Goddamnit yes! Tie Fighter with the Elite Dangerous engine.....

that would be so freakin epic

Man, they need to re-release TIE Fighter. That was one of the best Star Wars games ever.

Your video, Star Wars TIE Fighter vs. Thai Fighter | Robot Chicken, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

Well that's surprising, I remember playing Tie Fighter and mine would come apart the second a Rebel so much as looked at it funny.

2 more comments have been lost in the ether at this killed duplicate.

I nerdgasm'd so hard watching this for the first time lol.

Dice can make a great game if given time and the talent and drive seems to be there. Now if only EA doesn't fuck it up.

As to X-Wing 2.0? X-wing was good, but Tie Fighter was better. Still, I'd like them both.

And as to Star Wars gaming being dead.. bullshit. Disney doesn't buy properties to stop using them.

Oh god yeah, plus it's EA so you'll probably start out with no weapons and have to buy everything with microtransactions.

BUT... this flips a switch in me marked "playing with my snowspeeder against AT-ATs on xmas day as a kid", and I love it for that.


@ant and @Ashenkase, I would pay an unholy amount of money for a new X-Wing/TIE Fighter game. Throw in oculus support and I'd probably sell my house to pay for it.

O make it a Xwing 2 and Tie fighter 2 and were all happy although tiefighter was stuttering like hell on my 386 40mhz

TIE Fighter please!

*cinema

I think Disney owns the IP, but for now they're outsourcing development of all Star Wars games to EA.

Another X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter is too much to hope for. But DICE could do a great Battlefield style game in the setting. Throw in a few maps that are mostly space battles and that could turn out well.

Don't hold your breath waiting for TIE Fighter. As far as the rest of the industry is concerned, the space sim genre is dead. Doubt Lucasarts would ever give up the IP to let it be crowdfunded.

My Logitech Wingman Extreme is sitting on a shelf just waiting for another TIE Fighter.

How about another TIE Fighter, X-Wing, X-Wings Alliance, etc.?

My favorite has always been the disappearing TIE fighters in Return of the Jedi. You'll need to use a copy of the original movie and not one of the new versions. Right after the Rebels escape Jabba's sail barge, we see a scene of TIE fighters circling the Death Star, welcoming the Emperor. As the scene starts, four TIE fighters appear from around the camera and fly down to the lower left. Keep your eye on them and *blink*, they disappear right before the scene changes.

If you gave EA money for this abortion, you are part of the reason why some publishers (EA, Ubisoft, Activision...) want to treat PC games as $60 rentals, and you are most definitely part of the problem. There are an ABUNDANCE of better, cheaper PC games developed by companies who want your business and won't treat you as just an open wallet. Sim City was a great franchise once, but just like Diablo, Crysis, and anything from Bioware nowadays, it's been consolized, socialized, and/or monetized into crap that most PC gamers want nothing to do with.

This "real cities do not exist in a bubble" is just corporate blathering to justify the always-on DRM, as if fans of the series have forgotten it has always been, first and foremost, a single player game, and a very enjoyable one at that. It is ABSOLUTELY IDIOTIC to force such a drastic change in gameplay/genre into a game that has been so defined by it's gameplay/genre over the years. Same thing when EA remade Syndicate as a FPS. A FPS Syndicate ISN'T SYNDICATE! I don't want to play with anyone else. I don't want my fucking savegames on your shitty server, even if it was an awesome server. If I give you $60 for your game, it's now MY game, and you leave me the fuck alone!

AAARRG! It's like PC game developers are all being run by fucking console kiddies and greedy shitstain corporate types who never played NetQuake or DWANGO, or Heretic, or System Shock, or X-Com, or any of the Black Isle or pre-Dragon Age 2 Bioware stuff, or any Diablo without a "III" behind it, or Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, or the Ultimas, or the Roberta Williams adventure games, or Wing Commander, or Tie Fighter, or MechWarrior. Deus Ex! A full fucking Deus EX play-through would be required before I'd even THINK about hiring your ass to develop a new PC game! On second thought, play it three times, once for each ending!

uuuuugh... so... anyway... yeah, fuck EA.

Ok, fine. Rage.
