Coming back to the point I was making about the BIG ships having weak weapons, I mean specifically the "Hydra" ship and the "Leviathan" these hulking great things drifting in space you would think would have amour peircing weapons or something, but all they had were weak gun turrets trying to...

A newbie pilot who was just a "one hit wonder" what with the lack of continuation after that game.....who knows where casey is, lost somewhere in the galaxy....~~~ And to think another classic franchise from EA, ROAD RASH might be making a return in HD! but wing commander remains dormant....

The other thing I found quite astonishing was that there were missions in the game were you would go in and attack a MASSIVE dreadnought/mothership/deathstar call it what you want but it was huge, and you'd think a massive spacecraft of that size would have HUGE weapons, but all it was was small...

Yeah the much awaited "trilogy" that prophecy was meant to begin, a Wing Commander: The Next Generation, type of theme....thats another point as well, blairs death was a bit a bit ridiculous, you'd think the alien creatures would be more fearsome! They should have looked at the Predator movies...

The interaction with the nephelm (or however they names are spelt) ie the enemy was quite "weak"/limited? Aside from hearing and seeing them in-combat, during the FMV scenes there was hardly an footage of them, more about the goings on, on the midway....Also I thought the designs of the ship...

So EA doesn't have the original assets, even so, it could prove lucrative for them if done right...bring in Chris Roberts he could have "Hideo Kojima" type of a role to oversee the project stick to its roots but at the same time bring appeal to a "new" audience, (ie those who weren't born in...

So how many people here are agreement that a reworked version of WC1 should be released on the XBLA, PSN, etc, if not a brand new story in the franchise! EA should AT LEAST acknowledge that there is a "thriving" community of WC fans, and could bring out the 20th aniverssary edition or something...

I reckon if anything EA should look at how Lucasarts are bringing back the Monkey Island games, and re-launching Monkey Island 2, similar style, make a HD remake of the 1st game, (with an option to revert back to the old graphics) see how popular it proves, "test the water" so to speak, if EA...

Maybe especially if EA are not checking this site out, or are aware of it...its a matter of bringing all the fans together in some sort of way to get the request heard!...but I reckon its gonna take the fans for it to happen, I don't think EA has the franchise on their "TO-DO" list do you?

Come on everyone lets launch an online petition see how many people we can get to bolster the chances of Wing Commander re-launched!!! If Star Wars can do it, then why not Wing Commander! I'd certainly put my name forward straight-away for this project to take place! Anyone else?

It all depends have EA got the "bottle" ie are they brave enough to in some respects take that risk and re-launch Wing commander as if it was 1990 all over again? They've seen the success of Mass Effect and would be mad not to follow it's footsteps for the "non-combat" sections... As I have...

Interesting note there Chris with regards to chris roberts being interested in revisting the universe, but it's one thing saying it and another actually setting the wheels in motion so to speak! I personally think its well overdue, and I'm sure there would be viability for a space sim game, and...

I'm suprised Chris Roberts doesn't want to come back to what made his name!If anyone can revive it, he surely can...

All I was saying was that the game talked about in the link I gave could be used as a "model" if another WC game was created that it could look as graphically impressive as dark-star if nothing else....(the 360 version I mean..)

Look to Mass Effect 2 as an inspiration is what I say..
