If you could measure the weight of a mysterious tease in dots, one dot representing no possibility and five representing metaphysical certitude, LucasArts president Darrel Rodriguez may have just confirmed an upcoming X-Wing/TIE Fighter-related release.
In a genre like space simulation, you either go big or go home. But, with a focus on space combat, Starfighter Inc. is trying to redefine the entire genre and how people see it. Enter Impeller Studios' David Wessman and Jack Mamais.
The Star Wars franchise has produced some of the most entertaining games dating as far back as the years of Atari and classic arcades. There have been over 80 video games made over the years but while some may be forgettable, there are a plethora of releases that have been go-to classics across all platforms that still hold-up to this day.
The game, from Red Fly Studio, was meant to be a sequel to the infamous 1997 game X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter. Sadly, it never made it out of the prototype phase. It had all the makings of a great game but was killed off, nearly before it had a chance to be.
I loved this line of games. Xwing and Tie Fighter (the better of the two) were amazing. X-Wing vs Tie Fighter wasn't as good overall but was still fun to play.
