Nemarus Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) A small section of this work in progress was leaked a year or two ago, but the animator has just released the full short: Oh man, those shots lifted right out of the TIE Fighter PC game... and dat TIE Bomber pilot... (and sure, the rebel ships have visible deflector shields, but I am willing to accept that in return for this much awesome) Edited March 24, 2015 by Nemarus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvwraith Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) You know what's as awesome as a tie-fighter? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3TtS1wkb7M Edited March 24, 2015 by wvwraith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaskar Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) I love the macross / robotech feel, how the helmets pulled away. Reminds of all the time I spent with three betamax decks cutting together my favorite battles of those series as a kid. edit:// I also loved Skywalker getting owned by the older tie pilot.

wvwraith Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Ties are my absolute favorite star wars ship hands down. They should have a gunship version of a tie-fighter just for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havokhead Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Ooohhhh!!! He must've got some crowd-funding or something to finish it. I saw this years ago on YouTube but it was alot more concise, I think he ran out of money to do this. There were always lots of comments about how good it was, maybe someone of note at LucasArts caught wind of it and funded it or something? It was awesome years ago but it's even better now. Gratz to him on a job well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DresG Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 I prefer this version with real SW music (KotOR) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGl6r5tQYPM Have you guys ever wondered why bombers in this game don't behave like in the video? it makes much more sense than just a minelayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verain Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 The bombers can behave like in other games - it's just that locking a missile is really hard, and the things that a bomber would excel at (such as hammering a structure) don't exist in GSF at all. With no reason to equip a proton (you're like a terrible strike at aiming it- no maneuvering, no booster, no speed), you take an option that works with the ship type. Also, excellent video.

OKonst Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 How many times watching it before it's considered a problem? NEVER! This is just awesome - reminds me of the good old days watching Galaxy Rangers, Flash Gordon, Saber RIder, Defenders of the Earth and Bravestar as a kid. Also makes me feel really old...

AgentRobP Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 How many times watching it before it's considered a problem? Probably once you hit your data cap (if you have one) and have to pay extra cash to your ISP. And that makes you go into debt. And you can't pay off that debt. Or if you lose your job because you get caught watching it all day. And you can't find a new one that allows you to do just that. Otherwise, not a problem.

Verain Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Great part: Where the TIE/sa pilot cycles through weapons and stops on clusters, and then kills all the strike fighters because they don't have disto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
