An extraordinary overview showing the greatest things about the game on a cinematographic style, as the Rebels complete their journey to defeat the Empire.
The video includes dogfights between fighters, battles with capital ships, transporting cargo, shooting with a turret gun... finishing with the Battle of Endor were the Rebels destroy the 2nd Death Star.
Screen recorder: Fraps 3.4.7
Video editor: Sony Vegas Pro 11
Special game features used:
- Shift+F Record replay
- Filming Room to watch the replays
- Alt+J Flyby Camera (only on the last mission were the falcon is inside the Death Star)
- Crtl+END toggles HUD on/off
- C to drop camera in film room
Joystick: Xbox 360 Wireless Controller mod with Genius F23
(you can watch my custom joystick here: • Xbox 360 Wireless Cont... )
Game Add-ons:
- X-Wing Alliance Mission Campaign for Multiplayer (used to play with different crafts in some campaign missions)
- Super Star Destroyer v1.0 by Dragon & General Trageton, courtesy of www.xwaupgrade.com
- AlliED: Mission editor
Production time: 3 months
Why I didn't use all upgraded models of the X-Wing Upgrade Project?
Because this video was intended to be about the original game. Never the less, I do include one upgraded model (the SSD) to show that aspects of the game. Another reason is that using upgrade models makes drop fps in my computer (not sure why, because is a new computer).

One of the best little things about this game is that it gave all this backstory to the cruiser Liberty. She's basically your home for the majority of the game, you fight alongside the squadrons aboard her and Commander Kupalo and Commander Zaletta are both notable characters throughout the game. And then you get the cutscene where the Death Star blows up the Liberty...

One of the greatest games ever made. 20 years old and it still looks and plays amazing. I've been playing it again last few weeks and man, it sucks you in. I still feel games late 90s early 2000s were the best. Great movie, my compliments.

@spearPYN Жыл бұрын

Pretty much it was the peak, the last era when games were incredibly polished and complex with immersive gameplay. I love Atari era in the 80s, Amiga era late 80s/early 90s, PC DOS era (early 90s) and PC Windows era late 90s/early 2000s. After LCD monitors became the standard the games started to be garbage...

I've always asked myself why the games industry seemed to completely forget the space flight sims genre. Games like X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Starfleet Academy and Klingon Academy (just to name a few) were hugely successful at their time, and there's plenty of players out there who would happily give their money for an up-to-date version of these games !
