Finally playing this, being a huge fan of Dark Forces/JK/JK2, and damn what a great game. Excellent pacing, never a dull moment.
Funny how the grunt sound when jumping is the same as in Jedi Knight.
>>
>>12198403
It drops off later on. Suprosa is pretty forgettable and the sewer isn't great. Could have used another concept level, like some kind of computer terminal mini game or something else. Suprosa just is so bland.

I played Hoth, and Skyhook over and over though.

Such concept on a console with so many limitations is criminal. Like watching a bad indie movie

>>12198419
>Suprosa
Agree. It’s forgettable.
>Hoth
It was the standard for a long time. Great level. Echo Base with the wampas wandering around was also pretty fun. Lots of this game felt arcade-like in a good way.
>Skyhook
Same, I played it over and over. Very cool how if you go long enough the star destroyer shows up. Definitely the template that inspired the first rogue squadron game imo.
>>12198440
>Gall
Yes, the level always felt huge. Boba Fett was a notoriously hard boss fight.
>>12198450
>m64 trolling
Ok I’ll bite. No way it’s better. SotE has a much shittier camera and controls than Mario 64, but it’s still a cool game.

It succeeded in conveying the vast scale of star wars settings like how some space port door is like 30 times taller than your character and is in a cliff face that's like infinitely high effectively. The big stuff vs small human felt right

Gall Spaceport is the best level in the game.
>>
>>12199373
It's actually superior to the N64 version though. At least now on STEAM it is, since it recently got patched.
>>
>>12198440
Gall is considered a watershed moment in gaming apparently, specifically that little control tower you have to entire and ride up the elevator in, the fact that it exists entirely within the geometry of the level and doesn't use tricks to load/unload itself while you're inside was a big fucking deal at the time

I really wish they'd try to adapt SotE some day as like a CG movie or something but it really needs to be a mix of of the book and game plots
>>
>>12199320
Not at the same time, it was developed for N64.
Also, I personally prefer the N64 2D cutscenes over the CG ones on PC. They have that classic LucasArts look to them that is simply not there on PC.
>>
Maybe I'll give this one a fair shot some day. I had really bad first impressions because I played it after Dark Forces 2. Not a PC elitist thing, I love the SNES games, but Dark Forces 2 kind of blew this one away. Not exactly fair, it is a newer game competing with a launch title.

>>12198403
Way too hard and labyrinthine. Cheat codes were fun to mess with. Had quite a lot going on for such an early 3D game.

>>12199420
The game plot is so weird, I have no idea why they made you play as Dash the entire game when his role in the plot isn't all that big. It's like making you play as Han Solo in a New Hope game.
>>
>>12199416
Agreed
I never understood why everyone thought the hoth level was the best
>>
What's really cool about Shadows of the Empire for N64 is that there's a secret or two in it that most have never seen. I know this because for a period of one year that is the only game I had.
>>
>>12198403
it truly is great, but i cant believe i couldnt beat it on ez mode as a kid man i was a faggit
>>
>>12199701
To be fair, Jedi mode is pretty cheap. It some levels enemies give you bad looks and you're half dead.
>>
>>12199612
I knew the game focused more on what he was doing during the events of the plot, I just didn't know he was such a cunt in the book. Really everything in the book but the Leia half lusting for lizard dick shit is really good, the Vader stuff in particular
>>
>>12199291
Yeah that is a good point, I think that's why this game and Jedi Knight work so well. They were both made at a time when polygonal 3D was new and everyone was excited about making fuck huge environments just because they could. Going back to this kind of design today, in many cases it makes for games that are boring to go through because of the vast empty field, but in the case of Star Wars games it fits very well.
>>
>>12199612
>It's like making you play as Han Solo in a New Hope game.
??? I would have paid like 300 dollars to play that in the 90s. Luckily Shadows existed and was kind of an acceptable substitute. I mean Dash is the same kind of guy, he just needs to do way less legwork and get his own princess to woo while slacking instead.
>>
>>12198419
>the sewer isn't great

I liked it, but I like sewer levels in general. The level had a nice layout, exploring with the jetpack on all 3 axis, overwater and underwater, some cool machinery and a unique boss fight (not recycled from Dark Forces like Boba Fett)

Lucas didn't even have any creative input whatsoever for those games. He only saw Dark Forces when it was finished and it was the first game they made; and then made a comment about how he regretted that it's all so violent and only about shooting stuff, the kind of comments someone who doesn't know shit about video games would say.
Lucasart was just an investment for him, they call it lateral expansion: diversify in nearby fields. He left the actual game making to game makers and that was for the best (though to be fair most devs in Lucasart came out of nowhere and didn't have game dev backgrounds, level designers in Dark Forces were picked from an architect school).

I need to emulate it. My N64's audio kicked the bucket just over a year ago when I was finishing Battle for Naboo, and I haven't been able to justify paying for a repair (yet).

All of the licensed Star Wars games for N64 kick ass. Shadows of The Empire seemed like the weakest one as I played through the first two levels, but even then, I was enjoying the experience.
>>

Didn't Lucas make dumbass suggestions at the last minute on a bunch of Star Wars related media that had to be shoehorned at the last minute because his word was final?

Jedi mode is basically "everything dies in one or two hots, including you". Many levels are easier on Jedi than on hard.

The tie-in comic book is the best version, it focuses heavily on Boba Fett and Vader.

I know how, and I think I know what the issue is. Just don't have the space or tools right now, and my young kids keep me busy for most of my time not spent at work or sleeping. Don't think I would be happy with the quality of the job if I attempted it right now, but I'm also not fond of trusting a rando with it. So I've done nothing.

Emulation has given me a lot more flexibility in how I engage with the hobby anyway. If you never know how long your gaming session will be, save states are a lifesaver.
>>
>>12200059
You can trap Boba Fett (and get an extra message from Leebo), and you can destroy the Star Destroyer at the end of the game on easy mode. I've damaged it to the low 90s, but programmers confirmed that it can be blown up. It took me hours to do just that, so....

Man why does this game get shit on so much? It has so many memorable levels, sure other games might've refined the ideas later on and these ones might not have aged perfectly but at the time the controls were fine and nothing beats the experienc of doing Hoth for the first time even ir Rogue Squadron played better, it was "oh yeah I've done it before". Swithcing between third person and first person was so great, the enemies, I felt like I was playing a star wars movie.
I loved the boba fett level, and the sewer level despite it being confusing as fuck. the speeder level was so fun as well. Having a jetpack was so fun and it wasn't until bounty hunter next gen when they did it again.
>>
>>12200689
>Man why does this game get shit on so much?
It doesn't, at least not the N64 version. People just acknowledge that it was early as fuck and the on-foot controls could be better but it's Hoth level pretty much set the standard for SW games going forward. It's the PC version that gets shit on, mainly due to abysmal compatibility issues until very recently and the fact that the cutscenes and voices aged like shit, but not the game itself
>>
>>12200228
Vader's whole thing in the book lets him still be an evil fuck while letting you cheer for him while he puts up with Sheev's annual performance review bullshit, so fucking satisfying when he finally nails Xizor's ass to the wall so hard he more or less helps the rebels escape because he wants to kill him that fucking badly

Is the analog aiming / vehicle driving better, worse, or similar in the PC version?

That and the other bikers don't actually go full speed the whole time. Their speed matches your own to some degree. So you can take it slow to crush them all early.

Shadows of the Empire was putting out a higher standard for Star Wars games then the other Star Wars games at the time. People forget that it was actually pretty well received and considered a big step up compared to what was around then.

The team behind SotE had to fight hard to have (very downsampled) .mp3 excerpts from both the original trilogy soundtrack (that loop in the menu, from the full ESB intro, right after Luke gets rekt by the Wampa comes to mind) to the soundtrack from the multimedia project that was SotE (Mos Eisley, Skyhook, Sewers, Xizor's Palace and Skyhook battle) instead of MIDI music (like in Rogue Squadron). Shame the N64 didn't have a dedicated sound chip, like the SNES, which allowed the Super Star Wars trilogy to have awesome music (and a certain Jurassic Park game to have awesome elevator music).
>>
>>12200584
Gave us the best train loop ever. When the level starts, let the jingle play and it fits perfectly with the notes of the "Hyperspace" loop. And, in reference to >>12199291
going under that wrecked Star Destroyer really gave a sense of scale.
>>
>>12201742
Dark Forces was an influencial masterpiece, probably more so than SotE. Games like Duke Nukem 3D owe so much to DF that I couldn't possibly list everything even if I replayed both games and made a fucking 2 hours youtube essay about it.
That review is from the point of reviewing a console port in 1997 and things evolved very quickly back then.

With that said SotE is probably more influencial than we realize too, take the aiming for instance, the way you can hold a button for precise manual aiming without character movement which would become the standard for Goldeneye/Medal of Honor, or the way aiming auto centers when you let go of the analog stick which other N64 games like Banjo Tooie would also do. Level design was also a precursor of the "fuck huge" levels that would quickly become standard in the industry
>>
>>12198403
It's better than it had any right to be, but it also really coulda have used another round or 2 of polish.
Even by 64 standards this game is jank, but it's got soul and some pretty good high moments. Does feel a bit front ended too though

That "Doom game"-hating tendie reviewer even admits he liked the the PC version of Dark Forces.
>>
>>12202402
>it also really coulda have used another round or 2 of polish.
Easy to say in hindsight.
In reality, Shadows of the Empire was one of only eight N64 games released in North America in time for the 1996 Christmas season, and the only "adventure" type action game. (Mario, Pilotwings, two fighters, two racers, and hockey).
>>
>>12201841
PC only types have always been a sad and miserable lot.
>>
>>12202013
>Dark Forces was an influencial masterpiece
It was a Doom clone with Star Wars paint. Doom would be the influential game in this case.
>>12202402
>Even by 64 standards this game is jank
It was one of the earliest titles for the N64. Are you really expecting it to be better than everything that came after it. Case in point...
>coulda have used another round or 2 of polish.
...that polish was called Rogue Squadron and it was phenomenal. It is definitely a better game than Shadows of the Empire, but without Shadows coming along first, there is no Rogue Squadron.
>>
>>12198403
Great game. The PC version had a tons of fmvs while the N64 just got the usual still images. With all the romhacking and modding going on in the n64 community, I wonder how hard it would be to put those movies back in for summercart/everdrive users as like a DD rom. I’m surprised nobody’s done it yet
>>
>>12202871
The PC version doesn't have cool live action FMVs like Dark Forces 2, it has ridiculous, low effort cgi nonsense. The N64's stylish cards are superior.
>>
>>12202872
Well of course it’s bad cgi circa 96, but it’s not really lower effort than the cards.

It seems to me like the cgi videos were the dev intended way of telling the story and the cards were a compromise that had to be made due to tech limitations. But they turned out ok. I just think it sounds like a somewhat interesting, doable project.

No, Disney Wars really sucks. At least, it did up through TLJ and I haven't consumed a single Disney Star Wars product since 2018 (and I only watched TLJ and Solo to see the train wrecks for myself).

The EU was hit or miss, it wasn't all great. And some of the cameos and movie references could be cringe (see >>12199485).
But it was infinitely better than the Disney garbage. Dash Rendar is a solid character both in conception and visually, and his adventures integrate pretty well into the OT timeline.

The prequels were kind of a mixed bag in this regard. They replaced a whole bunch of EU lore with rather mediocre alternatives. But the prequels did give Star Wars a bunch of new ideas and aesthetics to work with.
>>
>>12203294
>They replaced a whole bunch of EU lore with rather mediocre alternatives.
The irony is that in the end, they just ripped off everything from the EU anyway.
>>12203243
It did have a lot of cool stuff. It also had some trash, but there was a lot of options, so you were able to pick and choose pretty easily. Thrawn, Rogue Squadron, and Shadows of the Empire are generally all regarded as very solid books.

>>12198403
It did some heavy lifting for the N64. It was pretty much ubiquitous and could hold its own if you didn't have other games.

>>12201536
I did notice this. But it's still shitty for me because the only analog pad I have is really bad and in that level to gain enough speed to get some of the challenges you need precision steering, hence my question about whether it's good in the PC version. If it's possible to steer with the mouse that'd make it better for me.

Some of the bike jumps are pretty shitty especially considering tiny bumps in the road slow you down a lot so if you're not coming in perfectly you won't make it. Unless the bike has a jump function that I missed somehow.

Nintendo's big innovation was putting an analog stick on the gamepad and selling it with Mario 64. Everything else they take credit for in 5th gen is downstream of that. You can even see that PC review up in the thread talking about how sote with a PC gamepad just doesn't work like the n64 vers.

Retard.
I you aren't telling me anything I don't know already. Unlike you, I was old enough to play most of those when they were in their prime. I'm neither a tendie or a mindbroken hater. One of my favorite games of all time (X-Wing, 1993) was designed for an analog stick.

But Nintendo made the analog stick viable for 3d console games. They made it standard hardware at the time when it actually mattered (late 90s). And, they made the perfect game to show off its utility in universally accessible platforming (sm64).

If your argument wasn't retarded, the Playstation would have shipped with an analog stick from the start. But they didn't, until after Nintendo showed devs how to use it properly. And even then, PSX devs couldn't guarantee their audience would have analog controllers, so few embraced it until very late in the era. That any ancient consoles in a bygone era shipped an analog stick means absolutely nothing.

3) Pretty much every counterpoint to Nintendo on this list, is terrible. The Bally Professional Arcade of 1978... as if anyone has ever heard of that. To further the point, if it was so innovative, why did it take over 15 years to be copied? It was only once it was used with the N64 that it became a selling point, and was copied by the Sega Dreamcast and Xbox.
The MB Microvision of 1979, again, irrelevant. If it had been good, it would have succeeded. The Gameboy was high quality, a good product, and hence highly demanded and successful.
I could do this for every single item on your little infographic, but why bother.

It sure does pal, but you're the one that has it. Get some actual therapy about why you're so assblasted about the existence of Nintendo.

Stop projecting your own obsessions on to others. Nobody else here cares about your the console war in your head. Until you showed up, the topic was STAR WARS and it was a good topic.
Now begone. I'll waste no more time on you.

Stop enabling Nintendo.

What the fuck is this fag's problem? It's a videogame thread but he wants to make it into another console war thread.
What a shitter.

As long as jannies and mods keep deciding to not do their jobs because they've become afraid of retaliation, all it takes is one person to ruin a board like this. He sees one (1) thread that isn't shitposting so he must try to ruin it, and I wouldn't be surprised if the only person that took the bait was him samefagging in desperation. If you look at the shittiest most obvious bait threads on the board, you'll notice that some of them have new posts every 1-2 mins when they get created.
>>
>>12208954
Wasn't samefagging. I genuinely think Nintendo deserves credit for the N64's analog stick. Have different opinions on various other parts of that picture but stopped posting after one reply to avoid further derailment. At least two other anons also responded.

For what it's worth, though, crying to mods about the slightest hint of bait is crybaby behavior. If enough honest anons keep the topic focused, that works fine. Power-tripping speech police butting into heated discussions are just as bad as trolls.

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire was designed to resemble a Nintendo 64 console.
>This in-game object is specifically the Suprosa computer on the Imperial Freighter Suprosa level. The developers at LucasArts included this as an Easter egg or in-joke, modeling the in-game computer console after the physical appearance of the N64 console itself.

Play the game you idiot. This thing only shows itself after you fight the silly rock'em sock'em robot so this "at a distance" footnote on the wiki is total nonsense. You never see it at a distance and maybe the doors can be seen as a cartridge if you squint your eyes.

>>12213936
I've played the game more than anyone outside of the devs, you rude fucking asshole.
If YOU played the game you'd see the resemblance, but you won't because you're a stupid fucking asshole who should die.
Honestly, McFucking kys bitch.

People hate you. Did you know that? Everyone that has ever met you in real life wishes you would get some dream disease.
Just thought I'd clue you in, you bald far retard.

Sorry, everyone else for legit getting mad, but something has to done. Hopefully Asshole Anon just breaks his PC and leaves everyone alone.

>>12214028
I linked to an official website that proves it. I also have it in several magazines from the time that you never read or know of, jeet.
And if you played the game, you'd know that it IS shown from a distance when the boss fight begins and that you can look at it from any angle after you beat the boss.
>>
>>12214030
You posted a fan wiki.

That happens to be correct. I'm not fucking scanning or taking a pic of my magazines just so you can play retarded some more. Maybe you should kys afterall. You're very unpleasant.

M8 the wiki doesn't have pics anymore and the sources it sites only references itself when clicked, which also doesn't have any pics on those pages. The very picture from this post >>12213847 comes from the wiki and is the only picture of the terminal.

"Take my word for it," is about the summary of your entire stance when you aren't getting pissy for being questioned.

>>12214064
Now you are being retarded. What attempt at shaming? Where would you even get that anywhere from what I said? You claim to prove me wrong but you didn't even realize I got my pic from your own source until I pointed that out.

You didn't even bother to check.

Anon, I'm going to say this one last time.
Play the game. Find the old guides.
And life advice: not everything is a game (ironically). Stop trying to "win" arguments that you "lost". The fact is that you are wrong.
You may even know you are wrong and are cynically wasting my time because it gets you off.
Whatever the case, I should not care. At least I didn't lie and say:
>LOL I wuznt mad!
But man, freaks like you harsh my classic gaming buzz. But I digress. What I want from you is nothing. What I suggest you actually do, is leave, then play the game and research it until you know everything there is to know about it, then come back and try to chat with the likes of me.
>>
>>12214084
What a waste of time to read. You are still not posting pics of it "at the right angle" and still claiming it is totally there. You don't deserve to be trusted when you cannot even do such a simple request.
>>
>>12214092
Listen, you, I'm not playing the game just for you so that you can go:
>Ehhh still duzznt loog lyg it

Fuck off. Remember, people hate you.
>>
>>12214093
You play the game for fun anyways so it shouldn't be some soul raping experience to record your playthrough and take frame out.

>Remember, people hate you.
Some people in the world I never met personally don't like me and even hate me. The sky is blue and water is wet. Boo-fucking-hoo.
>>
>>12214098
People utterly despise you. They are filled with dread at the thought of having to interact with you even for mere seconds of their day.
You're a dime a dozen. If I play the game and produce exactly what I describe, you'll say that:
>yu faked it
or
>it loogs nudding lyg it *picks butt and eats it*

It's like you think that there aren't others who have experienced online life before.

Now you are just making up excuses to not do it while you seethe. Forgetting that if my posts were actually Troll bait then you are already feeding me.
>>
>>12214113
Haha I knew you couldn't help yourself. And people know that you're legit upset now. Good jorb.
The lesson here is this (on the outside chance you're not just buttcrust trolling): be nice.
BE NICE and then maybe people will do what you want.
I got the cart and an N64 and CRTs up the ass, but I'm not booting it up because I wasn't going to anyway tonight, and YOU are an asshole.
>>
>>12214124
Be nice?

From your very first response to me being rude and being surprised I'd be rude right back and you losing it over this "disrespect" the only take away here is that you cannot handle being called out for talking out of your ass this whole time.
>>
>>12214137
You are legit mentally ill. My first two responses to you were perfectly professional. You're a joke. You're either intentionally trolling, or you are really are a pathetic lowlife who doesn't realize how insufferable they are with their insecurities going around gas lighting people (like you are attempting to do to me btw).

Fuck off. Play the game and never come back.

No, that's you. You started shit for no reason. You're a bad person who was raised by a single mother most likely, or your dad is weak.

This is what happens when parents don't love their children and read to them and show them the light of God, they come to /vr/ and start shit because they feel the need to "win" something over on someone and it does not matter if they're wrong, they just want their drama fix.
They're drama queens and I wish they would stay offline.

Well it was indeed a hack, but the fact that absolutely nothing has changed since then (and things have gotten worse in many places, like this board, because jannies left from being doxxed) shows this place is truly dead and will continue only to hit lower and lower rock bottoms

Is it really recycling if Boba Fett is a boss battle in multiple Star Wars games? He is one of the most popular OT characters.

oh dear. i wanted to post a pic of the computer and say i couldn't see the n64, but wasn't allowed to attach 'upload in incognito mode' so i thought i know i'll write 'fake trivia' to get someone to explain, and now i come back to sixty posts of agony lmao. anyway, >>12214176
ah, thanks i see it now
>>
>>12198403
I love the fuck outta this game. My only complaint is the last level. It should have been a long on foot shooting mission not a lame space shooter level.
>>
>>12215446
The final level is spectacular.
>>
>>12215449
Its okay but not final level material.
>>
>>12215451
Subjective tastes to be fair.
>>
>>12215446
You kinda have that with the penultimate level and its 3 forms boss
>>
I played the whole game without knowing there is a strafe button
>>
>>12215446
It's one of the best levels along with battle of hoth.
>>
>>12215514
That's fair, it is useful in some cases but most of the shooting is about positionning and timing in a way that the strafing isn't that necessary
>>
>>12200232
>Just don't have the space or tools right now, and my young kids keep me busy for most of my time not spent at work or sleeping
I've never understood this problem. Just tell your kids to fuck off. I see so many dads who "can't find the time" because of their kids, yet they don't tell their kids to fuck off when they need time. If my dad was busy with something, he told me to wait on whatever nonsense I wanted to tell him until he was done. And it was never a problem, I just did something else or played with my toys or whatever.

The kids have a mom, tell her to do her job
>>
>>12217747
LOL nta, but no. Huge LOL on that one.
He will get fuckin divorced-raped if he starts neglecting this children just so he can fix what his wife views as useless ancient technology that she doesn't understand nor have any desire to understand.

Not even married, but shit so much in life has kept me from a simple soldering job--and I got the space!
