The Force Engine 1.09.4 is out, and we have a lot of new features to cover:
First we have Bloom, a feature that many DarkXL faithful have been missing. Here are some screenshots demonstrating different intensities. pic.twitter.com/LdvELlAsfH— Moldy Crow (@DF21net) August 1, 2023
Wer Dark Forces (1995) wieder mal spielen will, kann das jetzt tun. Demnächst geht dann auch Outlaws. (github.io, rockpapershotgun, kotaku, 4players, computerbase, gamestar, wiki)

After 3 years of development, I am ready to announce the Version 1.0 Release of The Force Engine (TFE). The Force Engine is a project with the goal to reverse engineer and rebuild the Jedi Engine for modern systems and the games that used that engine – Dark Forces and Outlaws. For version 1.0, Dark Forces support is complete but Outlaws is not yet playable. Full Outlaws support is planned in the future, for version 2.0.
Nicht mehr indiziert. (pcgames)
Von einem Remake / Remaster ist leider nicht die Rede.
Die Force Engine wird ein Substitut für die Jedi Engine werden. Wenn die Engine fertig ist, gibt es als Source Port erweiterte Spielfeatures für Dark Forces & Outlaws. (doomworld)
What is the Force Engine?
The Force Engine is a project to reverse engineer and rebuild the Jedi Engine for modern systems and the games that used that engine – Dark Forces and Outlaws. The project includes modern, built-in tools, such as a level editor and aims to make it easy to play Dark Forces and Outlaws on modern systems as well as the many community mods designed to work with the original games.
Playing Dark Forces or Outlaws using the Force Engine adds ease of use and modern features such as higher resolutions and modern control schemes such as mouse-look. Using the built-in tools allows for easier modding with more modern UI, greater flexibility, and the ability to use enhancements made to the Jedi Engine for Outlaws in custom Dark Forces levels – such as slopes, stacked sectors, per-sector color maps and more.
Liest sich jedenfalls auf bluesnews so. Sagt uns die Pressemeldung von Devolver Digital. Irgendwie egal, die ganzen alten Titel waren damals auf Steam über längere Zeit erhältlich, bevor Steam mit der Geolocalisierung anfingen. Ich würde gerne mal wissen was eine Neuprüfung durch die USK kostet. Dark Forces und Blood 1 sind weiterhin auf dem Index.
Done Quick hat auch FPS Runs im Angebot, es sind zwei Blöcke im Zeitplan. (Einzel Vods youtube)
Runs von Bioshock 1, Wolfenstein The New Order, Dark Forces, Jedi Academy, Dishonored, Final Doom Plutonia, Ultimate Doom, Strife, Hexen, System Shock, Deus Ex.
Update: shacknews und eurogamer haben Best-of des Events zu bieten.
