	Thanks to a mate of mine, came and found this article of what's been happening with Factor 5 recently. I felt it should be discussed here with you all and see if anyone knows more info in regard to this because its a topic worth discussing about for the fans of Rogue out here. http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/newsArt.cfm?artid=18893 MOE -----signature----- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pCaOcv6OOQ Best New Star Wars RPG Winner Summer 2007 - War of the Sith Part IV: The Invasion of the Cha'ala

	I'm guessing they thought "Blue Harvest" was clever and no one would figure it out? -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT."

No real new information unfortunately. http://kotaku.com/5293867/ex+factor-5-employees-cry-fraud From my understanding, they are doing this to save their assets (and hopefully continue work on them) but something doesn't quite click about the whole thing. Hopefully we get more information soon about this. -----signature----- "Certainty of death? Small chance of success? What are we waiting for?"

	Found more tidbits and another article of the extent on what's going on with Factor 5, it seems the new Rogue game for Wii is being passed onto another company for completion from Factor 5's source code. http://www.marinij.com/ci_12602712%3Cbr%20/%3E Perhaps, along with the mythical current-gen Star Wars: Battlefront entry, Wii Rogue Squadron is now in construction at another game developer's battlestation. Otherwise this is just a cruel heads-up on a potentially top game we'll never get to play. Thats from a partial part of the article that im trying to find. The game is getting made which is a good thing but can't help but wonder who will take over the project.

	Nice to know the game might still see the light of day, but it's still terrible to know it won't be by the same wizards who pushed the GCN technology beyond what was thought possible for it's generation of consoles. Between Factor 5 and Free Radical closing up over the past year...there really is no justice in the gaming development industry, alas. -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT."

	Uhh, they transferred the code to their own shell company "Blue/White Harvest". It's not being 'worked on by a new developer'. -----signature----- Thunder only happens when its raining Players only love you when they're playing Say women, they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean you'll know

	Not necessarily, in this article it reveals something else, possibly the Wii Rogue game could be passed over to the unnamed company that is updating the Rogue games of past for the Wii-play to finish off what Factor 5/White Harvest have done so far perhaps. http://www.joystiq.com/2008/10/08/rumor-enhanced-rogue-squadron-trilogy-due-on-wii -----signature----- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pCaOcv6OOQ Best New Star Wars RPG Winner Summer 2007 - War of the Sith Part IV: The Invasion of the Cha'ala

We can only hope for positive things and theorise what possibilities there are. One is that the engine that Factor 5 was working on could be for a 4th installment of the series while another team/company are compiling a compilation of the first three. Factor 5 passing off their previous work to another company while working on a new one doesn't sound... right ... unless the article is correct that it is Nintendo (theory) who are handling it... or someone they believe would do it justice. At this moment, we can only speculate the future of the series so far until we get some solid news and status of such matters soon. I really hope the series isn't dead. -----signature----- "Certainty of death? Small chance of success? What are we waiting for?"

	Between this and Battlefront three, I really have to wonder just what the heck is going on with Lucasarts and the companies it works with... -----signature----- "I am no man...I am a space station!"

	I hope there is a new Rogue Squadron game we're about due one. I just hope that for once they don't rehash the same missions over again with fancy new graphics! Honestly, how many more times can we fight the Battle of Hoth ?

	Agreed, they could make a prequel-era Rogue Squadron type game, I think that would be fun. Yes I know of Starfighter and Battle for Naboo, but those games are almost ten years old, time for something new. -----signature----- I love the Clone Wars, can't wait for season 2! Can't wait for new Breaking Benjamin album! Go Colts!

	Post-ROTJ is where they really should set the next RS game. That's where Rogue Squadron was established as a brand anyways, and there's a lot more room for unique missions, environments, etc. -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT."

I've been wanting a Post-ROTJ Rogue even after Rogue Leader, it would be great to have it take place during the Thrawn Trilogy and just go beyond that or have Rogue Squadron Vs the I81st to play both sides of the war and then have a face off as a final level. Just hope this new Rogue is new in content rather just a rehash from previous games. -----signature----- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4pCaOcv6OOQ Best New Star Wars RPG Winner Summer 2007 - War of the Sith Part IV: The Invasion of the Cha'ala

	Make it a training mission, have a character have a flashback, make it a bonus stage- doesn't matter. Or, do like RS and include RL/RS in multiplayer so that it'll be covered that way. -----signature----- "When your future self tells you to do something, YOU DO IT."

	For me, Rogue Squadron III is where the series jumped the shark. Random EU locations thrown in with no rhyme or reason? AT-AT commando missions? Wedge Antilles on Geonosis? No, thank you. I would definitely like to see a Clone Wars or post-ROTJ Rogue Squadron game, but after Rebel Strike I'm not convinced they'll bother doing it right.
