All your belief cannot absolve your sin.
Let's talk about what's likely to be the case if those rumors we heard about are true.
These are all guesses, but I'm trying to keep them realistic.
1. The game will in all likelyhood not be numbered officially. Unless I'm mistaken, neither was prophesy. The point here is that numbering in this particular case would only limit some of the audience. Some would wonder if they needed to play the earlier games first. For this to sell well amongst the people it needs to, the game will need to be approachable.
2. Will not take place during previous events, in other words, probably no Kilrathi (I'd almost go as far as saying it will steer clear of the nephilim as well).
3. Will be released for the XBox360. This goes without saying. I don't have a clue whether it will be ported to PC, but look at how EA runs things. Wing Commander is not nor has ever been a tech demo in the tradition of Far Cry or Crysis (yes it sold hardware, but I see a difference)
3.a. Will have been designed to play well on a gamepad. Whether they play nice with Ace Combat hardware we'll have to see, but console games sell better.
4. Will likely not have Mark Hamill. (not sure on that one, but I'd be surprised). Will probably have the same types of character, however.
Guesses: These are not as reasonable, but worth considering.
1. May have multiplayer.
1.a. if it does, the single player campaign may end up being somewhat dissapointingly short (not that we're likely to mind given a new wing commander game)
Anyone else have any guesses that you consider reasonable?
