That, combined with the engine's distinct movement (exploits and all) gave way to "surf" maps and other abstractions from Academy's core gameplay. Like many other games built on derivatives of the Quake 3 engine, Jedi Academy birthed a vibrant modding scene. It remains to be seen whether Asypr plans to simply disable all cross-play outright, fix the console matchmaking to exclude PC players, or add in other multiplayer filtering functionality for Switch and PS4 players. A remedy for this loophole is now in the works and will be available soon. As with every game we work on, we are fully committed to delivering great gaming experiences for players, which includes a fair playing field for all. We are aware of the current bug that allows multiplayer cross play between PC and console. Asypr provided the same statement to USG as it did to PC Gamer: We're absolutely thrilled and appreciative of the support that our fan community has given last week's launch of Star Wars™ Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy on PS4 and Nintendo Switch. USgamer reached out to Asypr to ask why the cross-play functionality wasn't advertised and to inquire about a remedy for console players. ![]() Some PC players seem to be intentionally trolling console servers, but even in an otherwise fair match, mouse and keyboard offer greater precision in Jedi Academy than most Switch or PS4 players could hope to match. PS4 and Switch servers don't show up in the menus for Jedi Academy players on PC, but players are free to plug in the unlisted IP address of console matchmaking servers and have at it. PC Gamer reported on the strange, seemingly unintended crossplay functionality this past weekend. Enthusiasm for new PS4 and Switch ports was high as a result, but since its release console players have found that cross-play with PC is actually enabled by default, resulting in unfair matches between new players and PC veterans. Though plenty of multiplayer Star Wars games have followed it, the franchise still hasn't had more focused multiplayer lightsaber combat than Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy's. Some content, such as this article, has been migrated to VG247 for posterity after USgamer's closure - but it has not been edited or further vetted by the VG247 team. Throw in a full set of trophies and a tidy-looking visual remaster and you can do a lot worse in the land of Wookiees and Jedi for $19.99.This article first appeared on USgamer, a partner publication of VG247. According to PSN, those with PlayStation Plus will be able to take part in 32-player multiplayer combat modes which include siege, capture the flag, free for all, and more. The PS4 version of Jedi Academy isn’t just a basic console port, as it does include the franchise’s hallmark multiplayer mode. While acclaimed in its time, the 2003 lightsaber flailing simulator shows its age more than most from that period thanks to a focus on character model physics and stylish Force powers. If the rerelease of Jedi Academy seems odd then know you aren’t alone. Announced some time ago along with a Nintendo Switch version, Jedi Academy is the follow-up to the extremely good Star Wars Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast starring everyone’s favorite non-canon Jedi rogue with a heart of gold, Kyle Katarn. ![]() ![]() Does social distancing have you nostalgic for early 2000-era PC games with chaotic multiplayer? No? Well, too bad! Star Wars Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy is out on PS4 starting today, promising to bring all of your Twi’lek Jedi power fantasies to life once more.
