I loved the series, I remember in X-Wing there was a complete campaign where you start with hit'n'run tactics against some containers (!) and end in an ambush and the first kill of an ISD. This storyline made you feel hopelessly outnumbered and you just stood (flew) there in awe whenever something bigger than a Nebulon B arrived at the battle scene. Your AI wingmen just panicked and ran and so did you, possibly directing all your shield and weapon energy to your engines if you were unfortunate enough to fly a Y-Wing.
Later on you could count on corvettes and cruisers that reinforced your side (though they were always late) and you
felt the tide of the war turning.
I never got that feeling again, maybe because I am older. Or maybe because DX 11.1b support is much more important for a game and story is considered overrated.
- pjgomez 13y agoI loved this series too. I even remember reading this very article back in the day when I was learning about game development. Sometimes when I go to my old room at my parent's house and I see the game boxes in the shelf, I am tempted to install at least one of them and try to get back that feeling you talk about. I never have done it because I know deep down it will never be the same
