Lobot Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 Wouldnt it be great if LucasArts put out an X-Wing Alliance 2? Starting with the battle of Bakura and going on through the Thrawn and Dalaa storylines. With more family missions and the establishment of the New Republic. Also with E-Wings, K-Wings and the like. Heh somebody should start a petition or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadPilot Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 You can't really release a new game, which is exactly like the old one, but with a few new ships and storylines. That sounds more like a patch. ------------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admiral Odin Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 it would be a sequal. Might be interesting. won't happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth Massacator Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 'prolly not gonna happen But I'm really, *really* crossing my fingers that they'll introduce the X-Wing fighter in Episode 3 so there could be some justification on continuing an X-Wing series game ...aside from the Rogue Squadron & Starfighter ...or whatever it's called.

aZnJedi588 Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 they could make a BOP style add-on couldn't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Darth Massacator Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 Heh, a darn good question, but you might wanna sit down for the official answer. LucasArt$ claims they lost sooooooooo much money on producing Balance of Power because fans of XvsT were making their own mods and BOP didn't sell well because of that reason. Which is a crock of *&^%, in my opinion and a lame excuse by LucasArt$. But don't lose hope, if the game has lost it's luster for you, you can always get some killer upgrades to make the game look even sweeter over at http://www.xwaupgrade.com. There's even a Battle of Yavin project in the works over at Ace Antilles site (no release date yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest garyah99 Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 Hey gang! Actually the problem with another X-Wing game, or a sequel is a political one. Lucasarts owns the copyright to the "Star Wars" line of products, but Totally Games owns the license to the X-Wing series, since they were the game developers. Since the two are no longer playing together, there likely won't be another in the "X-Wing" series. However, that doesn't stop Lucasarts from developing another series of space flight sims. They just can't further the XWA story line, or call it anything related to "X-Wing". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nob Akimoto Posted August 8, 2001 Share Posted August 8, 2001 Not quite accurate. While Totally Games does own some of the code used in the X-wing series, the franchise IS LucasArts property.(or rather closer to LucasLicensing I suppose) TG DID pitch an expansion to LEC, but they were kicked. LEC doesn't want anymore X-wing games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkZero Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 Yes but with the recent poll asking LEC fans what was there favorite series with final results being X-Wing in 1st place by 39 % of the votes followed by monkey Island with 28 %, that could inspire the mto change there mind about the subject.at least I hope it does.

Guest Darth Massacator Posted August 9, 2001 Share Posted August 9, 2001 I didn't realize Monkey Island had such a following. I hope the poll is taken seriously by LucasArt$. I was addressing the "why not another BOP cd" not the X-Wing scenario in whole, but Nob is right. TG did pitch a game and LucasArt$ shot it down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
