Elite 4

:roll:

Maybe Freespace 3, and like PS, a new X-Wing style space shooter.

X-Online


Yeah it's all space games, so what :P



Elite 4 was supposed to be in production back in the year 2001. WTF is going on with him?

Any new space-combat Star Wars game that was from the original trilogy, rather than the new (TIE Fighter, X-Wing, etc...)

I don't think we'll ever again see anything Star Wars related that doesn't reflect the "original vision" of George Lucas as he calls it that is demonstrated by the prequel trilogy. Even if they did make another X-Wing game, you could bet your life that a 10-year-old boy would be a major protagonist, that there would be references to "midi-chlorians," and that anything big would emit a ridiculous looking "ring" when it blows up.

I could be controlling a giant douche bag and so long as the gameplay is X-Wing and the music is Star Wars I will be happy.

Who really gives a crap if Solo shoots first? It is not like they are killing Data or anything. :wink:

If you look closely at the original you can see Greedo twitch just slightly before Solo shoots him/it.

So however you shake it Solo was defending himself.

It's self-defense, but in the original scene, it's because Han knows his life is in danger, so he calculates every little move, aiming his gun underneath the table while distracting Greedo with idle babble, and pulling the trigger just when it's aimed at him and he doesn't expect it. In the new scene, he's avenging the stucco wall that Greedo just ruined.

The second revision still supports my twitch theory(law).

Because Greedo was struck while twitching we get the non-standard blaster path. It is not visible from this diagram but there is also an arc to the blaster path.

Solo was never under the impression that his life was in danger as he had too much sack for such a thought. He merely used his superior reflexes to remove his blaster and fire an accurate shot in less than a quarter second. Perhaps Solo was force-touched which would explain this incredible response.

Shadowrun 2, the RPG game, not the shooter.

I think that's it.

Dungeon Keeper 3. Where the hell is it?!!! I just played DK2 (again) at 1920 x 1200.. Fantastic game. Hilarious and fun to actually play, unlike some of the dross these days.

Vampire bloodlines 2 (probably not the title but hey). Need I say more about this game?... I hope not.

Fallout 3...oh, it's in development you say? Ok, how about Thief 4? Pardon? That too!! Baldur's Gate 3... are they making this as well goddamnit!!

I give up on the third choice... Manic Miner 2?
