[QUOTE="Admin, post: 60311, member: 1"] Nightdive Studios, who recently remastered classic first-person games System Shock and Quake 2, is doing the same to another first-person legend: Star Wars: Dark Forces. It is in development for all major platforms: PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. Watch the announcement trailer above. The single-player-only Star Wars FPS first released in 1995 for PC and was the first adventure for players as Kyle Katarn, who would go on to become a Jedi in Jedi Knight and its sequels. You don't ever get your hands on a lightsaber in Dark Forces, but it's remembered fondly for its memorable missions and difficult boss fights. "I think the audience will appreciate the degree of challenge," Nightdive's Larry Kuperman told IGN. The remaster cleans up the 28-year-old Dark Forces gameplay and cutscenes similarly to how Nightdive approached the recent Quake 2 remaster: with its in-house Kex Engine, thus allowing modern controls and features like 4K resolution, widescreen support (the original was in the old 4:3 aspect ratio days with 1024x768 resolution), and 60fps. "What we really try to do is bring back the way you felt when you played the original," Kuperman said. "That's our mission." He added, "Our mantra is always about preservation.
