SE5 Is it going to happen?

I would hazard to guess that SE:5 would be released in summer or fall of 2004. But I wouldn't mind if it came out earlier

I will have to agree with your statement Kwok. It would be very hard for Aaron to get SEV out before the summer of next year. With the release of Starfury coming this summer and no doubt it will recieve a patch or two. Then to begin development on a totally new game would take quite sometime to accomplish.

If no development has been done yet, I would say no sooner than 2005.

dont forget that mechanics are already in work and the ground for future SE5 rendering system would be laid in SE:SF. Game concept would be another question though - i have no doubts that Aaron will make SE5 as different as was SEIV when compared to SEIII. Same, but at the same time much different game.

I think it'd be cool to link players in both starfury and SE4 making some kind of way to play out battles like that, maybe not. I'm insane.

My Question is what sort of computer speed will they need? low end? 166+? SE4 runs on my 200 now and I can not afford to replace it yet

I seriously doubt SE5 will be out in 2004.
AFAIK MM is still a relatively small company, and depending on how different the SE5 gamelogic will be from SE4 (re-useability of the code), i'd think it could take more then 2 years development time.
