STOP! . . . . Hammertime!. . . ok I'll see myself out.
Edit: Almost forgot to mention apart fromt he bad dad joke, Tie Fighter episodes are to be released Mondays and Firdays each week. Fridays will be the completion of Battle 1 and the events of Outpost D-34.
The nostalgia is real! Real pilots don't need no stinking shields. This game still holds up. Am loving the updates to the engine. Squadrons looks pretty but is arcadey whereas this has everything that's needed for a legendary space combat sim.
No shields, all guts! Glory to the dark screaming angels of the Emperor!
talent is playing without shields :D
For a 90's game the amount of world building which is something that is seriously lacking today... also that you have so much flying about 70 odd Ties plus the enemy team is pretty damn amazing...
Yes, I agree. Good story and good world building is lacking in a lot of modern games but it's very lacking in space combat/cockpit sims, at least in those few that still exist.
What's more impressive is the story of this game is built to wrap around The Empire Strikes Back and The Return of the Jedi, the outpost D-34 missions are dealing directly with the rebel evacuees from Hoth, the final missions are the lead up to the Battle of Endor.
It also incorporates Admiral Thrawn, a character from the first books
The lack of world building in modern media is the consequence of instant gratification centric marketing.
Or the equivalent of skipping your veggies so you can rush to dessert.
The original X-Wing Alliance told the story of the Azzameen family affairs in running their station amidst the growing unrest; you don't actually start out loyal to the rebels. In fact, it takes nearly a dozen missions before you even fly for the Rebel Alliance and makes the payoff actually mean something when it finally does happen.
@@atmosdwagon4656 luke didn't start loyal to the rebels either. he wanted to goto the academy at the start of ep IV
@@insertcognomen Indeed. He was just some random backwater farm boy until circumstances demanded that life end.
oh man the nostalgia. Tie Fighter was my go-to in my preteen years. I was 9 when it came out. I maintain it's still the best star wars flight game to date. Going to have to look into this mode. Keep on keeping on Magz :)
The sound of those turbolasers off the ISD is so fantastic, super sick to see it come into action.
Also I love seeing the Probe Droids floating around the hanger.
23:58 - 20:02 you shot down a Y-Wing in a Tie-Bomber!! Excellent!!
Oh, I absolutely love this! It is like polished and improved nostalgia! So many memories and experiences given a fresh coat of paint and posed in near perfect light 😊
I don't know why no one has tried to make a proper sequel to this game/series with modern computers in mind. Squadrons tried to advertise itself as a renewal of these games, but it fell so, so far short. I can only imagine how amazing a faithful sequel could be. All they would need to do is copy and paste the game mechanics into a beautiful engine and write a compelling story to play through, it could even be seamlessly multiplayer, like Borderlands where players can join you at any time and play the campaign with you without changing the story or loading into a separate MP world.
Might have a bit of difficulty making it PvP since each faction's star fighters are so vastly different in performance. I hated how Squadrons tried to balance the vehicles, like a TIE L/N isn't supposed to be a match for an X-Wing, they're supposed to outnumber it. TIE Fighter made you feel like an absolute badass because for the first dozen or so missions, you were flying a tin foil ship against the legendary workhorse of the Rebelion and you somehow came out on top, so by the time you were permitted to fly the more powerful, shielded vehicles, you almost wanted to turn off the shields just to squeeze a bit more speed out of them. After all, you got that far without shields, who's to say you need them now?
This in unreal 5 would be amazeballs
That takes money and why spend it on quality versus quantity.
Disney isn't what Lucasarts used to he. It doesn't love this franchise so much as use it. Loving something more than the creators or owners do just leads to upset.
4:40 getting old school, ANH trench run-style vibes with lining up the y-wings on the little screen and shooting them down
The capital ship interior we see in between missions reminds me of Freespace. They had a beautifully and highly detailed hangar has a menu. I wish I could have that as animated desktop background.
Most of the space sims or cockpit sims of the time had somthing similar, from the Wing Commander games even to old school MechWarrior 2.
It was the common way of the time for building an interactive menu that wasn't just a menu.
If only someone would remake FS2 in a new engine. Man that would be awesome.
I like the fact that the concourse exterior updates to the status of the campaign. hyperspace outside while in transit back to D-34 is a real nice touch
I really hope you continue with this playthrough bud! This is such a gem of a game to see again. :)
Woah!! You managed to endure two horrific hits from enraged X-Wing fighters and Y-Wing bombers and lived! Before that, you shot down countless more, and revealed a Imperial Shuttle full of Rebel Officers hijacking it! You couldn't protect the modified Juno Cruiser from being destroyed, but you avenged it. Just amazing! Update: This was your first assignment!! Cool!
Also you Caught the Attention of the Emperor himself due to your extreme intelligence, improvisation, skills, and bravery. You literally nursed a severely damaged Tie Fighter back to the hanger with damage that would have destroyed even Tie Interceptors. So he personally decided to make you a member of The Secret Order of The Emperor!! Legendary!
I don’t remember if it was ever released. But in the game files for Star Wars squadrons there was a decal for imperial ships resembling the tattoo you get for completing the emperor’s secret objectives.
The starfighters in Squadrons also.. Just feel slow. I had hoped that game would bring back the feel of X-Wing and TIE Fighter.... But, alas, not so much. Such a great opportunity missed.
The officer who briefs you, looks like he wants to ask if somebody farted in the room.
Ah, a 1st gen Imperial Star Destroyer with the big X array on the tower top.
This looks epic. Waiting for this this for ages !!
Great game update and video. And it's such a joy to hear Buoy pronounce Boy, and not Boooooooooeeeeeeeeee. Holy mackrel, that used to irritate me like hell in Alliance 😁
Pure adrenaline. You fly a Tie fighter and you have only one hit tolerance, the second will be fatal, unless the enemy shoots you with twin canons or quad 😱
You're a much braver TIE pilot than me; the moment that green 'targeting' indicator lights up I'm pulling away immediately.
Same!
Heck, I remember back when I played the OG version of the game, that I would spend about 80% of the final(?) battle just spinning & dodging! (and THAT'S in a Tie Defender!) While relying on Vader & other computer-controlled allies to handle the bulk of the fighting!
(Only getting "aggressive" when I absolutely HAD to! "You want to save the Emperor? Fine! YOU save him! I'm busy not getting hit!" lol)
🤣. C'mon, you haven't lived until you go head to head to with Mon Calamari cruiser in a TIE fighter. Best 2 seconds of my life
Loving this series! Thanks
more tie fighter goodness
Those stormtroopers have a lot of butt wiggle.
Btw...shout out to those X-wing pilots for fighting until the bitter end lol.
I love this game so much! I think we played it for years on end :D
This looks great
I always felt so claustrophobic in the TIE Bombers. Its definitely on par with the Rebel flying dump truck Y-wings, shields aside.
LOL. Serve the Emperor.
HOW? HOW? how is this possible. Explain please! Looks so damn good!
Wait. Why are women serving in the empire?
Legit question from a lore standard.
love it!
Spinning looks good on screen, but renders your fighter relatively flying a straight line. 😉
Pay closer attention to the starfield when I’m evading, I’m not spinning I’m rolling. Stick position hard right and down varying position between centre and hard right while also applying varying rudder between center and hard right. The result is a barrel roll that varies in size through each loop while also changing my heading vector constantly.
I’ve been simming in everything from WW1 fighters to Star fighters for around 30 years, I know not to roll in a straight line. :)
Edit: this is also partly why I will often just roll even when not evading and heading in on a target, im a simple rudder push and a stick pull away from being next to impossible to lead.
WE'RE NOT EXPENDABLE SIR!
This game looks siccc!
Black uniforms/robes, purple lightning. Are we the baddies?
Yes... Yes we are.
Heh Magz, just wondering, in the good old days with X-Wing, when one got "toasted" you lost your earned rank, any idea how this works here?
The mod looks amazing, but the X and Y-wings just flying like ducks or geese in a formation, letting you take potshots at them, seem so strange.
Sorry about the NOOOO in your previous message, I fear these tattoo scenes where gone but I was mistaken!!! so happy about this game now!
My least favorite craft on either side remains the B-Wing. What is yours?
Of all the primary fighters? TIE/SA, I like to dogfight and the Bomber just lacks power, it's slow, doesn't handle all that well and while that puts it next to the Y-wing in terms of performance the Y-wing at least has shields.
I love the Tie Interceptor, that’s a badass mofo
I'd love to see a remake or new game based on this style, not squadrons
Yes, An actual space combat/cockpit sim, not an arcade game with a cockpit view.
They wont do it, not with the Mouse holding the rights now but a space sim in this style built in somthing like Unreal Engine 5 would be amazing.
If only I had any idea how to program.
@@MagzGTV If they could only do Elite Dangerous, but make it Star Wars, we'd be set for years! Copy and paste that flight model and energy systems and heat mechanics for smuggling, get some talented folks who can take those mechanics and make a fun campaign to go with sandbox type stuff, and it'd be amazing.
I had made a sound pack for this game and can't seem to find it. The weak part of alliance were definetely explosion sounds, just sounds like noise. If I find it I'll send it to you :)
big fan
Man, its a good thing niether the mod not the original game modled the top turret correctly on the Y-wing and made it so a second crewman in those things could control it and swing it around on you....
Canon: in the Rebel Y-Wings, the turret was fixed in the forward position. Only the Republican Y-Wings carried a gunner.
@@MrLBPug Legends: The Rebels had multiple Y-Wing variations, but they'd always strip off the armor and give it modern shield systems. The two most common Rebel Y-wings was the standard turret configuration and the Longprobe, which were the ones you see here.
Also, the Canon Rebels also had multiple Y-Wing variants, including ones with the turrets.
@@Elitex62 Neither of those are relevant. These games were Expanded Universe, prior to Disney getting a hold of the IP. In the EU, both Longprobe and standard Y-Wings had the ion cannons fixed forward.
@@Fizwalker First, I was correcting his understanding of Canon. Second, the Rebels DO have turret Y-wings. They are the BTL-S3 Y-Wings as opposed to the BTL-A4.
So if I have the Steam version of X-Wing Alliance, and it's already modded with the XWAUP, would I still be able to play this, or do I have to install a fresh version of Alliance? I do still have my CDs from 1998, so maybe I can install another version not in my stream folder. TIA.
Are the developers planning to convert x-wing also ?
Can you customize your warhead loadout in this version?
In later missions you can change your loadout in the hanger before launching, you can see the options grayed out in the left display before takeoff.
I really need a tutorial so I can play this on my Oculus with the VR Headset and sticks. I'm sure it's possible but I don't know how.
Jimmy Wallace👍
It got to be a lil bit too much like Warthunder arcade there at the end.
You can go back to the mothership and reload your bomber.
Space invader's need's a remake
Why does Gluttie want to make an app so bad?
Mate, I could listen to you all the time, this perfect British English, you should teach people, how to pronounce in English, really!
As a Y-Wing jockey... this video was offensive... you slaughtered many of my brethren... (real talk excellent vid tho)
Oh its going to get soooo much worse :P
I'll probebly do X-wing alliance upgrade after I finish Tie fighter so I'll get some kills back in the Y-wing.
Yeah, I just checked my kill list on my halfway completed playthrough. Y-Wing kills are 5 times the next highest craft. Way too many missions have "Protect (Home Base)" as an objective to let you fight fighters and make runs on capital ships.
7 minute notification? Noice. 😉
Like and a comment
If you want to be put in a real Defender, you're in the wrong place. The one they put in this mod looks nothing like the original design. They gave it Interceptor wings and a TIE Fighter exhaust. Massacred it :/
We'll see when we get to it, I mean it can't be any worse than what Squadrons did to it.
can you imagine war thunder with actual missions and airplanes that made sense for those timelines?
me neither
I miss historical battles
anyway, it's a russian game, not playing it
What does War Thunder have to do with Tie Fighter?
Hihi, warheads on foreheads :)
Man, they really don't make games like they use too.
You can tell it’s an American doing a fake British accent in the briefing. No Brit would say zee-95. It’s zed-95. Facepalm.
Hmm seems my comment got removed. I'll try again! I am the TFTC project leader and also the voice of the Reimagined briefing officer. I am actually from the UK, around the Oxford area. Interestingly, the original actor Guy Siner (who is also very British), also said 'zee' not 'zed' in this mission for the Classic version. So while yes 'zed' is what Brits typically use, 'zee' is also valid. It could be at the time he was directed to say 'zee' for an international audience, but who knows.
Hey Angel, if I cant see any removed comments on this end in my held for review section but if you have any other messages go missing let me know so I can check again for you. I have some filters setup, they are only meant to catch people posting spam links and porn but sometimes they grab other messages as well.
