Poll: Space Sims

[UBERfionn]

Where did they go? I want to fly my fighter right down the nose of the enemies battleship and blast it to bits!
I want to go in with my wing of fighters and get in a massive dog fight.
Can you imagine an online dogfight with 64 people? awesome!

Oh Thank Christ!

I thought this was going to be a new Sims game in space announcment, not a Space Sim...which..kinda sounds cool actually.

I dont tend to find alot of them, EVE online, X3 and the Space Battles in Starwars battlefront and Empire At War are the only ones i know of.

i guess developers feel it would be a waste of their time to make a game people would call "WarHawk" in space...Though i do believe "StarHawk" will be in space, so i hear.

Does Freelancer count as a space sim? If so, then I loved it so hard I died a little.

I liked them but the last somewhat decent one i can think of is freelancer, which is kinda old, it was pretty fun to play online when there was an online community though, with mods and all...

Edit : ah! ninja'ed on freelancer

I've tried a couple of space sims and I've never really been too struck. I guess there just not my sort of game

Played Sins of a Solar Empire for a bit an it was pretty good but nothing to get me hooked.

Ya it does i played that for a while, it was pretty good. Would be great if they made a second one.

Aww i clicked on the link expecting something about a Sims game set in space, one that would actually interest me so i could send them out for a walk then take of their helmets so their heads explode... i probably need to seek help.

Do you mean space Sims like flight sims? i would find that quite boring.

i would be interested in seeing something like hellbender or descent done again, those were fun, and quite often made me dizzy and disorientated, but still fun.

I miss them so. X universe games can only do so much to fill the hole.

I need a pure combat space sim.

Ah, for the good old days when Wing Commander was considered a massive install. Holy shit, six floppy disks? HOLY SHIT!

Yeah, I'm a space sim fan. The aforementioned Wing Commander, Starlancer, Freelancer, X3, Freespace, Darkstar One...

And of couse X-Wing. WTF ever happened to X-Wing?
