This thread has been linked to the game 'Rogue Squadron'.
For those that don't know the rogue squadron rumour allow me to enlighten you with this handy SR news report.
Xbox Star Wars fans rejoice! As rumour has it the previously Nintendo-exlusive Star Wars Rogue Squadron series is to come to your console.
It's always an event when the Star Wars franchise throws up a darn good game, so all you Xboxers out there can start counting down the days (ok, months then) as rumours allegedly emanating directly from source have it that Rogue Squadron will be coming to Xbox, though a vague 'autumn '04' release looks likely. The even better news is that you will not be getting just one game for your money, no, but a trilogy of all the three versions so far!
Now I'm not actually bothered in the slightest about this. Although specific X-box fanboys appear to believe I am. A reply i gave to one gloating fanboy was "why would I care that you get to play a decent game or not" and his reply was "because it'll damage Gamecube sales"... will it now. Explain to me how an old game will damage Cube sales? By the time X-box gets their version the damage would have already been done... the only console the series would have sold is Gamecube. It will sell ON the X-box but not the X-box. So for starters it's hardly a big deal from a Ninty point of view.
But my second query is the rumour itself. It states all 3 rogue squadron games will be getting released. Now correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the Rogue Squadron series essentially a collection of upgrades? Rogue Squadron was great but Rogue Squadron 2 was essentially Rouge Squadron but bigger, better and damn right cooler. The third appears to be the same but with the major difference being on foor levels.
Why would Factor 5 release 3 very similar games on the console? Why not just release the third? I mean what's the bloody point?
Sounds very odd to me.
Dringo.
