This was at the time were every game had to be 3D. It wasn't until a few years ago that they found out that there's nothing wrong with 2D gameplay with New Super Mario Bros, Street Fighter 4 etc. Now the new Rayman, Sonic etc games are all 2D. So this would be an ideal time for a new (downloadable?) Jazz Jackrabbit game. Especially with the awesome multiplayer.
@ChineseGadgets Damn right, every franchise of my childhood is coming back, so I wanna see Jazz coming back as well. If not in a new game, at least in some hd remix with new levels.
jj2 will always be best. making it 3d takes away the fun motoin. and the graphics r bad. this game was never supposed to made 3d. it is very fun 3d but i dont like it. and its just singleplayer.
is there a reason why my PC, which has a 2 core processor and a 1GB video card, + 4GB RAM Runs this game on like, 1 Frame per second? and that's after changing the Render Device to D3D and other enhancements too. it's probably because i run Windows 7, but i applied the compatibilty thing and it didnt work. what can i do?
@ethai1 easiest method is delete JAZZ3D.ini and execute Jazz3d.exe, the driver setup screen appears, you choose the bottom option - Software Rendering. Or you may want to manually edit the present ini - overwrite the first line under [Engine.Engine] with GameRenderDevice=SoftDrv.SoftwareRenderDevice
Actually, Jazz Jackrabbit in 3D is a great idea. I think if they re-did this today, it'll be just as good as Spyro, or Jack and Daxter or something. *SIGH* Today it's all about Call of Duty, Battlefield & Gears of War! URGHHH
@BootboyJohnny I completely disagree. I mean, JJ1 and 2 were super awesome, JJ2 is the best game ever in my opinion (because it's so damn epic, I mean, turtles with christmas lights/hats), but this is one of those games, just like sonic, who just can't make it in 3D. But if Epic Games creates a new JJ in 2D, I'll definately buy it.

I hate they made good 2d games 3d >.< Same happened with megaman x6 that game was really annoying and THEN they make a 3d megaman x <.< megaman x7 sucks its so bad as 3d
I played this thing to death, even though it was never finished and there were definitely some problems with the controls. It would have been a nice game, had they any chance to finish it.
and it was probably impossible to top JJ2 anyway. if they made another 2D version people would probably say: its not as good as JJ2 and its practically a lesser version. now people will say 'its not as good as JJ2 but at least it is something new'.
i think this game would of been good......it looks a hell of a lot better then what else was out on the time on the n64 and psx.........i think the finished version would of been good.......not as good as the first 2 but it still would of held its own in the world of 3d platforming at the time
@ShadowMetalBowser64 Have you ever looked at a Coke bottle Lid? "Caution Compressed Air" "Screw Lid Anti clockwise to Open" << their is also an arrow showing the user witch way is anti clockwise.
@spongesonic1 it was a PC game ... 1, since Jazz was like a mascot for the PC games as Sonic and Mario are to Sega and Nintendo. and 2, N64 doesnt have a mouse 0:19
@siasiekw Of course both had great 2 demenison design not to mention, good animation...especially when you leave jazz alone and he takes out a carrot to eat.. lol i think he's related to bugs.
This looks pretty good! The character movements, however, look kinda weird. I'm sure that, If they ever remade it into the new consoles (Especially PS2 and Wii: Such a stupid thing that they are only making games for the PS3...) it would look amazing *-*
lol @ all the people saying this game sucks when it's an unreleased ALPHA "proof of concept" build. someone a number of years ago still had a couple CDs and ended up uploading them to the internet, if they hadn't done that none of the whiners would have known it ever existed. Also, as for the way it looks, this game was being worked on around Rayman 2 & Megaman Legends etc, since those games were made with roughly the same technology don't say jazz3 looked like ass, it's just incomplete 1999 gfx
I just can't picture Jazz Jackrabbit working well as a third person shooter... Both of the other games were fantastic, but this one looks kinda... meh.
@JackOfen on an episode of G4 Cliffy.b said he would like to make jazz3 with jazz getting into trouble with the turtle mafia but, he can't find a developer or publisher to make it and everyone at EPIC GAMES IS TO BUSy with other games.
i can't believe people calling this a bad game... do they not realize it wasn't finished? it wasn't even close. oh but i forgot about fanboys. they'll NEVER be pleased and that's the only reason people make generalizations about 3d sonic games. adventure and adventure 2 weren't bad--chances are this wouldn't have been bad either.
Uhm, I actually have to say that if the weapons were buffed up a bit and if the project would have gotten to the professional stage, it could have been pretty good. jazz was easy to manouver and the cameras were ok.
Jj3 could have gone on to become a sort of MDK style game, and who doesn't like MDK?
Granted the existing version of the game is far from MDKish, but the devil is in the details and you don't have details at this stage of gamedesign.
@ZeeM Well this was the alpha demo to entice the publishers to endorse it. You guys are acting like it's the full version that could have been. Stop comparing an internal demo to a full game.
