This is one of those mods that frankly transcends the meaning of the word. Naturally we're excited for the Star Wars Jedi Survivor release date, but with Star Wars Jedi Outcast getting full VR and Quest 2 support, alongside motion-controlled lightsabers and Force powers, we're also - all of a sudden - frantic to return to this stone-cold PC classic, and one of the best Star Wars games of all time. It looks amazing, and it's out now. Yes, you can play Star Wars Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast in VR right this second. Read the rest of the story... RELATED LINKS: This Star Wars VR fan remake looks pe

There's no denying that Star Wars and the Oculus Quest 2 are an ideal pairing, with Meta's best VR headset providing the perfect platform to enact your Force-fillled fantasies in games like Vader Immortal and Tales from the Galaxy's Edge. However, if you're hungering for more VR adventures set in George Lucas' sci-fi universe, an upcoming fan remake may be just what you're looking for. Guido Mariano has shared work in progress footage (via UploadVR) of their attempt to develop a fan remake of a classic Star Wars game, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. The latest clip shared by Mariano sees them as

A listing for a Star Wars Racer and Star Wars Republic Commando bundle for Nintendo Switch and PS4 recently appeared on Amazon, suggesting that a rerelease of the two popular Star Wars games is making their way to Switch and PS4. Amazon listed this potential bundle for a November 16 release, developed by Aspyr and published by THQ Nordic. This bundle continues a renaissance of sorts for beloved Star Wars games released in generations past coming back to modern consoles. The Jedi Knight games were rereleased in 2019 and appeared in a bundle some time later. Meanwhile, Star Wars Episode 1: Racer

Whether the best Star Wars game is Knights of the Old Republic, Empire at War, Stellaris, or, er, Civilization 6, we can all agree: Jedi Outcast is the best Star Wars game. (It's actually still KOTOR but whatever.) Jedi Outcast was a looker back in 2002, but it's not quite as impressive today - until you add ray tracing to the mix, that is. Modder Mr Zyanide has made use of the path tracer in Quake 2 RTX to build JK2RTX - a fully path traced version of Star Wars: Jedi Knight II - Jedi Outcast. The lighting is obviously a whole lot more impressive than it was two decades ago, and while there's

Imagine a world without electricity. Horrible. What would we use to blend our smoothies? How would we know when uncle Derek hits the metal bit again in the Sunday game of Operation? Electricity has roughly one dozen uses, and yet it is in the realm of videogames when we see its most fantastical and offensive capabilities brought screaming to life. To celebrate the important role of sassy electrons in your otherwise

One Off The List is our weekly list feature. Is there something you think doesn t deserve to be on this list? Comment with your reasons why, and next week it may be let off. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is out today, letting you follow in the roguish bootprints of young force punter Cal Kestis, played here by Archie of Archie comics. In celebration of his boyish padawan appearance, and the way he uses a deadly weapon like you d use a torch app with dodgy permissions to find your keys, let s make a list. A list of the least qualified Jedi (and Sith) in PC games. (more…)

While Star Wars games have become increasingly shoddy over the years, they were once consistently pleasing. In memory of the late, great LucasArts, shut down by Disney, Raven has released the source code of two such games from the Jedi Knight series, Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy. If you missed them in the early noughties, they were the first solid ways to have decent multiplayer lightsaber battles. "We loved and appreciated the experience of getting to make Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy for LucasArts," Raven said in a statement provided to Kotaku. "As a gift to the persistentl
