like UT went to colorful matches) but we can get used to it. Sonic visited many game modes and I don't remember Sonic fans to fight against new Sonic games. Please think what you are going into. Or the future of Jazz can go ruined.

The source code is owned by Lost Boys. It won't be given to us as long as Lost Boys still has titles in development using the engine. Epic has as little to do with it as the artwork, and the characters.

So I don't think they'll be much of a problem in the future. Since we will probably not edit the characters, but fix the game up.

I just got Jazz GBA today. It looks great on the handheld. THe box has a lot of white on the sides and stuff. It certainly doesnt look the same way as other GBA boxes...

Also, if you want to read and see if Jazz divorced Eva in the instruction booklet...theres no story on any page, just tells you how to turn it on, the controls and the pick-ups....very very small booklet...

However, I am yet to play Single Pak multi with a friend, he couldnt find his GBA, so my impressions will have to come later...

Yeah, its cool.
Although lvl 5, my batteries ran out and I had to redo it all again.
EEk, its cool, I wish there was a PC version of it with internet play, that would be fun!
