Purely from a consumer perspective, EA in the 90s is a different beast from EA today. EA today wants you to pay full price for a game, then several times on the back-end because "service". Any publicly traded company will fleece you for every dime they can though, because people have no...

As a side note to this thread, I'm now happier than ever that I never had kids.

Yeah, feature creep killed this game for me. Considering it was in development before it was shown, it has taken them around 9 years to get this far... Roberts better hope he can deliver, or you'll have pissed off nerds with thousands of dollars to spare coming for his financial head. I can see...

Hey LOAF, just out of curiosity, do you guys use an Amazon echo?

Yeah, I can never get the mpeg2 movies to work properly. I ended up trying the old patch, the new one, and MUP 4.1. I use Win 10 64 v.1809. I figure it's probably the mpeg2 filter as I get sound via the ac3filter but just a black screen for the mpeg2 videos. What filter do you guys use? I tried...

Steam takes a huge cut in exchange for publishing, distribution, communication, and other services that it provides. 30% or so. I have no issue with it being an Epic Games exclusive. They won't have to pay licensing fees for UE4 or unity if that's what they're using on top of the fact they will...

If I was you guys I'd quit hoping EA will ever be what it is. I'm beginning to think that Wing Commander and anything closely related to it is cursed with all the failed projects and discarded ideas. I think it's about time to give up on the franchise. At first I thought Star Citizen might be a...

The number in the far left was the fps (I'm assuming) reported by prophecy unlimited? Fraps was giving me a number twice that. I had the fps limit set to 75 though the config (my monitor's refresh rate) and I have a global fps cap of 75 through my driver (the max freesync range of my monitor). I...

Looks pretty good. And it plays really smooth. Fraps was reporting 150 fps though.

I just read this. It's a beastie, so wait until you have a good 30-60 min to knock it out.

Yes I did, and it's still there. Squadron 42. It's even expanded in a positive direction since I backed it back in 2012. I'll give you an analogy though. I go through the drive through and order a hamburger. It comes normally with ketchup, mustard, and pickles. When I get my hamburger, it has...

I don't care about Chris Roberts at all, and I neither have a positive nor negative opinion of him as I don't--or have the desire to--know him personally. Remember the cult of Garriott and the resulting Tabula Rasa. Roberts isn't the only person involved in the project. My opinion on the...

I watched it several days ago. Yes it does look good, but I'm looking at it from an objective viewpoint here, this is not the game I backed. C'est la vie. We'll see how the balance pans out when the game is released. Anything before then is just speculation.

I've given up on it myself. I used to be excited for it back in 2012-13, before it became the bloated mess that it is today. They really should've stopped taking donations a long time ago imo. We'll see, but I'm not holding out much hope that it'll actually be fun. Runaway crowdfunding at its...

True. It's just too bad the only two major choices are a turd sandwich and a giant douche (you choose which is which). I think I might actually vote with the Green party this time. Never thought I'd see the day I'd be willing to vote for Jill Stein, but here we are.

An ODROID (xu4 or c2) would probably be a better choice for prophecy. The cu2 is only about $5-$7 US more than the Pi 3 if I remember right.

What's the best handheld system to play your wing commander games on? Until last week I would've said the Shield Portable. Using dosbox it can Play Wing Commanders 1-4, Privateers 1&2, Armada, Academy, and I even got it running Prophecy although it was really slow. I stand corrected. Why? This...

The best movie by far was the first.

It does look a bit like a Zentradi ship like that doesn't it?

Fyi. The Pyra in the previous post is now available for pre-order. Dragonbox.de is now accepting down payments to cover the price of purchasing components for productions. Working prototypes exist and details can be found at https://pyra-handheld.com/boards/pages/pyra/. Considering the...
