I'm over the moon that firaxis are making a modern xcom game and cannot wait to play this. The original game was my 2nd favourite game on the Amiga. So... What do does anyone think the chances are of a remake of frontier? (my fave game if you hadn't have already guessed!)

Dave Braben has supposedly been working on a follow up for years now but I just don't see it ever coming off. Considering elite and frontier were so much of a success in the 80s/90s i'm surprised that a developer hasn't already cashed in on the idea of a remake. The game was the first ever open world game that had no narrative whatsoever and you could play however you liked. There was so much to do and such a massive game somehow managed to fit on a single 1.4mb floppy!

After seeing how amazing the new xcom eu game is Looking, I couldn't help thinking how fab they could make a new space trading game! Just make sure this makes it to the consoles aswell as pc!

So...
Jake Solomon- read this and sort it out! Haha!
