A new X-Wing game. X-wing, TieFighter and X-Wing alliance all owned :D

I was watching Empire Strikes Back the other day and it all came back. Oh the nostalgia!

Seriously, they could do amazing things to this genre these days. Even a new Freespace2 would be nice :)
 
Definitely need a new Freespace game, those really ate up my hours during secondary school.

X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter etc. all brilliant but I got that feeling again with SWG: Jump To Lightspeed. :)
 
Agree with the OP; before we had the vision, but no where near the technology to pull off the scale required (that said those games were awesome), now that technology is closer, it seems people cba to make these games anymore :(
 
An average strategy game is hardly a resurrection of the great flight sim series, is it? It's a new flightsim we want, not EaW, the only similarity it has is the universe its based on!
 
If someone can make an opengl version of Elite someone surely can make an opengl version of an old xwing or tie fighter game to update the thing for a modern look.
 
If you want a new game then start an online petition for it, create a little website where people can sign up, start advertising it about places like PC Gamer and watch as the signatures shoot up.

Then email someone at LucasArts with the link to it and see if you can get a response from them. If you can prove that enough people want a new game to make a profit then they will make one!

Its worth a try as these games absolutely rocked! :D
 
X-wing vs Tie fighter has to be one of the best games I ever bought, I remember going up against loads of Z-95 Headhunters in a Tie Interceptor and taking them all down.

My joystick now feels lonely without any space dogfights to contend with.
 
Damn right it's been too long since we had a proper Star Wars Spaceflight sim. I reckon it should be based in the time after the second death star was destroyed as there be some epic battles in the X-wing novels which are set literally 2/3 months after the destruction of the 2nd death star!
 
Here here! My top favourite space games of all time:

1. Freespace 1 & 2
2. Tie Fighter
3. I-War + Expansion
4. X-Wing Alliance
5. Starlancer (yes, Starlancer not Freelancer)
6. I-War 2

Not too impressed with the newer releases but hey, I couldn’t do any better lol.

Waiting for the next big thing here :)
 
Russians in space! Awesome! Great cutscenes too. A lot of games use the engine to render most cutscenes these days. I would love a new space game which used FMV or CGI instead.

Hell yes. Xwing and Tie Fighter were 2 of my favourite games from back in ye olde days when Lucasarts and Sierra games were king. XvT got me into the world of online gaming and I was a fairly permanent and well-known fixture in the old microsoft gaming zone.

Used to be in an old starwars league called Last Star Fighters (LSF), used to have competitions in XvT/XWA/JK2 etc. Awesome stuff.

Back in ye olde days of case's ladder I was even #1 in 1v1 XWA for a good 5-6 months after release. :D I miss those days!

Bring on new Xwing games!

I have to disagree with you there mate, JTL was the hugest disappointment of my gaming career, it just didn't feel right and was nothing compared to the thrill of online dogfights in XvT/XWA, it was the nail in the coffin of SWG for me.
