Wow- LucasArts is Finally Going to Give Us Another Star Wars Title

Exactly. Gamers that started with the PS1 and on are nothing but graphics whores (omg generalization). Everything is about graphics to the point they care more about them than gameplay. It's really kind of sad.

Nah.. I'd have to agree with Sylvanas. I gave the cartoons a shot, but the original serious is where it is at for me.

Why can't they concentrate on post-Episode VI again? So much happens; so many new characters.

We need Kyle Katarn again.

"Forget years of training. I found a lightsaber in a garage and that makes me a Jedi!"

😛 Love that game.
 
Ugh... I can't stand this cartoony crap in the star wars universe. I take the LEGO games more serious than this garbage.

When the fuck are they going to make another X-wing game?

Probably not for a long time....

The genre is pretty much dead. If they do make it, it will probably be lame and third person, like Rogue Squadron or something.

How? I love space shooters/semi-sims, like X3 or Freelancer. To have one in the Star Wars universe, with modern graphics and effects, with even a mediocre story would be epic.

Hello?

Hello?

Those are only two games in the entire GENRE released within the past 5 years. Imagine if there were only two FPSs released!

Also, I haven't played X3, but it thought it was more of a trading sim than acutal in-the-cockpit space flight combat. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The point is, not many people are interested in space flight sims anymore. If LucasArts wanted to do another Tie Fighter/X-wing game, they would want to make it more accessible, which would mean not a space flight sim. It would probably be third person and play more like star fox (See: Rouge Squadron). Based on the love for Episodes I-III, it probably would be in that time period as well.

I would love to see an actual modern re-entry into the Tie Fighter/X-wing series though. It would be pretty epic, as you said.

When was the last time LucasArts made a decent game, anyway?

EDIT: You linked video proved me wrong about X3, however.
