If they're going to delay it, at least add a possible yoke/control wheel peripheral too. This was a pretty fun game to play. :]

The problem with companies buying rights to a game is the game ceases to be what we enjoyed and turns into just another name. The title, even if sharing the same name, needs to be evaluated as if it were a new and untested IP. Sure, some factors could mitigate the risk, ie Bethesda with Fallout 3. Even in the case of Fallout 3, the new title may be great, but don't expect anything similar beyond the cosmetics of the setting. This is just how we'll have to treat any future Crimson Skies titles, as untested waters, not an anticipated continuation.

Agreed...still, I'm hopeful that one day I may yet again get my hands on such technological marvels as "Magnetic Missiles"...High Road to Revenge was one of my all-time favorite Xbox titles. :-/

That was a fun game, but there was also something missing that kept it a 'play for an hour' rather than an 'oh my god the sun is coming up' game for me. I can understand LaughingTarget's sentiment, but remember that new people at the helm has also led to things like 'Batman Begins' and 'Casino Royale,' so sometimes it can help to have new forces behind a great idea. Maybe someone can take this game concept into the new and now frontier of matchmaking, gametypes, and stats with more complex gameplay.If you're really finding yourself really pining for that intense arcade flying combat, maybe try Warhawk on the PS3. Or just play Crimson Skies, if I recall it's backward-compatible on the 360.

*sidenote; that should be "We do too" at the end the there, not "we do to."

I loved Crimson Skies. I really liked that Discovery Channel Special they had about the making of the game.

It's also the game that got me to sign up for Xbox Live so long ago.

One of the huge unsolved mysteries of gaming is why do crappy games continually get sequels, while good games that people actually enjoy never see sequels?

I know it might sound like a stretch, but Crimson Skies is my favourite game of all time. I must have played through it at least 4-5 times now.

[begs for sequel - even if it's the same engine with new content] Dang i loved cruising around the Arixo canyons...
