Experience the classic adventure anew with Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster, launching Feb 28, 2024, on all major platforms with enhanced visuals and gameplay.
The Dark Forces / Jedi Knight series was a pivotal moment in the Star Wars gaming franchise. Released between 1995 and 2003, the games brought new stories and characters to the Star Wars universe, all while revolutionizing the first-person shooter genre.
These games are crazy nostalgic for me… those FMVs… I can almost smell the computer room in my house growing up.
A classic Star Wars shooter has received a substantial overhaul thanks to The Force Engine, a fan project three years in the making.
I love seeing things like this.
I didn't have a proper gaming PC growing up, so I missed out on the badass 90s/early 2000s gaming scene.
It's a blast going back and experiencing these classics. Let alone everything the mod scene has been doing for them.
Oh, I have.
One of the first things I bought was the Star Wars bundle they had on a sale on Steam. Basically every legacy Star Wars game on PC, up to Kotor 2, was in it.
Not to mention I also got to play it on Xbox when I was at my cousin's place as a kid.
ThIs game is a true gem of the 90's! Very fond memories of playing Dark Forces over at a friends house, on a reasonsble good PC at the time as well! So good! Beat the PlayStation version a few years back as well, which was a interesting port! Will definitely look into this project at some point in time!
The demo is a real Katarn-up for the books.
This is how you do it if EA and ILM won't.
But the video size is off for this post unless it's my phone.
Thank you again NIGHTDIVE for making a remaster of one my favorite PS1 games Darlk Forces ! definitely buying this on day one . Even John Romero had given Dark Forces high praise back in the 90s .
Let's get remakes/remasters of the Jedi Knight series and some more sequels to that franchise too.
