    I would so badly wish they would do the same for X-Wing. I mean like 95% of the assets must already be available... that's like... a little bit of the work already done lol Honestly the issue with Star Wars as an IP is that any developer that gets the right to make a game for it wants a blockbuster title. They aren't content on just making a good game that will ship like 3 million copies. Yes there are other Space Sims... but eveything these days are free roaming open world games. I miss a good focused Military Space Sim like Freespace2 or Starlancer or X-Wing Series.

    If only the Concourse shown here was kept for the Classic version. The new one should at the very least fit the Reimagined versions. Hmm, any chance we'll get TFTC+XWAU options (if not just render them exclusive to the Classic version) to change our cockpits back to high fidelity versions of the ones used in the original TF and XW? The new ones are nice, but they can feel a bit too advanced for someone who's very into the old ones. Multiplayer is nice, but I sure hope it becomes big and ready made enough to even make it to the big leagues of E-gaming. Not even X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter ever did that due to limitations. Would deffo love a loose ends tying up, fully voiced, and expertly scripted fan expansion pack for XWAU, particularly getting inspiration from the FreeSpace modding community and their success stories with Silent Threat: Reborn (up to the point that I actually deem this game as part of the FS1, Operation Templar, and FS2 official canon), Derelict, and, though a bit incomplete, Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius and War in Heaven.

    Aside from alpha/beta testing, I recorded the remastered soundtrack. I did music editing and mixing for the classic soundtracks. I was also responsible for the production behind all briefing lines and in-flight radio messages. In addition to this I remastered the cutscenes. It was a lot of work, but it was totally worth it in the end.

    The 1.2 patch is still at "when it's ready" status, but it shouldn't be much longer now! As for Linux support, that came about as a result of me pestering the kind gent who did the Lutris script for XWAU. We've been trying to get the video playback to work but to no avail so far. Something just isn't playing right codec-wise.

    Somebody tell me how the new mechanics work out in practice. XWA blaster shots travel a lot faster, plus enemy aim works differently, plus with things like decoys it's much harsher on unshielded craft. I would assume missions like the one where you get betrayed (and one of the subgoals is to clear out a minefield in a T/I), which were already difficult in the original, are drastically harder in XWA.

    The flight system wasn't that bad, though drifting always feels weird to me. It's the story that disappointed me. Felt more like Titanfall 1 and less like Ace Combat/Project Wingman. Same with the music, which should have taken some original cues from TIE Fighter the game (especially the CD-ROM version) and fanmade animesque short film.

    Reason to play the orginal TF is mostly the sound, voices and music, e.g. the midi music was part of the missions when things happen (like a Star Destroyer entering the system, which the orchestra didn't bother to care about, just same bland SW music all over). Hopefully this "remaster" still has the same feeling, but with the new upgraded graphic, and conent. Also, really didn't like Alliance that much either, quite boring missions.

The new Jedi Survivor game interests me a lot too (I managed to play Fallen Order, albeit over a long period) and if it hits a real low price and can play on older systems (I don’t have the newest system) I’d maybe try that.
