They had me up until--

Argh. Star Raiders is not smegging Robotech. Also...

Atari 2600 game.
AAAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHHH. Star Raiders was originally an Atari 800 game (one of the very first), later ported to the 2600 in vastly inferior form.
That being said, if they're shooting for AAA instead of XBLA with this, it seems like they have little choice but to follow directly in the footsteps of the games that Star Raiders inspired. And frankly, that's going to be (

Yeah I don't really see why they need to add much to the original game. Having "quests" or whatever as part of a storyline doesn't seem like it would be a bad idea, but really the mechanics of the original would translate pretty well to a modern space sim I think. Frankly, someone should just make a Star Raiders mod for Freespace 2 or Darkstar One or something.

You might want to get rid of the "32.875" from your link as that puts it near the end of the video. Not sure you can read too much into it yet until they show some actual gameplay.
