    Hello WC CIC, it'a 2018!!!

    OMG it's 2018! It's been awhile and I am so glad this community is till going strong. I probably lurk more on the FB page than here but do think about you guys from time to time. Had a few "other games that might remind me of WC" experiences I thought I'd share. Last year I played Quantum...

    Hypothetical: They decide to redo Wing Commander 3

    Just an additional thought (over a year later). I've been playing L.A. Noire (got it on sale via Steam for $4.99!!!). What's different (at least for me) is they hired real actors (B and C level actors you would recognize) and not only recorded their voices but rendered their faces using the in...

    What produces the best graphics: WC4 from CD (with upgrade patch) or WC4 from doublesided DVD?

    I noticed there was a WC4 upgrade patch available for download. From the description it seems to be saying that you can upgrade the CD version of the game to have the FMV look as good as the 2 sided DVD version of the game. I recently came across the 2-sided DVD (thanks to a friend cleaning out...

    Wing Comander 3 Kilrathi Saga vs DOSBox - is there a difference in the quality of graphics?

    Consider the vraious patches/hacks available for KS and some of the upconverting technology built into DOSBox I wonder if there is a difference in the quality of graphics between the two versions. for either the FMV or the flight engine.

    Hypothetical: They decide to redo Wing Commander 3

    Wow great discussion everyone. After reading the posts and thinking about it I would side towards the idea of using the original FMV as much as possible. Upgrade the green screen graphics, controls, redo the the flight graphics engne (just to update quality), and create a better overall game...

    Is WC3 via gog.com really ready for prime time?

    I know a lot of us are old school gamers. We were the ones back in the day that had to have PC skills to get games working properly. Since then we've learned all about DOS Box so we could get our classic games working again. Don't get me wrong when I ask this ... but is WC3 via gog.com ready...

    Hypothetical: They decide to redo Wing Commander 3

    Let's say they decided to remake WC3. You are the decision maker. Obviously everything will be upgraded and completely redone. However they have the original unedited footage of the live action sequences. Do they reuse this original footage (assume it is relatively high resolution) or do...

    Hello again

    Well about once every 2 or 3 years I get the itch, the wing commander itch. The poll on the front page took me back. I think I've lurked here for close to 10 years ... is that even possible? How facinating that WC still gets me excited all these years later. I often think of WC3 and 4 as...

    Sort of like WC? Command & Conquer Red Alert 3

    That's good to hear. I had thought after Prophecy we would not see a film/action combo video game. I like that it appears to be coming back. The RA3 files look to have quality production value. The mix of CG back drops with living action totally reminds me of Wing commander.
