Interesting. Loved the Privateer universe. http://www.shacknews.com/article/75686/wing-commander-creator-making-a-new-game"With films you tell stories but with games you create worlds. If you've played my games, youll know that's what I love to do. I'm here to tell you that I have been working on something for just under a year, something that embraces everything that my past games stood for but takes it to the next level.
"I hope youll be as excited by it as I am. My new endeavor is still in its early stages but I invite you to take the journey with me."

There is more to the website than a countdown timer. I suggest registering. Interesting is a poll: Do you use cockpits?
Yes, I loved seeing the cockpits and want them to return. I turn them off but want them included for atmosphere. No, cockpits get in the way. Dont include them. I liked seeing my ship in Freelancer. I dont have a preference, just get me back in space!

While I would like a new WC game, I'm just as open to something new yet in the same vein. After all, the final couple of WC games were lacking what the early ones had. We need something more like WC1 than Prophecy 2, and it might be better to start a new franchise unhindered by Origin/EA attachments.

Let's hope it's a proper single player space sim, and not some MMO or free to play etc etc. so many ways to blow it, sadly.

Privateer 1.5!!! I do not liked part 2... Registered. Let's hope it's a proper single player space sim, and not some MMO or free to play etc etc. so many ways to blow it, sadly. Don`t think that he will make a single player space game.

Good find - I signed up too - thanks!
I kinda wonder if it's going to be some sort of MMO though...
