| Possible Special Edition Of The X-Wing Series? | |
TheForce.net picked up an article from G4 that I and many others will certainly be hoping for! This from G4:
His answer? "We don’t have any announcements now, but stay tuned," said Rodriguez. "We
will soon….." Whether it's a full-on remake ala The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition or an addition to the company's growing Steam lineup…well, who cares? Either one would be the first acknowledgement of a major part of LucasArts' legacy in a long, long time. The last major release in the series was X-Wing Alliance." The original X-Wing game was the reason I bought my first computer! Other than the Battlefront series, the X-Wing series of games is by far my favorite and can only hope for a new cool updated version. Let's hope they keep it on the PC. More as the word comes. | |

"LucasArts' two-pronged attempt to revitalize
their classics with The Secret of Monkey Island: Special Edition and Tales of
Monkey Island appears to be a success. As part of a follow-up interview with
LucasArts president Darrell Rodriguez about plans for the months ahead, I asked
Rodriguez for thoughts on a return of the company's lauded X-Wing and Tie
Fighter flight sim series.| Tuesday August 04, 2009 | |
