Star Wars Video Games - a general discussion thread — Page 2

Ive got:

PC x-wing- one of my favs but hard as hell, still havnt beat it after all these years

Rogue squadron for N64- no longer have this, but loved it and mastered the game

Rogue Leader for gamecube- still have this one and love it. mastered it as well.

Battlefront 1 for x-box- love this

I liked Battlefront II and was pissed when they cancelled III for the Xbox and PS3 which was in development and had a space mission mode.

Also pissed they cancelled Kotor III, i liked the first 2 games, though the unfinished 2nd game is a mistake that shouldn't have happened the extra levels should have been finished if only for the PC version if the XBOX one had to be rushed for deadline.

I like the Kyle Katarn Jedi Knight Games.

Terrible would be star wars obi wan, even revenge of the sith which had horrible controls was somewhat okay.

Whoops, forgot about LEGO Star Wars.

I liked Jedi Power Battles (though I haven't gotten very far in it), the Dreamcast version is miles better than the sloppily controlled Playstation version.

I liked Shadows of the Empire, but someone borrowed it from me and never gave it back =(

Dark Forces
Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II
Mysteries of the Sith

Also, I've been keeping tabs on the various mods to upgrade DF and JK:DF2 to more sophisticated engines (usually a later Jedi Knight engine), but they're suffering the same fate as most mods like this: developers leave the project, things stall, that sort of thing. Shame, too, as I'd really like to play DF again. :(

Any news on that mmo thing, Old Republic or something.  I heard it was delayed until 2012.

Even though they were bad star wars and sort of prequelish, i really kind of liked the force unleashed I and II and that it was close to the oot era.

The fact they canceled III is a joke, and they let their best writer go Hayden Blackman.

^What do you care? You're always talking about how it's no KOTOR 3 and just a damn cash grab.

I always liked Jedi Academy (MP and mod purposes, single player was eh,) Outcast, and Rogue Squadron.

There were some rumors and even hints they might reveal the story that would have been kotor III in some kind of backstory or download content.

The timeline makes reference to the first game even if the story is somewhat inconsistent with that game, i am also wondering if part 2 which was not done by bioware is no longer canon and has been erased from continuity since it has not been referenced.

Knights of the Old Republic

Those were the ones I liked (all for PC). I regret not having played Shadows of the Empire, and I regret even more not being able to find it today...

P.S: I had Imperial Ace on my mobile. Good game, too.

I didn’t want to start a new thread for this game so here goes…

I bought Lenovo’s Jedi Challenges for only 50€ even though I didn’t have a required phone to play it with (yet). I just tested it on my relative’s iPhone and it was much more fun than I thought of. Okay, the trooper battles are pretty lame but still okay, but the lightsaber duels are really fun. Didn’t have the time to test other game options. In addition to having fun battling myself, it was ridicilous to see others play the game too. Half of the fun became from that. But it would be great to have a real duel, too bad I don’t know anyone else who has this.

50 Euros? Where? The best I can find is £150 from Currys and PC World. Also if you are Irish (I’m Northern Ireland) I would totally battle you sometime!

I bought it at a local auction site. There always seems to be one or two for 70-90€ even unopened. The seller of mine said he had won it from somewhere and it was sealed too. Maybe check eBay? I’m pretty sure they are out there because I could imagine some kids could get bored easily or something. It has a huge novelty value but you pretty much need to be a True Fan to appreciate it even after a year.
Sorry, I don’t live there. 😛

No Genesis love? Star Wars Arcade on 32X was my shit back in the day. And it’s one of the few good games on 32X that’s dirt cheap these days.

‘Star Wars: Jedi Challenges Dark Side Expansion, Kylo Ren Lightsaber’

https://www.ubergizmo.com/2018/08/jedi-challenges-kylo-ren/

$99 US seems a decent price (may be cheaper soon after?) - looks an intriguing game, and good to see it’s getting free updates too.

I’d like to try that but I don’t know anyone who might be interested. Also, I’d rather try it on someone else’s game set first than buying my own.

I finally got to try Battle Pod and I have to say even with the big screen and loud sound and fancy bells and whistles I was extremely unimpressed. Anyone who has played Trilogy Arcade or rogue squadron will best it in five minutes. It’s super easy as you just mash the trigger at the auto lock on and hope you get it done in enough time to pass. Little skill is involved. I got on the top leaderboard in only one play through and every level is virtually the same.

Some great info here on the ‘Jakks’ or ‘Touch Pad’ handheld / plug n play type Star Wars games (with pics and gifs) on this blog:-

The ‘Red Leader’ game looks a lot of retro arcade style fun 😃

Stumbled upon this today on YouTube, looks very promising:

https://www.moddb.com/mods/xwvm

“XWVM is a mod to the original Star Wars: X-Wing game from Lucas Arts and Totally Games by Larry Holland and Edward Kilham. Our goal is to rebuild the game engine with newer technologies that allow it to run and make use of the latest hardware and improvements in gaming hardware. The mod will require the player to own and have installation of the original Star Wars: X-Wing game, or have the GOG or Steam versions of X-Wing Special Edition (either the 1993 floppy, the 1994 CD, and/or 1998 Windows edition). XWVM neither contains nor distributes any copyrighted material. All game resource files (missions, voiceovers, SFX, iMUSE automaton, etc) are loaded from the player’s copy of the original game, or are original creations of our team, where the original resources are considered inadequate for today’s standards.”

This would be a dream come true! I hope the developers fabricate a fairly playable version.
