While scanning through my usual round of tech and gaming websites this evening I came across this seemingly odd remark in an article titled, "What's Killing Game Development" from the usually quite authoritative Jakub at Firingsquad (emphasis added): Not wanting to dredge up any buried...

Yeah, that's correct; the entire Arena gameplay section is unedited and basically bookended by the other clips. If the the Arena footage had just included the weapons and sound effects without the accompanying music, I probably would have cut a few different pieces together from the other...

Thanks for the feedback, guys -- glad you enjoyed it! :) As LOAF and others have mentioned, there's so much to go on and so many cool references and developments we're really spoilt for choice. It is a bit unfortunate that a lot of the media coverage has not grasped and/or conveyed the...

Howdy all, In anticipation of what looks to be a fairly imminent launch -- hopefully by the end of July 2007 at the latest -- I've put together a little trailer to celebrate the return of Wing Commander to the wider gaming public in a big way, when it will launch on XBLA shortly, and also to...

There's a new video up on YouTube -- a 2m:30s glimpse at some Protoss units. I believe this is an exclusive clip from the latest PC Gamer.

The whole reason for Hobbe's escape was to get the information he'd captured regarding the T-Bomb back to Thrakhath -- the cutscene showing Blair arriving on the flight deck to find a dying Cobra, shows her giving him a PDA she had recovered from Hobbes with a recording of Paladin's T-Bomb...

I don't have my WC3 novel to hand, but I believe Thrakhath is aware of unusual activity in-system and had recently doubled patrols after a destroyer had discovered one of the Confed supply depots and obliterated it. However, I think he is only made aware of the Excaliburs when they descend to...

Done. It's good to see that Arena is already fairly well established in the wider gaming consciousness, as Firingsquad caters mostly to a PC-centric audience.

I'm not sure if there's enough here for it to warrant it's own thread, but Firingsquad have just posted an article on the Top 10 XBLA games and Arena gets a mention as one in the pipeline, so hopefully when it does hit XBLA there will be plenty of other "Holy Crap!" moments for those gamers...

I liked the Victory Streak elements and schematic motif of the previous site, but the new change is refreshing and it does seem a bit more functional.

Good work, Klav! Will we get a chance to fly the Rapier in the main campaign or will it be an NPC ship?

Sounds good with the WCM music, although it may have just been overlayed by GameTrailers. I recall it being mentioned that the music is mostly a (re-)mix of WC3/WC4 -- is the WCM music also a possibility or would there probably be licensing issues/fees precluding its inclusion? The...

Yeah, it all seems to be coming together nicely now -- these latest EA videos look sweet. I like how they've pumped up the music for these promotional videos too; there's a lot of WC4 tracks in the videos as well as some WC3, which were audible in the previous gameplay movies, but too much in...

Nice work! Very ominous -- the grain makes it look like a covert spyshot. :D Cheers, Bryn

I've been remiss in not congratulating the team on the excellent prologue and development so far! I was very impressed with the whole package and the amount of hard work and dedication to the games is plain to see. The recent autopilot and mission flyby sequences add another layer or...

Looking good, guys! :D The encoding quality doesn't seem too bad. I know you guys mentioned using Theora (VP3+Ogg) for the cutscenes before releasing the prologue. Is Theora better supported within FS2 than say, the open source XviD? Just wondering, as although I haven't been keeping up...

Good find, AD. While the exact artwork is not representative of the film's visuals, it's neat that the local promoters have gone to the trouble of producing a custom design, increasing the variation of posters made for the film. The fighter reminds me of the Bearcat. I noticed in this poster...

Thanks for sharing this, Ironduke. :) The acceleration is nice and sensitive like the original.

He he, yeah that's correct AD. Unfortunately my laptop's Intel graphics accelerator is not capable of any anti-aliasing, so it looks rather jaggy, but here is a slightly larger Loaf of Connies. :) Cheers, Bryn

Nicely done! :D Did you use the video capture capability in DosBox to grab the footage? Cheers, Bryn
