Please remake an old game.

Does anyone here remember the old PC game X-wing vs Tie fighter? IT made piloting a spacecraft seem real I wish they would remake it. Thoughts?

There used to be an amazing funmade graphics update, but I can not remember if it was for XWing vs Tie Fighter or XWing Alliance.

Xwing alliance. I had it. Loved the game. Would be nice to have 64 bit support.

Haven't you heard? There is a group of enthusiasts remastering the X-wing and TIE Fighter games. You can get "modern" versions of the original Special Editions on Good Old Games or Steam, but they have the original graphics engines. I have seen some vids of the remastered graphics project, and they are AMAZING. Man, I am chomping at the bit for these heroes to finish up their work. I am finally going to have a reason to buy a new flightstick and throttle!

I loved that game!

My only gripe was with a few of the missions where you depended on your AI wingmen to just do their freakin' JOBS. Like you're supposed to escort so many shuttles, and combat draws you away from them when suddenly another wave of enemies arrive.

"Ok wingmen, go defend please, kthx!!"

Next thing I know shields are almost gone but I've prevailed, and I'm just in time to watch that ONE shuttle that must survive get blown away.

Great fun tho regardless.

i so badly wanted this thread to be about a rework or new game of jedi academy ):

Hence the reason for a rework. AI could be much smarter now.
