Yeah, XWing needs to be remade. I guess the requirement for a flight stick and the focus on the crappy newer sequels has ruined that dream though.

I'd even be okay with some new Rogue Squadron games. Sure they're nowhere near as deep as the X-Wing series but better than any recent Star Wars game.

I think Rogue squardron based games would be great.

but hell any game would be great. include all the ships and a bunch of missions from both sides.

Actually you should try playing the space missions in Battlefront 2 if you haven't. A lot like Rogue Squadron. You can dogfight enemy fighters, attack capital ships, or even board the enemy capital ship and destroy it from the inside.

I just wish for the love of mercy that someone would remake Tie Fighter + all its expansion packs. Don't try to improve the gameplay or anything like that - just make it exactly as it was but with modern graphics.

Game won't play on chrome, fail.

Thread hijack: Yes, for the love of god, put out a new god damn star wars flight sim.

Also, WTF has the space fighter sim game genre disappeared? There is literally no game I can pew pew with on any modern console or pc :(

Because no one plays space sim. It's almost an oxymoron.

I miss scrolling shoot'em up genre like R-type/Raiden

The old X-wings were the greatest. All that ray/plane 3D graphics and fighting your way through a fictional space game (akin to Wing Commander in that your ships, if I remember right, had a "top speed").

The game was a lot of fun, and the music made up for a lot of.... um.... "realism" shortfalls.

But you really DO need a flightstick for this puppy or any other flight sim (in space or otherwise). unfortunately, most people (CEO's) want something that will play directly on a Console so they can sell it for $60 a shot....

Seriously? Not running the latest version of flash is just begging for your system to be owned.

No one said about flash version, just using the latest version of firefox like he talked about is what we are talking about.

Couldn't they have varied the colors a bit?

I thought Rogue Leader on the gamecube was pretty swank.

Too bad Factor 5 went for the gimmicks of Sony. :thumbsdown:
