Hi there, I've got news for us die hard space sim pc fans:

I've been in contact with duane colbert from microsoft in order to ask him for a possible PC port of the promising project sylpheed on X360 and interestingly, he said that if a sufficient number of voters manifested an interest in the PC port of the game, then game arts studio in japan might consider releasing a PC version.
I have made an official petition on the matter:

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/psylpheedpc/

Please, spread the word (and voters, come to me LOL)

best regards.

P.S: a lot of persons have been pointing me out SPAM issues lately, that's why I feel it would do you good to tell you that this petition is a joint endeavour: I posted it at hard light (freespace community), the space force home, the starshatter community, etc... All can confirm (because they voted) that votes are free and spamless. You might get access to another space sim for PC should you decide to space this petition with 5 seconds of your time.

I think I was the only person, in this entire forum, who loved Project Sylpheed. An since I own the 360 version already, and it didn't particularly sell that well, and was given pretty bad reviews by critics, I just don't see a PC release happening.

Who is Duane Colbert? Is he like Bill Gates' right-hand man?

I own the 360 version but it's been sealed for ages, so hopefully I can get around to it.

I, too own the game but have yet to play it. Also, is it Microsoft you should be contacting? I'm not sure on the details but wouldn't it be up to Square-Enix whether they wanted to release it for the PC or not?

no unfortunately, square enix didn't offer support for the game: they just distributed it!

the persons to contact would be game arts/SETA through microsoft (and duane).

Tell me, since you're part of the xbox community (and since I can't enter as I don't have an xbox and gamer tag), could you please post my petition out there GnawRadar? It might have a few more favourable votes.

Thanks.

To help a fellow DPer out, I have signed the petition!

Crimson Skies 2 as well ;-)

I'm still trying to figure out who has the rights to that one after FASA went under... I *assume* MS.

I preordered this game. I am pretty sure that I made a thread about this game back when it was on its way out.

Pc version, I am not sure, since the game is awesome, but I would rather have a sequel than a port.

I signed it for you non 360 owners though

EDIT: my vote might have gone in, but it wanted me to make a donation, screw that!

I own it too and it's the only 360 game I have in which I didn't even break the seal yet :P. I'll get to it some day, but I have 25+ games to play right now and with GTA IV right around the corner it won't be anytime soon...
