So, when is the Xbox version coming?

I know that this game has not been announced for the Xbox. I aslo couldnt help but notice that any depth this game could have that would make it difficult for a console to handle has been removed. With no real sim "feel", and more of an emphasis on action, this game is setup perfectly for Xbox use.

In fact, the controls would actually be better suited for the Xbox. Setup the sticks like a FPS, inverted of course, the d-pad could cycle through the nav/info menus, black button for mines, white for countermeasures, X button for hostile targets, Y non hostile, A for afterburner, B for missles/torpedos. To top it all off they could add support for higher resolutions with HDTVs. If MS wanted to be crazy they could even setup Freelancer servers inside the Xbox Live service, and bingo, you have the console worlds first online spaceflight exploration game.

If this game had stuck with more of a "Frontiers sim feel" id say no way, but as it is with everything automatic, this game plays more like a console game anyway.

Phil was quoted as saying they have no plans for an Xbox version.

Just rumors at this point, and I think it was Jurg who stated that no plans exist at the moment to bring Freelancer to the xbox, I would love it if they do make it though.

Wouldnt the decision be more for MS to make than Digital Anvil? I seriously doubt Erin Roberts wanted to make an Xbox game until MS showed up and said he was.

Roberts didnt make an xbox game, and according to the beta testers, there will be no xbox version. Get over it.

I like how since im flaming your dumb ass in another thread, you try and get back here.

Hey stupid, you know that Erin Roberts is working on Brute Force, right?

Maybe he's referring to Chris Roberts - but Chris Roberts designed a completely different game than this and then left the project as is known...

... what a mystery!

The moron answered my question about Erin Roberts with the reply:

"Roberts didnt make an xbox game"

Unless hes illiterate as well, he knew exactly what I was saying. I cant help it if hes dumb as a stump. (Oh, now im insulting trees)

Both of you - get into a chat room!

Maus, don't worry, it is pretty obvious Drago is being the stupid one.

Anyway, I don't really care if they make it for Xbox seeing as I don't own one and think my GameCube is way better! =)
