New Game Features |
  |
The Path Not Taken offers XvT pilots the following additions and modifications...
- 60 missions, spread across two full campaigns.
- A detailed story, played out from the perspective of a new pilot on either side of the conflict. This is nothing new. The plot is integral to the mission structure, rather than an arbitrary, "thrown-in-at-the-last-minute" gesture. This is very new.
- Full briefings, which seems to be a rarity. Detailed text briefings allow gamers to follow the shipset's plot; gamers who just want to hurry up and get to the missions can just watch the animated briefings and skip all the extra stuff!
- Nine totally new ships, including seven new pilotable starfighters! These ships were modeled by some of the most talented 3D artists in the racket: Michael "Steele" Bowes, Andreas Kroell, and Michael Anderson.
- Custom voices and sounds, to further the plotline running through the two campaigns.
- A new (though very brief) introductory animation which plays when the game is run with the Watch Introductory Cutscene option, as well as a couple of short in-game cutscenes.
- Several new datapad backgrounds, replacing the backgrounds seen during the mission selection screens.
