Quote:
LucasArts' job pages now include listings for developers to work on an action adventure game, a first-person shooter, and an aerial combat game.


Please be true and I hope it won't be a dumbed down Arcade style flight sim.

I bet it'll be all repulsorlift crafts

All I can hope is new Indiana Jones, Imperial Commando, and new X-Wing.

-That said, I'd settle for a new Rogue Squadron, though I suspect some of the feel would be lost with Factor Five now dead.

Only if I'm a rebel.

If I'm an Imperial I want Missile Boats and TIE Defenders please.

This, this, this, so much this. TIE Defenders and Missile Boats ROCK!

But I heard this over on rpg.net too! Hopefully it's true.

I gave up on LucasArts. And this is like 7 years ago.

I am really not interested if the new Xwing is being developed in-house at LA. I just hope a good, competent outside studio works on it instead. It's a shame Factor5 went down, damn you Lair.

Speaking of which, didn't LA awhile back applied for an Unreal Engine 3 license?

As long as it's not "X-Wing Unleashed"
I have my doubts that Lucasarts will spend the time and money to make a new competent X-Wing game for the PC.
2011-09-16, 10:00 PM #11
thirding tie defenders and missile boats if the imperials are playable.

Probably a sequel to SWOTL.
2011-09-16, 11:49 PM #13
I wouldn't mind a sequel to x wing alliance.
2011-09-16, 11:51 PM #14
Hopefully a sequel to TIE Fighter instead. So the acronym TF2 could finally used in its proper context.

I don't think aerial means what you think it means.

It appears to me that they're overlooking the possibility that the game will be for Lucasfilm's new movie "Red Tails".
? :)

I didn't think LEC developed games in-house anymore. I think the last thing they did were TFU games.

I suppose these job adverts prove otherwise.

I want X-wing or Tie-fighter. And preferably with co-op missions. And doing runs on capital ships. Surely they can handle that... right?
obviously you've never been able to harness the power of cleavage...

Yeah, I hated in TIE Fighter how you could almost completely destroy a capital ship... and then it would jump to lightspeed.

Well it makes sense.

+1 for TIE Defenders. I want to fly trips, dammit.

I'd love a new TIE Fighter game, but only if I can play it with one of these:

I've only played the campaign, explain the term

Not sure what exactly you mean, but I wouldn't want to fly a new space sim without a rudder control

I bought a CH Flightstick Pro for 10 bucks at a flea market for Wing Commander.
It owns.
I also bought a Voodoo 4 4500 for another 10.

Logitech Wingman Extreme here, actually used it to play JK before I discovered why these little 2-buttoned clickerdads are plugged into everyone's computrons.

I use one of these horsedick looking things. Of course, I don't use it all that often and it takes up a lot of space so I mostly just leave it on the table in my office, rather than up on the desk.

-It's pretty nifty.
2011-09-23, 4:07 AM #36
I had one of those for a while. I've gone through several Saitek sticks, now I'm using the x52 HOTAS.

I've only owned one joystick in my life, and that was back in the 90s when my brother and I used it to play TIE Fighter, lol. No idea what happened to it.
