Now we have this on report, I do know, however in case anybody wants reminding: Darkish Forces is the most effective Star Wars online game ever made. It won’t be the most effective online game made utilizing the Star Wars license, however it’s the most Star Warsy. So it’s very cool seeing the sport given a contemporary coat of paint due to the work of a devoted fan.
luciusDXL has spent the previous few years engaged on The Pressure Engine, an effort to “reverse engineer and rebuild the Jedi Engine for contemporary programs and the video games that used that engine.” It’s now at model 1.0, prepared for obtain, and to rejoice this trailer has been launched exhibiting off a few of the enhancements we are able to count on to a sport that was first launched in 1995:
To get extra particular, The Pressure Engine lets us play the identical previous Darkish Forces, however with a great deal of fashionable enhancements and touches, like correct widescreen assist, larger resolutions and, most funly, full mouselook assist (the unique, like Doom, locked the gamers actions to the X and Y axis). [Actually, you could look up and down in Dark Forces, but it was on Page Up/Down, and incredibly awkward to use -Er, Actually Ed]
There’s additionally a contemporary save system, a correct aiming reticle, and built-in assist for mods. Certainly, about the one change right here that goes past beauty or quality-of-life enhancements are some tweaks to Boba Fett’s AI, although that—and every thing else—may be switched off if you wish to play the sport as 1995 meant.
In the event you’ve bought Darkish Forces (it’s out there on Steam and GoG for pocket change) and wish to obtain The Pressure Engine, you may get it right here. Oh, and earlier than we go, word that that is an engine venture, not only a Darkish Forces venture, so the opposite sport constructed on the Jedi Engine—cult traditional Western Outlaws—will likely be getting related remedy quickly.
