    Newest teaser




    and gameplay







    Wow it looks and sounds just like the old WCs.The VAs even sound proffessional(or better than some AAA productions) and it's only a fan mod! I hope it plays as good as well. I'm amazed what they've done with the freespace engine.

    Hope the story is not herpaderp, so far 10/10 for those guys.

    If you look at the progress at their site they have everything at 100% only 'final beta' is at 20%, meaning the release is almost here, few weeks. so yea after 10 years it is finished.


    Yea cockpits are ok, WC 4 had no cockpit but i got used to it after a few mins.

    You mean the same way Ultima V Lazarus was?

    EA has many sins, but wantonly shutting down fan projects isn't one of them.

    If they aren't using ANY assets of any WC game, there is not much they can say or do. They can complain about using the name however.

    Like Lazarus, they used NO art from the original game, and EA was then fine with that. I forget if the Laz team contacted EA though.

    Have a Wing Commander game that I got from GOG. Loved the intro and cutscenes, not interested in the fighting sim part:cry:

    Want to force myself to play it just to see more of the story.

    Holy fuck. If the game has a clip of the damage that my fighter sustained during the mission with a small comment by a technician I'll feel just like I'm a kid again. Awesome.

    This is like playing RPGs for the storyline. :decline:

    Actually, it's interesting how the Wing Commander series (mostly the second game) sort of presaged the now familiar Bioware style of emo character-centric drama in its cutscenes.
    If the current level of 3D graphics technology had existed back then, the similarities would have been even more obvious. Instead though they went the FMV route, which didn't really mesh well with emo drama for some reason (probably due to bad acting and shit production quality).

    Then maybe the game shouldn't tease me with awesome intros and cutscenes then fuck me over by making the game about trying to line up pixel thingies in crosshairs.

    Yeah, there is a bit of dissonance there by today's standards, but in the early 90's, it was pretty much expected that a game would have relatively epic-looking cutscenes bookending a much less impressive looking game engine.

    I'm no graphics whore, just having trouble enjoying it because... don't know.

    I love the cutscenes and the excitement this series generates.
