Forget the new mechanics. What pisses me off is that after all this time, it's the same story. The. Same. Story. It's been 13 years, and the world has changed so much that you could have done a "ripped from headlines" game. You couldn't even be bothered to rip off one of the old mods, like Urban Chaos. There's nothing about this that makes me want to spend money. I hope this game at least succeeds in creating a new generation of JA fans, but I'll just reboot the original JA2.
There should be an option to change the 3D portraits into the old ones ( Like in Starcraft 2 , only they're still shots ) I like the plan& go and I'll probably buy it but plz, do change those portraits.
bitcomposer please push the release date more further and make it with 2 modes "realtime" and "turnbased" and you will get more customers. me included
What a disgraceful piece of shit. Even the trailer has horrible voice acting, no turn-based(action points are nowhere to be found), horrible 3d portraits, animations look blocky, and full of explosions to appeal to the kiddo FPS-fans. If you rape my childhood, I'm going to go Fidel on your arses.
Are you sure it won't be turn based? I mean, the bits at 0.32, 0.34 or 0.48, with the possible paths in green, they look like a turn based game to me. The other parts are simply not from combat mode, like in JA2
If you pause at the AIM screen you can clearly see that almost every face is just a copy&paste version with some added special like Static has the head band. Totally ruins the great personalities the old games had for each character. This game will suck because obviously BitComposer have put no time or money into the development. If you look at a video from half a year back, there were a lot of main features missing. This game will be a buggy mess and a disgrace for the name Jagged Alliance.
what have they done to the portraits? they look like some monkey got a hold of an 3d-program. they better should have invested 50 bucks and let some student from an art school do the character portraits. everything he could came up with would be better than this!
@lildiscostu Seriously. The original JA portraits look better than this shit. I'm just glad to see they aren't scrapping all the original characters. Maybe they will get the hint and add in classic turn based mode. I doubt they will but it would be nice.
People have to realize that times are changing. Nothing is going to be exactly the same thing. Look at Fallout 3 to the original first 2 games. Look at Tribes Ascend to the original games. The list goes on.
I'm not writing this game off yet. Besides, if I wanted to play JA2, then I would play JA2 plus the variety of mods...
I say that even if it's not turn based, we should give the developers a chance... (though most of us would like at least an option when starting a new game that says "old style play") - it's just a thought :)
If you go on the website they claim it is turned based. I think after everyone complained about it not being turn based they went back to the development stage and instead of releasing the game in oct 2011 it's set for feb 2012.
@derfmanet They made what they are best at in their common games, and that is silly and cartoonish looking characters made all out from the same default face.
it's must be a joke, no turn based mode = no jagged alliance, what do you think, who's gonna play with this real time shit? the hardcore jagged fans won't they hate it from the beginning...you won't make new fans for the game either, cause except the hc fans nobody's waiting for this game
I really want to have a word with the dumbass that came up with this incredible idea to sell the JA rights to a bunch of amateurs called NoobComposers.
I mean, as you said, nobody except for the HC community will even consider buying this game from the start. And NoobComposers literally backstabbed this community so i'd say, let them go bankrupt! No money from me.
It think its a lot more realistic and interesting... and fun.
So, stop being a butt-hurt faggot and go try the demo. (Also, the game is currently bugged to shit and the current patch out features a game-breaking bug, so if you are going to buy, wait for a while.)
No round system, no money from me. I decided to play JA2 again, and the only thing i could think of change is the graphics. Perfect gameplay, voice, music. A new campaign would be nice either. But don´t mess with the round based system! Or whathever, mess it up and blow the series away. Dumb asses
i agree that P&G sucks big time and this game will fail! A disgrace towards the JA franchise! BitComposers dont have the moral rights to alter this classic game in such a manner that its becoming 2012's biggest joke!
/off
HOMM also sucks ever since UbiSoft took over. Same accounts for the Settlers series (except for Settlers 2 3D). Ubisoft equals NoobComposers equals horse doodoo
Jea! i love Jagged Alliance! and now a part more! I looking so forward! Along Time to roll out a new part but thank you that there is a new part! Jagged Alliance lives for ever ! :-)
Nice to finally have a new Jagged Alliance release. I would have preferred a completely new campaign, though, but this will do if the gameplay is fun and voice actors decent.
I agree the portraits should be worked on, otherwise no complaints about the graphics. I noticed the characters were listed alphabetically; hopefully there will be more sorting options like by cost with/without equipments. Seeing a hit accurance% would also be a good feature if not implemented. Good luck with the release!
i hope it wont fail like brigade e5 and 7.62 where it goes to hell when a firefight starts since a hit has many factors like stopping your action, bleed, shock or just die since the enemy just swarm at you. remember guns are lethal in jagged alliance, a level 9 merc can still be killed in 1 shot, healing wounds takes days. no medic skill means 1 bullet would could kill you. but right now, i ll just wait and see.
@ErzetDEMOn I hope its a "work in progress" ting, because really its not hard to make decent portraits! You dont even need to randomize it, just make 30 permanent ones.
AT the very least they should make it as easily moddable as possible!

I am sad to say (and I am not the only one) this game will end up exactly like Brigade e5 and 7.62.
You can see it in this trailer.
Furthermore the graphics, especially the cut scenes and the intro itself suck ballz.
I also agree with many the pictures of the mercenaries are terrible especially for a game to be released in the year 2012.
Where did you people ever learn to work with animation and graphics ?
The original faces from years ago are so much better.
This game will die a sad death.
