>Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy has finally been released on the Nintendo Switch, but there seems to be a disturbance in the force. >There is reportedly an issue with the game's online multiplayer component. While there's no mention of a cross-play feature in the official Nintendo description, right now, PC players are able to join Switch matches and it's causing all sorts of trouble.
>"I was excited to play this game online, so I picked it up immediately. I joined a game where 1 player was absolutely mopping the floor with us and he had .twitchtv in his username." >"Sure enough, I looked him up and he was playing on PC in a switch server absolutely decimating everyone." >"Apparently all you have to do is take the server IP from a console match, which is clearly visible on console, and enter it in the PC server browser and join."
Holy fucking shit, which retarded dev thought this is a good idea to be able to crossplay with PC players grinding multiplayer for 17 fucking years?
>which retarded dev thought this is a good idea to be able to crossplay with PC players grinding multiplayer for 17 fucking years? Its not about the grinding, its about sending a message.

>which retarded dev thought this is a good idea to be able to crossplay They didn't, it was an accident. Though I'm not sure how such a mistake could occur.
Jace Young
What's the problem?
Jacob Johnson
Is keyboard + mouse better than gamepads in this game? If yes, then, it's an issue. If no, trial by fire for the switch players.
Jose Foster
pfffhahahaha
Chase Russell
>accidental crossplay on a 17 year old game so is this the final bullet in the head of the CROSSPLAY IS TECHNICALLY DIFFICULT lie that devs have been feeding us for years to let the console manufacturers stroke their peepees about their walled garden platforms?
Austin Murphy
>Though I'm not sure how such a mistake could occur. I really doubt it could be a mistake.
Nathan Turner
based pretendo slayers at work
Luke Morris
Hopefully they keep it but add a separate lobby just for new Switch players.
Daniel Ward
Crossplay between console and PC is retarded anyways You don't do crossplay between PC and Console for the same reason there are separate leagues for men and women's sports. Men (PC) will dominate women (consoles) every time.
Ethan Campbell
those kids are gonna grow up destroying people
Joshua Hall
Fortnite has a similar issue ages ago. Seems like a hard thing to do unintentionally and now the game officially has cross play it makes you think
Adrian Roberts
It's more immersive this way, you can pretend you're really a padawan getting shrekt by his mentors.
Hudson Rivera
based Jedi Knight homies providing irrefutable evidence once and for all that PC is the superior platform for FPS
i don't give a shit about nintendobabbies getting rekt, but it's quite alarming how a very old game port is able to have crossplay when modern devs have been saying "crossplay is fucking hard to do"
I remember getting my shit pushed in so hard in Jedi Academy back in the day. I had a friend who was really into these lightsaber duels and he and the others could basically kill people like me with one move.

Benjamin Green
anyone got that webm where Darth Maul jumps off his speeder and decapitates anakin?
Eli Hernandez
>NOOOOOOOOOO I THOUGHT SWITCH GAMES ARE STRESS FREE I GET ENOUGH ANXIETY FROM WORK AND BEING AROUND PEOPLE
They were released on consoles even back in the day, Jedi Academy was ported on Xbox and Jedi Outcast on Xbox and Gamecube.
Jack Smith
So is it worth playing?
Nolan Hughes
On PC yeah
Jose Lee
>They were released on consoles even back in the day This doesn't answer my question in any way.
Eli Ross
>It just got ported on Switch and PS4. answer me please i can PLAY THE GAME ONLINE? or the comunity is dead? last time i played was 15 years ago
Joseph Phillips
They're fine.
Jackson Cruz
do i need movie battles to join their server? how do i do it I just launched the game on vanilla, and see a lot of siege currently. is that them?
Cameron Hall
The MB2 community is still fairly active, especially when there's new media released.
Nicholas Morris
>PS4 Wait what, i thought it was only switch. Brb spending 23 bucks on a 17 year old game, and if it's just to show them they should continue that series.
I used to play outcast on gamecube and academy on PC. Controller is hella slow but doable. Just don't expect to do any fancy stuff like slamming people into walls with force choke, or picking them up with it and force pushing them into oblivion. Also, lightsaber combat is pretty much just whacking away at stuff.
Jonathan Sanchez
You can play it online, and it's alive at least now when it's relevant again.
Easton Bailey
Yes, you can join switch and ps4 servers on PC.
Ryder Lee
>being upset that you have an even more active and populous multiplayer Why? In what fucking world is crossplay a bad thing?
Carter Hill
>I can PLAY THE GAME ONLINE? if you want to buttblast nintendkiddies then yes, game is still active.
Adrian Wright
I don't get why PC players are so mad that a game they enjoyed is getting ported to modern consoles. If anything it would show to the devs that there's still an interest in a series which would potentially mean more games of said series.
Daniel Nelson
>Third person shooter on the quake 3 engine >Is kb/m better than a shitty controller? Of course it is you fucking mental degenerate. You can't even strafe jump on a controller.
Levi Diaz
how explain;is it as simple as playing vanilla, and joining a siege game right away? what is the process? im really intrigued, and I play this game regularly.
Jace Garcia
Don't call me a mental degenerate you silly goose. I've never even heard of this game before let alone the engine it uses.
Xavier Campbell
>nintendobabs are just saying all the PChads are cheating cope more
>don't get why PC players are so mad that a game they enjoyed is getting ported Can you show me a single person who is mad? Or do you just really like this narrative?
Jack James
>/connect 18.237.72.65:31063 - Duel how do I do this is it a `/~ console command? please explain fren am retarded
>IP servers are for PS4 servers >NINTENDONINTENDONINTENDONINTENDO Rent free.
Hunter Peterson
it's literally in the fucking OP you mongoloid
Jack Ward
Ninkiddies getting destroyed
This is good
Anthony Jenkins
almost makes me want to buy the game
Jason Foster
It's not just that M+KB is better for this game, due to the amount of direction based attacks. More-so the fact that the PC players hopping in Switch games have over a DECADE of experience dueling eachother. They're probably fucking mopping the floor.
William Morris
i fondly remember my struggles as i improved in this game over the years.
i used to think i was pretty boss, until i started playing in the 1v1 servers and started getting swept. Eventually i thought to myself power style is the only style! then i got mopped by quick styles.... and rinse and repeat. i still don't think i am good at this game but god damn i would be lying if i didn't say i used to organize and participate in little tournaments and forums... i used to be obsessed with this game. i once got a double kill by returning a saber through 2 people. i nutted.
Ian Barnes
Go download it on GoG or Steam. There are a handful of servers with players still playing religiously. Fucking nuts. I love it.
Mason White
of course it is
Liam Martinez
While loading the multiplayer game on console, there is full IP address shown. People are writing this down and connect seamlessly on PC through /connect command. Simple as that.
Elijah Roberts
Does this mean people are actually playing Jedi Knight online again?
Oliver Reed
>Darth Maul jumps off his speeder and decapitates anakin here you go user
