"btw why does every one talk crazy language?" - Atlast

JEEBUS IS LARD! NOW FI><0RS!!! dog.

I made a post way earlier about my theory...we all say Jazz looks younger, and I brought up the idea that perhaps this is Jazz Jackrabbit the 2nd. I mean, at the end of Jazz2, Jazz and Eva get married, why couldn't this new looking Jazz be their offspring? And maybe Dark Shell is some remote relation to Devan. Or maybe the characters suck. They need to release more information.

Yeah.

I kind of already brought up that idea twice. Maybe you should read the whole topic first =P

To clear something up:
What I mean is, they wanted to create a Jazz game. They didn't want to copy JJ2 or JJ1. I agree, they could've done so without the changes, but they didn't. So live with it. Nagging gets no where.

FYI I am doing everything in my power to make sure that Jazz returns in his full glory sometime in the near future.

Hard to say if it will happen, the business is very tricky and very fickle.

Needless to say Noogy and I are working together.

The big problem is that the market is, in fact, extremely tricky and fickle. Not many big publishers would be interested in producing a game that has unknown sales, which is why Jazz 3 was cancelled in the first place. There are plenty of dedicated people on board, it's just that there are a lot of potential money problems.

With enough marketing, a good amount of money, and some nice ol' fashoned propaganda (man I love spreading that stuff), anything can be successful.

True, but there's always the problem that we must have something to spread propaganda (which is fun to do) for. Even if we got many people, it might still be hard finding JJ GBA. I like Paul's idea especially, because it may increase the stores stocking it and the amount they have in stock.

Ow come on! Haven't you earned enough money with all that "Unreal" stuff already?

There's got to be more to Jazz than this.

They still have profit from UT2K3, there's Unreal 2, Unreal Warfare eventually, and the engine licensing...

But yes I agree: More Jazz! :P

I think Epic should not make anymore Jazz. Or license any more Jazz. This is just hurting the game.

They should give the rights of the character to Arjan. However, I think that if Arjan will be building a new Jazz game. He will start making the biggest mistake possible. And destroy the concept. He would probably make it 3D.

Bah.. 3D.. the horror..

Risks

Company's that don't take risks don't get anywhere. Just look at Animal Crossing. It was a huge risk, and it paid off.

I agree. 2D is good but 3D is better. Think of all the possibilities about how could the 3D levels look like!

What Overlord said. Even RPG companies are turning to 3D. Blizzard, Black Isle, Bioware. And let me tell you, once a company goes 3D, it don't go back.

To sum it up in 4 words: 3D is the future.

Jazz in 3D just isn't Jazz. Taking the step to 3D has destroyed so many other old platformers..

And besides, I get all dizzy and get a headache when I play 3D games.

Platformers

Yes, many games have not handled the switch from 2-D well at all. I can only think of one company that has done it every time. So think of it this way, what if Jazz does make the switch to 3-D perfectly.

Serious, another Jazz PC game in 2D won't make it.
They would lose money on it again, and Jazz would be killed.

What about seeing the things we DON'T like in Jazz2?
You can't have a real "storyline" in JJ2.
AND,I would just LOVE it if I could IMPROVE Jazz and Spaz using expreience points and stuff!
Have you ever seen those features in a 2D game?
Jazz3 was the coolest when it existed,there!

You can make a nice story line in jj2, you just have to make it well up. Take "Another Story" as example.

I know Another Story!=P
But it didn't turn out too well...
You were attacked by enemies who in that story are your allies for a while,and there are other flaws,too...
I just mean Jazz's just not made for having stroylines!='

I am pretty sure there wasn't any money lost on Jazz2. And I also think that there are a lot of gamers who have loved 2D games, and still will.

Also kids will be intrested.

Translation: I have no idea how to make JJ2 levels with a storyline, so I'll blame it on JJ2 instead of myself.



Anyway, everyone said Jazz couldn't do any more in 2D, and look at this Advance game. The enemies seem to have some major artificial intelligence, and there's probably something else I'm forgetting. Sonic had lots of 2D games that were all basically exactly the same, and they did fine.

2-d vs. 3-d

2-D can do more then you think. People just look past it because 3-D is much cooler looking. I would prefer a Third Person Shooter... though I can't remember the last one I played. Jazz as a FPS? Never.

No, no FPS. That's more something for characters like mario Hitman and his buddies.

But Jazz3 in 3D was fine the way it was in the demo. I personally prefer 3D over 2D; I really like the idea of being able to walk in every direction like in real life. It literally adds a new dimension to the game. Plus, 3D levels have much more possiblities as 2D.

I also agree to Piccolo: Another Story was great but it didn't have really interesting gameplay. You were just walking from level to level and there wasn't really "action". It looked awesome anyway

Remember, these are just my opinions.

Hey,I DO know it!
But it ISN'T MADE FOR IT!
There could for example be something to make videos for inbetween and stuff...
I'm currently making such an episode,and IF I AT LAST FIND SOME MOTIVATION I could make a whole revolution in story-lines in JJ2...*sigh*

There was lost money on Jazz2, that is one of the problems why Jazz3 was stopped.

How come the game had huge losses while it received alot of awards and also was prized for best game of the year, etc. You could say it was a best-seller...

Que Passa!!!!

Well, I may have given up hope on Jazz and finally desided that I am not going to buy it unless it's in the bargin bin, but I just wanted to say:

I like "Another story". It beat me to it(I was going to make something similar except designed for cooperative play, named "Jazz and Spaz's bogus journey."... Yes, after "Bill and Ted's bogus journey"- Jazz and Spaz die at the hands of Devan and fight to get another chance at life.).

Oh well, in that case I guess I'll just stick to Jazz2. Or go play another game. This is not worth it.
