I wonder if that's true though. It's pretty obvious to anyone out there that there's a ton of interest, and CIG is simply failing in the execution of it. If anything, the $90M that CIG has collected should be a signal that there's gold in them hills, especially for nostalgia laden games like X-Wing.

I really don't think we're going to see any hardcore Star Wars IP set in space, certainly not in the mould of Tie Fighter. Look at the direction they're going for ship combat in Star Wars Battlefront. Everything is about appealing to the casual audience.

Yeah, you're probably right, and it's a shame. A modern version could probably be made for $10-20M and sell quite well. Luckily, others (mostly indie) are picking up the slack, and while they don't have the Star Wars IP, there's a lot of fun looking stuff out there in production.

Limit Theory
Rodina
Angels Fall First
No Man's Sky
Eve Valkyrie
Interstellar Rift
Everspace
Pulsar Lost Colony
Darkfield VR
Skyjacker

Probably a few I'm forgetting, but you get the idea.

mordor is super duper short.. shortest game in recent memory

its open world but it doesnt even have tons of side shit.. handful of main missions, handful of side missions, handful of collectible BULLSHIT... thats it

What? I played the main quest and did most of the "side shit" and racked up 40 hours of play time. It's not short.

yes, it is short

It's short because the time wasted travelling is filler, aka traversing the map eats most of those hours.

EDIT: Just saw that this is a new developer and that very few members of the past Mafia dev teams are on board. :/

story going around was that it got changed big time some point during development, im assuming to make it more "appealing" or whatever
