I played the shit out of his games.  If this is half what he says I'll explode.

I absolutely LOVED the Wing Commander games!

Really looking forward to his next project.

If this revives the space ship-to-ship combat genre, maybe Lucasarts will do a revival of TIE Fighter.. 

Yeah I know.. I can dream..

Cool, I remember those as being great games!  I'm looking forward to seeing what he comes up with.

I can get behind this. X-Wing/TIE Fighter were some of my favorite games growing up.

X-Wing/Tie Fighter were good but the Wing Commander games were better games.

This is fucking awesome!!!

If this is even half as good as it looks, it will be a DDO killer for me, for sure.

I tend to play one game at a time for a long time and this one is going to get both my time and money!

Privateer, Wing commander, and Freelancer all cool games, heck I still have a Privateer re-mod on my system, maybe time to fire it up this week-end and kill 20 or so hours.  Cool

It's a pretty interesting model too.  He has large investors who are willing to float the development costs but first they want to see that their is real interest thus the crowd sourcing component.  We'll come to the dance just prove to use that we have dancing partners first.

It also brings in fans and customers early in the development process in a way not often done to help channel the development of the game.

Plus, he really has the experience, the vision and the passion for PC gaming and space sims to really create something special.  EvE with real first person combat or Privateer Online...you had me at hello.

I've been trying to find a game as good as Wing commander/privateer for years in that genre and now its come true.  Another studio is doing a Shadow Run game that doesn't suck and is actually an rpg in addition to the X-Com game.  Fucking win, every game I have been wanting to play.

Ya, I've been keeping an eye on the two shadowrun games.  Penny Arcade has a series of articles this week.  One for each of the upcoming games, and one about the RPG.  It's good reading if you're a fan of the franchise.

If they can actually hit their targets and goals on it, it'll be pretty fantastic.  The level editing tools for user created content are supposed to be PC/Mac only, but actually playing them is supposed to be released across PC/Mac/IOS/Android.  Maybe an actual gaming console as well, but I didn't pay any attention to that part.
