It may not be X-Wing or Tie Fighter, but it might be as close as we are going to get in this day and age.

Oh good, the explosions are even more fiery than the movies! I really hope they devote enough dev time to making that fire look as realistic as possible.

My only problem is that its Disney so you are never going to hear the end of R2 droids fucking beeping

Granted, I probably had plenty of other things I could have called attention to. But yes, I went with that, because that's the thing that stood out the most from this completely uninspired trailer for a mediocre rehash of a great franchise/concept that deserves a great game, and not the pile of shit this will turn out to be.

That, and as mentioned above, the fucking R2 screaming.

It looks just like that bullshit that SWTOR put out. Why can't we have 64 player battles in a space sim? I don't want Star Wars Fox in space. I want reskinned Xwing v Tie Fighter. Fuck I sound like those EQ neckbeards now.

Who knows, if those Baldurs Gate remakes do well, maybe we'll get some other old games remade too. Lord knows these industries FUCKING LOVE THE REMAKES OMG!

I'd buy a remake of X-wing, TIE-Fighter, and all that stuff in a heartbeat.

If your budget is so small that you're going to put your devs Skype call in as the voice acting you might want to rethink releasing a trailer to the public.

It certainly does not look visually up to date or cutting edge , nor does it sound too overly ambitious (16 player). Maybe WII-U exclusive? lol

If this is even an attempt at an X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter reboot I will do unforgivable shit right here and now to get first access.

Looks to me to be much more in the same vein as the Rebel Assault games.

They were terrible but I still played the shit out of them back when "multimedia" was a brand new thing and really just a fancy word for having a CD-Rom drive.

I think I played Rebel Assault 1 or 2 with a joystick and it kept me somewhat entertained as a kid who didn't know any better. Plus you're right, games back then had a much lower bar to hurdle and as someone whose parents bought a Mac it's not like a had a lot of choice in what I played.

Fortunately, these days I have a backlog twenty miles long from Steam sales alone. I don't need to buy a terrible game whose sole purpose is to cash in on my nostalgia.

There will never be another Tie Fighter Wars or XW vs TF. Those games were too complex for the herp derp target audience that is being catered to, plus your average gamer nowadays just wants instant gratification. The retards who think the prequels were any good can't be bothered with managing energy and ammunition.

You shut your fucking whore mouth. Rebel Assault 2 was awesome. Especially with the alternate subtitles.

This screams Mechwarrior Online in space to me. Skirmish battles and tons of microtransactions to buy new ships/camo colors/cockpit bullshit.

Is this a Star Wars rail shooter? No thanks.

Hopefully when you beat the game you get to watch Hans Solo dance dance revolution.
