The inspiration for this was project blackwing a imperial virus that went horribly wrong abroad an imperial prison ship (which sadly only about 5 people made it out alive the rest were either infected or eaten and the virus never made it out because the infection needed to stay close to the main source of the virus otherwise the current host/vessel dies)

Death Troopers is an old and awesome Star Wars novel! 10/10 would recommend!

I would absolutely love an R-rated horror film in the Star Wars universe. There's so much potential there!

This genuinely has potential, I only wish It was slightly more lore friendly. Using the plot of say Dathomir and the Nightsisters as the cause. Could even be as simple as the Nightsisters growing tired of the imperial reign and decided to strike back.

What do you mean “more lore friendly”, these zombie troopers or “death troopers” are created from an imperial virus meant for the death trooper super solider program. Hints of this can be found in the books (there’s two books about this virus), map details in the original battlefront 2 regarding dark troopers, and project black wing, the virus, was apart of the death trooper program. You know. Krennicks death troopers? Yea those guys, who are actually in the movies? Tf you mean “more lore friendly”

Dude I READ THOSE BOOKS growing up! Deathtroopers in 2009, and a couple years later: Red Harvest. Those are some of my favorite books, they keep you on the edge of your seat and I absolutely loved them. Loved seeing this ohmage to them, would love a full on Deathtroopers game set in that universe. If you loved Dead Space, you will love Deathtroopers, I might pick them up on audio just to re-experience them.

The amount of crazy bullshit in the Star Wars universe, I don't know why they haven't done more horror. Even just the "survive the night against ewoks" game mode showed the potential. Hell, they have the Rakghouls among other thing.

Death Trooper audiobook right here

Raindrops are falling upside down! Very cool👍

first ever recording of a Stormtrooper hitting his shots

So, for some information, the game seems to be a sequel to the Death Trooper book, as the ships mentioned in one of the droid's narrations is called the Purge. This is the prisoner ship that docked with the Zombie Star Destroyer in the Death Trooper Book, and led to Zombie Wookies as Jack was speculating.

If you'd like to see another indie game, check out Angels Fall First. It's early access but is a fully working game and while it has taken them a long time, they are still developing it. 64 player infantry and space combat. Can play with others, but also playable fully offline with bots. General consensus is that this game never got the attention it deserved.

This is like a Star Wars version of Dead Space

The original game was an indie game called "Cargo" it was about a TV headed monster infesting the ship or smth like that.

Hey Jack great vid mate keep it up, this game is awesome!

A classic fan fiction that became a novel, very scary story and a decent read

this looks dope af omg i hope the full game comes out soon

cannon wise zombies are in fact a thing in star wars.

These games are genuinely so cool!

I see you're explorting the derilict ship Vector, good luck enjoying the sickness. Complimetns of project blackwing

Great find! My son will enjoy this as he is a huge Star Wars fan.

I remember there was an official Star Wars mobile game Clash of Clans like game back in the day and it had zombies

Made me scream and jump at times, glad it was you and not me playing this thing

Everyone streaming Grayzone Warfare, meanwhile Jack:

I'm too much of a wuss to play horror games, but I'm happy to watch you play it. It looks intriguing and I wish the developer every success 🙂

I instantly recognized that little beep sound effect from the Jedi Knight series from way back.

This is exactly what I expected. Near perfect.

Undead Darth Vadar.... Even Palpatine would Cower in fear of such a possibility.

It has been done, but not in the world of zombies. The Ewok hunt is absolutely terrifying.

12:39 that og SWBF2 sound effect tho gotta love it! Oh man there's a lot of swbf2 stuff.

Wow, this is the first time I see a Stormtrooper actually hitting something!

No matter what you do with Star Wars you can't change the fact that people are running around in plastic armour fighting teddy bears and scottish terrier bigfoots.

Something Disney would never allow with their hostage of a franchise but in another universe I imagine it would've happened.

Aren't the TIE-fighter troopers supposed to have black armor? Or did that trooper steal that ship? Lore plot thickens

@MLPIceberg

Ай бұрын

I'd assume he stole that TIE-Fighter. But you're right, typically they'd be in a black pilot suit. Assuming with how damaged it was when it was floating in space, he likely escaped a space station that was also infected. Likely others sacrificed themselves to make sure this trooper left to find help. But that's my speculation.

@nisoro.

Ай бұрын

I was thinking the same thing when the trooper emerged. Then I considered that it might have been related to the first game and that trooper escaped.

This is something a big developer needs to take advantage of

This is horror for real - stormtrooper who actually hits his targets is terrifying

What a cool concept.

I believe this is actually based of a cannon story in the Star Wars universe. I vaguely remember a comic or novel describing a zombie like virus infecting a star destroyer and Han Solo infiltrating it. I can’t quite remember

pretty sure this game is based upon the "Death Troopers" novel, in which an imperial experimant gains sentience and infects an entire destroyer with a black, ink-like liquid which serves to connect them bodies to a hive mind type consciousness

I've read Deathtroopers, it's a phenomenal book! Always wondered if they'd ever turn it into a game or movie.

Imagine a full fletched game where there's multiple levels trying to escape the death star (or a ship maybe) and last level timed since it's going to blow up. Then you land on Endor and have to survive the Ewoks who slowly shows up. You can also find other stormtroopers. Make them human, give them backstories, have one tell you he had to join to provide for his family. Get rescued by The Empire with just 1 other of your teammates surviving (the one with family) Later you are invading Kashyyk or something. With that mate on team yes. It all goes wrong, The Empire was too greedy with ressources. You get isolated from squad and captured. The rebels interrogate you. You explain you were forced into The Empire. You get put into jail, some cutscenes will play of you getting jobs. Sweeping floors long nights.... But then more and more included you become. You smile to the Rebels as you are serving food, no longer being watched. You get your own place to live and freedom. You enjoy the friendlyness of the Rebels and realise they are right.... Then The Empire blows your base up, some of the new friends you've made dies. You are recruited into the army to save the base from The Empire. Then you go into missions as the rebels. You become a respected soldier. More gear and abilities unlock yada yada. (Maybe you are force sensitive too and Luke notices? Could be a concept.) You become a high ranking and respected officer. Until eventually you stand face to face with your old Stormtrooper friend who you got separated with before your capture.... He changed and says you are now his enemy, being brainwashed by The Empires ideology.... He removes his helmet, both emotional yada yada Either you have to kill him, or the game could end by him killing you.... I really just want devs to make a nice Star Wars thing. Humanising Stormtroopers seems popular (okay also some hate it).... Game could still work without the human thing, but I kinda want a good story too.

@jonasdj2950

Ай бұрын

If you really want to give fan service it could be Leia who captures and spares you since she sees good in you. R2D2/C3PO could become helpers OR just NPCs at Rebel base. Luke could teach you or there could be a level where you are the only rebel alive to assist Luke, you have to help him fight, infiltrate with him etc. you have tech skills he doesn't, you can open doors, you can coordinate with him. You can hack terminals and make distractions. Many possibilities.... If going with force sensitive you could straight up just be an apprentice too lol. Have Han as a vendor at base to sell smuggled goods. Lando can help make your base grown and improve your income Chewbacca could be another playerable character in a DLC where you fight for the other side. Or maybe a teammate? I just feel like too little is being done with this IP. The game could also be COOP lol. No reason not to. Could even have a lil multiplier if you are going to make fully fletched weapons and gadgets too.

We already (kinda) have a star wars Horror game. Its called Star wars Republic Commando. The Ship mission was scarry.😶😶😶😶

The cover for the book this is based on gave me nightmares as a kid

I love this! So awesome and i cant believe it hasnt been done! Really excited to see zombie ewoks and wookies 🤣💀

this gives me serious death troopers novel vibes

It's a fan game based on the book Deathtroopers. I definitely recommend a read.

How does the dev not get slapped with copyright issues?

DeadSpace with a starwars skin

Got to say it - I'm impressed.

Man the endor at night mission was horror In itself

Ewok Hunt was already a horror mode

I love the slowed style because if EA were to make a Dead Space spiritual successor in the Star Wars universe, it honestly could have been fantastic if it were based on Death Troopers. Just seeing the intro to the demo for the second game with the crash-landed stormtrooper makes me hope the dev(s) get to make a game like this even if they aren't able to make a full-priced Star Wars game due to legal reasons.

Ah got to love slow mo in games. Think they missed a trick though, think how terrifying it would be to be the lone survivor being hunted by hundreds of just normal ewoks. Dropping logs and boulders on you from nowhere, pit traps, and wild beasts. Being swarmed by ewoks with knives. Though I guess you could kill an ewok in a second, just kick its face off.

There’s a book called Death Troopers that is pretty much this game but it’s Han Solo and Chewbacca, iirc, who find the infested Star destroyer ship

Star wars mixed with system shock would be an amazing idea

This was terrific

The body at the end of the first round gave me Texas chainsaw massacre in space vibes

I'm a huge fan of your channel. I just saw that you've tried Destiny 2 and I loved your review of it. That's my game of choice right now. Love to see more of it and you testing out the PVP side of it and what your honest thoughts of it. Especially Gambit. I don't take part in the crucible part because of the way noobs like me are put up against sweats.

Reminds me of the spooky mission in Republic Commando :D

This looks awesome! Ewok hunt on nightmare fuel lol

The mighty heel of the Empire will mercilessly prance atop our enemies!

That would have been funny if the Scout Trooper missed unaliving himself lol

“I’m dying” in the most monotone voice ever lol
