@@fancyshoes002 I think my personal favorite from the YT series is the YT-2000. Still has the centered cockpit. Major design flaw having the cockpit on one side with the YT-1300. I mean, it adds to the Falcon's iconic look, but it's in no way practical
One of the things that I prefer about the Rebel Strike, is that they got actual orchestral music for the in-game parts. I do like the synthesized stuff they use in the escape part of the level, but, it cannot be compared to the majesty that is John Williams and the London Symphony Orchestra. I mean, the sythesized stuff always reminds me the original N64 Rogue Squadron.
Well played, definitely one of my favs missions and games from the GC. Flying the falcon is a real challenge. I couldn’t have flown it any better. Wish I could find a partner like this one to team up with on that game. Nicely done
Trip down memory lane here. Man, seeing those flames creep up behind you is so intense. Love the effort that went into the whole interior sequence too, makes you appreciate the true size of the death star when you are max thrusting through those corridors and still the flames are overtaking you. I beat this mission entirely in cockpit mode with the X Wing but wouldn't dare to try it in the Falcon
Bro these games, all 3, were absolute fucking gems and ALL nintendo fans had these games. At least one in the series. They were must have and it's pretty fucking sweet that they stayed as nintendo exclusives considering all the hate we nintendo fans receive and how all developers now days shut us out and dont give us shit. Honestly, pretty nice to see they have never left the big N and hopefully we can get a remastered collection of these 3 games. Switch exclusive of course.
Sort of wish this level was a bit more like the movie, a few other fighters along with you to deal with TIEs and then halfway through the interior, that's when one is shot down and Lando orders the group to split up, thinning out the number of TIEs chasing you.
The YT 1300 was never meant to be a military ship. It's a freighter. What were they thinking taking that ship into the maze of pipes and girders of the Death Star II? That was nuts!
Gamecube star wars games nailed the space battles better than any other star wars games. Wedge was already out of the death star before lando started making his escape lol.
Me playing for the first time "Oh boy, the final run into the Death Star to blow it up once and for a--" *Falcon blows up in a picosecond, mission failure* "...Oh I'm gonna *hate* this mission."
It's just too bad that they restricted it to console, they should've ported all three games to the PC instead of just the first one, we could've had mods and hacks to make it even better but alas.
@Patrick Höing I know but I moved on to PC gaming and wish more console games I enjoyed were on PC, my old consoles are failing to meet the standards of new monitors/tvs and the games still have issues on Dolphin currently. I am allowed to dream, I just want to extend the life of the games and have fun modding them.
Nice! I still can't beat this level in the Falcon. Doing it in an X-wing is hard enough (did still manage it on ace mode though) but the Falcon is just so big it catches on stuff too much.
Something that always bugged me. You're in space. Inside the center of a giant metal ball. There are no poles. ........How the hell do you know which way is North?
I really hate the Millennium Falcon in Rogue Leader; maneuverability is terrible, the secondary weapon sucks, and it makes every mission that much harder. They fixed all these problems in Rebel Strike; unfortunately, the Rebel Strike campaign is terrible, and there's only a few missions where you get to fly the new Falcon. Slave I is even worse; it's unbelievably slow and makes for a big target, and they didn't even fix it in Rebel Strike! All they did was give it a new secondary weapon that actually made it worse. I'd really love to see a new version of Rogue Leader on Xbox One and PS4; an HD remake with all the bonus craft fixed. Use the Rebel Strike version of the Falcon, make Slave I faster and more maneuverable (and give it ION cannons; it's supposed to have them) and replace the TIE Fighter bonus craft with the TIE Bomber from Rebel Strike; it was a lot more fun. Also make it so that ALL secondary weapons regenerate; not just lock-on missiles, proton bombs, and sonic mines.
***** The company that made the games went bust and LucasArts have the licence to Rogue Squadron. Incidentally, it was LucasArts that killed Rogue 4 when it was half complete so I doubt we'll be seeing another game or even remake some time soon. :(
+BucksheeRounds Lucasarts didn't kill Rogue 4, copyright issues regarding Factor 5 trying to make it despite selling the rights to the IP beforehand is what caused it to die.
I can not beat this mission for the life of me! Getting to the enterence is a chore. But it is possible. I have gotten so close! I made it to the last straightaway as the core was exploding. But then Lando slowed down for no friggin reason, and I slammed into the back of him. And the Flames overtook us.
it's pretty obvious that taking turns on old video game is not smooth but I have to say its still better than most Android space games today due to the wide game space
At least it made up with Super Return of the Jedi. The very last part of that game kinda makes it hard to watch and play like it'll hurt your eyes. This one does not.
I died smashing into the pipes like 5 times before I finally found out I can actually shoot them and completed the Death Star run in XWA :P BTW, both X-Wing and Rogue Squadron series rule
Same here, especially when you're trying to escape from the explosions behind you in the Death Star. It was a major pain in the ass that took me a few tries to finally master.
You need to keep eye on the green dot in the radar, and protect the Millennium Falcon from enemies, don't let the Millennium Falcon go far or behind during the first part of the mission.
this level sucks ass big time. one time, ONE TIME, through sheer dumb luck, was i able to beat it. they said they made this game in 9 months- it really shows in this level.
