Eder noticed that Standoff hasn't released any new screenshots for a while, so he sent us this work in progress shot from the final cutscene of episode 2. The scene shows Bradshaw overlooking the Firekka's repair deck. Although this is still subject to change, word is that the Standoff team hope...

Since reposting the concept art for Wing Commander Online as drawn by Feng Zhu, Lorddarthvik has taken a liking to what might have been WCO's Dralthi. He has modelled and textured the ship based on the concept drawing and sent us a couple of backgrounds. -- Original update published on...

While doing some of his research, LOAF stumbled across a Original update published on February 22, 2005

I didn't realise it was that old. Chris pointed it out to me and mentioned it should be /articleized

Carlos Mendonça found something really neat that we don't recall seeing before - seven behind the scenes videos from the set of Wing Commander IV! They were found in the January 1996 copy of Multimedia World Live! and are a mixture of interviews, behind the scenes action, and even a blooper...

If you were interested in the game Nexus: The Jupiter Incident which we covered last October, you might be interested to know that the game starts shipping in the US tomorrow. It should appeal msot to fans of the strategy game Homeworld. If you're wondering about the European release, that was...

It's worth noting that in the FM Towns version of WC1, there is speech inflight. In Japanese!

ZFGokuSSJ1 was playing with the Wayback Machine, when he found this old article from PC Gamer about Prophecy when it was first shown at E3 in 1997. There is also mention of the game's multiplayer support, and how that was being handled by a completely separate team. Unfortunately, as we all...

Unfortunately we've had some email problems over the last day, which weren't helped when some undelivered mail fell into a black hole. If you sent mail to any @wcnews.com address on either Saturday or today, please resend it. Thanks very much. -- Original update published on February 20, 2005

John Rhys Davies is from Salisbury, not Wales. I was considering putting a (?) after "Scottish" too since we know it's an act, but figured people might not get it.

Raptor reports that John Rhys Davies will be attending the Collectormania convention this year. The convention takes place in Milton Keynes, England on April 29th through to May 1st, and is a great opportunity to get your copies of Wing Commander III and IV signed by your favorite Scottish...

Oh wow, good spotting on the Last Exile suit. I knew I recognised it. It's great because it's pretty similar to actual WC suits.

Following on from Heart of the Tiger's insane photoshops from last month, HoTT has continued the picture depicting Sosa as Belldandy from Ah, My Goddess. Sadly we haven't been able to identify all of the costumes this time around, but Chris thinks that Dekker's costume is from Final Fantasy, and...

Tolwyn sent us this article from the January edition of german magazine PC Games. There are two columns of interest to WC fans. The first notes that Wing Commander III was the first game reviewed by the magazine to receive a score of 96%, a score only recently matched by Half Life 2. The second...

After suffering from further technical issues since returning from a year of downtime just before Christmas, German site WingCenter is once again back online. Since the site's updates are now entirely in German, it's hard for most of us to understand what they're talking about, but it appears...

If you're planning to go see Tom Wilson at tonight's Back to the Future encore presentation, tonight is the night. Sadly if you haven't booked a ticket yet you're probably too late but you still may be able to grab an autograph. Bonus points if you ask him something Wing Commander related during...

ZOmegaZ's project to recreate Armada which made a sudden appearance last month seems to have made huge improvements since the original release. A new version 0.6 is now available from Sourceforge, and includes features such as vastly improved graphics, and the sector map now lists system names...

Since the Secret Ops site was taken offline, the only way that people have been able to get their downloaded copies of the game running is with a tool such as HCl's key generator. But it seems that it's still possible to get a registration code from the official site! Josh Bava noticed that the...

Since the discovery of a further two Austrian comics last week, we've been confused about what the comics actually mean. Well, wonder no more as Starman has provided us with translations lovingly photoshopped over the original images. That's an interesting nurse they have there. --...
