It's so cool to see that people are still dedicated to this game. I fondly remember spending countless hours flying the campaign and custom missions pretending I was a character in the universe.
Most kids wanted to be Luke Skywalker. When I first played this at 19, even as an adult I wanted to be Ace Azameen. I haven't played this in close to 12 years. I think I need to revisit it again....
Thank God for the Upgrade. I loathed the Cockpit in X-wing alliance. I loved everything else, but the cockpit was its heart. The gameplay and the freedom its soule. And it broke my heart. I never came to accept it. Buy the XWAUP team sure did a grea jobb correcting this! And the game now looks better than the scinematics.
It's truly incredible what all the team has done with this engine. I've only played X-Wing vs TIE Fighter before and one thing I'd really like to do with my friends is to fight a Super Star Destroyer. Can we do that in XWAU?
Yes. XWA is the sequel of XvT. Every crafts present in the prequel game are in this game. XWAU has updated all 3d models: the Super Star Destroyer is one of them.
Looks incredible. Amazing work done on such an old game. Can I just ask, the framerate looks a bit low in the large battle in the video. Is this due to the game engine struggling to keep up, or would a powerful PC/CPU/GPU result in a good FPS and smoother gameplay? Thanks.
An update to the graphics engine was introduced a few months ago, which takes advantage of the power of the GPU. The result is a very good level do FPS even in denser scenarios with more detailed objects. At the time of this video, the update was not yet available.
So by the end of this vid we should admit : Legends is the only TRUE SW and they took a lesson from FS2 Open to actualy UPDATE the game to modern specs and have massive mod support
