Renegade and Elite Squadron were a massive part of my childhood. I remember competing for the front page of the leaderboards and doing pretty well (until hackers using the orbital strike took over). They are class games that really should have ports.
Same, I sunk literally hours into this game since the PSP was pretty much the only thing I had at the time. You'd be surprised how good I was at navigating the joystick controls, lol. The only reason I stopped playing was because my PSP got stolen one day with Renegade Squadron in the drive.
Fun fact, Elite Squadron is actually just the psp port of BF3. When they cancelled BF3, the psp port was already mostly done and they decided to just release it anyway but change the title. You can see this in a few ways: 1) There are beta copies of Elite Squadron floating around online and they all still have the title Battlefront 3. 2) The story is identical to BF 3 with the same missions and everything. We've seen enough of the cancelled BF3 and cutscenes that you can actually compare the console scenes to some of the same scenes in the psp version. 3) Elite Squadron has the same ground to space battle system that the BF3 console version was going to have. Anyway, there's a few articles you can find but a lot of them mix up the details and so a lot of people think Elite Squadron is its own game, I think not many people are aware that it is quite literally a Battlefront 3 port.
That's freaking amazing I never knew that fact about it just being a port of cancelled BF3. Here's hoping for a fan remake of the game using Elite Squadron as a base.
I played so much elite squadron online multiplayer. Very phenomenal game. I loved blending the space and ground battles together, you could shoot artillery from the star destroyer to the ground
If I remember correctly, the devs on BF3 were having difficulty getting the ground-to-space traversal working properly on the hardware at the time, which is why Elite Squadron utilised the cutscenes to hide the loading (not to mention the PSP had even more inferior hardware.)
I must have spent over 400 hours playing this game. I took it with me everywhere. I think it was the first shooter I ever played that let you fully customize your character, and I spent hours doing that over and over, perfecting loadouts and looks. The maps were fun, the combat - while a little clunky with no extra stick - was great, and the lock-on feature that kept combat moving made me feel like space Rambo. 😂 I didn't know it got mixed reviews or was slept on until this video, because I always considered it one of the best PSP and Star Wars games. Elite Squadron was amazing as well, but this one will always be my go-to PSP Battlefront game. Thanks for giving it some love!
The Ord Mantel mission seems like a reference to Han's offhand mention of them running into a bounty hunter on Ord Mantel in Empire Strikes Back. However it was an event that was already covered by comics completely different, making this another instance of Battlefront retelling an already explained event (Battlefront 2 being like, the one of many, many times the Death Star plans were stolen)
The plans were changed to being in a series of pieces. Aka every time the plans were stolen only a piece was taken and when they got all 4 they combined them.
The multiplayer for this game with custom classes was really stupid fun. I ended up playing as a unit with like no HP, but rocking a stealth suit and shotgun or flamethrower to wreck havoc like some sort of fucked up TF2 spy
I remember taking advantage of an exploit where you can get more equipment then it would normally allow through a specific method. That’s how I bugged my friends at school while playing by having all the best gear during our multiplayer games.
I guess its because its almost been 20 years since release. I wish steam had better optimized servers for battlefronts tho. Any ideas how to get ping low
I was a PSP evangelist. It’s all I played all the freaking time. This game was so amazing to me and I had an absolute blast playing it. I remember freeloading off a neighbors WiFi (remember the days of no password WiFi??) and playing this game for hours. Every time I see this game nowadays I just get hit with a rush of nostalgia.
Oh, you should DEFINITELY do Elite Squadron to wrap up the original Battlefront series! Also, you said that you could play as all the heroes from Battlefront II, but that isn't actually true. You can't play as Princess Leia, Anakin Skywalker or Aayla Secura in this game (according to Wikipedia); however, you CAN play as Kit Fisto and Asajj Ventress who were exclusive to the Xbox version of Battlefront II.
Well done on hitting 100K subscribers! When I first came across your channel you had about 20K and I kept asking myself "How come this guy doesn't have 100K". The world's finally right 🙂
The first game I sunk tons of hours onto with online matches. Even by the time the PSVita had come out, there was still enough of a player base online for matches to still be entertaining.
I originally got my PlayStation Portable just to play this game. I was a major fan of battlefront 2 growing up and fell in love with renegade squadron instantly. The fact this game was on a portable blew my mind and to this day RS is my second favorite game in the series right behind Battlefront 2.
Two games I was obssessed with as a kid was Renegade Squadron and the PSP version of the Force Unleashed. Thank you for making this video, this game is very important to me
Congrats on 100k! I played a ton of Renegade Squadron as a kid and absolutely loved it. It's 100% got its flaws and honestly I haven't returned to it in little under a decade now but I really like the game. Unlike Elite Squadron which was basically a port of a cancelled game, Renegade Squadron was built for the PSP and I think it really shows. Great video as always!
I guess the next Battlefront game will be Elite Squadron, aka, the PSP and Nintendo DS port of what could've been Battlefront 3 since, based on the leak cutscenes and story details, they are the same.
You need to do Elite Squadron next. Its made using the battlefront 3 stuff. Its got the bf3 story and the ground to space battles (with a cutscene, its a handheld game afterall) and the customization stuff too
I had this as a kid, loved it. I loved the space battles, having heroes AND a capturable command post? Brilliant. Plus I think I even sampled the online play. I just remember hating the controls.
My dad got me a psp when I was 5 and it came with this game I had no knowledge what Star Wars was but I kept playing this game as it was the only game I had at the time then there was a announcement on Cartoon Network that the clone wars was premiering and I thought to myself “hey those are the white armored guys in my game” and the rest is pretty much history this game was my introduction to starwars and I’m so thankful I was able to play it when I was young
first battlefront for me, i was soo jealous of my friends with playstation consoles having battlefront. When i got my psp i played this until 4 in the morning lol. good memories.
We actually can improve it with emulator, i played this whole game less than a week ago with the ppsspp emulator, not only the resolution of the game can be improved but also the graphics with the Shaders options, i used the shaders called Natural colors (no blur) + bloom shader with the configuration of 50-50, the game looked amazing, specially the space battles with the bloom effect, the only problem is that the textures of the game are still low res, somehow nobody had the idea to make a HD textures pack for it yet, but the game still super fun
@@JoesGuy Now that you mentioned, yes we can! so far i don't play much 60 fps games myself, i'm used to play old games, so i never felt such difference between 30 and 60, but i did searched for it some time and the way people found to use 60 fps in originally 30 fps psp games is by using cwcheat codes, here's the code for 60 fps: _C1 60 fps cheat _L 0x002ED036 0x000FFFFF I didn't tested it myself, so i can't tell if it will work or not, many people says it works, so it must do. i'm not the owner of the code so here's the link of the creator of it, all credits goes to him: th-cam.com/video/i7_RU7QDRHo/w-d-xo.html
@@JoesGuy Idk why this happened but my answer didn't get send for some reason and i took some time to notice, sorry about that XD, so what i was saying is that there's a way to get 60 fps with it, people found a way to get it using a cwcheat code, i found it in this video (th-cam.com/video/i7_RU7QDRHo/w-d-xo.html) and the cheat looks like this: _C1 60 fps cheat _L 0x002ED036 0x000FFFFF also i think that it needs the option "force 60 fps" enabled in the emulator, but as a short answer, there's a way to improve it in that aspect too, i'm kinda used to 30 fps game so i didn't took the time to test it, but people says that it works and the video shows that, idk why he used that screen effect tho.
I got this game when I was 11, a few years after it released. I probably have hundreds of hours on this game. The music, the visuals and the general Star Wars feel that this game had are forever my personal benchmark of what Star Wars should be. I love this game to death.
I used to have the star wars PSP and had renegade squadron. I will never forget the times i brought it into elementary school and i would have 30+ kids gathered around me being amazed at a PORTABLE psp. The good old days
I played this game so much as I child. I forgot how many times I completed it. The one issue with the campaign was that I always seemed to struggle with that mission in a junkyard defending Chewbacca. Everything else was ok, but that section was always a struggle, even when I got better at it, I was always tensing up and fearful
Ah, this was a nostalgia blast! I have fond memories of playing this on my PSP for hours. I remember that by timing the jet pack boosts you could fly nearly infinitely or until you smacked into the invisible walls at the edge of the map.
i knew i wasn't crazy. when anyone talked about battlefront i always thought of this one but could never remember the name for it and seeing as everyone only just talked about one and two i just assumed i was misremember things or perhaps thinking of a different game. so happy someone finally brought it up
I still like playing this every now and then. It is a lot better than the PSP version of Battlefront II. I like that heroes can actually go against each other.
The memories playing this on my white PSP with Darth Vader on the back of it. This and elite needs to be like DLC content for the re-release of the classic games coming soon.
It's so cool to me that it has some vehicles from Empire at War, like the rebel T4-B tank. Now that's a vehicle that was completely forgotten, together with the T2-B
It's funny... I still have a working PSP and still, 13 years later, I have the Renegade Squadron game and play it periodically (I also have Elite Squadron, which complements this game with mechanics, but I play here and there). The game is great and the combat is pretty good. It's a pity that it has become the one and only until now.
I remember this, in fact, I still have my UMD. This was fun but quite different from SWBF2. There was a glitch to use as many points as you wanted and it even worked in multiplayer. Speaking of which, it had infrastructure multiplayer! That in and of itself was really fun when it was there.
There was a glitch I did in this game all the time to put as much equipment as you wanted on your guy. You flip the WAN switch on, load into a multiplayer game by yourself, put your equipment on (going past the 100 point limit) then flip off the WAN switch. The game will take you out of multiplayer and next time you go into singleplayer you'll still have all your equipment.
I used to love this game. My cuz and me used to play the online all the time back in the day. I do think I elite better but still good memories with this game.
My favorite thing with the class system was that if you went into multi-player, set your class way over the max limit, and then turned off the psp internet connection, you would keep the over powered class as long as you didn't go back to customize it. Nothing like having a chain gun and full stats with a jet pack.
I tell ya what, them damn PSPs were made to last. I booted mine up the other day after however many years of sitting in a closet just to play this game and it worked perfectly. So many fond memories from my childhood playing this one on long car rides!!!
I'm surprised you didn't cover that this was the first time you got heros in space battles with access to ships like the Millennium Falcon, Slave One, Anakin's Starfighter, and more.
2007; the best year after 1997 for Star Wars, movies, games, music and tv. I knew this for the longest time and a recent article confirmed this! I can’t see a better year coming anytime soon.
I loved this game! And wow, i forgot about Korriban For the galactic conquest, i once defeated 90 troops or something huge like that with only 10 imps and the ATAT on Boz Pity. The ATAT got stopped by the rebels in a narrow passage, i used the shield and chain gun to mow the rebels down as they shot up at the walker
Oh, the nostalgia! I remember getting this and enjoying it a lot. Especially the space battles, where some of the maps also had a neutral area that could be captured. It was a brilliant game for its time. Elite Squadron did improve upon things, but the maps with that one always felt too symmetrical to be massively enjoyable.
If they took Renegade Squadron and Elite Squadron, restored BF2's class system with the addition of a custom class system for just the player, BF 3's ground to space battles, and gave us galactic conquest from Elite squadron, but with EVERY map from BF 1, 2, RS, and ES it would be the greatest game ever.
I spent so many late nights as a teen playing this in bed. It was my first experience playing Battlefront online, since we didn't have an adapter for the PS2. It really was surprisingly functional considering the PSP's online capabilities, but it was kind of crazy to see just how riddled the game became with hackers.
I always enjoyed playing the game. It's the reason I bought a psp and was the first game I bought, along with battlefront II on PSP, later I would get Rogue Squadron. I actually got renegade and the PSP right before a long car trip and played it a bunch during the ride.
Top tip: you can change the controls to fire with the R button and aim using square, triangle, circle and X, Turning those buttons into the right analogue stick. It massively improves this game

You flip the WAN switch on, load into a multiplayer game by yourself, put your equipment on (going past the 100 point limit) then flip off the WAN switch.
The game will take you out of multiplayer and next time you go into singleplayer you'll still have all your equipment.
Same dude!
I played this when I got the PSP bundle and I loved it. I was hooked on it.
I had a blast with both this and Elite on my psp during its shelf life, I hope they both get remastered
I played this game soooooo much along with Battlefront and Battlefront II
I used to love this game. My cuz and me used to play the online all the time back in the day. I do think I elite better but still good memories with this game.
I adore Renegade Squadron. It and Elite Squadron made my junior high school days so much better
I remember playing this and setting the face buttons to control the camera made it alot easier to play
I had the special edition white psp with darth vader on the back, this was probably my favorite game in the PSP library
I remember playing this and elite squadron alot on my psp
My favorite thing with the class system was that if you went into multi-player, set your class way over the max limit, and then turned off the psp internet connection, you would keep the over powered class as long as you didn't go back to customize it.
Nothing like having a chain gun and full stats with a jet pack.
Playing this as a kid, capturing the middle station in some of the space maps and getting tie defenders felt badass
Oh boy i remember being 11 and playing renegade and then elite. Fun times!
I had this game for psp. I remember thinking it played like battlefront 2 should have played on psp. It was one of my favorite games to play
I loved this game. It was so freaking good.
God these games were some of my fav battlefront games cuz you could go from ground to space! Loved Elite Squadron too PSP was awesome
I tell ya what, them damn PSPs were made to last. I booted mine up the other day after however many years of sitting in a closet just to play this game and it worked perfectly. So many fond memories from my childhood playing this one on long car rides!!!
I'm surprised you didn't cover that this was the first time you got heros in space battles with access to ships like the Millennium Falcon, Slave One, Anakin's Starfighter, and more.
Same
I miss playing this and elite squadron
renegade was the first one i had and i loved playing both that and elite squadron
Renegade Squadron is a classic, I replayed the campaign not long ago. Still great for an original story!
2007; the best year after 1997 for Star Wars, movies, games, music and tv. I knew this for the longest time and a recent article confirmed this! I can’t see a better year coming anytime soon.
I never forgot about this game, the white darth Vader psp is amazing
I miss this game so much. It’s buried in my attic somewhere lol.
Still feeling good having this game up to this game
This was my Battlefront game, loved playing it over and over again despite how low-res and clunky it was
This was the battlefront game we needed! Space air and land battles all in 1
Renegade Rogue and II were my most played games on my handheld PS systems, also loved Wipeout 2048 and Uncharted Golden Abyss on my Vit
I loved this game! And wow, i forgot about Korriban
For the galactic conquest, i once defeated 90 troops or something huge like that with only 10 imps and the ATAT on Boz Pity. The ATAT got stopped by the rebels in a narrow passage, i used the shield and chain gun to mow the rebels down as they shot up at the walker
Oh, the nostalgia! I remember getting this and enjoying it a lot. Especially the space battles, where some of the maps also had a neutral area that could be captured. It was a brilliant game for its time. Elite Squadron did improve upon things, but the maps with that one always felt too symmetrical to be massively enjoyable.
I knew I loved you for a reason Flandrew, way to show some appreciation to this game I bought a psp bundle for
Loved the ability to fly up in the air to a space battle. so sad they didn't make it possible in the later games
God, I was obsessed with this game as a kid
If they took Renegade Squadron and Elite Squadron, restored BF2's class system with the addition of a custom class system for just the player, BF 3's ground to space battles, and gave us galactic conquest from Elite squadron, but with EVERY map from BF 1, 2, RS, and ES it would be the greatest game ever.
I spent so many late nights as a teen playing this in bed. It was my first experience playing Battlefront online, since we didn't have an adapter for the PS2. It really was surprisingly functional considering the PSP's online capabilities, but it was kind of crazy to see just how riddled the game became with hackers.
Also, we did get a couple more new heroes in the Clone Wars era, Aayla Secura and Asajj Ventress respectively!
I always enjoyed playing the game. It's the reason I bought a psp and was the first game I bought, along with battlefront II on PSP, later I would get Rogue Squadron. I actually got renegade and the PSP right before a long car trip and played it a bunch during the ride.
Top tip: you can change the controls to fire with the R button and aim using square, triangle, circle and X, Turning those buttons into the right analogue stick. It massively improves this game
this was my psp favorite along with force unleashed in middle school
Loved this game and elite squadrons custimation options. Definitely do an Ellite squadron video!
