Ok, so I haven't bought any CS product yet (*dodges rotten tomatoes*), but I am planning on it soon.

In any case, I figured I would do a little prelim work to get into the spirit of Crimson Skies. I Tivo'ed 'The Rocketeer' from HBO a few weeks ago and finally watched it. I remember not liking it much in the theater but I really enjoyed it this time around! And just try telling me that watching those planes racing around the pylons or the huge drigible doesn't get you psyched for some CS!

The other thing I did was buy the original Crimson Skies PC game from eBay. I had always meant to play it but I never did for some reason. After fooling around with that I have no doubt I'll finally be ready to take to the skies.

Check six!

You know, there's a new Crimson Skies game coming out for the Xbox. I don't know when it's going to be released, but it looks really cool.

The novels pretty cool too....


Steve

the xbox game was pushed back to september.

the crimson skies pc game is really good. Just beware of the first Hollywood mission...man those obstacles are hard (one of the obstacles is to fly through an "O" in the hollywood hills, yikes!)...

i found the game to be impossible on the PC until i got a joystick, then it became MUCH better

I look forward to the x-box version hoping the controls will be sweet

You and me both.

Well I'm going to miss out on the Xbox version probably. A friend of mine has an Xbox so maybe he'll pick it up. I do have a nice MS Sidewinder joystick to use with the game and I've been wanting a flight-simy sort of game for awhile. The last game I used the joystick for was XWing Alliance (what is that, like 3 years old now?)

dont give up all hope, though nothing has been announced. the trend seems to be for popular games to follow to the pc.

they said GTA Vice Cuty would not be ported, and it has.

Im not saying it will be ported, but there is always hope

I use the same thing with the game & it works great.

I would be surprised if they don't do a PC port at some point.

Is the XBox game to be live enabled? For play or just content?

reports are that it was to incorporate LIVE as the reason for the date being pushed back

I have the PC game, but am having a bugger of a time trying to get it to work on my system. It playes the intro, then locks up

only thing i can suggest is check www.crimsonskies.com. There may be some tech info on thier forums
