Is it any good? It seems that I'm going to need something to fill the void that's going to be created by the obvious discontinuation of my beloved Wing Commander series and StarLancer looks like my best bet. Just wanted to get some other hardcore WC fans' opinions about the game first. Thanks and talk to you later.
StarLancer...
- Thread starter Nohbody
- Start date
It has WC gameplay. That's always a plus in my book. Single player campaign is really worth shit, but that's offset to the immense fun you'll have playing it multiplayer.
It's just how I would've pictured Armada, If you'd be able to play that online.

The time is near.
There are still quite a few days remaining.
I don't care for fame, power or money...
I just want to FIGHT!

No. No invading enemies appeaing from nowhere..this is the lastest section of a war that has been going on for years. Humans vs Humans battling for control of just our solar system.
It starts with what is supposed to be a peace treaty signing...but the Commies decloak a massive fleet, and destroy almost the entire French Fleet.
I thought the story was alright, not up to WC4, but alright. At least on par with Wc1. minus any character interaction though.
Well... I happen to own both FS and FS2.
From personal experience, it has little historty involved (unless it describes out-dated ships). But instead both FS and FS2 are an ongoing storyline.
Heck, the connection between FS/FS2 is perfect. FS takes place right before, and during the Great War. Silent Threat (the FS expansion pak) takes place near the end of the Great War. And FS2 is 30 years after the end of the war.... and those pesky Shivans are back for more.
The Freespace Trilogy is just one on-going story. As for history, there is some involved, including if not relative Tech Room. Actually, the Tech Room is where you can look up on what you want about what timeline you are trying to locate.
Not bad if you ask me, considering that Volition and Interplay were entering the 'new times' when the games were made.
