Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcasts was first published in 2002. It was and still is one of the best war of stars Games of all time, a near-perfect blend of the orig inal dark forces’
If you played the game the way nature intended in 2023, that would be awesome! But this standalone port/version, assuming you’ve got the hardware, looks like a huge – and decidedly more modern – improvement. It takes the original Jedi outcast and gives the player full VR support, along with the ability to wield their lightsaber via motion controls and use powers via hand gestures.
I have to be clear when I say that the original was a very good video game in every way. But people’s lasting memories of especially in the aftermath Fallen Order Battle of all ages
It’s called JK-XRand was created by fans as a “standalone VR port” of the original, meaning this is a complete overhaul of Outcasts of the Jedi engine with a brand new download (although you’ll still need a copy of the original for everything else). That explains why the team was able to make this so specific to VR, right down to the new weapon and force power menus.
You can download it here if you have the hardware (Pico 4 and Quest 2/Pro) on the PC and would like to try it out. The available demo can be played individually, no additional download is required, but as I just said if you want to play the full game you will need a legal copy of the original, which is still available from all major PC digital stores.
