Game Trailers is the video-game-movie-clearinghouse-site that keeps on giving: they've just posted a new video interview with Wing Commander Arena Producer Sean Penney! It's in a crisp high-resolution format and lets us have a look at just how detailed the 'Freelancer'-style camera can be -- the tiny Confed symbols on Broadswords' wings are a sight for sore eyes. You can download the video here[/url]. Video - "Game Modes Interview" (44.2 mb, .WMV) Video - "Game Modes Interview" (44.9 mb, .MOV) For those who don't want to wait, here's the transcript: Looking good, Sean! -- Original update published on May 16, 2007
Ain't that the goddamned truth. Not only is Sean behind one of the best looking games I've seen in a while, but he's the best pitchmen I've ever heard be behind a game in a decade. His legitimate enthusiasm for the game speaks volumes of its quality.
I agree. You can see by just watching these videos that he's as excited about this game as we are. You can tell that he's a real Wing Commander fan and I believe that thanks to him this is going to be a very popular game.
Sounds good with the WCM music, although it may have just been overlayed by GameTrailers. I recall it being mentioned that the music is mostly a (re-)mix of WC3/WC4 -- is the WCM music also a possibility or would there probably be licensing issues/fees precluding its inclusion? The Broadsword's mass drivers look substantial. Cheers, Bryn
That's just an overlay by Gametrailers (you'll notice it also plays over Sean talking). EA doesn't own that music.
