Why I didn't use all upgraded models of the X-Wing Upgrade Project?
Because this video was intended to be about the original game. Never the less, I do include one upgraded model (the SSD) to show that aspects of the game. Another reason is that using upgrade models makes drop fps in my computer (not sure why, because is a new computer).

One of the best little things about this game is that it gave all this backstory to the cruiser Liberty. She's basically your home for the majority of the game, you fight alongside the squadrons aboard her and Commander Kupalo and Commander Zaletta are both notable characters throughout the game. And then you get the cutscene where the Death Star blows up the Liberty...
Oh yeah that really got you going, you really wanted to blow that sucker up after that!
Oh yes, When i saw that the laser blast takes out the liberty, I WANTED TO KILL ALL IMPS BY MYSELF!!!
and i always weep a tear for the Liberty when i watch the movie.
Whoever can make a new game anywhere near as engaging as this can take my money.
Same here. O god I hate EA so much. They can go to hell.
@@starithm Just $2.99 to unlock each star fighter. $9.99 to get the family missions. $7.99 for the training range, $0.99 to re-arm concussion missiles. Do you feel a sense of pride and accomplishment yet?
Starwars Roguesquadron 1, 2, and 3
better
@@TheGlitchXRDR Negative.
@@Johannes9126 Anything you can do here you can do in Roguesquadron games, only with better graphics and better lighting effects everything better.
Played this as a little kid with a flight stick my dad found me. Some of my best childhood memories.
One of the most polished Star Wars games out there, and it's going to be 20 years old soon!
Its one of my favorite SW games, but it is NOT polished, I've ran into so many game breaking bugs in every playthrough, something that never happened in Republic Commandos or BF1&2
Underrated 🗿🗿🗿😣😔😔
20 years later, we're still without a Star Wars space simulator like "X-Wing" or more arcadish like "Rogue Squadron". Hard to believe.
Then, some people say: "Hey, but there are space battles in Battlefront II, right?"
NO, JUST NO.
When EA will release a similar XWA game: "Do you want to flight a Missile Boat? 20 €/month", "Call reinforcements more times in a mission? 2€/call"
just picked up this "old game" on steam and played it for the first time with a joystick, single player campaign is great !
it's like they really don't care about putting love in a SW video game, everything barebone
buy starcitizen
Press Shift + S to call reinforcements for $5.
Ok
There are no reinforcements available
Fuck
well you got your wish (potentially) with Star wars squadrons... I couldnt agree more with your statement and im sure we both hope the new SW plays well
One of the greatest games ever made. 20 years old and it still looks and plays amazing. I've been playing it again last few weeks and man, it sucks you in. I still feel games late 90s early 2000s were the best.
Great movie, my compliments.
Pretty much it was the peak, the last era when games were incredibly polished and complex with immersive gameplay. I love Atari era in the 80s, Amiga era late 80s/early 90s, PC DOS era (early 90s) and PC Windows era late 90s/early 2000s. After LCD monitors became the standard the games started to be garbage...
I've always asked myself why the games industry seemed to completely forget the space flight sims genre.
Games like X-Wing, TIE Fighter, Starfleet Academy and Klingon Academy (just to name a few) were hugely successful at their time, and there's plenty of players out there who would happily give their money for an up-to-date version of these games !
Ever played Colony Wars on playstation? :{
This was the best X-Wing game in the series. The Azameen family should be proud of Ace!
I think the same. X-Wing Alliance have the best graphics and a good campaign. Wasn't perfect, but in my opinion was the best.
@@interlinkknight I missed the cockpits from the older titles, but the overall improvement made this one of my favourites
IMO the best one was Tie Fighter. But of course it's even older, and so the graphics are even worse on todays standards. Alliance takes the second place :)
Yup it was awesome
I mean, if you could upres Tie fighter to modern standards it would have this beaten, but this game was the best thing ever when it came out.
I remember really liking the Azzameen family storyline: the strained ties, divided family members, the last minute evacuation, the correspondence with your siblings.
Memories of turning off collisions and just pinballing my way through the death star....
Hahahhaha! Good one!
There is however ways to get rid of the rubble.. :D
Sadly with Shit Disney and EA we will never see games like this ever again in Star Wars :(
I tried doing the death star 2 missions without any help as a matter of pride, but I just couldn't do it without either getting lost or crashing.
I kept collision, but turned on invincibility... at the second barrel roll I always got stuck somewhere and killed all my companions that bumped my rear
SAME
Loved this game. A true classic! My favorite was the combat simulator where I spent hours making my own space battles with numerous space ships and fighters to choose from!
Game: hit the spacebar to initiate hyperdrive.
Me: So that's why they call it a space bar!!
lmao
wow better than the last jedi movie.
The number of hours I spent on this game when I was younger....
I remember being a daemon in the YT-2000, i used to turn off all laser recharge and max speed and shields then use the auto turrets to engage things. It was glorious, thing was damn near impossible to kill.
Aw, it's so good to watch this again ♥ I'll never get tired of it.
Again, GREAT WORK !
Why can’t we get Star Wars games like this nowdays 😞
EA.
Microtransactions and loot crates.
Squadrons just realesed... and its actually good.
Squadrons is great,its very much a modern Tie Figher with the same game mechanics and ships.
@@Ulyssestnt year later I come back and we got a good game
Revisiting the game with XWAU Project mod. Having a blast - from nostalgia, excitement and that bandit on my 6. The true spirit of Star Wars, a quality game and characters I grew attached to even though I only know their voices. Just amazing.
This game was intense!
" NOW THIS IS PODRACING " 🤣
This and Freespace 2 were the best space sims I have played.
God this was such a good game. I only hope SQUADRONS lives up to it.
Damn I still have the original CDs for this. Good memories.
Thank you for the nice memories. Very well done.
This actually gave me chills at time. Well done. Very well done.
18:58
The Imperial Pilot flying through space qhen the TIE Fighter blows up! 😂😂😂
Nice. Was a good trip down memory lane.
Beautyfull homage to a beautyfull game.
Man with some of the music going I was burning with Fury in both this and X wing vs tie fighter. Felt like on Rebel Assault II
;_; tears in my eyes! That homage gave me goosebumps!
I loved that game and now i experience it again, but in VR!
God i love this game, impressive work putting this all togehter,
Very well done. I had hoped that Rogue One was a franchise reboot to pave way for a new XWing game with the good ol' Ep4-Ep6 time frame.
I am hoping the same, but not sure it will happen
I hope something comes of it. After all, there's something much more compelling about the imperial era than the old republic or first order eras
I loved X-Wing, Tie Fighter, and XVT, but Alliance is above and beyond my favorite. I loved that they were able to weave a fairly interesting and original story into the events unfolding during the GCW. With the new mods from XWAU just damn.
20 years ago. I Buy my first pc with graphic card. And the first game was X-wing Alliance. I just install and run the game so when i Saw the 3d graphics i scream WOOOOWWW and YEEESSSS. Súper fun powerfull game!
By the way, EXCELLENT editing on this video! It was all the important parts I remembered.
Every time i watch this i get chills
I never get tired of watching! :D
Yeah, I know what you mean. Me too.
16:28 Same as the film, Epic!!
That was thrilling! Thanks for the upload-I really enjoyed it
Great video for a great game
I liked the reenactment of the battle of Endor!
Brilliant. Just brilliant 👏👏👏
I played this game a long time ago but had an weird crashing error with the game so I could not finish it. Brought back memories and great editing! It’s too bad that single player games like this no longer exist.
Sure brings lots of memories when I started playing these games on my Pentium 186.
These were one of the first two games we had on our first pentium 100, 25 odd years ago. We didn't even have a sound blaster in there yet, we had to make our PEW PEWs ourselves for a few months!
Holy crap, these are some amazing action scenes for a 20 year old game!
Amazing edit. Thank you.
I found the story in this game more engaging than any of the films after ROTJ tbh.
Wow, this was so good I almost forgot it was a game and I had fun reliving all those battles from the movies.😀🥰👍🏽👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Oh the flood of memories. The graphics are so potato by today's standards, but X-Wing Alliance got so much of that Star Wars gravy just- *chef's kiss*.
The best experience ever
I can tell I played this game way too much as I got angry when the B-Wings at 1:46 fires their torpedoes without taking out the shield generators first 🤦🏻♂️
came here to post exactly the same thing, lol
Excellent editing! I miss this game.
Thank you so much for this! Brings me back! I kinda wish you used the upgraded textures.
:)
I wish that there is a remastered version of this game!!!!! It is one of my favourite Star Wars games!!!!
Yes it exists! Check out xwaupgrade.com. People put thousands of hours into enhancing the 3D models. Install XWA using your old discs or STEAM, then run the free XWA upgrade package. I’m replaying the campaign, it’s great!
Give me this game with today's technology including VR and I'm set for life. :)
VR is included in the XWA Upgrade project. Check Google and you’ll find it. There are a couple of issues with the aiming reticule and field of view, but they’re doing a fantastic job modernizing a 20 year old game. :)
Oh the memories.
Nice flying and directing :D
Thanks
Végig játszottam, nagy élmény volt :)
So many great ship designs that could have been used in canon in the new movies....
the game of my childhood
Very well done
I broke SO many joysticks to this game as a kid, and boy my dad was PISSED! Lolz. All I really did were the simulations but this game is on my top 5 childhood favorites with Ocarina of Time and (If were including my teenage years) the ORIGINAL Battlefront 2 for PC and PS2. Other games on my childhood favorites: Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith, Grim Fandango, and Full Throttle. Hail to the oldschool Lucas arts games. (I know Ocarina of Time is Nintendo, but it was that game and X-Wing Alliance that really sold it for me back then.)
Thanks for sharing your experience. Yeah, this game brings a lot of nostalgic feelings to many of us.
I remember the first time I played this game. It was a demo that came in a gaming magazine. You know, those CDs fill with demos? I played that demo like 100 times. A few years later I had the chance to play the full game. It was the first game from the x-wing series that I ever played.
@@interlinkknight Holy crap. Those were the days. Demo disks in magazines, wooh. But yea, I had so much fun just trying to fly every ship I could in tje simulations, then went to challenge myself against star destroyers. It took me forever, but I can easily say one of my greatest and fondest gaming memories was finally beating the super star destroyer solo. No allied ships, just me and it. I used a Skipray Blastboat loaded to the teeth with proton torpeedoes.
great vid !
This game was freaking awesome. Had all of the action and excitement of the first 2 X-wing games and added an really compelling storyline to it, along with good side characters. A great addition to the EU. An expanded / adapted version of this story could have made an anthology film far better than what we got with Solo.
lol that pilot floating at the very end!
Well done.
18:35 that hanger is incredible.
Thanks. I filled the hangar by myself so don't expect the model to be like that.
1:49 Some KOTOR inspired shots there. Nice :P
So much nostalgia!!!!!!!!!!
nice video !
Oh, how I loved that game! I think some of the ships looked a little strange, compared to the XWing vs Tie Fighter Game. But nonetheless countless hours of good star wars fun!
Yeah I totally agree. Always thought the T/F 'pod' looked really bulbous and the X-wing cockpit was too shallow. Glad someone else noticed.
Best Starwars game ever....
2020 This video is very satisfactory
A new X-Wing or Jedi Knight game would be a nice surprise.
Still hoping to see a "Star Wars: TIE Fighter Empire" game one day...
It will have microtransactions...
You sure you still want it?
A stellar game
new best movie thanks
Hitting you with the ship's red alert on the menu screen is genius
:)
Even if there will now be Star Wars Squadrons, you really need to reimagine your vids with the X-Wing Upgrade Project. It's just necessary! :D
When i installed upgrades to my computer, the game run slow (drop FPS). I had a really hard time dealing with this because of the SSD that i used from the project. The video was about the original game, anyways.
This is an incredible action) I advise you to pay attention to Starlancer and Independence War 2)
And link to the video - how you put waste on Star Wars Squadrons in the toilet
16:58 Pretty sure the "Pressure is steady" guy was supposed to be Ace, since it was the same voice actor who also voiced him in the A-Wing Recon mission
Graphics may have advanced in the last 21 years, but the gameplay and enjoyment factor haven't been beaten yet. No power ups, no different levels of weapons or ships, just here you go, fly it as-is.
Fantastic Game ! Should be reissued and updated
Lol I still remember that first mission with the wannabe Millenium Falcon's
Millenium Falcon itself is a classic yt-1300 commercial ship, very modified. The ships you pilot at the beginning are also modified yt-1300, just way less modified. You can see the difference, because at one point you can pilot the actual Falcon and it has 2 turrets instead of one and has better speed and manoeuvrability.
@@baguettedepain3975 You are correct, it is the Corellian Engineering YT-1300 transport.
Don't get me wrong, Battlefront was cool and all...
...but _this..._
_...this is what made me a man._ lol
XWA was made with passion. Todays games are made for profit! "That is why you fail"
Rebel Fleet (comes out of light speed) : So we just came in blasting.
1:20 just look at how the tie fighters noclip from out of the ceiling there lol
this would look great in the newest version of the x wing alliance upgrade mod
This would actually make a good side Star Wars movie
Sega: (introduces Blast Processing)
X wing Alliance: *PC Blasts apart from Processing*
the movie people really need to set up their scenarios in this game, get real humans to fly the missions, then re-render with better graphics. I've never seen anything to compare with a full on multiplayer mission. Epic
That ship at 12:13 looks alot like the Discovery from 2010 lol
Still better than anything in the Sequels, even with the PS1-lookin' low-polygon ship models.
Remake this game Disney! Wait EA has the contract?
RIP Star Wars.
Yknow I was thinking of trying this same thing, but I can't get as much control of the camera in the film room as I want. Are you using standard film room controls?
...as I said this, I don't think I tried using...my joystick for it, I kept trying to use my mouse.
I used the standard film room controls with my joystick. There was a lot of trial and error to get the camera at the right position.
3:55 I had no idea that star destroyers were made out of giant rocks and logs
A Nice Movie for me...
is this actual game play (using external/internal camera views), just edited? If so, i'm definitely getting this game
99% is real gameplay. There's only a few shots that i cheated with editing magic. If you get this game, install the upgraded models that look much better. I only used 1 upgraded model, the ssd.
fantastic best of, really fucking great!! ....but was the super star destroyer really that detailed? in my memory the "city" on the surface of the SSD wasn't that great in quality
The ssd was the only model from the upgrade project
Well, it's 2021 and we have Squadrons now, which like most of the better bits of Disney Star Wars, feels almost there, but still a tad... off.
This game with XWAU and the mod that uses the voices from the film for the final DS2 battle... it's still great 22 years later.
We need an HD remaster of this for modern hardware. Steam version missions are bugged to hell.
