Between the books and the games, the 90s was such a great time to be a Star Wars fan.

[DoomGuy]

If Nightdive ends up remastering the rest of the Dark Forces/Jedi Knight games, I'll be a very happy boy

[Sicarius]

I hope they remaster Shadows of the Empire like that.

[LorcanWard]

This game being an extension of the films is a perfect description. It has endless homages but it genuinely feels like it takes place in the universe. A better time 😢

[AshXXMayftw]

I tell you what, Nightdive has been one a roll with their remasters and even their System Shock remake. Damn good stuff.

[Jorganti]

@6:30 this! Exactly this! Watching the remastered footage I was thinking ''man, it just looks the same as it always did'' until you showed the quality of the original. Crazy how older graphics are remembered in higher quality than they actually were.

I want Nightdive to remake Dark Forces 2: Jedi Knight (Mysteries of the Sith included) like they remade System Shock

[chuckschwa]

"Paves the way for Jedi Knight"
I really hope so! One of my favorite star wars games

[TheRuinsfate]

You didn't mention how almost every weapon has a secondary fire - the repeater fires all three barrels, the fusion cutter all four in a spread, etc. They were actually pretty useful, increasing damage per hit at the cost of increased ammo consumption. From memory the thermal detonartor also swapped between bouncing a few times or detonating on impact? Both really useful modes.

[blackthorn]

That "yer mum" on the picture of Jabba made me laugh way more than it should have. Definitely my favourite Gman mum joke ever.

[rhone]

Rogue One was a sham. Kyle Katarn is the real hero.

I literally got the email 18 minutes ago that this game was released on Steam and now I get to watch a review for a remaster I didn't know existed just a week ago. Just hope this is a sign that a Tie Fighter remaster is a possibility too.

[Gravinus]

Played this as a kid over and over again. The replay value of games always was how fun they are to play and what they let you experience. So this game letting you run & gun like Doom through the Star Wars universe was all I needed to keep coming back. I still replay it occasionally, so this remaster is a no brainer for me.

[LordKohaegan]

I've never been a big Star Wars fan, but when I got this game for DOS as a kid I was amazed. Everything about the game was great. Dark Forces was definitely one the best FPS of that time. Still the only Star Wars game I love.

[rudolphantler]

Now what they need to do is release a heavily remastered double package of Jedi Knight and Mysteries of the Sith! Those had the best atmosphere by far since Empire Strikes Back!

Although some other remasters I'd also kill for: Dungeon Keeper 2 v1.7+, Vampire the Masquerade Redemption, Metal Fatigue, Revenant, Incubation,
perhaps also: Ground Control + Dark Conspiracy, Need For Speed 4 High Stakes / Road Challange, Black & White series, Thief 1 & 2, Sacrifice

I remember finding the strangest Easter egg in Dark Forces as a kid. On the snow planet (been too long so can't recall if it was Hoth or another snow planet), there is a spot you can crotch and get into a cave that outline Max's head on your map.

[CizCrummy]

My parents were completely against buying me doom II so I got this instead. This brings back so many memories and I’m gonna grab this when I get home! I wasn’t even aware this was being remade, thanks for the video.

[deepwhatever]

Anyone else thinks that a Republic Commando remaster with added co-op would be a great idea?

[Dynamonic]

Nightdive are doing fantastic work in reminding me that there is still hope and joy to be found in gaming! I'm looking forward to checking this out on my Steam Deck, and can't wait to see what they work on next! I'd love to see No One Lives Forever too...and TimeSplitters...and the other Jedi Knight games!

[JoshuaHeald]

I remember playing the sewer level where dianoga (garbage squids) could pop up from sludge pools and attack was terrifying for younger me! *Great Star Wars game!*
