I both drooled and cried at the same time! Heh seriously though that looks AMAZING. I wish EA would revisit Privateer and make that a reality. Even now the screens look pretty decent.

it'd be nice if EA would get WC3/4 onto PSN Europe/Australia. The PS1 ports were released on cd in those countries on the original PSX and there is a pretty bad shortage of titles in Australia at least of decent non shooter/racer/rpg games. Having to create 6 PSN accounts to import games from...

No Wing Commander game ends with Earth being invaded, if you've gotten to a point where Earth is being attacked then you have lost the game you were playing.

tried repairing the itts in the repair section?

realistically you need more than the cost of the ship to fit it out, I like to have the ship cost + $100,000 so a centurion is really about $300,000

Can we get some real info up about the flightsuits? I mean seriously how hard is it to get a pattern made up and on the net for this stuff? as well as a listing of all the materials used? I know a few people in Australia that would like to get/make flightsuits/helmets for conventions based on...

This sale has come at the worst possible time for me.... and I'm going to be regretting this forever :(

funnily, I own freespace 1 and 2, in the license for freespace2. If you don't patch the game. The original game disc gives you a license to give free copies of the game to friends to play. :) They revised that clause of the copyright notice in later patches.

wc3 was great, but I always found myself moved more by the story of WC2. It just felt a lot more epic.

Is there any chance you could render this out at 2560x1600? It looks fantastic and would make a great addition to my 30" monitor. There's very little WC artwork at that resolution.

I think you're misunderstanding what I was saying. It is common practice to render out artwork at a resolution higher than that which will actually be used. I'm not saying wing commander 3 was done at 4096x4096, I'm saying that it was probably done at say 512x512, or 640x640 or 768x768, which is...

most cg movies are rendered out in 4096x4096 then scaled/cut down to what ends up on your home bluray/dvd discs. I've got friends in the industry and it's a pretty common practice to render at a higher res than the final product. Then render it down to a lower resolution for shipping. The thing...

what's wrong with that picture is it's the TCS Concordia not the TCS Tiger's Claw... Interestingly it's a much sharper image than the final cutscene used in the games... makes me wonder if EA has higher quality versions of the footage kicking around somewhere.

Still remains my favorite game of ALL time. I love how the world draws you in and the artwork makes you think that just around the next corner you'll see something new/exciting in the Wing Commander Universe. Just playing the game gives you a sense of the scope the developers wanted to add to...

If you want black space in Wing Commander 3, try playing the 3do version. It has black space. I think it might be where the screenshots with black space are from since most of them show the carrier with a non fly-through hangar (another thing the 3do version does differently).

It's great to see Thrustmaster taking onboard community suggestions to fix their products :) The addition of Hall effect sensors instead of POTS make it one sweet joystick. I own a HOTAS cougar and the POTS on those things die pretty quickly, but there are lots of community modifications (gimbal...

Hardcore flight sims are a dead genre, there's no mass market appeal for them anymore. TBH I don't think there was much of a market for them originally either. People were just happy to get their hands on anything with vehicles. Ever since vehicles got into FPS games the market for simulators...

A couple of interviews with the Kilrathi Saga developers mentioned that they had the code to wing commander 1 when they were working on it, but it was so crufty and outdated that they just took wing 2's engine and modified it. I find it very disappointing to think that EA hasn't got a robust...

yeah, I really can't comment on the gameplay aspect. I don't own a playstation. I bought the game and am running it in PCSX. Works very well, not seeing any graphical glitches, but the controller is not a playstation controller. :) The space engine is quite fast/smooth when emulated on a pc.

I think Kilrathi Saga WC3 is one of the most disappointing games in the series. After having played the 3DO version, playing a bit of the PSX version (still playing it now) and finishing the PC DOS/Kilrathi Saga versions. Here we have a game which brought WC3 to windows 9x. But rather than...
