Yeah, hope you guys have a great time! Looking forward to the DragonCon updates from the mobile CIC. :cool: Cheers, Bryn

Yes, although how prevalent the live-action/green-screen footage is in-between the offline, rendered CGI (as seen in the E3 2006 launch video) and/or cinematics using the game engine, remains to be seen. -Bryn

You just can't keep a good megalomaniac down! :D EA have updated their C&C3 page and recently released the first gameplay trailer and NOD screenshots, which can viewed at the site or downloaded here: HD 720p WMV - 61.6MB SD WMV - 20.5MB Cheers, Bryn

I only really became a regular viewer of SG-1 from the end of Season 6 onwards, although I enjoyed the earlier episodes that I was able to catch sporadically due to weird scheduling where I was living at the time. If you believe what the internet tells you, it would appear that a lot of fans...

Thanks for the link Bob -- I recall seeing at least one HL2 space mod somewhere before, but couldn't remember the name. :) CNN's Chris Money has just commented on Electronic Arts' "Epic" Deal, noting the significance of EA's Criterion purchase in 2004 and how other publishers have been...

Or more specifically, the Sci-Fi channel has announced that it does not intend to renew the series for another season; Stargate Atlantis has been picked up for a fourth season. GateWorld has the full scoop and thoughts on the show's future. GateWorld has also spoken to the shows Executive...

Nice work, Cyberion! The background image is pretty spectacular too. :cool: -Bryn

Firingsquad have contacted Epic's Vice President, Mark Rein and EA's Corporate PR rep, Trudy Miller for some comment on the deal. -Bryn

Hey TonViper, thanks for the update. Hope you manage to get your connection fixed. :) Yeah, the shield effect on the fighters is apparently just the plasma visual fx from HW2 that is activated roughly where any weapon impacts a fighter -- there is no additional shield mesh on the fighters, but...

Interesting, how recent was this aborted project under discussion, Loaf? Prior to UT2003 (2002), during the UT2004 timeframe (2003-2004) or after UE3 was announced in mid 2004? I haven't played the spaceflight aspect of UT2004, which I recall being marketed and wasn't there even some...

Yeah, as czacen said, the Vesuvius hasn't been modeled yet and will probably be one of the last to be done. Although I've only been able to test the Confed units against a partial UBW inventory, Confed is able to field a formidable range of units at every phase of the game and once all the...

EA Press Release (PDF file): http://www.info.ea.com/news/pr/pr811.pdf First thought that popped into my head... a Wing Commander FPS! :cool: Okay, I know that it's very unlikely, but I remain ever the (delusional) optimist that an FPS set in the Wing Commander universe will be developed at...

Not necessarily. PSP videos can be up to 480x272 pixels in size and with either PSMF H.264 or another MPEG-4 codec should be able to compress WC3 and WC4 PC-CD footage at comparable quality at a fraction of the original bitrate, so assuming a reworked game engine didn't consume too much space...

Some neat finds there. :D I wonder why some of these textures and "fully functional" models weren't used in WC3? Time/testing constraints perhaps? -Bryn

Excellent news! :D Loaf, is the attached image a mockup that you put together or from someone within EA? -Bryn

Looks good, Queeg! The improvement in visual fidelity is quite significant now that you're using the PSX version for the FMV and DOSBox for the gameplay via the PC version. The composition of gameplay shots is also improved. :) Cheers, Bryn

Thanks for sharing this, Maverick's Soul! I just need to download the last two parts and then I'll watch them in order when I have some time. Unfortunately, I didn't progress very far through the game when I played it all those years ago and haven't spent much time watching the...

Good job guys! Nice to have the ever increasing WC media being extracted and created by the community in one, easy access location. Holovids is an apt name and the colour scheme's not bad either! Joe, thanks for sending the P2 footage -- a real treat. :D Cheers, Bryn

The new mining transports look great! :D I've attached two relevant shots of the drones from the WC4 DVD cinematic pack (16.21MB) I compiled. I have various other smaller collections of reference images, but apart from the shield pack, I haven't uploaded these yet, although I will create a...

Thanks for sharing these answers with Loaf and the community, Paul! I remember being very impressed with P2's graphics back in the day and it seems as though you were able tweak the venerable software BRender engine for excellent performance at the time too (although as you mentioned it could...
