It's good to be back. I remember this place before it was the CIC...Good to see LOAF (or Bandit(LOAF) as he once called himself, anon!) and the rest are still running the place. But I'm done waxing nostalgic now.
I have something of a general question, that will probably seem idiotic to those who have been following WC (and PC gaming in general) more closely over the last year.
But what is happening w/them? Privateer 3 was a vaporware disaster if ever I've seen one, Origin's page hasn't beenn really updated since 1998 (!) and I want my Wing Commander VI! What happened to the idea of a trilogy of games surrounding the Nephilim/Star Gods/Bugs, just like the original "KS" series?
And I read on a post below that WC is being discontinued...is Origin out of its mind? Chris Roberts is going to duplicate his earlier success w/ Freelancer (or so I prophesize) and Origin is just going to give up the ghost when they had a better (cuz it was set in the WC Universe
) idea for a similar game (read: Priv3)?!
Oh...and while I'm venting...did anyone else find Prophecy to be a gross disappointment compared to what was promised? All the old timers: do you remember the pole they gave us on the old WC Chat Zone, and how they read our posts about the complex multiplayer options that (most of us) wanted?! And the game engine wasn't as improved as they implied it would be, and the plot's complexity didn't come close to being on par w/ WCIV...
Ok, I'm better now...But if somebody could please respond to my question about WC's future I would really appreciate it. Thanks.
