    Oh, yeah! Syndicte would rock! Plus you can make basically everything from that IP. Shooter, (MMO)RPG, RTS/"tactics game", building/economic sim.

    Am I the only one who would be perfectly happy with EA taking the same courses from Road Rash 1+2, redoing the graphics for the current generation, and saying "let 'er rip" at that point?

    Edit: Alas, though, still no love for Mutant League Football. :(

    @jallen: I could get in on that. Bringing Road Rash 1 and 2 to XBLA would be a nice consolation also.
    But no. I want a revitalized Road Rash that can be the next AAA racer. It has the potential under its hood. Recognition must be ignited.

    Maybe when they bring back Wing Commander, they could put in the wing commander cartoon show from the 90s.

    To any interested, someone compiled and edited the movie segments of Wing Commander 3.

    www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=087524CA0490A458

    Honestly, the acting was pretty good...but poor Ginger Lynn was forced to say all these bad porn innuendos. It would still be nice if they game a new WC game the same treatment they gave to C&C and Red Alert.

    @darthnader: I'm not gonna link it 'cause the traffic would probably kill them, but there's a fansite out there that has both WC3 and WC4 available for download as movies. Pretty cool stuff, although I disagreed with a lot of the choices whoever played the game made - especially in the courtroom scene at the end of WC4, which has its dramatic impact blunted a bit by picking the "wrong" answers a couple of times. (Like hammering Tolwyn over the secret Black Lance fighters, rather than the goddamn bioweapons that turned people into dog food...)

    Knowing this generation, they're just gonna remake Wing Commander into some overly gray or brown third person shooter that completely misses the point of the old games AND features no Mark Hamill, rendering it utterly pointless.

    Am I bitter? Oh, hell yeah.

    @Archaotic: Don't ever play Wing Commander Arena on XBLA. Your bitterness will swell to such an extent that you could make coffee out of yourself.
    It nearly made me vomit. What a way to piss on a great series.

    @deanbmmv ([k]): It's still a shame he's not gonna voice the Clown again, but I'd rather he go out on a good note. Hopefully Rocksteady treats him with respect.

    ...as much as an insane clown deserves, that is.

    @(Zombie) Goldwings: Oh, that music!!!! So many fond memories.
    The biggest problem with the WC1 and 2 was the sprite-based graphics, which made it damn near impossible to land on the frickin' carrier at the end of a mission - the sprite would keep flipping angles and you could never tell which way you were coming in, frequently leading to your fighter going SPLAT against the hull.

    Surely you don't mean you thought 'The Price of Freedom' was a horrible game. I thoroughly enjoyed that one. Actually, i never played a Wing Commander game i didn't like (with WCII and Privater being my favourites).

    It's a shame cause i always wanted to play that (and Privater 2).

    My interest will peak higher if they look at other Bullfrog titles. ie DUNGEON KEEPER 3!!!
    I could never get Populous running on my PC. But it was a game I always wanted to try.
