Damn I miss Sacrifice.

Brutal Legend is a pretty awesome modern equivalent, you should give it a look if you haven't already.

God games (From Dust notwithstanding), and sandbox Space Trading games, a la Elite.

As popular as MMO's have gotten, I'd expect a Star Wars MMO to rake in huge cash. I'm an MMO hater (pointless grind, no reward, have to interact with people... lots of reasons) but if a Star Wars MMO allowed a pilot character type and a space sim where you could fly escort, or transport, or pirate in open space... I'd be there. I'd be there on day one.

I hate to break this to you, but, it exists, and it blows chunks. It didn't always suck. It was cool once, then the boys with the coding decided to rehash how the system of the game worked, and broke it, causing a mass exodus that very month.

It has to exist... post beta. I must re-iterate that I'm an MMO-hater and not like to jump on a beta-train. And if you are talking about that silly on-rails combat system, that does not even get close to counting. Rogue Squadron games were too "on-rails" for me. I'm talking free spaceflight sim. Alliance, XvT, Starlancer, ect. Anything less wouldn't even be on my radar.

I'm talking about Star Wars Online. It was WAY past beta. Look it up. It sucks (but it didn't always).

SWO? That had nothing like what I'm talking about. To date, nothing has.

Definitely space combat as everyone's been saying. I much prefer the 'really feel like you're out there' feel of the Xwing series over the arcade, 'right way up' version seen in Rogue Squadron and Battlefront. Just give us a 3rd person view with aiming sights and it's the best of both worlds.

does Arena Deathmatch count as a genre? I want that back. Timesplitters 4 where are you...

Also adventure games, and decent 3D platformers. Better yet why can't we have more of both in the same package?

Those odd physics-based 2d destructive enviorments-things would be nice to see big-budjet. Like on PSN or something. Shit like "Liero" and "Volcano". remember those things? They were pretty fun and ridicilous.

Right on, Liero was the bomb. Good as Soldat is, it's jetpack just can't compare to the grappling hook that Liero had...
