Nightdive Studios announced Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster and Sector had the opportunity to try the game in a demo and talk to the authors.
DSOGaming writes: "Jason Lewis, senior environment artist at Obsidian Entertainment, has shared some gorgeous new screenshots from his upcoming Star Wars 1995 “Dark Forces” Level 1 fan remake in Unreal Engine 4. And… man… it looks absolutely amazing."
Think Frostbite does a much better job rendering Star Wars title, despite how flexible UE4 is, the GI solution in Frostbite is one of the best in the industry, not to mention its rendering for materials is next to the best in the industry
THIS is what we need! Take the exclusive license away from EA (who have no idea how to properly manage an IP like Star Wars).
A look back at simpler times when a lone smuggler took on the Galactic Empire in a galaxy far far away.
Such a good game! The diogna on I think the 3rd mission always scared the crap out of me!
The Krayt dragons were tough too.
I remember my brother and I were making a mod for this game because my mom didn't like the fact you had guns and would shoot people. (Even tho it was Star Wars)
We were making it so the enemies were different types of monkeys and apes.... and there were several fruit themed weapons.
Like for example the default Bryar pistol was a Banana that you would squeeze at the Monkeys and shoot out a peeled banana shot to "feed" the monkeys instead of killing people.
The thermal detonators were apples that would "make applesauce explosions" and we even made a squish sound using sound forge to record and edit our voices with a cheap 5 dollar mic.
We made the proximity mines be a cut open melon that would feed monkeys when they got near.
We were like 8 and 9 years old and were making our first mods on such a non violent game.
It's crazy how much AND how little things change as you get older.
X-wing vs Tie Fighter, Rebel Assault 2, Jedi Knight, this game, and Rogue squadron were the best thing ever growing up.
So many memories playing star wars games.
I remember when this first came out for PC. I purchased the PSone Classic version a few years back.
With Star Wars: Battlefront in our sight, we looked back to the previous Star Wars games. In our oppinion these are the best ever made.
Thank goodness the 4 hour disaster of FU II wasn't there.
Worst game ever! Fun to play until you finish it only 4 hrs in.
Played this a lot on PS1 as a kid, great to see another 90s boomer shooter being brought back by Nightdive!
would love a remaster of the sequel too.
