Although I think that Kotaku writer is getting a bit excited, it seems more likely to me that EA are planning to do the same thing as Lucasarts and release the old games on Steam.
Not that I'd complain about a new Wing Commander :)

I'm going to call you on that one. Go around killing game company execs, leaving a note that you want a new Wing Commander or X-Wing game. Sooner or later, they will comply. That, or you get the chair. Either way, it should be pretty entertaining for all of us :)
And yes, Wing Commander would be nice. I never played it when it first came out, so it would be nice to see what everyone's been on about all these years!
The good old days sucked, ok. No ifs or buts about it. Deal with it. :D
Edit: I've played almost the complete series, staring from WC 2. WC IV was breathtaking on video, while WC: Propehcy was a good gaming experience.

Gimme an effing break. :D

We can argue all day about whether or not all the shit we had to do just to get a game to run properly was "good" or not, and whether or not current games are worse, as good as or better than games from back then, but that doesn't make games from back then any less good than they are. :)

I totally agree.The price of freedom was my favorite in the series.
WC3 was also really fun,especially at the end standing in that elevator knowing
that whatever you clicked on one of those women were going to slap you hard! :D
We can? Yes, we can!! :D Don't get me wrong, there were true gems back then too, but as I've stated elsewhere, I'm not going back. Some games can survive the passage of time, but many won't. It'll be interesting to see how well the re-released Monkey Island game will do. New graphics, same plot, same gameplay.
[QUOTE=WORF;183542]The poll results [URL="http://www.gamefaqs.com/poll/index.html?poll=3573"]here[/URL] are kind of depressing.[/QUOTE]
Woohoo, I win! :D I didn't even vote. I rest my case. (Or, they are just messing with EA...)
That poll is depressing. I'd choose Populous though :)
Why was there no "None of the above" option?
For example, I can run ScummVM on my phone, why would I buy Lucasarts adventure games again (if they were to be sold on the phone) when I can just transfer the files from my existing copies?
And I have to disagree with that author. I'm sure there are plenty of kids now who would refuse to play something like X-Com or TIE Fighter because "OMG GRAPHICS ARE CRAP GIVE ME BATTLEFRONT!"
And yes I have seen comments like that with the whole Lucasarts rereleasing old games thing going on. And yet TIE Fighter is a much better game.
And yes old games I didn't play when they were new are still enjoyable now.

I mean.....seriously?
The whole "nostalgia bias" doesn't exactly apply to many cases. I never played X-Com until 2000, a good 6 years after it came out and we were already on the way to high resolution 3D games by that point, and I thought it was one of the greatest games ever made. I go back to play SMAC on a semi-regular basis and I have yet to find any game that's as engrossing and addicting.
