It’s phenomenal specifically because they tried to emulate X-Wing and TIE Fighter games (or so I read in an earlier interview).

I really hope they do an HD remake of those two. I would buy the crap out of it.

They could even do microtransactions and I would be okay with it (it seems to do amazingly for Star Citizen).

I think the problem right now is that the money guys at EA who HAVE to answer to the shareholders aren’t doing a good job of listening to developers, and they’re doing a worse job of communicating what the developers are passionate about back to the shareholders. Any enterprise that large has a ton of granularity, and…

EA has no enthusiasm for anything. All its studios are just making the same old IPs with either no changes or worse their changes just being more DLC/Microtransactions/Loot-Boxes and anything creatively interesting is axed because it could rock the boat in a consumer friendly way.
