Jedi Academy Skins Single Player Download
I still remember it as if it was yesterday, it was a few months into my Jedi Outcast adventure when my clanmates told me some exciting news. “They’re making Jedi Knight Three!” They said. “Holy Shit!” I exclaimed. I was ecstatic that Jedi Outcast was getting a sequel, the hype was real. Mind you, 2003 was a much simpler era, the proliferation of social media that we see today was just taking its first shy steps, and much less gaming outlets existed; not to mention that English Chinese cartoon message boards were still new and more niche. I didn’t knew much about Jedi Academy beyond its name, and it’s not like I made efforts in obtaining additional information. Approximately a month and a half before the game’s release date, a “Pre-Gold” build of Jedi Academy began to circulate on the Internet.
I remember how surprised my friends and I were when the news broke. Many theories as to who was the culprit arose across all of the community forums, some had more credence than others, but most, if not all, spawned out of pure speculation and unconfirmed hearsay.
The theory with the most consensus and the most plausible one at the time was that the leak was the work of a disgruntled employee—or his girlfriend, depending on who you asked. The temptation to get our hands into that leaked copy was too intense, one half of my friends preferred to wait and not dabble in the realm of illegality, but some of us couldn’t resist and downloaded it. I hit that download button so hard and fast and got my copy with the help of my blazing fast 25Kb/s download speeds. Contrary to Raven’s allegations, that build of the game was indeed playable from start to finish; it was only missing a few textures, most (if not all) skybox textures, and a few minor bugs here and there, but nothing too game-breaking. Even the multiplayer was playable—albeit without a master server nor the dedicated server executables, hosting a game and using the /connect command to manually join worked just fine.
In a way, the leak served as an unexpected beta/sneak peek of Jedi Academy. The game was released nearly eighteen months after Jedi Outcast, it was built upon the core of Jedi Knight 2 and ran a further modified version of the id Tech 3 engine, an engine that was then beginning to show its first signs of aging. The most notable addition, gameplay wise, was the new two Lightsaber styles: a Lightsaber staff, made famous by Darth Maul, was now a full-fledged combat style (before, a half-assed implementation existed in JK2 but it was only part of a cheat code). Dual wielding, a style Anakin Skywalker popularized in Episode II: Attack of the Clones, made its debut in the series.
These two styles were given stances of their own—and even unique “kata” special attacks; while the single saber stance, ever so perfect, returned in all its mighty glory with a few new special moves. Visually, the game resembled much of its predecessor. While a considerable amount of assets from Jedi Outcast were reused it did had a substantial amount of graphical improvements and new textures; your journey took you across new places never before seen in the Jedi Knight series, as well as famous planets such as Tatooine and Hoth. Vjun, a prominent location in the Expanded Universe, was an important destination in your journey. Tavion Axmis, a secondary antagonist in Jedi Outcast, was now the primary antagonist of the story; as a result, her in-game model received a fitting rework. Kyle Katarn, the hero and protagonist of the Jedi Knight series wasn’t playable this time around for the first time since the Mysteries of the Sith expansion for Jedi Knight I. This time, the celebrated hero was your mentor, and the protagonist of this story was an individual named Jaden Korr.
