    Fragland.Net has posted an article about Project Sylpheed, a new space combat game that follows up on a popular franchise from the 80s and 90s -- a good role model for future Wing Commanders! In fact, that's how they describe it: "Especially think of the Wing Commander, with missions that can have changing objectives while you're accomplishing them, shields to take care of, different weapons and in-game movies on your communication screen." An HD Trailer is available here. Although Square Enix's original Silpheeds were arcade-style scroller shooters, this XBox 360-exclusive sequel is a full featured space combat sim with an integral cinematic storyline. Here's what it looks like:

    Have you played Silpheed? All the Silpheed titles to date have been made by Game Arts.

    Ah, ok. Looking at the quotations it appears like you did. You may or may not want to edit that.

    I haven't. It looks like all the Silpheeds had a different publisher here, so I'll just take the name out in that spot entirely.

    LOAF did the original text. I add sentences here and there to lengthen updates.

    Ah, now I understand.

    Yup, thats correct. The developer (until this new one of course) has always been Game Arts though.

    Sounds exactly like Wing Commander.
