When Jagged Alliance 4?

[Rücklicht]

Already played through the whole game 3 times. Searched every sector enjoyed all quest lines. But I´m wondering can we get closer to the OG JA2 feel with fitting calibers etc. in the next part? We can´t stop without getting Trevor and maybe another setting.

You should try the Silent Storm series, or Brigade E5 if you want more JA2-inspired games. Fun fact: those games also had Shaun Lyng (the original writer for JA2) working on them. Sadly, he didn't come back for JA3...

JA4 is probably quite some time away (i.e. years, if at all).

Honestly, your best bet in the mid-term will either be DLC for JA3 or folks who mod new campaigns (V1.5 just unleashed a lot of modding tools).

Sasha Grey??? I may have heard about her. I’m innocent! But seriously, I'm glad to see that she appears to have turned over a new leaf, even introducing new things to us like OpenAI's Sora. And agreed. It's both kind of scary and amazing at the same time how fast AI is growing.

Haha, Sasha Grey is in JA3, you can use photo mode to take selfie with her in Pentagruel.

Anyone remember what came after JA1? Deadly Games was like playing Ai generated game. The missions were generated by Ai. The maps were variations of the same bunch of maps; but imagine if Ai is now able to generate new maps?

Deadly Games was nobody's favourite, and even then, it's better than it would have been if the maps, story, voices, etc. were generated by AI. Do you actually want to play an AI-generated Jagged Alliance? Have you ever played an AI-generated game?

umm, no. OP was asking stupid question, i was just playing along. I thought posting about Sasha Grey gave that away :p

This. Now, has anyone started on anything yet? Hope to see new maps months from now.

I've been looking at new modding tools. Campaign, Map, and Quest editors. Granted I've not modded a game in near 20 years... slow going... The modding tools are very powerful, but complex. Full new campaign with new maps and quests will probably require a team of modders. That said modding options are extensive, cutscenes, cinematics, environmental changes lot of possibilities.

Wow, it’s great to know that the tools are powerful and that there is interest! Is there any way that non-technical people can help?

As playtesters at some point.

But it's going to be a while before we see anything campaign sized or flavored. More likely folks will be converting crudely put together mods (before tools existed) into more robust a and flexible ones using the new tools.

So get used to Grand Chien. It will be the batting practice the modders use to truly change the game.

You will see DLC first. It will be quite a few years until JA 4.

But thank god it was successful enough that we still get support and we can talk about a potential sequel and DLC. It took a LONG TIME before they were able to make a good JA game after JA 2
