Here are why these three games from generations past got the look and feel of Star Wars almost perfect.
Dash Rendar, Prince Xizor, the Battle of Hoth, and one of the boldest Star Wars multimedia projects ever made. Here’s why Shadows of the Empire still matters.
This game along with Rogue Squadron got me into to Star Wars. The release of special edition VHS Star Wars collection was perfectly times on top of all that. 😆
But it wasn't. Although I do agree that some of the tie-in media, like the novels and comics, were pretty good.
Still, games like Dark Forces, Jedi Knight, Rogue Squadron, and the space sims were peak 90s Star Wars. Shadows fell flat because of the abysmal controls and unimaginative levels. And if you wanted to really experience the seedy side of the universe, Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 was peak, and it wasn't even close.
Regardless, and much to my dismay, we got the better version thanks to Ubislop in Outlaws, which is what Shadows should've been, albeit at a smaller scale.
As a kid me and my cousins loved this game . I have great memories with this one and the Star Wars pod racer game .
A deep dive into Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader (2001), the GameCube launch-era flight combat classic from Factor 5 and LucasArts that made Star Wars feel cinematic.
Nintendo and Factor 5 (if they even exist) need to find a way to release a remastered trilogy. I know we were supposed to get a Wii version that never materialized, even though apparently it was virtually complete.
Factor 5 staff have on multiple occasions talked publicly about how they’d like to re-release these games. I don’t think they would be the bottleneck, it might be more so lucasarts
So many Star Wars games from yesteryear got ported to modern consoles. I'm still perplexed why the Rogue Squadron series is still not among those ports. With GCN being on the NSO now all three games could be on the service.
I was blown away when I first saw the teaser trailer for GC. Here it is in 480p 😁 https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Yup me too, game still looks great even now. I miss arcade style games like this.
I still remember the effect this game had on me back in the day, was very cutting edge. Was almost like playing a star wars movie on the GameCube. Really showcased the power of the cube.
Celebrate the Super Star Wars SNES trilogy anniversary—1992 to 1994 classics that redefined retro Star Wars gaming with iconic levels, bosses, and chaos.
Stopped reading at "hella" God I hate that term. Worst thing to ever come out of Northern California.
