    What's Next for Wing Commander?

    I think it's inevitable that getting a new Wing Commander title of any stripe depends wholly on how well Star Citizen and/or Elite 4 do. If EA sees the potential for profit, they will dive in. If not, they won't. Though I do think there is one point on which people are being a little overly...

    It's not Wing Commander

    And now, of course, we're approaching the 2800s. Deffo not Wing Commander. The comment about this hewing closer to the original Squadron proposal (which has now been highlighted on the RSI website) is worth noting, though, I think. I wonder if this is going to cleave a little closer to the...

    LOAF Fixes the Computer of Tomorrow

    So is there anything to update on this? Is LOAF still waiting for parts to come in? Has the 3DO arrived? Has it set fire to Karga yet? :V

    Behind the Scenes of the Wing Commander Movie (July 17, 2012)

    What I find interesting is how clear this makes the issue that the elephant in the room was SW Phantom Menace. The movie's fundamental problem was that nobody had faith in it because Star Wars was going to do better anyway, so why even try? You could say a lot about the cynicism in such a...

    LOAF Fixes the Computer of Tomorrow

    That's amazing. Also, I was about to wig out a little bit and warn you that the software for that might not play nice on anything remotely resembling a western-developed OS, but I got DOS/V confused with NEC's proprietary PC-98 hardware/OS frankenstein: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DOS/V...

    Names are the Name of the Game (July 8, 2012)

    Poll does not include Khajja The Fang, and is therefore inferior.

    Privateer Sketches: First Base (June 15, 2012)

    That is literally the first thing that sprang to mind - finally, after all this time, proof that at one point the Demon was considered for playability! I wonder what made them take it out? (Privateer, in my mind, suffers from a lack of a "fast" combat vessel in the sub-100k-credit range.) Also a...

    LOAF Fixes the Computer of Tomorrow

    Curse you, sir. I really wish I could remember the name of the damn place! It had to do with Fry's Electronics... I think? But it's not actually a Fry's? It'll come back to me, hopefully.

    LOAF Fixes the Computer of Tomorrow

    As others have said, L&Y has a massive selection of software from nearly all eras of computing; the only thing not really widely represented at this point is the 80s. It's actually a far wider selection of software than hardware, funnily enough. Hell, when I was in there last over this past...

    Corvettes: Paradigm vs Venture?

    The REAL issue confusing matters here, as this demonstrates, is that the in-game performance of the Paradigm doesn't even remotely match up to the model. By model and size, it should definitely be a (smallish) destroyer. In terms of real performance, though, it's no stronger than the Kamekh, and...

    Save the Behemoth.

    Getting back to the original question (and yes, I know this topic is ancient :V), I wasn't actually tricked by the "you have to lose the mission" thing, even the very first time through... because I'd played a few JRPGs earlier in life, and those had introduced me to the idea of "unwinnable...

    BREAKING NEWS: Arena Manual Sighted! (June 25, 2007)

    I can't believe that nobody's mentioned that Catscratch has apparently become a Major General. And, depending on the tone, may or may not be that impressed with a certain book. :D

    Are you privy to information we're not, sir? ;)

    Concordia image needed

    I sure do. I've always thought the Concordia was the best looking ship in any WC game, ever. Even the big battleboats in the later 3D games just didn't match up to how majestic the Concordia looks.

    Is CIC the only place where Arena gets positive feedback?

    For my part, here's where I get a bit "stuck" about being completely bullish for Arena. No (or at best limited) Z-axis control. One of the things that defined Wing Commander in the early days was that, yes, it had full 100% control on all three axes in three-dimensional space. In the early 90s...

    Er? I thought the Sivar-class was built around the superweapon.

    Screenshots Release Thread

    This thread has grown very, very quiet and that makes me sad... :(

    They say you wanna Revolution...

    The simple fact that the Revolution will be backwards-compatible with the ENTIRE FUCKING NINTENDO LIBRARY has basically already sealed the argument for me. The only question I have is "will they translate and release some of the older SNES RPGs like Tales of Phantasia or Star Ocean 1 on the...

    The <3 thread.

    In the midst of the slow news, the probable difficulties with beta testing and final polishing, the badgering about a release date, debates about the placement of conn towers, and a few apparent bannings (wtf?) I think it's high time for a thread dedicated purely to some <3 for the WCS guys for...

    Space: Aab

    True. Picking up the pieces of Family Guy wasn't too diffcult, especially once Cartoon Network saw the potential payoff. After a decade, though, the actors will have aged and whatnot, and making it believeable again would be hard. Given how the series ended, though, it's entirely concieveable...
