I'm really excited about it too. Hopefully Battlefield 1943 will keep me satisfied till release but I doubt it. It just doesn't have enough shit to blow up.

I never played the first one (I think I was burned out on FPS at the time) but I heard some great things about it.
I might consider picking #2, just to see what's up with this franchise.

Oh of course it is. It's awesome to see a planes dog fighting above you snipe your enemies from across the map. It's addicting but I want more.

It wasn't as bad as Superman Returns, but it was pretty bad.

If there is a force, please let this be a 256 player X-Wing vs TIE Fighter for PSN, XBLA, and Steam.

With the possible exception of the space expansion in Galaxies (which I've never played, unfortunately), I can't think of any Star Wars games that had large-scale multiplayer space battles. I'm not sure if there'd be a good way to make it work and, more importantly, make it fun...but if there is they'd have a surefire hit on their hands.

Unsurprisingly the old game and the basic concept lend themselves quite well to large scale battles. Look to MAG and KILLZONE 2 for some inspiration. Squads would work well playing with your friends. AI or ranked player would give orders and assign objectives.
The only thing you'd really lose out on are the smaller missions IDing cargo containers and whatnot.. it would always have to be some massive scale conflict. Death Star II would probably be the most played scenario. ;p
Of course who would be crazy enough to fly an unshielded TIE Fighter in such a huge scale conflict? Need something to balance that out. Maybe AI wingmen that will always take a missle for you? ;)

Story'd be a bitch, but it was actually one of the most creative things about the first. Plenty of places for another bridge-the-gap moment in the overall timeline, or you could play as the escaped beard of Kyle Katarn or something.

You both must have slept through KOTOR.
JK series, Xwing vs Tie Fighter as well.

Lucasarts feels to me like a company who is more interested in churning out the quick cheap product, all in the name of profits. I dont know when this happened either, they used to be so good.

It may be over 15 years old, but I still pop it in from time to time.

Good call!

What the world needs is a new Jedi Knight game. Jedi Outcast is in the Top 3 of The Best Star Wars games ever made alongside with KOTOR and some other Star Wars game... I don't know... let's just say Yoda's Story.
Anyway, Jedi Knight was brilliant and seeing a new game starring Kyle Katarn would cause a level VII nerdgasm-earthquake on the Richter scale.

With Unreal 3 engine or the like graphics (drool) ...!!!

Or, yknow, the Lucasarts stamped and approved Monkey Island SE which just came out today...

while KOTOR was good, it wasnt star wars good... if you understand me?
I dunno, maybe i'm too big of a fanboy of the original trilogy to take anything else in at the same level.

Im a fucking idiot, I know.
07/15/09
I don't know how they do it, but they manage to continuously fuck up leveraging the easiest IP in the world. It's Star Wars, for God's sake, and they just CAN'T get it right anymore.

You might not be a fan, but judging from the hype around Monkey Island there's still a large crowd of adventure game fans. Seeing the legal release of The Dig, the Indy games, and everything else - games that, in some cases, had been legally unobtainable for the past decade or longer - was a huge deal.

I'm just gonna hope for Empire at War 2, or Galactic Battlegrounds 2. I sunk so many hours into the first game... *sigh*
