Hence you end up with angular stormtroopers, lightsabers you can sometimes see through, and a Kyle Katarn who looks like he’s cameoing in Minecraft. Unlike Quake, which could tailor its art to suit its visual limitations, Jedi Knight is a Star Wars game, and therefore needs to mimic the Star Wars aesthetic. Being an early true-3D shooter, all that extra power required to render proper polygons mean massively scaling down the level-of-detail on models and environments. On that first point, there’s no escaping it, today Dark Forces 2 has all the visual appeal of Jabba’s fat-rolls. More on that second point later, but for now let’s say that Dark Forces 2 does not like modern PCs at all. Take it out of Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2, however, and you’re still left with a fantastic first-person shooter.Īdmittedly, it’s an FPS which requires some adjustment played today, both in perception and getting the bloody thing running. Take the lightsaber out of Jedi: Fallen Order and you’re left with a mediocre Uncharted clone. Or be tempted by the dark side: Use your Jedi Knight training and apprentice abilities to become an agent of evil.The same notion applies to Star Wars games.
