Crimson Skies Next FASA Game in Line for Revival?

After the pleasant surprise that was MechWarrior’s retrieval from the scrap heap, FASA founder Jordan Weisman’s decided the skies are the limit for his new company Smith & Tinker – both figuratively and literally.

“Most of my time is invested in [Smith & Tinker], but in the wee hours of the night, I spend time thinking about the older properties. I think Crimson Skies is something we’d love to get some energy around, and we have some devious plans - we’ll see if those materialize,” he told GameSpot.

“Devious plans,” eh? Sounds… well, really vague. Still though, if they involve giving Crimson Skies a MechWarrior-style reboot, we don’t think we’ll have too much trouble stomaching them.

I bought the original, but couldn't enjoy it. I found the technology wasn't to to the task of bringing the underlying concept to life. I was hoping for a Wing Commander in the sky experience, but things fell flat in short order.

I hope current tech and higher production values will turn out a superior game.

OMG!!!

This would be so. That was one of our favorite lan party games. That is, until the nVidia 8 series came out and from then on, the game would not run in hardware render mode. If a sequal was made, I hope it would be nothing less than the origional. I am buying this the day it is realeased. (if it is of course). I am very exited to hear more about this.

I think my friend Mike Pondsmith (of R.Talsorian Games) was involved in the original. Any word on his involvement in the revival?
