    What a novel conversation!

    I'm in the minority: I liked The Price of Freedom the best. I really liked Blair's struggle to come to grips with getting old and who he really is (a born warrior). I also loved the more nuanced view of Tolwyn. Loved Blair using Seether's own trick against him. The romance with Sosa was handled...

    Realistic wishlist of features for a new WC game

    As I mentioned in another thread; if voice input peripherals soon become available (and supposedly they will) then I definitely want that integrated in a new game. If there were branching missions (I don't really want them myself), then they should do it the way Colony Wars (remember that...

    Escapist WC mention

    I'm very surprised to learn that Prophecy sold better than WC4. However, sales sometimes don't tell the whole story. I was pretty disappointed in Prophecy, even though I ran out and bought it immediately. It definitely made me think twice about continuing with the series. It was just so...bland...

    Realistic wishlist of features for a new WC game

    I thought of this thread after reading and participating in the "Wing Commander for a Modern Age" thread. So here are two things, off the top of my head, that I would want to see in a new WC game: Unique Weapon Effects - as an example, the meson blaster was supposed to cause damage as the...

    Wing Commander in the modern age

    Hmm. How about a game in which you play as a Kilrathi, fighting to establish your clan's dominance in the post-war era? That might make any romance sub-plot a little...err...umm.

    Morningstar in WC3

    Your point about The Phantom Menace being Lucas's original vision and the other prequels being him trying to please the fans is an observation I have also made. Great minds think alike! Lucas once said that he didn't care if he made a piece of art or a piece of shit, but after The Phantom Menace...

    Wing Commander in the modern age

    Since I played the first Mass Effect game I am convinced that FMV is not necessary anymore to convey emotion. It would be great to have it, but not if it was more $ than CG characters. I would definitely want to plays as Maniac. I mean I can totally see him as a merc/privateer (as long as we...

    What is your favorite WING COMMANDER game?

    Wing Commander 2 is the best, just slightly better than WC3. But WC3 is actually by favourite. Both of them are great because you play an older character rather than some young hotshot (something I appreciated even in my teens). Hamil's performance in 3 was especially good at capturing the...

    Wing Commander in the modern age

    I think the safest bet for a new WC game is a proper Privateer sequel with multiplayer support. If your player character is Maniac (voiced by Tom Wilson), so much the better. Sadly, the gaming industry is increasingly moving in directions that, in general, do not interest me. It sucks to get old.

    Morningstar in WC3

    It makes me a little worried to be honest. I don't know if you follow Star Wars LOAF, but it appears that it was great because of the team that was involved, and not just the "genius" of Lucas. Now Roberts wants to return to WC apparently...

    Wing Commander in the modern age

    I love WC, but I am against a branching storyline in a new game because in order for it to profitable we need to keep the budget down. That is why I am skeptical that Roberts will get to make his new WC. Big budget games now have to sell an absurd amount of copies to make a profit, and the space...

    Which Kilrathi fighter do you like?

    Bloodfang (WC3) and Sorthak.

    Morningstar in WC3

    Thanks LOAF. I never knew Roberts was not that involved with WC2- maybe the best overall game!

    Morningstar in WC3

    7 year lurker, first time poster. I've heard that the Morningstar was originally going to be in WC3? Can someone confirm or deny
