Slaughter Posted January 24, 2007 Report Share Posted January 24, 2007 Strategy First cancelled the contract with GFI to develop Jagged Alliance 3 and 3D some time ago (story). While Strategy First started working on a new Jagged Alliance 3 with Akella (story), GFI will complete JAZZ: Hired Guns and release it in Q1 2007. You can read the full story at Gamer's Hell. Thanks for the heads up EppuTheHeppu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoMik Posted January 25, 2007 Report Share Posted January 25, 2007 Ok, in this game, there should be some "untrendish" micro-management. At least so I've heard. - Creating buildings, defendlines, militia, 4 squads, own railways, facilities, mines, diplomancies and stuff... If true, then I'm more than ready for them... wohoo... kgrhn... but I'm an old fart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophocles Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 If they manage to pull this one off then I can only say one thing. Bye bye JA3 (you tried our patience long enough)Welcome JAZZ (although the title sounds kind of weird) :-) :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Gringo Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 It reminds me of B.A. Baracus' line:Hannibal is on the jazz!Otherwise it is a bit odd title....JAZZ: Hired Guns....It just doesn't sound right. Too bad SOF, Soldier of Fortune, Mercenaries or MERC all are taken. Private Military Company or PMC are just too farfetched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoMik Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 My tb-freak-friends here in Finskala are little bit worried about the "Rusnglish" in this game... and I... have yo admit that I'm too. (I don't have good English but) JAZZ remains me my ex-girlfriend's crazy-lunatic cat and "Hired Guns" make no sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knan Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 "Hired Guns" is fair english. Doesn't anyone remember the strange Amiga game anymore? (1993, Psygnosis) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoMik Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Okay, thanks. I just checked from dictionary and it really means "assasin, bodyguard, trouble solver". Live and learn (to check first). So, is it actually a historical western term for "pistol hero"? How do I have missed it even I have watched so much spaghetti westerns... and again and again. In Finnish, there isn't a word "hired gun". So, it sounds to me like "Do I need to rent a gun? Why I can't just buy it?" It really sounds like that handgun what was "given" to me by army, or was I a hired gun... ouch! In previous post I actually meant that I wouldn't feel free to be hired in unlinear game... in JA2 I didn't, even it was started that way. So, hmm... there "is" already a game called Hired Guns. Even it's a part name but... oh, np. I don't care. About that fair English in games: Etherlords II (Nival) is a good example to me. I noted that there were odd English but it didn't bothered me a lot while playing. Yes, some card's descreptions I didn't understood at all but maybe my bäd English helped a little bit and gave me patience. My friends whom I tried to get come along to have a nice multiplayer match, told me that they can't play the game because its English gave them headache. I liked that game and it was a good idea for a game but... ok, it was their problem, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Gringo Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Hehe.A shop concept: 'Rent-a-gun' Now you can rent your firearms at your local gundealership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sophocles Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 "Hired Guns" is fair english. Doesn't anyone remember the strange Amiga game anymore? (1993, Psygnosis) You are refering to the one that split the screen in four? I loved it. A;though it could get frustrating at times.Space hulk ventured in a similar venuebut I cannot remember which one was first Hired guns or Space hulk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knan Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 That's the one, yeah. It came out pretty much simultaneously with Space Hulk, or at least in the same year. Both games were far too difficult for me, but the coolness factor was pretty high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baby arm Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Here's a batch of JAZZ screenshots. They're not much different from the older JA3D ones except for the interface and the non-JA character portraits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FullAuto Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Must admit, it's looking good. It's definitely JA, license revoked or no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
