this looks really good and I encourage you to watch the exteded trailer because he discusses the PC platform and why he likes it.

It'll never be a true space flight sim thinger unless it supports force feedback joysticks out of the box.

Yes, force feedback. That Crap needs a comeback. Reboot. Whatever.

no not yet they are trying to get money to help the project but a lot of the game is finished and they are releasing something soon to people who donate.  I thnk they are not affiliated with a publisher(EA,UBISOFT etc..) So they are trying to do this on their own.  The main guy says he hates consoles and this is a PC only game.  SO im thinking of donating.

I really wish they had gone through with cross platform gaming. Then all those console gamers would realize how inferior their gaming is when compared to PC.

Though I have to admit..... a AAA+ quality space flight sim programmed to work with the kinect would be kinda hot.

Just so your spaceship can move forward when you make humping motions at your TV?

I really wish Lucasarts would bring back their old flight simulators. Would love to see XvT or X-Wing Alliance in all of DX11 glory.

I spent a huge amount of time playing Freelancer online.  Loved it.  I was looking forward to Black Prophecy and JumpGate: Evolution.  Played in the beta for Black Prophecy but it just felt very cookie cutter with no depth.

There is still a decent Freelancer community and I check up on it probably yearly.  Still amazes me how many people still play this game.

This game looks incredible.   I definitly donated.

I see they just started a kickstarter campaign on top of the current system for donating funds.  they said in 12 hours they amassed 250,000 from kickstarter.  It seems that they will have no problem reaching their goal at this rate.  They also said any additional funds will go to adding more content to the universe.
