What is TIE Fighter: Total Conversion and why is it so cool
The project can be considered an unofficial remake. The modification recreates all campaigns from the basic version of TIE Fighter and the Defender of the Empire and Enemies of the Empire expansions. That's a total of 76 missions, with dozens of additional tasks from modders. In addition, some of the missions from the originals are optionally available in an alternative, improved version (called Reimagined) - with a larger scale of skirmishes and additional objectives.
The developers have also remastered the cutscenes and audio setting, and introduced an option to collect emblems, serving a role analogous to Achievements.
The project was built on the foundations of the great modification called TIE Fighter: Total Conversion presents a much higher quality level than XWA.
The whole thing is incredibly impressive. It's my favorite mod of 2021 and overall one of the best things I've had a chance to play during that period.
What's new in version 1.3
Update 1.3 brings big changes:
- Optimization has been heavily improved. The mod has been reworked so that more rendering is allocated to the GPU (previously it was mainly done by the U), which resulted in big performance increases.
- Three new missions were added in the Reimagined version and several already available were improved.
- The actor playing iral Thrawn was changed.
- An option to speed up time 4 times has been introduced.
- Modders improved gameplay balance and graphic effects.
- Zombies in popular survival game are more realistic. „Unstable” version of Project Zomboid now prevents players from using alarm exploits
- Much-criticized Civilization 7 will get big maps, and a few other welcome new features. Firaxis says is just the beginning
- Realistic building game received small roap. RoadCraft is set to get its first free content updated after release
- How long has Star Citizen been in development? A timeline of promises, delays and milestones
- Paradox's „grand strategy” new feature will let us almost completely change its maps. Victoria 3 players can check it out next week
- PlayStation's second biggest hit on PC. Great ratings and crowds on Steam: this is how Stellar Blade's release looks like
