Quick correction from myself. The game used the 'id Tech 3' engine. Not the 'quake engine' as I mentioned in the video. Please do not hate me, internet ;)

Ahhh I stand humbly corrected. I was going off the big claim on the front of the box. But did not take that nuance into account. Thanks for the feedback.
Some id-Tech egine, if I remember correctly (wikipedia said yes). Voyagers inside still look decent but the rest of the game didn't age so well. Elite Force 2 was a huge step up, although it's the same heavily modified engine. STV:EF2 is my pile of shame. I didn't like the story enough to keep playing after STV:EF
EF1 was built on the Quake 2 engine an EF2 was built on the Idtech 3 engine. I remember when it came out because I was big into the modding and RPG scene for EF1 at the time and the stuff you could do on the IDtech 3 engine had so much potential for that stuff. unfortunately the modding and mapping tools for EF2 were terrible and it was very difficult to mod for so it never really got going. I do remember releasing a few beta versions of small RPG maps but that all died off pretty quick and everyone just went back to playing EF1.
nice video. just a few notes from someone who Elite Force when it first came out and for several years after because of the multi-player and RPG mod. the games graphics were dated even when it came out. It was built on the Quake 2 engine and released right as the Quake 3 engine was released so it was outdated from the start. also the multi-player portion of the game called hollomatch went open source about a decade ago and is free to download. it was a lot of fun and there was even a really cool RPG mod built for the game called RPG-X and a lot of custom maps built for it. That kept the game pretty popular for several years after it came out. I remember hopping on and playing with my RPG group into the late 00s. I'm actually still friends with several of the people I met back then and we still hang out and game from time to time just in much newer games.
@@Draknfyre ya you are correct. It was built on the Q2 engine but the Q3 engine came out not long before the game was set to release so they ported it over to the Q3 engine.
@@starkiller18 My dude, no. Quake 3 was released in '99. Elite Force didn't come out until 2000. It's sequel was also one of the very last games to use the Quake 3 engine. I don't know where you got your info that it was ever developed using the Q2 engine, but it wasn't.
@@Draknfyre yes but the game was in development for several years before it came out. I remember reading and following the development. it was originally being build on the Q2 engine and when the Q3 engine was released they ported it over to that engine but it was still using a lot off features from the Q2 engine.
@@bargainbingaymer Ah, OK. But I checked other, unmodded footage, it doesn‘t look as bad. Maybe the other settings were not cranked up to max? The resolution should be around HD, that would be the intended resolution

I love star trek, they got rid of greed, capitalism, social and economic disparity, but man those mini skirts will NEVER die!
The SKANTS are the best thing in Star Trek. Especially the ones the men wore in the early episodes of TNG.
played the hell out of this on ps2. there was a free roam dlc???? man i missed out.
haha you can still play the DLC if you download the GOG version of the game
Also ps2 version (like Half Life) supports usb keyboard and mouse
I played a lot of this back in the day

Jeri Ryan is pretty awesome in person, too 🖖
She is an absolute icon for so many reasons.
Tuvok's thick neck makes him look like Bortus from The Orville.
🤣
Yeah, this game did not use the Quake engine. It used the ID Tech 3 engine used in Quake 3. Pretty far off on that.

Wasnt it built on monolith tech? Could be wrong but its got more a blood 2 vibe than an Unreal vibe
@@GrumpyMunkyGameDesign Apparently it was indeed id Tech 3 - which was also used in Quake 3 (as I have now been informed).

Elite Force II is a far superior game. I've got my copies of both!
I definitely want to give that a go next
@@bargainbingaymer it's worth the time for sure! Too bad we cannot access mutilplayer, it way better than the campaign!
Elite force was better than the show..... whatchya talkin bout willis

Awww that's so great. I love that you have such fond memories. Like I I said in the video, I wish I had the means to play it upon release.
Elite Force did not run on the Quake 2 engine, it ran on the Quake 3 Arena engine. The box literally has the Quake 3 engine logo on it.

Aussie Aussie Aussie!
Oh and...
Gog Gog Gog! (Good store front that)
I only just discovered it. Love it!
@@bargainbingaymer tis good it is. It's how I got all Space Quests for like.... $6
Is my memory tricking me? No way in hell it looked THAT bad. I only play on PCs, so maybe the footage is from a console?!
This was recorded direct from my laptop. It looked a bit yuck at higher resolution.
@@bargainbingaymer Ah, OK. But I checked other, unmodded footage, it doesn‘t look as bad. Maybe the other settings were not cranked up to max? The resolution should be around HD, that would be the intended resolution
It could be the cropping or rendering of my video editor as well
