$20 Steam Jedi Knight Collection not fit for modern systems

The Jedi Knight collection on Steam may seem like a good deal, but the games haven't been fully updated to work on modern systems. Here's what you need to know before buying.

That's a load. Why even bother selling it if you haven't made it compatible with the current market you are selling it to?

D-bag move on Lucas Arts part.

morganfell5335d ago

Where have you been? Have you not seen the sad state of Star Wars? That last game didn't prove anything? George Lucas is a deluded greedy pig and the government should have stepped in and taken Star Wars away from him for the good of future generations.

Jar Jar Binks was a warning sign that too many people ignored. By the time the word midiclorian was uttered on opening day of The Phantom Menace, assault teams should have been knocking his front door in and dragging him to the mental ward.

Jedi Outcast/Jedi Academy probably only 2 that work well. I still play em online at times. Engine is so old for Dark Forces 1 & 2 though. Hell I can mod that game. lol. Its that old. So easy to toy around with as well. I am sure if someone is dedicated enough to come up with a mod. They could fix its problems. Can't be too hard to figure them out.

damn it was a good deal
and i DID get it yesterday
Havent tried them yet tho X/

Yet again Lucasarts reveals their true colours. They are no longer about providing a top quality product and more about trying to con people out of money. I was all set to repurchase the Jedi series from steam but I was waiting to see whether they had made any attempt to get the series running on modern hardware.

I am happy I waited now but dismayed they couldn't take a bit of time and cash to make these games WORK on modern systems. Hey lucasarts here is how it works, you do work and I reward you for it. You try and con me and you get nothing.

All we need now is some idiot from Lucasarts to make a ridiculous claim that you need a $100,000 pc to play these games and their failure will be complete.

I'm just gonna buy an ancient pc to play old games on, you can pick one up down a boot fair for less than £10.

Played this a lot on PS1 as a kid, great to see another 90s boomer shooter being brought back by Nightdive!

16bitNutrition240d ago

Boomer shooter is a retarded take on calssic FPS, boomers were in the 50's, not 90's.

BrainSyphoned240d ago

It released in the early 90s so boomers were in their 30 to 50s and were the ones buying these games for their genX kids. A retarded take would be saying someone born the year a game releases is the target audience.

16bitNutrition240d ago

@Brain, more like in their 50's onwards, gaming wasn't anywhere near as popular then as it is now, so the majority of people playing those games would have been Gen X.

Boomer shooter is retarded.

NoFanBoy240d ago

1960's as in Babyboomers.

16bitNutrition240d ago

@NoFan I know what a baby boomer is, the fact that shooters from the 90's are called boomer shooters is retarded.

CrashMania239d ago

okay? not sure why you seem so pressed about the term boomer shooter, it's often used to describe shooters in that style from the 90s as I'm sure you're aware, being among the first iteration of more mainstream FPS games, don't see the need to get so worked up over it lol.

Christopher239d ago

Boomer shooter is a reference to boom sticks, not the era of people.

Boomer-shooter = Non-job-having, live-at-home, youtube-content-making, man-cave dwelling loser’s attempt to coin a term for classic and 90’s era FPS.

If you are calling old FPS Boomer-shooters, #1 you suck for being influenced by a ‘‘was never cool, grown-ass-man and cringe-inducing gaming edge-lord’. (This is correctable, there is still time!). #2 you need to get off youtube, watching middle aged men with no direction in life who make videos about games and their gaming “lifestyle” (aka no future).

Be a gamer, be smart and don’t follow lame ducks who swing Steven Segal levels of made up shit in attempt to be cool to a tween audience.

Neonridr241d ago

would love a remaster of the sequel too.

Shane Kim240d ago

They should remake the entire Kyle Katarn saga imo.
