It was a trap! X-Wing/TIE Fighter info not coming soon?

G4's Patrick Klepek inquired as to the future of the X-Wing, Tie Fighter, and X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter series during an interview with LucasArts president Darrel Rodriguez, who teased us like the teasing teaser that he so obviously is.

"We don't have any announcements now, but stay tuned," said Rodriguez. "We will soon….."

    This, along with Mechwarrior, is among the top franchises in my resurrection pool. I'd be absolutely ecstatic if it happened.

    Hey, they can give it to Totally Games. They're still around, and they most certainly aren't doing anything worthwhile at the moment. I'd love to see Lawrence Holland back in action.

    But, and we all know this is going to be an issue in the entire existence of this game, I hope to god they don't remove the simulation aspects. There's no point in making a new X-Wing/TIE Fighter if they're just going to make Rogue Squadron.

    They probably won't release a Mac version, and even if they do, it won't be able to run on my 4.5 year old Mac.

    :(

    I don't see how this could be a console release. You HAVE to have a keyboard. It doesn't work without one..

    Seriously though, the past decade's attention spent on X-Wings, the Republic, the Rebels, and Jedi is sickening. I just want a game that makes it feel righteous again to fly around in a TIE fighter clamping down on pirates and traitors 8-) That is, unless they go with New Republic fluff, where the roles are reversed and some of the New Republic isn't all that honest either. Hmm... a rogue Empire fleet fighting for survival and bringing justice to the Star Wars universe...

    Going from X-Wing (balancing shields versus engine versus energy for the quads) to TIE Fighter (balancing cannon energy versus engines versus a new change of pants everytime something came gunning for your ass) was a hell of a jump.

    Then you get the TIE Advanced and/or Defender and just violate things en masse.

    So many fond memories from both, however. Except for X-Wing Campaign 2, Mission 4. Fuck you, freighter Phoenix. Fuck you.

    A-Wing vs. B-Wing

    I would pump all my shield energy in to my engines and fly circles around pretty much anything other than a TIE-Interceptor. I could easily out-run torpedoes.

    This was the first game I bought a Joystick for.

    Even fully charged the A-wing shields did shit to stop you for turning into powder when a blaster shot got close so I just said fuck it, I'll die, respawn and torpedo their ass back to last weekend.

    Between this and Monkey Island, LucasArts seems to be getting its act together.

    And the Y-Wing is CLEARLY the Rebel ship of champions. Nothing says "Ace Pilot" like a ship that's duct-taped together.

    False. I just re-played through Tie Fighter on my PC 2 years ago. I didn't have any other joystick around the house anymore, so I used my 360 controller. I was able to map nearly everything onto it with some effort. With a little interface creativity they could definitely get it all on there.

    Olivaw has it right. I posted the TIE Advance (or TIE Avenger if you prefer) from TIE Fighter. That thing rocks my socks off.

    I would, however, also accept Missile Boats. I have such a soft spot for those stubby little death machines.

    I find nothing funnier than disabling an enemy player's craft then picking away at it's hull laughing maniacally.

    Maybe that's just me.


    Seriously speaking though, I've always prefered a heaver shielded craft over the tin foil for armor T/F or T/Is. That and the Ion Cannon has it's moments. The T/Adv and the T/Def were definitely the cream of the crop though.
