KR 2 - Request For More Fans Input

Ok, first some good news. It appears progress is indeed still being made on the second Davilex Knight Rider game. For legal reasons, they cannot yet disclose any images from it sadly.

Anyway, they have requested some more input from the fans, as they are really pushing for authenticity.

We want to create a list of brief shouts/remarks/exclamations
from Michael and Kitt that we can use during certain moments
in the game.

For example, when Kitt bumps into something, we want him to
say something to Michael. Something in style and "funny".

Obviously we need numerous speechlines for each situation
in order to avoid repetition. These must be really really short and catchy pieces of dialog, for various different situations.


So there you have it. If some of you want to help, try and think of some brief exchanges from the series perhaps, that could be used in the game. Or come up with your own - as long as it sounds in character. ;)

Here's a few examples of scenarios:
  • KITT hitting a civilian car by mistake
  • KITT colliding with scenery
  • KITT getting flipped
  • KITT scanning an object
  • KITT approaching a large gap that will require turbo boost
  • KITT and Michael general chit chat while driving
They appreciate people's enthusiasm for the new game, but they regret they don't have the time to reply to every single e-mail. As a result, it is highly likely your mail won't even get read - especially as some of you are mailing several times a week. So, please respect their wishes and mail your suggestions to me, and I'll put them all on a text file and forward it to the Producer. That way its guaranteed to get read. :)

Finally, I need some help from a French and a German fan. If you are familiar with all localised episodes of Knight Rider in your respective country, and can speak good english, please drop me an e-mail. There is a second project requiring your assistance.

The deadline for submissions is 01:00 AM EST on Monday 12th January.

Thanks for reading, and hope to hear from you all.

there should be some funny phrases like KITT said sometimes before Michael pressed the Turbo Boost.

I don't know exactly what he said in English but in German he sometimes said things like " Michael, you do not really want to..... oh my god he realy does...."

Also they can make a Spanish version: I'm a good friend of the guy who mades the Spanish voice of Michael Knight (in Spain): Jose Luis Angulo... Sadly, the men who did the voice of KITT, Carlos Revilla, passed away 5 years ago... Also I know the Spanish voice of Bonnie: Luisa Ezquerra...
In Spanish, when MK presses the TB button: "oh no, michael, no estarás pensando en saltar toda esa distancia...! Lo hizo!"·

im not sure if anyone said this, but if they make the game more playable it might be very intersting. meaning look at what games are great right nice, GTA, manhunt, those kind of games, why not have some levels where you have michael on his own maybe with a gun, maybe inside the building but with extreme realist graphics, some blood, and kitt helping to get a getaway. switch it up and make it more in the user control

Thanks for the suggestions, but Davilex are no longer accepting gameplay suggestions.

They were sent this List Of Suggestions back in July last year. :)

Any clue yet from them on what the game will play like, Sith?

Nope, afraid not. They still haven't officially announced it yet, so something's clearly holding them up. Just have to wait and see. :)

Other KR quotes in spanish...:

KARR: ¡Vaya, vaya, vaya....! ¡Un marcapasos!
KITT: ¡No puede ser KARR! ¡Lo destruímos el año pasado...!

I know they're asking us for help with the game and I think that's great.

But personally, I think they should all watch every episode of Knight Rider made properly. Maybe even as much as we do.

That way, they'd know what KITT/MK are likely to say but also they would have a better grasp of the entire, erm, theme? I dunno but they'd definitely have a better insight. I know they probably don't have the time or manpower and it's easier to ask us but I still think they should watch it.

Some random input for the game

MK:Behold,the power of cheese.

Kitt:Power of cheese? If cheese did have power, I would run on it.

Where would that line be used at? Right before KITT turbo boosts through an advertising sign for some generic cheese?

Old quote from an old game: "A time of the signs." - Used right after the kid smacks into a sign.

but hey guyx , what do you think theyill do about the games scence of speed ?

You think they might use motion blur during SPM or that same Blue/redish
zoom out effect ?

I think it would be cool if they used motion blur like in Need for Speed UnderGround .

And I hope they get the Real RPM/Mph Speedometor sound effect .
imagin you could press a Speedo button to see though red numbers apare
on the botton right or left part of the screen with that "ticking" sound


:shock: :D :shock: :shock:
