I actually think Melek looked better in WC3. Which is strange, because IV had a bigger budget - but there are times where it seems the less polished of the two. The Kilrathi in III looked intimidating, alien and natural, Melek in IV looked like, well...a puppet. To me, he doesn't look organic...

I never played Free space, but I did read on here and in other places that FS2 contributed to the death of the genre. Is there any truth to that? Or just hyperbole?

It's different. I wouldn't say it's less difficult. In fact, there is at least one thread here on the CIC where people complain that it's *more* difficult. If you already own the PC version, then SNES Wing Commander will feel crude at times, the controls are a little more awkward, the graphics...

Sorry to necro quote. I've not played through Prophecy for years and I decided your update pack would give me a great excuse to go through it again. But I wanted to wait for the cockpits to be done, without seeming lazy by not going back through this thread, did you make any progress on them...

I don't know if it's just poor memory because I haven't played Armada for 15 years, but I always recall the space flight to be less smooth than WC3 despite sharing an engine. Maybe it had a lower native frame rate or maybe the hardware I was using at the time didn't cope with it as well, but if...

Bravo! Wing Commander archaeology, alive and well in 2019.

I have no use for these but just wanted to say it's good to see you post again. Hope you're well and good luck selling them.

I would second that. @DefianceIndustries For me, Wing Commander IV's immersion took a real hit for its lack of cockpits - so just the fact that you're including them is great. A virtual pilot would be a nice bonus too. I'm just thrilled to see cockpits to be honest. Now to take this even...

As others have said, this is looking very promising! Just a random side-thought; and not really relevant or important, but is there any plan to implement Blair's hand on the flight stick?

@Pedro - Awesome! Sorry if this is a question that's been answered elsewhere in this thread (I've not been around much lately) - are you using a new in-flight engine for this remaster, or the original WCIV one? I dearly missed the cockpits in WCIV, and a few years ago attempted to implement the...

That's true actually. There's a WC3 mission editor - turns out that the most ships you can have at any navpoint is 10. Any more than this and stability starts to become and issue and the engine crashes. Even if they'd tweaked the engine to allow for more, it'd probably be quite detrimental to...

Hmm, okay I'm going to derail this thread just for a moment then get back on topic. I'm also British. I'm probably more liberal now than when I was younger. I don't know if Wing Commander directly affected my attitudes toward military/war/patriotism, but it certainly had no small part in...

Haha, you make a fair point. Believe me I damn the DM on a daily bssis, I've even taken to trying to interact in their comments section but I always get downvoted for trying to suggest that foreign people have feelings too. My jibe at the Graun was a nod to their old reputation for mistakes...

Yeah, that's ridiculous. He was the star of the show for two games. Damn Guardian...

Can I say Privateer? As an open-ended Sandbox, it becomes shallow pretty quickly after you've done everything, but to get to the point where it becomes boring is a long and glorious journey. I just love the locations, the atmosphere, the customisation and the quirky characters. WC3 is a close...

I've been enjoying them and it's nice to see that you and Chris interact with those in the chat panel while Ben does his thing, it's like he's getting his flow on and I love how excited he gets - you all have so much passion for Wing Commander. All I'd say is more of the geeky curiosity items...

Ahh yes, that looks pretty likely. Haha, thanks? Not sure if [/s] ;)

It took me a while to find a Google image search result where he's without his glasses but with a beard. It's possible we've happened upon the picture they gave the artists working on Privateer, given the likeness of the way his hair falls at that exact moment, along with the eyebrow raise and...

Salman Rushdie appeared on the news in the UK this morning, and I was certain I recognised him from somewhere. Rushdie is a British novelist whose fourth book 'The Satanic Verses' caused widespread outrage throughout the Muslim world, and resulted in a fatwa, subsequently spending years in...

Hobbes' death, although rare, always triggers the losing endgame and return to Proxima. That's the only factor at Blackmane that causes you to end up with the total defeat. So if you're asking if Blackmane can be lost without losing the whole game, the answer is yes, absolutely, you'll end up...
