One of my favourite games (which I'm not sure if anyone has every played or even heard of) was the SECOND Star Controller game.
For those not aware, it's a game where as humans, you got about two years to overcome an alien race (There's actually two...but there fighting each other and whoever wins...we lose) that is hell bent on eradicating EVERY race out there!
Along the way you can travel from thousands of different star systems...exploring strange new worlds...seeking out new life and new civili-
I'll shut up!
Anyways, I bought the game when I was was 12 and again when I was 20...and I was heartbroken when they released the third game...They just killed the franchise!
I'm still mad about it. But I remember reading about a possible forth game. Basically, what happened to it was what happened to the THIRD Privateer game: got scrapped it the development stage.
To make a long story short, I remember reading years ago about the forth game. Apparently it would have been little like Wing Commander! Even if the gameplay sucked, believe me, it would have been an improvement over the last game!
It sounded like it had a chance to be one of the better "Wing Commander like games".
But I read that years ago, and I'm starting to doubt some of the things I read (except here, of course).
But anyone here know if there is any truth to this? The problem was that the third game was made by a company called "Accolade" and then a new company came along to advance the story (Boy, could we here use that!) but did it the wrong way (We DON'T need that, but right now I'd settle for any new Wing Commander game). Still, a Wing Commander like game based on one of my favourite games ever...
