EvilMike Jun 23, 2001 08:00 PM

I was wondering, is the game going to be sold in stores, or online? Or will it be freeware? Shareware? Can we use Canadain money? I can't stand it anymore. i NeEd To KnOw!!!!!



*explodes*



Alright, I WAS exaggerating just a *bit*.... but those questions have been in my head for quite a while. And plus I hate ordering stuff online.

Kaz Jun 23, 2001 10:33 PM

Will it cost us to play online?

Electric Ir Jun 24, 2001 09:47 AM

That would be pathetic.. [img]http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]


Newspaz Jun 24, 2001 09:53 AM

Probably both. They want to ship it to stores. So it will probably also be sold online like about all games.

MetalWarrior Jun 24, 2001 10:56 AM

Yes, I'd like to know that myself... ;)



We'll see. It's not the first time this topic's come up :)

EvilMike Jun 24, 2001 11:00 AM

Pay-to-play is just plain evil. And not the kind of evil I am.

Newspaz Jun 24, 2001 01:06 PM

Pay to play is a quite good way to stop people without a full version playing online.



But I dont think anyone wants to put extra money in a platform game just to play online..



Hrrmmhb Possum.. Smell's good. Man I can't wait to play this game. Give it to me, give it ! I don't care if it's an alpha, beta or whatever crappy version it is..


MetalWarrior Jun 24, 2001 03:15 PM

I meant the thing with it in stores or shareware or whatnot... there definitely wouldn't be any fee to play online. Only a few publishers are silly enough to risk that, and usually only with MMOGs.

Newspaz Jul 1, 2001 06:43 AM

You won't get it. Want to know why?..



BECAUSE POKEY SAID SO !!!!!

KRSplat Jul 1, 2001 10:58 AM

Can I publicize this forum so we can get people interested in Possum so they'll want to buy it?

KRSplat Jul 1, 2001 11:00 AM

Or even better, publicize the Archive (now an artifact[img]http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]) from JMMB that started possum?

Kaz Jul 1, 2001 05:21 PM

Hmm, Dark ages and Everquest do that but that's RPG so... yeah.



The thing that'll really tick you off is that you have to buy everquest at the store, then pay to play it.

EvilMike Jul 1, 2001 10:57 PM

I am hoping Neverwinter Nights won't be pay-to-play.

Stijn Jul 9, 2001 12:51 AM

Whoo.



1. Who's Pokey?

2. Pay-to-Play is something for silly publishers like the people who don't want to publish JJ3

3. To protect internetplay-possum from shareware ppl, just don't include the internet play option in the shareware



That were my nonsense tips. Slap them.

Electric Ir Jul 10, 2001 06:45 AM

1. Pokey is Pokey the penguin, known with his broccoli. [img]http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]



2. I agree.



3. That is a good idea, but it holds people from buying the game. It might be okay if, just like in Jazz Jackrabbit, there is just one little demo level in Battle Mode. Then people go think "Well, this game is good, even the battle mode rules, I wonder if there are any more modes?"



Might sound stupid, but can contain a fact.




EvilMike Jul 10, 2001 10:30 PM

Plus the FV will have a level editor and people will also be able to create mods for the game. (not music files, modifications, as in new weapons or enimies)

SlaYer Jul 20, 2001 02:39 AM

if it will be in the stores, i think it will have a very limited crowd.

KRSplat Jul 21, 2001 09:25 AM

Ok. What you do, is put an ad on that says, "from the people who play a game by the makers of Unreal." That last part will get just about everyone's attention.



Exept mine.

SteelTalon Jul 22, 2001 09:00 PM

I have lots of good reasons why this should be freeware (and most likely will be) but instead of saying them |_33+/\/\45+3R will do a little dance.



See?



Gotta love it.





Dino Jul 23, 2001 10:26 AM

Let's set something straight: it's not going to be freeware under any circumstances.

MetalWarrior Jul 24, 2001 05:46 AM

Well said. I agree heartily. :)

Roaster Jul 30, 2001 05:18 AM

Sellouts. :P

MetalWarrior Jul 30, 2001 08:33 AM

...sellout? who?



I missed the meaning of that completely.

Hareoic Jul 30, 2001 10:41 AM

I don't wanna pay to play! JAZZ 2 WILL NEVER DIE!

Electric Ir Aug 10, 2001 01:49 AM

It will, sometime.

Possum will live on.

KRSplat Aug 12, 2001 04:57 PM

Jazz isnt dead. Not as long as we have hope. Maybe theres another community in some other place with millions of players? And they have theyre own version called something else but its still jj2? And theve madejj10 maybe? Or not. Ithink its the or not. But.. ya never know... (but you usually do)

Electric Ir Aug 14, 2001 01:15 AM

Umm, I don't think that could be true, because most of us has searched on Jazz Jackrabbit before in a search engine (e.g. Google, a good one) and never found something like that, I bet.


SteelTalon Aug 14, 2001 11:31 AM

KRSplat: I bet you believe in martians and that kind of stuff too. ;P



Not freeware? Even more evilness. This thing better be pretty darn good if I'm gonna shell out money for a *gasp* 2-D 0|_|)5|<00|_

platformer. =P



Oh yeah, good luck finding a publisher. ;P

KRSplat Aug 14, 2001 06:11 PM

not martians. too close *P <--- a martian [img]http://jazz2.nagcentral.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif[/img]
