LoboNocturno

I know its still too early to ask for but my question is if the project Jagged Alliance 3 will go very well (on PC & Console later on) or even further than expected will be there a additional part like JA Unfinished Business or even the project Jagged Alliance 4 after a couple of years ? (Please dont wait us again for 20 plus years ...!!!) But seriously are they thoughts already about something like that ? for a Jagged Alliance 3 sequel ? In my opinion once Jagged Alliance 3 goes greater then i expected i would surely want to play a part 4 as a hardcore Jagged Alliance fan, next time with some more improvements and it could take maybe around 2010s or even 2020s, most mercs got older (with some lower stats in some areas but higher experience level) or even retired ones. This time maybe somewhere in a fictional Asian, European or in a South American country. Would be very cool indeed. Will be playing Jagged Alliance 3 inch to inch anyway for multiple times still i archive all.

I think may from summer to autumm 2023 it will come.

Finally great to read the first dev diary that we waited ever since. I do agree with most whats writing in here like about the shooting ballistics, game mechanics etc... Hope we will get a good near to realistic combat feeling that will have each time a different exciting outcome. My other thoughts are mainly about cosmetics, like the portraits in game are static as we got used in the previous main games (even in JA1 a game way 30 years ago) were lively, which was giving us a very nice emotion feeling, whenever they were shot, wounded etc... or by dead the skull would show up, hopefully this will be also in JA3. Also some of the characters look has nothing to do with battlefield (not saying every merc should have directly a military look) but at least a lil more suitable look, also to the environment (Grand Chien a African country with mainly hot and humid tropical climate). From all characters so far i like the outfit of Fauda most, Fidel as well (may without his jacket it would be a lil better). So am hoping at least with some customization we can give them a better battlefield look, the different variety of helmets, vests and backpacks should show (if not at all, please try to give us alternative looks as well for each characters, i dont mind even as DLC). Others then the recruitable 40 mercs from AIM or MERC there should be also several other playable characters that we will meet in Gran Chien as RPCs. Less but not least, i know this will hopefully in the combat topic next, if we will also have some named enemies like mid bosses, it would give to the game even a greater flavor and some wild animals as well its a must imo. Gracias still next time....

Sounds very good to me, hopefully there will be some named mid boss battles in some sectors.

I mentioned about this in some other topics before, of course if the gear such different kind of vests, helmets, masks, backpacks could appear it would be way more realistic without a question, we should have a lil option to customise our mercs in appearances. Still hoping they will bring it so at least the helmets, vests and backpacks can appear you know they would never ever look like the same.

Hey guys lets add eachother up on Stream, can find me as LoboNocturno.

Too bad though they didn't shown anything about JA3, at least few footages from gameplay but anyway hopefully they are working very hard on it to satisfy us to the fullest. Company Of Heroes ? Is a larger profile game eeeh ? Never ever heard of it in my whole life. 😂

Hahah could be true, thats why i play only Jagged Alliance as turn based game and played XCom 1 & 2 as well of boredom which is pretty much the most popular turn based game of modern gaming but didnt like it that much, i like to a turn based game with realistic weapons and fight against human enemies. The aliens in XCom are looking way too childish imo, if there were cooler type of aliens like the Predator or so i may like it more. Also checked some reviews and gameplay of Silent Storm as some mentioned it was a good game but i dont know i also didnt liked it, you are in WW2 (like in Commandos, never liked Commandos either). Jagged Alliance is by far the best turn based game period imo.

If the total show goes for 80 - 90 mins which means they will show each game around 5 to 10 mins max. Waiting for more footage and info about JA3. The rest of the games doesnt interest me at all.

I was really thinking hard about Dell XPS 15 2022 but with good specs its almost around 3000 $, guess i will be going finally for the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 2022, its around 1900 $ and almost the same specs and the ROG G14 is safer for some gaming as it does not heat up much like the Dell XPS. Also more robust design, the Dell XPS looks glamorous but looks too fragile somehow (lightly builded), the ROG 2022 has more plug ins which is also a plus.

Am sure there will be some more sectors than just we are seeing in the Grand Chien map, there will be several more sectors in the basement level and possibly there will be basement level 1 and 2 as well just like we had in Jagged Alliance 2. When there will be mines there will be surely also other secret sectors. Maybe a hiding underground prison or research center?

Yes indeed, am still hoping that they will make changes on the appearances and that we will be able to wear different kind of helmets, vests, backpacks etc that will also appear on our characters. They should also think & look again about some mercs outfits, like some are either nothing to do with battlefield look or are wearing strange clothes that doesn't suit into the hot tropical climate, yes i said it 100 times already but again having Ivan with a WW2 Soviet uniform with his ushanka doesnt fit in at all. You could keep his pic with his Ushanka just on his profile pic (and yes the profile pics in game should be lively so we can see their emotions on their face with some mimics and when they die there should come a skull pic just like in the original JA2.) God damn we are in hot tropical Africa so please try to suit their looks more to the environment and weather, isn't rocket science.

Nice preview of JA3

The 1 with the blue beret is Igor Dolvich.

The entrance also reminds me a little to Pablo`s Hacienda Napoles since there were hippos as well. Hope later on we will also have Jagged Alliance 4 in Latin America, against a vicious cartel now that would be so epic. Hoping for nice Sub Saharan vybes with nice nature atmosphere, hope the background sounds, wind, insect and animal sounds etc all will be in there.

Smiley outfit doesnt look bad either, white hat, white tshirt jeans with white shoes. Lets see what kind of merc he will be ? Guess a joker type of guy lol. Am i the only 1 here who is zooming to all screenshots and analyzing the environments ? and so curious about the mercs outfits ? 😃 Would like to see some photos and analyses from you guys too.

Could be yes, do you think it will be like that ? In my opinion it would look somehow monoton. Enemies should have some random or green military clothing as well with camo etc... Btw i like Igor`s outfit, he looks suitable to the African environment much more then Ivan, though maybe helmet instead of beret ?

The ruined place in fence looks really like back in West Africa (made it as my wallpaper), it reminds me to my Liberia & Sierra Leone times, simply wonderful. There is a place called Hotel Africa back in Liberia, once it was 1 of the most fancy 5* star hotels in whole West Africa but right now only the the ruins exist. Just google it, its very interesting, highly recommended. Also there where rumors that Gaddafi wanted to buy there and renew the whole place to make it lively back in the glory times but shortly after the civil war started and he was captured and killed. All of this real stuff happened its just like Jagged Alliance. Guess almost everybody knows the story with Charles Taylor and all. 😃 Btw we were also talking in few other topics if there would be some wild animals ? Which i think likely will, if you check the entrance and fence well there is hippo heads, which may a sign around the swamp area or lagoons can be hippos ? (I mentioned before it other topic already hippos would suit totally as they are also the most dangerous animals to humans in real life back in Africa.) Crocs could be very possibly there as well. 😉

Igor Dolvich with Oufit Unkown Merc or Enemy ?

As we know already we will be having more than 100 sectors, guess it was mentioned exactly how much but I forgot with different environments such as desert, jungle,savannah, swamp and some urban areas. Am assuming we will be having at least 9 to 10 (don't mind for more) towns as well like in Jagged Alliance 2. Really hoping there will be some interesting towns, we saw already various screenshot and video footages from the trailer & gameplay video it looks more like a turned up country with lots of ruins but am sure there will be also more civilised lively areas like San Mona in JA2, Africans love enjoyment so am really curious how they will make all the side fun stuff. Or a very fancy & luxury city like Balime in JA2 will also suit in there perfectly. What you guys think and how curious are you about the sectors and the towns will be ?

Yes the friendly & unfriendly trait between some mercs will be there, it was mentioned already in Gamescom.

I understand what you trying to say, in some parts i agree with you totally like we love JA2 cause of it freedom and we could play it as we wanted, could even go straight from Omerta to Meduna to the main base to kill Deidranna which was surely like Mission Impossible. It was all great and all as we still love JA1 and especially JA2 but thats all nostalgia, way 25 to 30 years ago! Yes most of us (hardcore Jagged Alliance fans) want something similar of it, all of us know it cant be the exact same game again, it should be a great mixture of old school and modern gaming imo. Am also 36 years old and playing video games since am 4 so the times changed massively. Mainly (lets say almost totally) am a console player, i mean am not playing PC games since more than 15 years now, it was great back in the days when we didnt even had laptops, playing on our desktops but times changed totally, console gaming took totally over. Its also way better for eyes to play on console, big screen and been away at least 3 m. I cant imagine now days playing a game for so many hours on a laptop just been 40 or 50 cm away, no way. I agree the gameplay could be affected a lil if it comes for both but as example i really loved to play Jagged Alliance Rage or XCom on console, would never do it on PC. Am currently playing JA1 on PC and cant play it more then 2 hours a day. So it is a must for Jagged Alliance 3 to come also on console, especially on PS5, it will increase the amount of players and it will be great for business.

Also loving her outfit, she has 1 of the best outfits so far i seen from all characters, i mean a realistic combat look as some of the characters looks way odd imo, as example like Hitman with his pink shirt or Ivan with his WW2 outfit (could give him most definitely a more modern look) with Ushanka in Africa idk. All characters should have outfits more suitable to the hot & humid tropical African weather conditions you know, anything else looks seriously very odd. So Fauda`s outfit is even the best so far imo, Fidel own also looks good, maybe his beret could be green instead of red, i mean going to the battlefield with red beret is like been a open target to the enemies lol. Grizzly will be having a black beret, hope his outfit will be also nice and realistic (maybe his suit will be black as well? Kind of black ops vybes.) or really cant wait to see Shadow`s outfit, he will surely blend in perfectly to the African environment with his green camo military outfit.

I was just analysing about Fauda a little, i think i like her already, she is a Arab woman (fauda means chaos in Arabic), there is even a Netflix Serie called Fauda. Guess she will be also from Palestine or Syria (got a good feeling she will come from a war zone country so Palestine or Syria as her nationality will suit perfectly.) She uses already a Arabic word in 1 of her speeches (when she is throwing the grenade) "Good! Send the bastards back to Shaitan!" Shaitan, Sheytan means Devil. Hope she will be using more Arabic words which will make it more exotic. I dont know her stats or her skills as yet but i like her already and guess will be adding her to my team.

Reaper could be also a ideal villain imo, i would not mind if some of previous JA2 mercs will be working for the enemy ally like Mike in JA2. Gus, Magic or Reaper would suit in imo.
