Too bad Free Radical Design got sold out after Haze :( We should be playing both of those games already. The leaked footage of their SWBF3 was so epic... I still watch it sometimes and wonder what might have been. Hopefully the new blood at LucasArts put it back into development a year or so ago, and we'll see it soon. As for Timesplitters, I heard a very loose rumor that Crytek UK (formerly Free Radical) are still working on it... time will tell (no pun intended).

It is being made! Crytek UK have already confirmed they are in fact in the early stages of making it for the next generation of gaming consoles.

Yes, I would utterly HATE to see custom classes and an abundance of customisation. It needs to stay relatively similar to the other games, with a few game modes. Would be epic!

I played PC games in the early 90s. Star Wars Battlefront 3 all day. From what I've read, you won't be getting a proper entry in the X-COM series with this reboot.

The Firaxis reboot looks legitimate. It's the 2K Marin reboot that no one cares about.

Yes. That, and NES remakes. Even SNES and Genesis. That would be old school.

Sorry to those of you born in the mid to late 80's and 90's.

h311rais3r Does go a point what is old school? i mean eventually the ps3/xbox360/wii one day will pass in the box of time... does old school necessary have to be something from the old old old generation?

I agree. Old school is different for everyone. If you were born with the NES, then NES is old school for you. However if you were born with the PS2, then now the PS2 will be old school for you.

Just like people who were born with the NES, that wasn't the first games console, and I don't see them considering or even talking about playing older consoles.

At least that's my take on it.

I can't disagree with him, though, because X-Com nearly had infinite replyability.

If I had to choose, I would go with a proper X-Com update with a larger variety of weapons, armor, research and consequences. But X-Com has always been one of my favorite games, something many new-school gamers don't really appreciate about the golden era.

@vortis
I'm not going to disagree that X-COM was a good game with tons of replayability.

What pissed me off is his "Fuck battlefront" and calling it a "shitty game from lucasarts".

His attitude toward a very good game and its marvelous sequel is pretty disrespectful to Pandemic and LucasArts as the two games were huge marks of awesome for both companies.

RIP Pandemic.

Battlefront 1 and 2 were good but far from great. And don't get me started on LucasArts. Want to know why there is no Battlefront 3? Its because LA was too busy putting out shitty games to bother with anything worth a damn.
