I don't see why. Space sims have a huge advantage graphics wise because there is vitually no environment save for a 2d bitmap for a star background.

The problem is that the industry has changed significantly. Unfortunately somewhere down the road game devellopers figured out that you can manufacture a million bland generic cookie-cutter FPS games and people will buy them so long as the screenshots look good. No one wants to risk reviving a dead genre. |
yeah thats kinda what i was getting at.
although in any starwars game nowadays they would likely incorporate planet based missions just because...
(last night i had a dream of what it might look like, it was cool) |

Food for thought: the videos and early previews show Vader's apprentice involved in activities that may well imply he's the most powerful Jedi ever (bear with me here - I realize that statement is purely speculative). If that is the case, he would probably be the odds on favorite in a Vader/apprentice showdown.
Now, presuming they don't do something utterly absurd, I think this sets itself up beautifully for a classically tragic storyline - something I think is really, and has always been, used too little in the gaming industry.
Just a thought - but I think that would be one unreal piece of fiction right there. |
Calm down before reality catches up to your imagination :p |

I can't remember what was the last good space sim game I played.
Freelancer? It's been that freaking long. |

| It looks pretty good, but I think one will get bored with constantly using the force to push something into another thing, and a storm trooper through some glass (though that might last more than just an hour of enjoyment, lol) KOTOR imo, is and was the best star wars game yet. Bioware had mentioned working on another one, which I hope will see a release!! |

Bioware has not said that. People on the net got all atwitter over a slide in a video, EA came out and said directly that Bioware is not working on a new KOTOR. |

I'm pretty sure it was from a short interview from that dork Adam Sessler did when he caught one of the guys from Bioware. It wasn't a real interview, he just happened to catch the guy at one of the gaming conventions. They would be foolish not to release another. never say never. Money talks. |
