The new fanmade plot also is not nearly as well-scripted nor interesting as the original story.

I can't quite put my finger on the reason, but I suspect it is the combination of little things such as the lack of launch/landing video sequences, the impersonal new interfaces such as the mission computer and upgrade center that replace the old full-screen and more interactive interfaces (which someone told me is due to technical limitations involving bitmaps in the original game). Piloting the various ships, targeting, and navigating feel very much the way they did in the original game, and the explosions now look better than ever.Īs good as Privateer Remake is, I can't help but feel that a certain amount of charm has been lost. All the ships, bases, and planets from the original game now look even better than in Privateer 2.

These, and numerous little additions throughout the game, make Privateer Remake feel like a truly modern update of the old classic and not just a straight remake.Īs you would expect from the great Vega Strike engine that this game is based on, the graphics in Privateer Remake are drop-dead gorgeous. You can also tell your turrets to auto-engage enemies in sight – a welcome addition that greatly lessens the frustration I have always felt in frantic dogfights. For example, you can hire wingmen in the game (like in Privateer 2), mine asteroids, use repair droids, and buy and sell ships with the ship dealers.

Privateer Remake is a noble and largely successful attempt at updating Origin's classic Wing Commander: Privateer to modern Windows-based computers without the need to fiddle with DOSBox to get the original game working (although the original game *does* work quite beautifully for me with DOSBox). But, if you were willing to live another adventure in the universe, to visit once again the Gemini Sector and to involve in the combats, you will play Privateer - Righteous Fire with lots of pleasure.Privateer Remake Collection: Fanmade Remakes Well, it was better to have one more fighter, and a ship that could be customizable after the player's preferences and tastes. This will raise your cash, and you will be able to buy various upgrades for a better performance of your ship. The fights are a bit hard to win, and your success depends on the tradings and mercenary work you do. There are new upgrades available, that weren't present in the original game, but the primary change in PRF is the plot, that will captivate you until the end. If you risk all your well-earned resources in the combat sequences, you will have only advantages. The Gemini Sector is threatened by a danger, and you are taken once again to Universe to solve the situation. Those that have the same opinion as mine related to Wing Commander, they will also enjoy Privateer Righteous Fire. Wing Commander is awesome, with an excellent design, graphics, and a tense and exciting action to live, along with the fight scenes. Privateer Righteous Fire is a 1994 add-on to the original action simulation game, that brings a new storyline, new weapons and modern items for your ship.
