I didn't see it mentioned here yet, but new star wars cab in the works. I guess the unveiling is tomorrow.

Bets on whether it will be awesome or blow chunks?

lilshawn:
Initially it will be awesome, but then when the wedding night is over...people will realize it blows chunks.

it will start to be a rehash of the classic vector game, but will be done so poorly that you wonder why they'd tried at all. after the completion of the "classic" level you will be presented with a game of a different type. (side scroller or top down first person, what have you) where you will feel such a disconnect from the action that keeps changing you cease trying to play. (or you continue to play to see what other crap they came up with)

overall it will be a 4  out of 10 mainly due to hardcore star wars fans going ape ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- for it, but everyone else seeing it for what it is...a lackluster follow up to an otherwise okay game.

timestamp for the future.

pbj:
I'll never see one in person, much less ever play it, so I guess it doesn't matter either way.

Vigo:
I personally think if they do anything but a strict dog fighting game, it will be mediocre at best. There are numerous linkable racing cabs, I would love to see a linkable x-wing vs tie fighter machine. Allow co-op missions where you are on the same squadron, or do head to head combat with the other player.

Cobolisdead:
I really liked the 90's Arcade game, but I have to admit to never seeing nevertheless playing an 1983 Star Wars Arcade machine. I am quite curious to what this will be.
