Get your coat love, you've pulled!
Project Slypheed turned up today from the wonderful ladies at Microsoft. I've been told by a few kids that I should be expecting an east meets west battle.
Final Fantasy vs Wing Commander.
I've yet to actually ever play a Wing Commander game, but on this evidence, Wing Commander must have been fucking terrible.
From my brief play this evening, Slypheed seems to be a competent take on the arcade flight sim, made famous by the brilliant X-Wing and Tie Fighter games in the early 90’s. The thing is, what Square should have done, is simple re-release X-Wing vs Tie Fighter on LIVE Arcade, and let us shoot the fuck out of each other.
Don’t get me wrong, the game may turn out to be more than competent, but from this initial first play, I don’t have my hopes up. It seems to be the same old Japanese tosh, thrown out of a 3rd rate development studio, and given a fuck load of makeup to make itself look presentable.
You’d fuck it, but you wouldn’t tell anyone.
