Please let this be true.

First Mechwarrior, now this? C'mon Freespace 3! Let's go for the hat trick.

I think that sums it up quite well, if this comes to fruition.

Oooh. I've never played either of those classics, but I've heard enough gushing praise about them to be interested.

What the **** is wrong with some of the game developers these days?
Did some of them really decided "hey, lets do something really unusual, lets release actually a good game for a change, you know, something people gonna really like..."?

From the look of the MW5 trailer it seems it's going to be a awesome game, and now Lucasarts seems to revive on of THE best space sims ever, yay!

I seriously hope LA doesn't pull a TFU and make it X-Wing: Arena, only for PS3 and XBox 360.

Darksider · **Reply #5 on:** August 05, 2009, 11:46:48 am

Erm TFU is coming out for PC, and the PC release gets new content as well.

A worthy successor to TIE Fighter and X Wing would be shiny as far as i'm concerned, however, LA of late has left me a little pessimistic.

Yeah, way to piledrive Wing Commander deeper into the grave it's already been in.

Happy days, if its turns out to be true. Still have the original discs for X-Wing and for TIE Fighter. Preferred the latter tho, X-Wing was bloody solid!

Vidmaster · **Reply #11 on:** August 06, 2009, 03:12:38 am

NONE OF YOU WANTS TO SEE THAT HAPPENING!!!

come on, what did LucasArts make right after 2000? Bad games, worse games, flawed games, a stupid policy, ...
Do you really think they would make another real Space Combat Simulator? You'd get a game CALLED X-Wing but that's about it.

Expect a wishy-washy arcade like shoot-em-up monster (including console versions).
Kinda like StarWars Starfighter and those things.

Activate your brain cells and I am sure you'll agree to that.
The real space sim genre is still dead, only we, the fans, are keeping it alive by building games ourselves.

I have to say hookw read the original linked story. . .

There's nothing really conclusive in what he says at the end. Is there ?

As part of a follow-up interview with LucasArts president Darrell Rodriguez about plans for the months ahead, I asked Rodriguez for thoughts on a return of the company's lauded X-Wing and Tie Fighter flight sim series.

His answer?

"We don’t have any announcements now, but stay tuned," said Rodriguez. "We will soon….."

If any, Tie Fighter / X-Wing series has the potential to resurrect dead space sim genre.

Edit: More rumors.

Fury · **Reply #14 on:** August 06, 2009, 04:00:31 am

Well ****, someone already posted a topic with stupid topic title.

Which was edited to say what this topic is actually about.

swashmebuckle · **Reply #15 on:** August 06, 2009, 06:58:56 am

If it really is a XvT remake I predict it will push back FotG's release by at least a year as Chief will be playing it obsessively. Our models will still be nicer and more accurate though!

Knarfe1000 · **Reply #16 on:** August 06, 2009, 07:12:04 am

Okay, than hurry up and release it before the remake.

You know, starfighter wasn't that bad.

Sure, it lacked the depth of X-wing or Freespace, but at least the fighters weren't slow as ****.

I remember how excited I was when I first played X-wing alliance 'cause I got to relive the harrowing escape from the death star, but I got bored with it at the five minute mark when I was still a quarter of the ways through the escape.

X-wing was fun, but damn, those ships sure could use a speed boost.

JGZinv · **Reply #18 on:** August 06, 2009, 05:16:12 pm

<-- used an A-wing to destroy an entire fleet of VSD, ISD, and one SSD in Alliance.

Was fun though, I still have all the discs and most of them are in my rack in front of me.
