Well, rumors floating around the Net is that there is a new Pilotwings in the making from the developers of Rogue Squadron, Factor 5. Well, I don't know what to make of it, I mean Factor 5 can make games dealing with flight and whatnot, and ofcourse now how to make graphics looks nice.

I remember renting Pilot Wings 64... it was fun from what I remember... I'll be looking into this one for sure.

Oh, I dunno, I mean, Paradigm did such a good job on Pilotwings 64 that somehow it should really belong to them as a franchise for the GC. Sadly, I believe that Paradigm went bust recently, so I suppose Factor 5 are ideal replacements. In a utopia of course, Nintendo would buy out the shell of Paradigm and dedicate it to Pilotwings, but sadly it will not come to be.....

But yeah, Pilotwings is really fun. :)

I've just had a horrible thought: What if Pilotwings for the GC doesn't scale the soul-funk heights of it's predeccesor? I might never get over my grief if that occured.....

I thought factor 5 was a second party like Rare used to be? I always thought they could only make games on a Nintendo console...I guess I was wrong...

And pick up a bottle of SquareEnix while your at it.. and a loaf of Capcom... and a bag of Namco.. and a sixpack of Sega. Oh and don't forget to pick up Rare again. I think he's been over at little Billy's house too long! ;)

Nope, Lucas Arts just hire them to make the Rogue Squadron games.

3........2........1...........pants wet.

I might be one of the only people on these boards to own both PW and PW64 and I can say that if this game gets annouced at E3 I'm reserving it the next day. I cannot believe this news.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So because it just might be worse than PW64 that means that they shouldn't even try to make it? :rolleyes:

The things people say........

I have Pilot Wings on the SNES, but never played PW64... if I see it, I'll buy it. :D I'm trying to complete my N64 classics collection... :)

I meant that if the music wasn't as fantastic as the previous two games, then I would be annoyed, I'm not saying that they shouldn't make it at all Stonecutter. Lord, I don't know how many hours I've whiled away on Pilotwings 64, and the fact that there would be no follow-up would upset me greatly.

Nope, Camelot isn't second party, I'm guessing just very very close with Nintendo.

Finally after hearing about a bunch of games I don't care much for like MGS, FF, etc. a game I love is rumoured. I'll definitely be getting it if it comes out.
