Player 2 presents the latest episode of this retro gaming podcast. This edition talks about Rebel Assault, X-Wing and a host of other classic Star Wars titles.
Before modern online dogfights, X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter brought Rebel and Imperial pilots together in one of the boldest Star Wars flight sims of the 90s.
In a genre like space simulation, you either go big or go home. But, with a focus on space combat, Starfighter Inc. is trying to redefine the entire genre and how people see it. Enter Impeller Studios' David Wessman and Jack Mamais.
Vr mission was the only reason why I brought the first game. Plus I got a copy for £5 lol
The game, from Red Fly Studio, was meant to be a sequel to the infamous 1997 game X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter. Sadly, it never made it out of the prototype phase. It had all the makings of a great game but was killed off, nearly before it had a chance to be.
Thanks for the YouTube link, the Auto-play that appeared afterwards was an excellently edited video of Darth Vader voiced by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
I loved this line of games. Xwing and Tie Fighter (the better of the two) were amazing. X-Wing vs Tie Fighter wasn't as good overall but was still fun to play.
Yes! Tie Fighter and its expansion is still one of my top 3 favorite games of all time! Sadly we will never see another like it. Its impossible to make a console version because there's simply not enough buttons on the controller. Tie Fighter literally used every button on the keyboard.
I really would give my 3rd nut for a new Tie Fighter game.
