    They didn't give a release date during THQ event so assume 2023 or even Q1 2024.

    There is no such thing as "real gaming" 😛
    But for now the Game is PC only though, and I hope that they also design the interface for a good use on PC first, and don't make it "streamlined" for console already, with everything split into an interface like a BIOS with thousands of differnt sub-sections with lists to scroll through.
    You could argue that all the simplifications in Firaxis Xcom are thanks to consoles. And I actually strongly dislike that game. And I also think that Rage is overall, like JA FB and JAO not just a bad JA game, but also a bad game in general. But I digress...

    I do agree that a console port makes sense though. But they should adapt the interface afterwards for that version. Generally more platforms means more money for the developers, potentially meaning more potential budget worth to be put into the development.

    So it could be seen as console releases financing our voice overs these days. 😉

     

    I mean real gaming is for me with a console and controller not with mouse and keyboard or on smartphone with touch screen you know.

    Back in the days strategy games were mostly played on huge desktops with mouse and keyboard which was also fun, remembering those days when i freshly played the JA2 demo way in late 90s as a teenager which made me kinda addicted, playing for hours.

     

    But today its just a different time, XCom as example (i know there is lots of haters here lol) was very well made for console as you mentioned. Played JA Rage & XCom 2 so many times it gives the perfect feeling. Also to play the game on much bigger screen (TV) from few meters away is much better than playing a game from a very near distance on a laptop (guess most Jagged Alliance & strategy hardcore fans on here still preferring laptop over console). Just to pop trophies and play a game to %100 gives us (console players) lots of joy to achieve that. Trying to play XCom 2 %100 platinum but hey its pain in the @$$, 1 of the hardest achievementsts ever, i mean who done that is a gamer legend for sure. Especially the final mission on legendary difficulty in XCom 2 is really hard, then try to do it on iron mode and with "who needs Tygan?" (with simple gear) thats more than super hard for sure.

     

    Hope they will not make Jagged Alliance 3 easy as Jagged Alliance Rage, the difficulty should be just right like in JA2.

     

    THQ will make very possibly a console version of JA3 but maybe they want to see first how many people will buy it for PC, how much attention it will caught? Imo its a mistake somehow as most players are on console today and just as a PC game it will not have so many followers imo, i was even surprised last week on the THQ showcase, most of the people on the chat screen was writing Alone in the Dark (yes also a console game i played years ago in PS1) and 1 more game cant remember the name right now sorry, i think i was the 1 and only person in the chat screen writing there Jagged Alliance 3 🔥🔥🔥 like a excited child who is waiting for his Xmas gift 😆

  2. Mid to late 2024 for PlayStation then. Uffff i need to wait a lot but just hoping it will be something proper, i dont mind if it will be like Rage but just with more blood & gore which we can see on the 2.trailer already and a better story with good voice acting, the atmosphere & graphics also doesn't look bad to me. I like the scenes where the mercs are running, escaping it looks really intense.

    Maybe everything we see in this new trailer is still in the early stages of development and testing. Maybe these game mechanics aren't final yet, and most of these things are about to change.

     

    It's time for DevDiary.

    Exactly, thank you. Godspeed opinion is way too pessimistic imo. I would not mind if they make the game similar to XCom 2 either, liked Rage but Rage was made too cheaply as a indie game. With good effort Jagged Alliance 3 can be a really good game, especially if the voice talking will be added up, some NPCs and the game is a must for console, especially PlayStation cause am not playing it on PC with mouse like 20 years ago lol, real gaming is now days on console.

    I would really like for them to bring back Ice and Magic. They were a fantastic duo.

    At least 1 of them will be there for sure, but without voice acting Jagged Alliance 3 will really suck.

     

    But we heard some voice acting in the first trailer from a enemy when he was shot he said oooh it hurts lol which means there will be some audio talks, especially the mercenary dialogs with each other and with the citizens + enemies were always epic, without it it will be extremely dull.

    I really don't mind waiting two more years for the game, even if that means we'll get a real Jagged Alliance 2 sequel.

    Two years isn't as much as it seems. 🙂

    Myself i dont mind waiting a lil longer but something very proper please, but it will take somewhere around mid to late 2023 anyway still it will come for PlayStation and other consoles.

    There is a sign of you Biff at 1.59 in the trailer a few M.E.R.C. Survivors and character named Biff. 

    Biff the red haired useless annoying merc from JA1 & JA2 ?

    Looks good, tho still a little rough. Hopefully characters react more to explosions and gunfire in the finished game. In JA2 characters would hit the deck if bullets whizzed by them, and an explosion nearby could knock them off their feet.

     

    It looks bloody, but can you still blow someone's head clean off? Also I noticed two characters with peg legs...

    It was hard to tell but it looked like the grenade wrecked the walls. Destructible environments would be cool.

    And the mortar is back!

     

    I know it's still early but I hope the mercs all have voiced lines, in the footage is seemed to be just text.

    It looks like there's a morale system.

    Also looks like your skills increase by using them. Barry gained +1 health for being shot to pieces.

    The chat box with texts instead of audio voice talking is extremely dull, hopefully they can bring audio voice talks and with good actors, some heavy accent and some other languages as well so it can make the game more interesting. I mean a Jagged Alliance without proper voice acting dialog isnt a Jagged Alliance for me.

     

    Also the portrait pics arent moving, if they could replace it with lively emotional faces it would be %1000 times better.

     

     

    The enemies should also show more agony animations with more scary emotion.

    That's not really surprising. I've honestly never met another gamer IRL that knows about Jagged Alliance...

    Very disappointing imo, what they know about Jagged Alliance ? Especially today youth, nothing !!!

     

    Just watched the new trailer, its ok, just a new video that last around 2 to 3 mins, at least some blood effects are there and liked how the enemies dead in different varieties.

    IMHO, Jagged Alliance Rage is not a bad game, it's just a very low budget sidekick all about ground tactics and survival of a very small team.

    Yeap it is a very low budget indie game, could be even a simple mobile game lol but the fun is still there somehow. I played it from post to pillar at least 20 times now. Wish they gave a lil more effort, realistic environment design, more blood & gore and a bit better AI. 

    Also the story is really poor, they could make it a bit more interesting with more named characters, bringing back Elliot was also a no brainer to me but anyway. I like those sadist black mercs though, they throw now and then some cool quotes.  

  9. I guess most of you here dont like Jagged Alliance Rage as i also agree its far behind the real Jagged Alliance (especially part 2) but i still had mad fun playing it, the weapon variety is rich, we got few of our top mercs with a few cool quotes (Ivan & Fidel my favourites by far). As a Jagged Alliance hardcore fan its still a must play imo. I posted a walkthrough of JA Rage on YouTube.

     

    Posting here the final sector, the castle raid, hope you like it. Did a few mistakes but the legendary Ivan Dolvich saved the whole team once again. 😊

    Part 1 (Outside The Castle)

    Part 2 (Inside The Castle)

     

  10. I can imagine for most of us Jagged Alliance lovers, a multiplayer mode is always on our minds. Can remember on JA2 there was a modded VS mode were we could battle with each other.

    Hopefully there will be a similar mode like that too, were each player can select some mercs like 3 VS 3 or 5 VS 5 as example then select a sector to battle with each other, this would create surely extra fun to us after finishing the game multiple times.

    Also see who owns the better tactical strategy.

    Just imagine a battle between mine and your mercs in 1 sector that last like for a hour. With lots of stealth action, flanking, taking cover etc... This would be simply legendary.

  11. I would not say now that the JA1 inventory is better than JA2 and as Kordanor also mentioned it bright colours arent nice imo.

     

    This inventory is not bad either imo from Inna Woods ;

  12. The music (soundtrack) should be full of adrenalin but most times when i play i turn off the soundtrack anyway, instead i would like to hear the sound of the environment, more like realistic nature or animal sounds. Like as example when we are around the swamp area at the night we should be hearing a wonderful frog 🐸  orchestra. When we are in the forest, jungle area or ruins there should be owl sounds to creep up our skin even more, it would add us up much more excitement, then suddenly out of nowhere we get ambushed.

  13. Blood & some gore effects is totally a must on JA3. The topic of the game itself its about blood money, blood diamonds.🩸💎

     

    But somehow i think it will be a lil more childish way (like on JA Rage with nearly none blood or gore effects), even on the trailer when our enemy got hit by Ivan, he says "that hurt" like a bee stung him lol, instead would like to hear more agony like sounds like aaarrggh, to express more realistic pain expression.

     

    There should be also some gore effects that appear rarely in the game so when it happens it can be something special to us.

    A fun gun battle without blood (the blood should be staying on the ground, water or when we make headshots splash some blood to the walls) & gore is somehow no brainer to me.

    Bodies should be also laying on the ground for days, when we comeback to the sector after few days the body should start to decompose and be surrounded with crows (since we are in Africa obviously with vultures).

    The shotgun lying on the table, which Ivan uses later in the trailer, is the Italian M1014 (Benelli M4). A weapon known from the Counter Strike game.

     

    Yes i think it is.

     

    BTW can you or someone also tell what Ivan says in Russian when he uses the shotgun ? 🤔

  15. If the question for us to use the vehicles on combat (then i would say possibly no, why? It would spoil somehow the strategic battle) but to fight against vehicles in the game ?

    Absolutely %100 standing behind it, later on the game should be on some sectors like static (or slow moving) tanks (we had it already on JA2) or armored vehicles with turret (which would suit perfectly to African environment.)

    As how to counter those tanks or armored vehicles would be perfectly with RPG-7, Mortar or other armor penetrating weapons or bombs etc....

     

    I just hope there will be lots of destructive objects in the game (it will create us lots of more realistic excitement), especially walls from heavy explosions such from bombs, rocket launchers or tank shots etc... Its simply a must !!!!

    Yes, lots 🙂 Can't talk about specifics yet, but I am certain you will catch many of them when you see new footage.

    Not just yet - I am waiting for greenlight to get started with the dev diaries and am just as eager as you all.

    Am waiting extremely excited for this moment over 20 years now.... Its simply like a dream comes true to me, thats why we the Jagged Alliance lovers have somehow big expectations about Jagged Alliance 3.

    Jagged Alliance 3 will not be a dream come true just for the Jagged Alliance 2 hardcore fans but the aim should be also to bring much more new players to this wonderful turn based strategic game. 

    Once Jagged Alliance 3 will be a successful masterpiece, it will be just a matter of time for you guys to work on the sequel Jagged Alliance 4 (probably could take place on the 2010s or today 2020s as example.)

    Launching this game on console would be also play a very big factor for marketing, cause todays most players are on console (including myself).


    So we hope & pray, since we really hoping for the very best outcome from you guys. 😇🙏

    @LoboNocturno

    Gun Jesus boring? You blasphemous heretic!

    Just joking friend. 🍻

    I understand his channel is not for everyone. Me being an mechanical and electrical engineer however I really enjoy seeing all these mechanical wonders and how they work or why they don't work. 😂

     

    Interesting idea @cdg10. I would be for something like that, as long as the implementation wont limit what guns the mercs can use. Perhaps it could be the other way around aswell, that some mercs despise certain guns? Maybe a weapon familiarisation system could also be implemented? After all, the more you use a weapon the better you will perform with it.

    God forbid. 😇

     

    When i said boring dont get me wrong didnt said bad or so but sometimes i got the feeling like he can take you to sleep but thats everyones own opinion, some like the more calm teller from A to Z with every single detail, some more the basics with more action & excitement which FPSRussia displays perfectly.

    Also DemolitionRanch & nutnfancy are very good gun presenting YouTuber.

     

    Furthermore the guns should also have health bars (condition meter) like back in JA2 but the guns should not get wrecked that quickly after 10 - 15 shots like in JA Rage. Guns getting jammed should be also happening once and while.
