holy fuck this is an old post, but imma comment anyway!:

Yeah, well I'm 2 years after you, how do you think I feel!

But, with recent Sol: Exodus quicklooks and stuff, and Tested doing Star Wars lego, and me building an X-WIng this saturday, ALL I can think of thios morning seems to be "Tie Fighter, Tie Fighter, Tie Fighter" because that thing was amazing. Let me max out the speed on an interceptor and go roaring!

I had about the same feeling, but replacing Tie Fighter with Freespace. It's a bit too early in the year for my yearly Freespace 1/2 playthrough tho.

SOL: Exodus controlled too wonky and just didn't do it for me at all :(

Did you try Evochron Mercenary any? That game has future potential if the guy who built it would flesh out the story more.

Haven't yet, should try and watch the quick look when I get the time and then go from there. If it's similar to Privateer and more understandable than X3 seemed to be, then that could be pretty great.

Let us over analyze those two extra dots with out TV CSI technology and zoom right in to see what secret messages lay between the pixils!
 
The whole Star Wars flight sim added to steam; i'd buy the collection in a heart beat.
 
A remake with better graphics to the series; even more buy-ing-ish extra good...style......deluxe
 
A whole new game would be great as well, i liked X-wing Alliance and i'm still disappointed that there's no news of a new game...what i want to see from a new one is more gound missions and more interior missions and good multiplayer with various mission types.

" I probably spent more time playing Tie Fighter than I did any other game (which if you know me is saying a lot).  The game had a lot going for it: well-designed missions that could be attacked in multiple different ways, secret objectives that added to replayability, ship and weapon selection and other personalizations, etc.  Plus, the fact that you could fly for the Empire.  At a time when most games had a very clear line between good guys and bad guys, and moral choices were almost always made for you, this may be the part that most stands out as I look back ~15 years after I first played it.

My first online multiplayer experience was X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter, I was heavy into that stuff and not bad to boot...those were great days...the real reason I enjoyed it was the fact the a flight stick could be used which made it feel so realiztic when you had a throttle control, quick hit buttons, and force feedback, but playing that now would only seem old and bland, exspecially since I dont own a stick anymore, and an X-box live arcade realease seems impossible for a re-hash since there were so many key commands in the old games such as setting speed, shield, and weapon power schemes, changing flight speed, setting deflector area (Front, back, or a all), locking s-foils into attack position.....actually, you know what, if they made the next game where all it was, was an fully detailed X-Wing, and all you did was push the A-Button to toggle your s-foils....I Would So Buy That!

I would be totally psyched for a modernized update of the original game, but there's no way I could play the original again.
It's been long enough that I could play through the same story mode without much deja vouz and I don't know if a new, different x-wing or tie fighter would cut it.

A update like Monkey Island (like most people have said) with online co-op or deathmatch added would be absolutely awesome.

Needs to be a proper sequel to TIE Fighter, with the excellent story telling and mission structure that implies.  I'm with Brad on this one, I don't know that anyone EXCEPT Larry Holland and company could pull it off properly, atleast from a design standpoint.

A new game with the same basic game mechanics as the original X-Wing and TIE Fighter games might actually get me back into Star Wars. They were friggin' AWESOME.

  64 (or more)player team objective based death match 
flight squadrons like racing teams in forza
i like the medal case to mark all of your achievements 
blah, just re-texture the old game and i'd buy it .. =(

it'll probably come out a few years from now

I read that as 'X-Wing Alliance 2: Confirmed!"

" omg omg omg omg *jitters like a sugared up kid* If this is going to be a new XVT game my life is now complete. First Mechwarrior, now THIS! "

I actually never played X-Wing or TIE Fighter, but I would certainly buy it if it was available through Steam. I have heard great things.

Please, please, please, please, please, please be a remake of the old games, or better yet a whole new sequel.

Those games are the best Star Wars games ever made. While those Jedi RPG games are all the rage now, that is not what Star Wars is about.
 
Star Wars is about high speed epic space battles!!!!

Please Want!

I would crap my pants if they re-make this. Xwing vs tie fighter was one of the best games I've ever played, and I've played a lot. I just hope if they do this they land it on PS3.

"For high flying space fighter MP combat I always preferred Sub-Space! "

An XBLA version...that would not fit the controls of the game. You had to utilize a ton of keys to play very effectively. Sure you could just use the throttle and weapon switch buttons, but to play at full efficiency you had to put ships to memory, adjust shield, lasers, and engines, command wingmates, switch through different classes of ships, choose weapon linkages, and a myriad of other things you just cannot do on a 360 controller.

Sounds to me like there just trying to spread roumours, however the further is spreads the more Lucas Arts may consider it *cross fingers
I would like to see a enhanced version of the orginal X-Wing game, that would take me back to my childhood ^_^

Until LucasArts can really prove to me that they've repented and taken a new positive course, I'm forced to assume they will do whatever route lets them gouge the most money from the most people with the least cost.  Steam release it is.   Then maybe an iPhone app.

I dont want X-Wings or anything else. Just let me play Day of the Tentacle again soon please,

I never played the original X-wing or Tie Figher, but I've heard tonnes of good things, so any of the options would be something I'm interested in.

I love how LucasArts has changed so quickly over the past few months. Bringing back this old series would be awesome!

Sigh... I hope it's a new game. That would be great.

need new tie-fighter NOW NOW NOW

I wish Acti-Vivindi would do the Sierra adventures some justice instead of the half-assed digital version of the disc "collection" series that was already poorly slapped together a few years ago.

Really matter?  :P

I wore out two joysticks on X-Wing back in the day. The joy of X-Wing was that it was usually just you and a few other X/Y/B/A-Wings against a whole slew of Tie Fighters. I always avoided Tie Fighter because (from my X-Wing experience) it seemed like it would be you and a bunch of Tie Fighters against just a few Rebel fighters. I seriously doubt that was the case, but my young mind always had that idea so I missed out it seems. They should TOTALLY remake Tie Fighter so I'll finally have a chance to play it.

I t would be fantastic if true, I absolutely loved the original game, I played it obsessively for months.

I've only played X-Wing Alliance when it comes to the X-Wing/TIE Fighter-series and it was okey, but nothing great.

omg omg omg omg *jitters like a sugared up kid* If this is going to be a new XVT game my life is now complete. First Mechwarrior, now THIS!

I think that TIE Fighter was the first game I ever finished, and it caught me completely by surprise.  I was just expecting the game to go on forever, so when the credits started rolling I was crestfallen.  It never occurred to me that there would be an end to the missions, which kept getting crazier and crazier.  The TIE Defender? Absolutely nuts.
 
Also, way better than the Rouge Squadron games.

X Wing was my obsession back in 1993.  I used to watch just the beginning of these games just for the awesome cutscenes. Especially when I got a SoundBlaster card and could actually hear everything going on in the opening cinemas. Tie Fighter was even better what with being able to play as the empire which was such a perverse and awesome idea when I was 8 years old. I even did a book report on The Stele Chronicles which was a short story packed with Tie Fighter that also acted as a manual for the game itself.
 
So I think it should go without saying that a new game in the series would be more than a little welcome.

Proud to say that I still have right here on my wall the Tie Fighter poster that I ordered with my original copy of the game, 
from the LucasArts store.
 
Wishlist for X-wing: better balancing, of course.  Fewer escort missions.  And a bevy of cheats/trainers.  God, some of those were hilarious.  Oh, and animated sprite cutscenes please.  Don't go all "re-imagined" just to keep your artists busy.
Or legos. But only animated sprite legos.

Fact: Best thing about X-wing was the fact it SPED YOU UP in the trench run.  So few games bother to do that.
Man, now I gotta look at new flight sticks.  Been ages.  I've never owned a flight stick that wasn't a DA-15.  Oh Thrustmaster, whither the glory days?

Release for the PS3. That's all I am asking, Lucasarts!! I've been loyal, I've been there when you needed me most... BUT GOD DAMN IT, RELEASE AN X-WING OR TIE FIGHTER GAME ON THE PS3.

X-Wing Vs. TIE Fighter was the shit.  I would definitely jump at the chance to play that again, as the originals just don't run well on newer PC's.  And an XBLA remake?  Or, dare to hope, a full blown new XVT game?  Hot damn that would be fantastic.

Too young to have played x wing or tie fighter but if brad speaks of it in such reverence, I'd be down to have it back

TOP DOWN 2D MULTIPLAYER DEATHMATCH FTW

I'd hope this stonker arrives on ALL platforms, but as a person with all platforms available and a long time XvT mad fan I really want it to arrive on PSN because this is a game that could actually benefit from the Sixaxis motion control.  There were a whole lot of keys in the game, and having freeform flight would be quite a slick option.

I will take anything I can get since a new Rogue Squadron game is unlikely.
