GameCube: Star Wars Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II (gold medal playthrough)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- One of my favourite games from the console and showed the graphics power of the GC.
I run each of the main levels and aim for a gold medal. There is one level I repeat because getting gold with default gear is nearly impossible, one level I skip the cutscenes to get the time down in order to get the medal but I edit the scenes back in, and some levels I obtain the power up found on that level before repeating the stage to get the gold.
The main game ends less than half way through the video. The rest of it is taken up by endurance mode.
Graphics on this game blew me away when it first came out. Gotta say, it still looks pretty great. That's a 22 year old game right there
I just searched for this game out of curiosity expecting it to not hold up against todays standards but I was surprised how good it still looks! A Switch port with updated display ratio would be an instant buy for me!
@@cortez31 i would also buy.
It still is pretty and holds up even better in higher resolution in emulation. Factor 5 did a great job.
bruh gaming is not about "graphics" that's modern mindset.
@@TheDunbartxeen putting modern standards on old games bcuz that makes sense LOL
This game still holds up today. They could just do a straight port and release it on the Switch. I would pay full price
22 years later and this game still looks gorgeous.
This game was absolutely incredible.
What do you mean "was"?
I feel like this game is overlooked, but it was a huge improvement over its predecessor on the N64. Also the Gamecube doesnt get enough credit for being the amazing console that it is. I just wish i could go back and play this amazing game one more time.
Man I played this game for hundreds of hours about 20 yrs ago and never found any of the upgrades. I'm discovering they exist now 😂.
back when video games were still made with passion. the 6th console generation was the last great gen in my opinion.
The first half of the 7th generation was pretty good, until it became a preview of how dogshit the industry was going to devolve into
Try Baldur's Gate 3
Dude
Last of Us series
Uncharted series
Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West
God of War/Ragnarok
Insomniacs Spider-Man
Ghost of Tsushima
(I'm a PS fan boy)
Also Witcher 3
Red Dead series
Star Wars Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor
People love Dark Souls
All the Gears of War campaigns are great
There are still great games being made
Ooohh the Arkham series
@@anthonybeam8003 not a fan of most of those games listed. and yea there are some here and there but its just not on a consistent basis.
@@GULLEYMANE Then you really just aren't paying any attention to the indie gaming and AA gaming scenes at all then. There's PLENTY to choose from. Just because AAA is rotting doesn't mean gaming as a whole is.
this game looks objectively better on a CRTV. all these older games looked way better back in the day. They do not translate very well to these modern screens at high resolutions.
This was so refreshing to see after watching another long play where the accuracy was usually under 10% 😂 Thank you for this ace playthrough!
Wow that guy must've sucked, usually the best I can get are silver medals, one one go it's my accuracy, on another it's my speed all of which being off by *1 point* like bruh these games are so strict.
My first ever GameCube game. I was 10
I will get it for my 19th Birthday!!
The gamecube days were great in that it was the only time nintendo really was on par with other consoles.
I had the PS2 Xbox and the Gamecube, they all had their own flagship games but the Star Wars games on the Gamecube were the best of all the consoles of that time period.
I remember these graphics blew my mind when I was a kid.
I still can't believe that they finished the trilogy port for Wii and didn't release it.....or bump the resolution and release it on Switch. I wonder what the hell is wrong with publishers sometimes.
The endurance scenario would have been much more awesome if it was based in battle of Endor scenario, just imagine going throught waves of TIE Fighters and then Star destroyers, all in a constant battle until you perish
I remember playing this at Target when I was a kid. Such nostalgia.
It felt amazing when I finally blew up the Death Star, I was skipping through Target.
Wow.
Truth be told, I had trouble keeping the ties off me, as a Tie Fighter veteran this game plays waaaay differently. Everything moves so much faster and it gets so hectic you can't really make out what's going on.
Maybe will pull it out tonight. 👍
This game was one of the reasons I absolutely loved SW: Rogue One so much. especially the final space battle felt so much like this game. I found Rogue Squadron 2 absolutely immersive, visually and soundwise stunning and also got every gold medal and upgrade back then.
Same. Seeing three x-wings going against a Star Destroyer made me think about this game
i also loved the battle scenes in Rogue One, but it wasn't until watching Andor that the whole thing clicked for me.
let's hope they can do a Rogue Squadron show someday, although, it would be a lot more expensive to make
The Force is strong within you
This game has such a charm to it, really hard to put it into words why
This video just unearthed a childhood memory of this game I didn't even know I had.
insane graphics for a launch title.. Factor 5 were definitely tech wizards.
The graphics of these games were underrated af
yhis and 3 were the best looking game in that era...no ps2 or xbox game looks as good witg all those explosions and effects.
I hated the bespin raid. Took me very long till I knew to blow up the balloons instead of every single turret
Ooooh wow, this game looks wicked awesome and wicked fun, I love it. Just like in the Star Wars Skywalker saga movies, niiiice, I love that a lot.
EU Death Star Assult: Orchestrated planned attack with multi stages using the plans gotten from Kyle Katarn
Disney Death Star Assult: Retconned in a weak spot that apparently made it past to final construction
Lucas Death Star Assault: Don't even bother to retcon the weak spot what point are you even making
that game was way ahead its time on a fantastic console.
The Rogue Squadron books where/are my favorite star wars legends books.
With Wedge Antilles and Corran Horn. And Rogue and Wraith Squadron
Damn I miss the old star wars.
Amen to that
@@fizzelgizzel5521 Amen
This is the game I’ve been searching for! Remember playing this as a kid. Ah I miss those days
I remember when I am playing the Heist mission... I took care of it with more stealth like going to one of the outposts and kill an imperial pilot and swap into a TIE Fighter.

I remember my brother gloating about his new Xbox and how great the graphics were. I bought a Gamecube along with this game and he took the huff for days after I showed him 😂
Awesome
Back in the days I was only able to play Rogue Squadron on N64 with its two different versions. What a time it was to be alive. Factor 5 and Lucas Arts were dream developers. When it came out for GameCube I was in deep hatred for Nintendo, mostly after Perfect Dark dilemma (Nintendo self-destructed internal batteries of some cartridges) so I kept procrastinating Rogue Leader to some other day, but never really played it.
Your play is impressive!
The Empire passes only the top 1 percent of the graduates of their Fighter Corps. Program.
Then explain the TIE Interceptor at 57:16
Le jeu a trés très très bien vieilli jusqu'à aujourd'hui ( 2023), il est encore superbement crédible. Et la profondeur de champs du gameplay en fait un jeu qui n'a jamais été dépassé.
Rien que voir les derniers battlefront ou autre Rogue Squadron de EA ne lui arrive pas à la cheville
🔥🔥🔥💪🎮🎖🏆🏅🥇🏆🏆🏆🕹❤
What do you use to control the game? a Gamecube controller? if so how? (if not, also how?)
Loved this on the cube. Loved how they merged the vid clips into the game when you take over. All crammed on that little cd rom! I still think the console was underrated.
I will get this game for my 19th Birthday this Year!!!!
Best Star Wars Game Ever Made
The G.O.A.T. Star Wars game, imo. This, Bounty Hunter, Jedi Academy, OG Battlefront 2, & Kotor 1 are the top 5.
I hope you see my comment because I just recently got all gold, and I want to let you know you are EXTREMELY good at this game!
Rudy’s Car with Advanced Homing Cluster Missiles = Gold Medal 100%
Razor Rendezvous blew my mind. Always had so much trouble there. Like Legolas taking out a Mumak. hah
This is the whole reason I wanted a GameCube when I was a kid. Fun fact for all of you. There is still a community on squadrons. It’s only dogfight but man is it fun. The wait time is hefty, but when you get a match it’s so fun. Play against AI before you so to brush up . The people that still play it are no friggin joke.
pressing the A button rapidly will destroy enemies faster
One of the best games ever made, and one of the most innovative at the time! It's no wonder my brother loved this when he played it 20 years ago!
I can't believe there are hundreds of games out there that don't match THIS masterpiece!
How was it innovative?
@@fandangobrandango7864L
I remember all about this game. I got all gold medals (minus one my brother had to win it for me) after A LOT of playing. I used the tarjeting computer a lot until I knew where all the enemies came from and used proton torpedoes a lot too. I also got the car who had the super missiles, like the Darth Vader's tie. Lots of fond memorie, like when the first time I used an A wing in the nebula and saw its speed. Out of the world game!
Really awesome game, I played the hell outta this in my early teens.
Great playthrough as well - I was never able to get gold on a few of these missions.
One thing though - you missed the upgrade in the Battle of Endor! After that first star destroyer goes down (the one on the left), you can collect an upgrade by flying up into its docking bay after the ship has come to rest.
Also, the mission where you steal the shuttle has two versions - a night version in the speeder, and a day version in a Y-wing. Which one you get depends on the time of day set in the Gamecube's home menu.
During the night version, you can steal a TIE fighter by taking one of the offshoot valleys at the beginning. You'll come across a barracks and a lone TIE fighter nestled in the valley. Once you fly into this valley, a single pilot comes out of the barracks and runs towards his fighter. If you can shoot the pilot before he reaches the fighter, you can steal it and get perfect stealth throughout the mission until you shoot something or steal the shuttle. If you go on to complete the mission, the TIE fighter is unlocked for future missions. Obviously not a great option if you're trying for a gold medal, but a really cool feature nonetheless.
Great video, thanks for the nostalgia hit!
That first logo was hilarious!
Dude, you are a legend at this.
Here's hoping they'll release the Rogue Squadron Trilogy on Switch
This was the one game that truly made me jealous I got an Xbox instead in 2001, more so than Super Smash Bros Melee
I like how the game's main menu & the mission results after completing a mission has the cut scenes footage from the Star Wars Episode 4,5 & 6 movies just like what the sequel Rebel Strike is
The Golden Era of Star Wars games was a huge part of the golden age of video-games generally. So many good memories.
2:20:15 the first time i saw this scene at a walmart gamecube with lasers everywhere i never forget i thought "omg this is the future we're here", lasers everywhere and shit
So cool! I remember wanting to play this game so bad!! I never had a nintengo game cube though, and this game never came out for PC, I played the first rogue squadron on PC but this looked so much cooler, I even tried to make it run on an emulator to no success.. thanks for uploading pretty much the entire game!! 😁👍👏👏👏👏👏
If you could find a Nintendo Wii, and get your hands on a GameCube Controller and this game, you can enjoy it just like this. If memory serves, I was able to get it going with CEMU for PC. I also managed to get the game on my Wii U with some Homebrew goodness. Ran the game from a SD Card
@@tlev9602 you really went above and beyond there 😱😁👍
They sure don't make em like they used to. "Squadrons" is God awful compared to these older games. I guess that's what happens when you shutter successful studios "because"
12:35 Just take a few seconds to think about the massive nebula you're facing only with your small x-wing. I only want to say "Holly sh.."
Incredible stage
This was the game that made me want a gamecube. For the first time it actually felt like a game captured the battles from the movie. Still looks really good, too.
Hey i played that
I remember the controller felt amazing with this. Hard speed ups and slow downs.
Played it in virgin megastore in 2002 in glasgow. Amazing.
Remember playing this so much that when i went out and about i swear i could still hear tie fighters flying past me
Hehehe who is Luke Skwalker in the voice credits?? Hahahaha Gotta love typos in the end credits sometimes
How did you get the aspect ratio correct? When I set it to 480p it always gets squished, too skinny
This game is better than the Battlefront 1-2 released a few years ago. Change my mind.
7:32 *ignores command, focuses on the guns
Out of all the Star Wars games that have now been remastered, I can’t believe this one has been left stuck on the Gamecube
Why it looks so easy when you are playing it? How know how hard the game is
That’s my first Star Wars game console 22 years ago.
I was 6 when i played this I didn’t know English so it was challenging for me but I loved Star Wars 🩷
Je me souviens graphiquement déjà au top pour l’époque.
I don't know it's me or Games where way better back than
Why do the speeders have a tow cable? In case they get a flat?
when I was a wee lad, I couldnt believe the sheer size and scale of everything, it all felt so overwhelming and cool, like the wrapping of the big walker things, the VERY tight flying in the death star, and the part with darth vader, it just felt so cool
WHY does this game look so good?!
Planet hoth amying at the AT-ST is hard
10:05 (Gasp) Oh boy, you got to dodge Darth Vader's laser shots in this part of the game?!? Oh geeez, I probably would be extremely nervous trying not to get hit and die, that looks tough, wow.
"Orders, Rogue Leader?"
"Retreat so I get more Enemies Destroyed and less Friendlies Lost! I can't get the Gold Medal with you stealing kills and you dying all the time!"
This game needs an HD remaster so bad.
Hmm… is this a capture from original hardware?
If so, that’s a hell of a capture. If not, Dolphin is a hell of an emulator.
feel the power of my proton torpedo lol
This and Zelda twilight Princess were gold for the Gamecube: The Fish Buckets
Look at those fucking graphics. Unbelievable.
Incredible game
It's amazing this is coming from a mini disc. I think the sound is the one thing missing. Is it midi music?
I loved this game’s menu stylization
Platinum medals only!
👍😀 Awesome game play! 🙂 The picture quality is beautiful. 🤔 If you don't mind me asking but what technology do you use to get that level of quality out from your GameCube?
That's how the game looks on a crt. Graphics were quality
@@MJR1117: My apologize for the misunderstanding of my question. The question I was asking is what upscaler does (or did) the UA-camr use to get that top level quality?
🤘
My God the GameCube was so clean
whens the goddamn remaster
1:57 or will kill it
I loved this game
The reason I got the GameCube on launch day
