[QUOTE=Frankiscool!;37632568]graphics whore[/QUOTE] Thank you! I wanna know what the fuzz is about. Is it a game or a joke?

[url]http://i.imgur.com/moTSr.jpg[/url] - It's pretty big so i am not gonna [IMG] it unless requested. Edit - Also if anyone want's me to take it out let me know. Edit 2 - Don't wanna clog this thread , but i think it's a sequel to either wing commander or freelancer since there both in the forum and it's not 360(don't take my word) i asked support, my only guess of what to do now is wait [img]http://sae.tweek.us/static/images/emoticons/emot-crossarms.gif[/img] also i found this [url]http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/4772/1347291069212.png[/url] but i don't know if it's true or not .

So I got it but what is it?

Seven days until we find out...

Right now it could be anything. Considering the interviews Roberts had before this was announced I'm inclined to believe that it's going to be more Wing Commander than Freelancer. However, whatever it is he's planning, it is going to have some kind of multiplayer component based on his most recent interview and the teaser they released. That may rule out being solely a story driven space shooter like Wing Commander or Freespace. [quote]One way in which Roberts' new game will leverage current technology is through its use of an online component. He said his new game will allow the community to connect in ways that Wing Commander or Freelancer players never could.[/quote] He then goes on to talk about something that sounds kind of like what the whole episodic gaming fad was like some years back. I dunno. Like I said, the game could be anything at this point, but I'm leaning more towards a Wing Commander style game. We'll find out more next week. I also still have no idea where he's getting the funding for this. It's why I'm so worried about this project and hesitant to get excited for it. [sp]It doesn't help that the last time I got excited about the revival of a beloved franchise it ended up as Mechwarrior Online.[/sp] [quote]Roberts does not plan to have a publishing partnership with companies like Activision or Electronic Arts for his new game. Rather, the financing for the project has been arranged privately.[/quote] Here's the link to the new interview that came out today.
