Gamespot Ponders the Return of the Space Sim Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

GameSpot has posted a new video on the state of the space sim industry after years of relative hibernation. Star Citizen and Elite: Dangerous are previewed in depth, and both are compared to X-Wing, Wing Commander and Privateer throughout. It's good to still see the WC series credited as the king of '90s space sims... and someday it'll be on top again for a new generation of Wingnuts!
We take an early look at Star Citizen and Elite: Dangerous, two excellent space sims that show the genre didn't die when the 90s ended: it just went into stasis.
