Shrike Three, You're Out! Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Veteran Wing Commander artist Sean Murphy has something exciting for us. He's had some technical problems with the 3D models he's been using to create Wing Commander wallpapers, so he's converting them to a modern format... and he's giving the fans copies! You can now download a 3D model of the TB-81 Shrike class Torpedo Bomber from Wing Commander Prophecy! This is the detailed, high quality version that appeared in the Prophecy's pre-rendered cutscenes and publicity artwork rather than the lower quality in-game model that can be extracted from the game itself. The bomber is in MAX8 format -- three sample renderings can be seen below. Download your copy here (4.22 MB). But wait, there's more -- Sean says that the Devastator is coming soon!

Replay Art Bubbles Up Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Electronic Arts was kind enough to furnish us with a higher resolution picture of the EA Replay cover art. At the very least, this confirms the tagline, '14 Hot Games, One Cool Collection'!

Fans have written wondering where the 'Wing Commander' on the box comes from. This is the lettering used for several releases circa 1993-4, including the SegaCD port, the Wing Commander I & II compilation and Super Wing Commander. Oddly, it is not the logo used for the SNES ports of Wing Commander and The Secret Missions, which brought back the 'classic' centered artwork. The background art 'bubble' is from the original PC game's front cover.

There also may be good news regarding the release date: several reliable e-tailers, including Amazon and Gamestop, now list the date as October 31st. Electronic Arts' fact sheet for the game has not changed, but we will update immediately if this is confirmed -- it would be the first time in history that a Wing Commander game makes it out early.
