Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3D -PC- All Gold Medals Part 1 (4K 60FPS)

*Special Thanks to skyking1559 for the fantastic thumbnails for this series!*

It's back, and better than ever! Yes, it's Star Wars time again, and this time we're playing through 1998's Rogue Squadron, developed by Factor 5 and LucasArts and released for the Nintendo 64 and PC. For this playthrough, I have elected to use the PC version for higher quality audio and video, though both versions contain almost exactly the same content.

I have quite a bit of memories with this title. In my younger years I often just messed about with the cheats and such but grew to love the campaign's combat and missions, as well as the thrill (and frustration) of going after the gold medals.

This series will be split into five main parts, the first four covering the main four chapters of the story and the last covering the final four bonus missions. I'm still debating whether I'll make an extra video for this series, but we'll see when we get there.

I only ever played the N64 version of this game for a number of years, enjoying this game a lot when it was brand new. Seeing this at such a high resolution and a smooth frame-rate is jaw-dropping to me. 0_0

[masontowe]

The nostalgia on this is one is hitting like a brick wall

[DaveFu]

Every time Luke crashes into something and dies, Vader hears about it and gets mad that Obi-wan was a worse pilot than Jedi Master.

Ok 16:10 was 110% ai fault 😂 excellent gameplay!!

[TheQiuetOne]

Liberation of Gerrard V.... that mission haunted the hell out of me as a kid Y wing: "Don't worry, we're not so helpless" the amount of times I failed because all the Y wings got shot down... I BEG TO DIFFER! It was then when Lair was released for the PS3 (Also done by Factor 5) I had to wonder what was their deal with "PROTECTING" things

Editor's Note: During the premiere of this video, YouTube hadn't finished processing the 4K rendering so it started in 1080p instead. The video will be in 4K after the fact.

I got into a dogfight with a TIE Interceptor with an A-Wing. Damn bastard kept on going vertical on me.

[osets]

Here's a series that could use a remake or at least a remaster

[claudelorey]

Having grown up on the N64 version… this is MIND blowing. I had no idea it was on PC too!

[General_Cap]

For some reason nobody has listed the medal screen jingle anywhere.

[theslicefactor]

How did you get the game to run so well? Mine has that annoying camera bug and the controls pull all the way to the right making the game unplayable.

[MCCrleone]

Can the game be run in 1080p or 2k? 4k is not necessary to me. High FPS greater than 60 are!

[silviofancyboy]

this reminds me of when my dog got bad diarrhea because i accidentally fed her my own diarrhea

[luckyspray]

Rogue Squadron 2 Gold/Ace Medals are much harder

[angrybeard]

Wish the game was playable. only a few buttons on controller work, and can't you can't pause the game or change camera. every time on first mission, the X wing becomes the size of an ant and the crosshairs is all I'm left with.

[megabolt]

Awesome quality!
Now we just need an All Platinum Medal walk-through of Star Wars Episode 1: Battle for Naboo in 3D 60fps and, this man will have provided us the best quality we'll ever get these N64 Star Wars games in since we'll never get the kind of legit remakes we want if them...
