Is it canon?
>>320850643
Shame its aged like milk.
>>320850707
Not anymore it's not :^)
>>320850707
Unlikely. Blackman Stormtrooper is basically Kyle Kattarn, they wouldn't bother bringing the original back.
Tfw we'll never have a proper modern day sequel
>>320850778
It didn't age. The mechanics are just as good today as back then, whilst the graphics were shit even for the time it was made. Time hasn't done anything to it.
Too bad multiplayer is god awful. Lightsaber combat makes absolutely no sense
>>320851158
>Lightsaber combat makes absolutely no sense
It bewilders me that people can't grasp how it works. There's even a clear and concise movelist for each style, and somehow people still don't get it. It's ridiculous.
>>320850860
I'm sure we will. This shit is easy money.
>>320852119
No way in hell, it's just been way too long now and these games were never overly popular. If I remember correctly, the last JK game ended up being shafted or reworked into Force Unleashed.
That and of course EA has future SW games held hostage.
>>320852119
No we won't because dark forces is no longer canon and all media being produced here on out is. Unless they reboot the series and tie it into rogue one we will never get more games in this series.
>>320850643
I just played that. What a coincidence.
Anyway, what's the best way to kill those huge af stormtroopers? They take a shitton of damage
>>320852721
>tfw nothing is canon anymore
>>320852863
If I remember right they were tough enough to take 2 fully charged sniper shots to the head but that was still the best way to get rid of them.
>>320853214
Hmmm, hadn't considered using the sniper. I usually use force speed and rush around one but that always fails when there is more of them
>>320850924
Shut up nostaliga fag, its aged like shit. Looks like crap, plays like crap, its too hard and the control are shit.
>>320853613
>It's too hard
How can it be too hard if you can heal yourself at will? Git gud faggot.
>>320853934
Not only heal, but shield and absorb? Rolling and controlling your movement
>>320853613
Dude you suck
>>320852568
>>320852721
I was talking about the gameplay, not your barebones Star Wars plot.
>>320853613
>>320853295
I think the trick was to get the first shot off before they were aware.
The sniper was a staple of my loadout every time I played.
>>320854314
Yeah, that sniper was stable. I loved the crossbow though, seing stormtroopers fly when the die by the bow was satisfying as fuck.
Favourite mission?
>>320853613
>Hyperbole-spewing underage who is unable to adapt to games that don't happen to play like everything else on his xbox
>>320854645

Another day another dollar, eh gramps?
>>320854785
You're not helping yourself here, kid. Why not tell us exactly what is dated about the game mechanics?
Is Movie battles 2 any good?
>>320854443
I liked the Dune-esque mission where you had to scavenge parts while sand worms tried to eat you.
But my favorite was Rescuing the Prisoners from the Hutt's Rancor. I killed the rancor and I'm thinking "Oh, the rest of this mission will be a cake walk." And then I'm just walking along and there's another Rancor coming to rip my butt off.
>>320854913
Just looks old and plays old.
>>320855189
Elaborate.
Hosting this shit tomorrow night at 9PMMake sure to download the JK2 maps file located here and drop the .pk3 into your basefolder - http://pastebin.com/PdJPtDVS
Hey /v/, since September 28th 2010, I've been hosting servers for UT99 and UT2004, and now I host Jedi Knight III: Jedi Academy with JK2 maps as well.
My User Name: InspecktahDeck - Steam Group Name: Speck's Unreal /V/idya. You don’t need the steam version to play, but having steam lets you receive announcements when we play. Discussion boards are now on the group page for users to discuss the games, servers, or suggest tweaks/changes, with some other fun stuff. If you have any problems joining, please post them in the thread, or steam group.

I've not played it but its from 2003 like OP said, over ten years ago. Aged shit.
>>320852863

On the side note, can anyone check if there are any duel servers left?

The internet was better back then.
>>320850643
Game was also easy compared to JK2. I did like how going dark side was distinctly more difficult because you had to fight everyone, plus additional fight against Kyle Katarn who whoops your ass.
>>320854925
Fuck yeah it is, and there's still a fair amount of players around too. I'd say usually at least 30 people on at any given time.
>>320855450
>I've not played it
>>320853613
Your mother.
>>320855654
I don't need to play a game to know its bad.
>>320855705
/v/ in a nutshell
>>320855780
>>320855867
But I don't. Do you need to play Candy Crush to know its bad? No, its bad because its a casual game. Do you need to watch old movies to know they are bad? No, because technology was simple as shit and they couldn't make interesting stuff.
Its the same with music, video games, TV. Everything gets better with time. Video games over 10 years old are unplayable.
>>320855867
come on, /v/ is full of pirates that play everything that comes out.
he is very special baiter
>>320855867
>falling for obvious bait

sounds about right
>>320856040
I wish I could hate you to death, you're the biggest retard and its hilarious.
>>320855780
>>320855867
You niggas really falling for that piss poor bait?
>>320850643
Yes. It was great then, and it's great now.
While not canon, do cover the idea that Luke forms a Jedi acadamy. Wished it had covered Luke's path down the dark side, but we can't have all the things.
>>320856185
It's just really bad bait.You should ignore him.
>>320856235
>Luke's path down the dark side.
what?
>Luke fails Desaan
>he doesn't care
>Luke fails Kylo
>he goes into hiding
>>320855384
Should I download those Unlimited Models/Skins and additional character models?
Also, is this just Jedi Academy?
>>320856437
Sidious revived convinces Luke to turn evil by going "hey Luke wanna turn evil?" Luke accepts for like a week.
>>320856541
Just Jedi Academy with the Outcast multiplayer maps.
The unlimited Skins/models are just a bonus that some people might like to have.
>>320856437
Skywalkers have that tendancy
>>320856634
When you say 9PM, are you talking about EU or US timezones?
>>320856448
Desaan killed like 1 student or something before running away from the academy. Kylo straight up massacred everyone else there was to teach.
>>320856814

Move along folks nothin to see here
>>320855705
Thanks dude, this was a great thread
>>320857025
I host earlier than that sometimes, I'm just working late this week and try to get in a couple games each week at least.
How do I host a dedicated server? I tried everything and it only sets a local server.
>>320857275
I'm from Eastern Europe. By the time you guys start playing it'll be at least 1AM here.
>>320855384
Thanks for this. Been getting back into UT. Interested in checking this out sometime!
>>320857369

>>320857463
Even if I started at around 5 or 6PM?
>>320857619
No prob. Hosting UT2004 in a little while, hosted 99 the other night.
>>320850824
But kyle katarn is like... 30-40 years before blackman stormtrooper
>>320855384
You're the reason I host Unreal Gold instead.
Also because UT99 simply refuses to play nice with my server computer...
>>320857827
Doesn't matter, by midnight I'm in bed and I've got work tomorrow. Cheers for trying to accommodate me anyway.
>>320850643

>>320857025

>>320858717
I always found it surprising no one ever made a game about that kind of shit, just working for the Emperor and doing all sorts of shady stuff as his agent in galaxy.
>>320857948
Well shit, my bad dude. We've got quite a few players from Eastern Europe who regularly joinin so hopefully you'll get a chance sometime.
>>320857941
I kinda want to host Unreal co-op someday as a big eventbut I've got 400 games in my backlog to finish before Unreal
>>320850824
I was gonna ask if Finn was the best new character for being basically Kyle Part 2
>>320859216
I set up a server/site to host retro FPS games in general. (vidya.retro-rampage.tk). This week is Unreal (coop at the moment), next week is hexen, then red faction DM, then noone lives forever DM... Trying to go for games that aren't super common, but anything goes really.
Right now I'm trying to get ST Voyager Elite Force functioning, but I can't even seem to see my server in the LAN listing.
>>320856040
>tfw you know someone who genuinely thinks like this
I don't even know what to tell him. It's just sad, really.
>>320856040
>Do you need to watch old movies to know they are bad? No, because technology was simple as shit and they couldn't make interesting stuff.
wat
>>320860123
It's bait.
>>320853613
The controls are perfectly fine. It's standard FPS controls and fully bindable. It's not too hard and it looks passable enough to not be a hindered or ugly.
>>320859702
>Hexen
That game always looked cool as fuck, but the older I get, the harder it is for me to get into newer games. I always feel like I already have enough FPS, fighting games, sidescrollers, etc.
I feel bad because people invite me to play stuff like Serious Sam and while it looks cool, I just kinda want to spend more time playing older games I love like
>>320855450
> I've not played it, but it's old, so it's shit
>>320853613
hahaha
i bet you got your ass beat by those easy ass sith, no wait, lemme guess you hopped on multiplayer and got absolutely shit on
>>320855384
i joined the steam group once and they werent any announcments for like a month
>>320860373
Hexen is pretty hit or miss. Most people don't like the switch hunting (myself included), but I figure if I can get enough people running around the map it'll go smoother. More hands on deck.
I'll be hosting other doom engine games, but I figured I'd start with the least hosted one. It's either that or Heretic, which is just medieval doom.
>>320860480
>you hopped on multiplayer and got absolutely shit on
This busts my asshole wide open every time.
>>320856221
but it's not bait, it's real
i feel the same way when people tell me i need to play WoW to see how good it is
no i fucking don't you absolutely embarrassing, autistic casuals. i played everquest, ultima online, dark age of camelot, anarchy online, asheron's call, neverwinter nights AOL, and more. i know with complete certainty that WoW is more casual than all of those games, and therefore is worse.
you don't need to play something to know it's shit.
>Battlefront didn't even try to have any kind of lightsaber combat
Even some kind of lightsaber clashing would have been cool...Vader vs Luke isn't cool...its a mess
>>320859702
i would say you should set up a quake team fortress server but knowing the current population of /v/, everyone is too fucking casual to even want to play good old QTF, it would be impossible to get a good 32v32 match going even on 2fort5
>>320860589
I've had some short periods here or there where I was sick or real life stuff interfered. It sucks but I try to keep hosting at least a couple times a week.
>>320860749
Hey, of the 1,100+ people in my group, only about three are any good.
>>320860862
Nigga that bait is stale as shit
You don't need to play a game to see if it's your thing most of the time, but you have to play it before saying if it's bad or not.
>>320860862
>doesn't play game
>expects his opinion to be taken seriously
which custom skins do you guys use?
boushh desu
Reminder that single saber red stance > rest
>>320861182
yeah, and what's the alternate? play WoW, get an embarrassing stain on your soul forever that people will make fun of you for, just so you can say "i played it, it's bad"?
No thanks, i'll just never play it because I inherently know it's bad, casual, and for autistic people, and i don't have to embarrass myself by ever playing the game for even a single second.
>>320853613
>>320861173
>scout trooper skin
where
People are still playing it? I'm thinking about buying on steam.
>>320861030
That's not a bad suggestion. I'll do that.
I've had very few people join my server as is, but I'm going to keep it running regardless. Maybe over time I'll get some decent numbers, and weed out the games people show no interest in.
Could change the cycle to every 3 days or so to accommodate peoples ADD. Also that way when people have a game they'd rather play coming up they don't need to wait 3 weeks, just 1.3ish weeks. Or just switch to an "on demand" sort of thing, but that requires a lot more supervision on my end. Kinda want it to be automated for the most part.
>>320861325
>heavy stance shitters
sure, just leave yourself vulnerable while i bust your head open
>>320861491
theres only ever 3 servers with people on them, it never goes above 10 players on any of them. nobody speaks english either. dont know how JA+ is though.
>>320861384
>stain on my soul
Stopped reading right there. 3/10 bait.
If not bait then I suggest you take a walk or something. Seems you take vidya a little too seriously.
I don't give a shit what Disney says, Kyle Katarn is canon. That shit is real.
>>320861475
Ayyy
If someone can find a better one with proper team skins that'd be dope

Obvious bait.
>>320861325
>>320861596
I really don't like heavy style, it's slow to the point of being implausible. As in, it shouldn't be possible for something that slow to not be avoided or blocked. It's just kind of ugly in saber combat, which is a shame because it isn't any good for anything else.
Switching between medium and fast is always good fun though.
>>320862020
no, i use single saber as well. i just know when heavy is appropiate or not fuckboy
>>320861573
try posting on /vr/ as well you probably have a better chance of finding people actually interested in those games instead of here, where people unironically like call of duty and world of warcraft

>>320863336
I started a thread and it had a little interest. Now that I have a decent game list set up, and some servers running maybe I'll see if I can get a retro MP general kicking on there. Even if noone joins my games it'd be nice to see some other servers get started. Speck had the right idea with a steam group, too.
>>320863876
>purefaction patch
Thanks.
There's not many games that let you dig a tunnel to the enemy camp.
>>320864059
I'd never actually played mp before I set up the server. Is there a preferred game mode or anything? Right now the config is just set up for deathmatch.
Is it worth getting the Jedi Knight collection on steam or should I just pirate the games because it would be giving free money to Disney?

That image is not jedi academy, it's jedi outcast.
I started playing it yesterday, I couldn't make it past the first map when I was a kid, and the pic you posted is exactly where I stopped playing half an hour ago.
I wouldn't consider this game hard, however it's hard relative to today's games. I save often and have to reload a couple of times every map.
But I'm really enjoying it.
Would /v/ recommend the first part of the series?
>>320850778
EA's Battlefront turned sour before it was even released. JA ages like fine wine. It's the best Jedi Simulator even without mods.
>>320859216
Pretty much, he is, but the other 2 new major characters are pretty lame. Rey is a blatant Mary Sue, and Kylo Ren is a lamer version of Vader. Kylo Ren could becom great if he goes full NUCLEAR and rejects the light side. Rey is just going to become an overpowered god mode Sue in the future films.
>>320856221
/v/ Anons can be retarded at times. It's impossible to tell whether something is bait or not.
>>320865374
If you truly enjoy the series, it's worth a shot.
>>320865554
Kylo Ren looks a little lame but I'll wait t see the movie before I call Rey a Mary Sue.
I've heard people call too many characters Mary Sues just for being competent, like Luke and Kyle.
