PS1 FPS Star Wars: Dark Forces Remaster Lands on PS5, PS4 in February

Played this on my £3,000 (£5,800 in todays money) Pentium 1, 16MB RAM, 1GB HDD and Matrox Millenium II AGP graphics card.

The PC was outdated 3 years later, yet in this day and age people are crying over a 10 year old console not being supported anymore 🤦‍♂️

@TrickyDicky99 Ah yes, the days on the Pentium chips. I will never forget my Dad buying me a 4MB RAM upgrade for my PC, $500 to get it. That much money buys you 128GB today... utterly mind-blowing

Looking forward to that one. Got the original in a drawer with the rest of my ye olde PS1 collection. Not taken it out of the case for years, but still... 😄

Currently playing this on my PC using the Dark Forces Engine Source Port. It does a good job, but sadly the sprite-based artwork doesn’t scale well.

Great soundtrack - especially when piped through the Roland Sound Canvas VA set to SC-88 Pro Mode (the game was composed using the Roland SC-88).

It was one of the first games I remember where the soundtrack would change depending if you were in combat or just exploring.

Damn. Not soon enough! This game was my childhood 💕

Played this a couple years back and really liked it minus the labyrinthine levels. It’s honestly aged better than Jedi Knight.

Alas I was stuck on a 80486DX4 until around 2001 when I got an AMD Thunderbird with 12x the clockspeed. I played Jedi Knight: Dark Forces 2 and Mysteries of the Sith while waiting for Jedi Knight 2: Jedi Outcast, but I don't think I've played this one

I've long lost my love for Star Wars but....gimme gimme gimme!

Love all these classics getting ported to modern consoles.

Probably should have mentioned it’s Nightdive doing this remaster. That alone makes it legit worth looking forward to.

This and rebel assault were a huge part of my childhood. I went from games like alley cat and jump man on the PC JR to this. It was mind blowing. I also learned how to type fast at a young age by opening up the cheat command in game.
