I remember enjoying this game but still, this is scraping the bottom of the barrel when it comes to remakes.

The only reason this will sell is due to nostalgia from the youngest Millennials who didn't care that it was a crap game as children and it originating from the pre-Disney era.

It was decent enough.
Just really not as good as other LucasArts titles, of which there were plenty.

Yeah they should remaster the Jedi Knight games instead.

They would just fuck that up somehow.

While I am generally averse to remasters and remakes, I do wonder how Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight will actually look like if remastered.
I think this prestigious game series is fine as it is, but a remake could work if it will stay true to the originals and their core gameplay.

I could see them remaking JK1 with JK2 combat. Though it would be incredibly easy with how strong blaster deflection is in JK2

 

[JarlFrank]

Btw by remaster I mean them doing exactly what they did to Quake, Dark Forces, Tomb Raider, Command & Conquer, etc

Exact same game ported to a newer engine so it runs out of the box on modern systems, and with all content (the expansion pack) included, and perhaps HD graphics that you can however disable in favor of original graphics if you want.

There's still risk that they'll do Warcraft 3.

They have a decent track record, I doubt they'd bungle it that hard.

Blaster Deflection was powerful in Jedi Outcast because you could block all shots regardless of the saber style you were using.
This is fixed in Jedi Academy, where the Medium and Strong saber styles are not so good at deflecting numerous blaster shots, only the Fast style can.

That only applies when actually attacking though, IIRC? With any saber style you're completely immune to blaster fire while standing still or moving (or at least like 180 degrees which is basically immune). This is why JK2 and JA both have a ton of enemies that get around deflection like explosions or the asshole snipers.

When you attack, you leave yourself exposed to blaster fire, yeah.
In Jedi Outcast, all styles have the same deflection ability. This is changed in Jedi Academy, where only the Fast style protects you fully.

the asshole snipers.

the asshole snipers.

You just have to learn how to play Peek a Boo with those Rodian snipers.
And try to learn where they are beforehand.
