no acknowledgement in years

not even a skin in fortnite

Why does Epic hate their own creation so much?

bnuuy

The best you'll get is a Fortnite skin. Timmy is a kid diddling faggot.

the only way to get their attention is to make a video essay about it that gets picked up by the algorithm
then gen alpha will beg for more games

Too videogamey.

probably need to ask cliffy for that

Toony vidya boys owe me sex

Timmy is a kid diddling faggot.

Tim Sweeney? Proof? Sounds like a shitstorm waiting to happen.

This series died before the worst of yiffshit emerged, so it would be preferably if they let the franchise stay dead in peace. Also, I wouldn't want any modern dev handling this corpse in hope for a few nostalgiabux.

inb4 collab with wild assault

does the original exe still work in modern windows or do I need some dosbox or virtual machine fuckery to play this

Jazz Resurrection works well from my experience

The gog install exe just works, no dos box needed/opened.

wtf they have a switch build that needs homebrew? with all the shovelware on that platform and they won't release this on the eshop?

If they even tried to release it on the eShop, Epic would sue them into oblivion.

he looks too edgy and badass for the modern audience

Real question, where is Jill? Game designed by Mr Sweeney himself.

Shortly after its release, 20 to 30 copies were sold daily.[3]

Hey, better than most games on the Epic store

Too cute for modern audiences.

mentally ill furfag trannies ITT discovered another beloved childhood IP to pozz

Never post what you like on this data harvesting website

doesnt that just go for the whole internet?

Epic just hates their own history. Half Life got a 25th anniversary update, and Nightdive is giving System Shock 2 an enhanced edition. I don't see any love like that for Unreal.

Don't make me tap the glass

Erm ackshully I played Jazz 2 in the early 2000s. Thought he was cute back then too.

how old is your monitor?

What pissed me off a little was how much inspiration Pizza Tower took from Jazz Jackrabbit 2 with basically no acknowledgement.

JJ2 was the first thing that came to my mind when playing that game. Looking into it a little, McPig's did site it as a heavy inspiration for his earlier games, but there's not mention of it for Pizza Tower. Pizza Tower zoomies would love JJ2 if they could find it, but it's been scrubbed from history by it's creator and the people who were inspired by it.

There could at this point be some controversy behind the IP. Old game dev was a lot smaller circles and a lot more personal, maybe there's something they want to keep in the past there. I don't know, is the name spaz too much now? It doesn't make sense that it's been basically scrubbed from existence. Jazz is a good mascot, it could be like Epic's own sonic.

A poster for the first Jazz Jackrabbit appears inside some of the houses in Fortnite
It definitely should get its own skin as well, I agree. Epic sometimes seems ashamed of its past, it'll do little nods but the only Unreal stuff they have are two characters from UT4 and a lobby track for Facing Worlds.

I don't know what that would be besides teasing cliffy about being a cuck. Even then I'm sure he'd be fine with anything being done with the Jazz Jackrabbit IP. I think its more so that Epic has become a moneychasing company. That's why Jazz died for Unreal and why Unreal died for Fortnite. All these IPs are just being sat on, some not even having the luxury of retirement on GOG. We have the highest count of furfags in history at this point so I highly doubt it would be the aesthetic of Jazz.

They literally delisted the entire Unreal franchise everywhere.

Same thing happened with the one Robin Hood movie that Walt made from recycled parts. Furries got a hold of it and it has all been downhill from there.

When I was 9 I ran Spaz only. Fuck Jazz. This is all I have to say. SpazChads rise UP

I used to play with my older brother and he lied to me and told me he hacked the game and made Spaz just for me so we could play together. Wholesome psychopath moment.

they abandoned 2014 one for fortite, they aren't going to do anything else for it

Basically this. A lot of stuff they've published got released out of their grip, so you have stuff like Tyrian released for free on GoG. Their own internal stuff was like ZZT, Xargon, Jill, Jazz, Dare to Dream and of course Unreal. They don't have that much of a legacy outside of Unreal - they were mostly a publisher with using a shareware model.

That being said - Jazz 3D was in the works and there's an alpha floating around. It would be cool if someone actually continued that but nowadays mascot 3D platformer market is oversaturated.

This tracks because all Jazz players are psychopaths. Narcissists too, probably. They were given a choice and still chose the green stinker. Unforgivable.

No porn no relevancy

I guess Lori just couldn't compete with the other rabbit whores.

That is Bucky O'Hare. Honestly stunned how blatant the design ripoff is. I guess Epic has always been pretty trash.

Uhh actually there are JJ cabinets in the arcades in fortnite

Jazz Jackrabbit comes from a time when it was possible to ape other shit and still make a game with soul.
Jazz is Sonic with guns. But it's still pretty good.

after the lackluster GBA game the series was doomed

When it came to DOS, having even an offbrand version of a platformer was a godsend. Plus Jazz had a pretty kickass OST
youtube.com/watch?v=WsisGqvXP8I

i like the OST. and totally fair. we had a DOS box growing up and i have no doubt jazz would absolutely stomp anything I played on it at that time.

this
jazz is too unfuckable of a design

Just astroturf some dumb coomer bullshit like femboy Jazz and zoomers will eat that shit up, worked for Gex

You could at any point in time force interest and a new entry into existence just by making porn of the characters or paying someone to do so.

The whole series has around 450 entries on rule 34 xxx and I refuse to check how many on furry sites. If you get that to 10 000, we get a new game or at least a skin in Fortnite. It's just that simple.

I never understood why people like this game so much. It's a generic 2D platformer. What's the appeal? Is it all just furfags lusting over the bnuuy?

By DOS platformer standards, it's actually pretty top end and it was one of the more widely known franchises. The big games from id were probably better known but not much else was.
It doesn't really compare to Mario and Sonic at the time in terms of quality though.

Best PC game soundtrack of the entire 1900s.

The GOG release IS DOSBox, you twit.

And anyone can do it. You can kick start the interest using AI pictures and eventually some real artists will get on board trying to chase trends. Goth Lori, femboy Jazz (or Spaz) and a mature mommy Eva Earlong. That's all it takes.

Born in 91. kys larper

This series died before the worst of yiffshit emerged, so it would be preferably if they let the franchise stay dead in peace.

i never considered this, now that i have i agree

Too sexy for today's sensitive audience, they might end up getting a boner. Better redesign her with masculine proportions.

It's pretty much entirely pcfags circlejerking around it because it's one of the only good platformers on DOS.

If Jazz 2 had released on consoles it would’ve been remembered as an immortal classic.

34 year old retard

you should definitely kys

I think I agree. The pool of platformers back then with good coop play was miniscule. Jazz 2 with local coop would have been the shit on snes or genesis.

DOS didn't have a whole lot of shareware platformers as good as this
It looked fairly nice, great music as well and had a lot of variety with all the different planets
Then JJ2 had a decent level editor, plus local and online multiplayer which extended its replayability considerably.

Sonic with guns

How so? There are no loop-de-loops.

Sonic with guns

The only platformer it’s similar to is Pizza Tower and it’s like 25 years younger.

The years (and the technology) don't line up. It would have been a playstation game if it was ported to a console. It would have easily been one of the better games on the whole console if they managed to do that. Pixel graphics could look pretty good on ps1 like Symphony of the night and lesser known games like Adventures of Lomax and even games like Worms Armageddon were good enough.

Idk how anyone played the game without Spaz double jump, Jazz is ass. I could enter half the coin only areas by doing double jump tricks, not that the coins were hard to find in the first place, he was just so much better to get around, also the sick ass kick.

It's aping its 90s style. And there are run fast segments where you run up and down slopes and shit. Jazz even has a similar running animation as Sonic. It's obviously not a 1-1 copy of sonic but its influence is clearly all over it.
Jazz 2 is significantly more different though

Fair enough. I was mostly thinking of Jazz 2 since I’ve played it a million times more than Jazz 1.

Oh cool. I’m glad others made that association too, I thought I was the only one.

And there are run fast segments where you run up and down slopes and shit

Holy zoomerino. Have you even played the games or looked at the levels. The levels are a whole lot more vertical in Jazz than in Sonic. I never ran fast like Sanic in Jazz because it made absolutely no sense for you to do so. Stop repeating what Civvie said in the review because he's a moron eCeleb that thinks Romero and Carmack can do no wrong.

Free schoolgirl puss if you were playing in <2010
Now multiplayer is pretty much dead

Yes, and I'm talking specifically about Jazz 1 here. Which I replayed a few years ago, and also played as a kid on my windows 95 pc with a turbo button.
The gameplay is not a direct copy of sonic, but its art style, and small segments of levels are very clearly sonic inspired. I know the majority of the game is platforming, spamming your gun, and looking for secret walls and finding the exit. The levels are fairly linear but still less so than sonic games.
If you can't see the Sonic influence all over Jazz 1 you are fucking blind. Frankly the go fast segments in Jazz suck, especially compared to Sonic, because theres barely any gameplay in them. They are pure padding hallways, but they also arent in every level.

...why?

This artstyle gives me subway vibes. I just know that this is furry porn. How else could I explain this primal disgust I feel?

the mysterious pink appendage that's cut off didn't clue you in?

Well now that you mention it. But if anon cropped a hair above, that face is still a dead giveaway.

That's what Onesimus is for.
