Already own the DVD version. What I would love to see is a Blu Ray release of the movie - any chance of that happening any time?

If somebody remembers the Red Baron, Aces over XX series, you had something like that. They lacked a story but the latter iterations, like Red Baron 2/3D had a well working squadron command interface (given you reached the necessary rank). I doubt that such type of game would realy fit the...

Fortunatly for me and most others we have not been affected by these for quite some time now, our civil societies therefore revolve around the day to day problems of its citizens. There is a quite high possibility that I might not be affected by war in my lifetime as has my father, woohoo to our...

Simply put you cant have that type of guarantee as we have a free market, and Greeces problem is that its companies just arent competitive enough. Before the Euro they could have devalued their currency to make their products cheaper - today thats not possible. Even if the Euro devalues, the...

As I already said, this is not limited to gaming, this is a question of law. I dont care wheter its a car company or a gaming company, if they have me sign a contract that is illegal to purchase their business that puts their business model into a gray legal area - the service itself is...

Dont get so defensive about EA, it does not matter wheter its EA or another company. There are set limits of what you can put into your terms. Allowing companies to ignore those limits effectivly deprives customers of their rights on a much broader scale than a simple computer game. You are...

Its not about what they actually do. Its about them ignoring the basic rule of law in our countries, imposing terms of use that are just that, illegal. Therefore any contract signed on these conditions is void. EA was quite fast to react as they already changed their terms where they stated that...

Firstly privacy laws are an issue at least in continental Europe. The legislation is different, the general approach to such questions is different than in the states, the discurse on such issues is different, therefore the laws are quite a bit different here. Therefore companies that want to do...

Id say that defending customer rights against corporations is quite important to us, whatever other problems we might have at the moment. Its not like these kind of fraudulent general business terms that are forced on customers are limited to the software market, either you defend your rights or...

One of the big problems about Greece but Spain and Portugal too is that there is no perspective with the EU rescue plan. Even with the 50 % dept cut that was agreed on Greeces dept will still only be reduced to 120 % of its GDP - this is due to the fact that the Greek GDP wont grow and probably...

I hope that the game, if there realy is one in planing, will be released for the next console generation. As of now any port would hardly be capable of utilizing the actual potential of modern PCs. And of DRM. I have not too much problems with it, as long as EA stays within the limits of the...

Just came across a newsbit that old Admiral Tolwyn aka Malcolm McDowell will get a Star at the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2012. Another Sci Fi Legend, not connected to the WC Universe will share this honor. Walter Koenig of the Starship Enterprise will also receive his star in 2012. Heres the...

I doubt that they would recommission small amounts of fighters that they probably had hardly any spareparts lying around. Even if they did, its a logistical nightmare to go into battle with a ragtag arsenal of a dozen different fighters on a carrier. In a battle of earth scenario probably, but...

Just did my every few days check on the WC-Saga site. Seems they are looking for Beta-Testers for the final release.

So in the end. Do you think that Arena was good for the Wing Commander IP, was it bad? Did it get us closer to a full blown release (console, multiplatform), was it a reminder for those at EA that they held an interesting IP, or did it disencourage them from touching the subject in the given...

They have also released shots of the yorktown class light carrier some weeks ago. The flying box with engines looks great too.

Just wanting to throw my two cents into the debate. With the exception of WC1 I probably played every WC title up until P2 when they were released starting with WC2 - and only after that getting my hands on the WC1 PC version. So my start was with WC2 and I was stunned by its cutscenes and the...

Even if you are using traditional naval design thoughts on this (which isnt realy working in a three dimensional space as it is on a mainly two dimensional scenario like seafaring navies). It doesnt even apply to the aforementioned flattop scenario. They dont exchange broadsides, they aint built...

One thing that bothers me with the radius explanation is that ship designs realy do not fit with this explanation. If it was a radius limitation you would expect to see much more sphere like designs that try to use every inch of the jump engine capabilities - something along the lines of a borg...

Firstly the list that you give is not realy exhaustive. As I pointed out there is a tendency that probably started with the repopularization of antiquity to name things after Greek and Roman mythology and history. Even our solar system follows such a naming convention, and that also spilled over...
