Our time on Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast has been wonderful.

Kyle Katarn isn’t just a hero of the Rebellion, he was a Jedi and both he and you will need all your Force powers to stop the newest threat to the galaxy and to unlock some awesome Trophies on your way. Force powers play a key role in Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. So what should have been intense brainstorming instead became friendly reminiscing of “man, remember when you encountered Lando?” Or “how about the first time you disintegrated an enemy?” What would have traditionally been an hours long meeting, became conversation amongst friends gushing about their favorite moments.Īnd all of that was before we even started to discuss all the unique ways that Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast lets you use the powers of the Force. These gameplay elements were further reinforced by the game’s gripping storyline, both of which have stayed with us for all these years. And after experiencing lightsaber combat for the first time, who could blame you for wanting to switch into third-person and engage in intense lightsaber duels as you push back against the imperial forces.

Or maybe you’re a bit more brash the kind of guy who rushes in with Force speed, your personal shield generator equipped, and lightsaber at the ready. Maybe you prefer the more tactical approach, using the electrobinuculars to plan ahead. They are fully realized areas, encouraging exploration, diverse combat styles (is this the right moment for the Wookie bowcaster or the less discrete thermal detonator?) and they encouraged us to play Kyle Katarn our own way. Stormtroopers and imperial officers aren’t menacing a character on screen, they are threatening us! The game’s sprawling levels - Bespin, Yavin, Nar Shaddaa - are more than hallways and corridors. The game’s first person perspective meant we were experiencing the world through Kyle Kattarn’s eyes. It was easy because for us it was the first time were fully immersed in the Star Wars universe in a video game.

When it comes to deciding on Trophies: it’s hard! We believe that Trophies should feel rewarding, that they should encourage exploration and gameplay and that the best Trophies make you take a step back and say “Yeah, that was definitely Trophy-worthy.” Normally, figuring out what Trophies meet this criteria is a long process full of discussion, debate and deliberation.īut with Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast? With a game that we’re not only all familiar with, but that we all loved? It was easy.


And neither would we.įirst a little secret that we probably shouldn’t share, but we’re going to be anyway. But a Jedi does not run from a challenge. This was obviously not something to be taken lightly. After all, not only were we bringing back a beloved classic, and not only was this going to be the first time PlayStation players were going to experience the story of Kyle Katarn, but it was going to be the first time ever that Jedi Outcast would have Trophies. From our very first conversation about bringing Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast to PS4, we knew Trophies would be a high priority for us.
