Blah!A True Story (part three of four)
Okay, it's not a story... but it's pictures!
The deadly Kilrathi Dor-Chak on a table at Digital Anvil's lobby. Check out their kickass magazine selection...
Concept art from Chris Roberts' current gaming project, 'Freelancer'. From what we were told about this game, it'll be both the child we never had and hard competition for Wing Commander Online.
This is Chris Roberts' personal collection of Wing Commander games (there are more outside the boundaries of the picture). The big WC3 box is apparently the Japanese edition or something -- Chris Reid and I stared at these in awe for quite a while.
It's Chris Roberts' chair! It would be completely unnoticable, except for the fact that it says 'Chris Roberts' on it and has a cool WC logo. I wish I could sit like that...
While heading upstairs to continue our tour of Digital Anvil, we spotted the Diligent and a box of marine armor. The models here were used by the 3D artists to create the ships in the movie and weren't actually used in the movie.
This early design for the Wing Commander poster was on the wall at Digital Anvil. The tagline is much much cooler, and it doesn't have that annoying ear problem.
LOAF in Digital Anvil's personal theater - probably the greatest single room in the universe. Eric Peterson was kind enough to show us the Star Wars trailer before demo'ing Starlancer for us on the huge screen. The game looks VERY impressive, and it has a lot of the features lacking in recent Wing Commander games (medals, interactive environments, exploding capships, etc.).
The indestructable NavCom A.I. was in the corner of a meeting room at Digital Anvil. When plugged in, it displayed random numbers.
The ancient Pilgrim map of the universe seen in the first scene of Wing Commander. It was hanging over a couch at Digital Anvil, as we learned just after the movie. We were plotting to sneak in and take a picture long before Chris Roberts invited us to get a tour...
Chris McCubbin and his wife were kind enough to take us to dinner the night after the premiere. Chris wrote the Confederation Handbook, so Reid and I had to rush out and buy new copies for him to sign...
