Heh! Check this out...from the press release:

Static Buildings (I need some marketing help here, this needs a more compelling description) - Great model variety, with over 80 unique models per location. High resolution and 3D detail for over 600 building models. All buildings have multiple damage levels and feature high-resolution specular maps

Looks like they need some editing help too.

Is this game going to be like Heros Over the Pacific? You know, 3rd person view and arcade play? If so, bleh. I want a really good flight sim for the consoles.

Agreed. I want some COCKPIT VIEWS, MUTHAFUCKAS! Like, click down on the right hand stick and be able to swivel your view around the cockpit. Hell, I'd be happy with fixed views on the damn D-pad. Is that too much to ask from the big ol' "next-gen" console?

Oddly enough, I was an arcadey game for the PC. And Crimsion Skies is getting old.

Lucasarts is sitting on the biggest gold mine of all time and they're just not gonna do anything about it.

X-wing for the 360. Next-gen graphics, online play with voice.

"Red Six, can you see Red Five?"
"Stabilize your rear deflectors. Watch for enemy fighters!"

Battlefront 2 just didn't cut it. I want the ability to adjust my shield/engine/weapon power.

Yeah, i would just love a nice dogfighting game, there haven't been any for quite some time...

Yeah, but the PC version is by UBI == Starforce == stick with the 360 version, thanks.

Did I hear Lucasarts?

Their Finest Hour: The Battle of Britain

Thank you, I'll be here all night.

Never heard of that one. Gotta check it out sometime.

While being a flight sim fan, sometimes I want a less technical game to have fun with, but it can't be too shallow or you lose interest too fast. X-Wing is a good middle ground and should be used as an archtype for other "arcade sims".

Just to let others know (if its not common knowledge already) that flight sims nowadays have so many difficulty options its not so far away from a 3rd person arcade flight sim...if you choose it.

Looks good to me. Theres plenty of ultra realistic flight sims out there. I want something where I know after an hour or of trial and error that I'm not going to die when landing.
