I think the PS4 controller has built in support as well. And I tried my Thrustmaster T-Flight HOTAS and it works quite well too - the default keybindings are even pretty good. That said, the developers highly recommend a controller. I'll probably end up playing the first time on a controller...

Last 24 hours to back System Shock: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1598858095/system-shock 24 hour Livestream also starting! http://www.twitch.com/nightdivestudios

They just announced a 24 hour livestream they'll be doing through the end of the KickStarter, so I'm hopeful there's still a chance for some stretch goals! =)

System Shock is approaching the last few days of the KickStarter (it's funded, but there are some really cool stretch goals yet to be reached), so if you haven't already, try out the demo and if you like it, back if you can! =) https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1598858095/system-shock/

There's a pretty great video interview with Stephen Kick that covers a lot of this and his philosophy around Nightdive too: His passion is one of the reason I really think System Shock may turn out something special. I love their business model in preserving these things. I'd love the same...

Pedro, unfortunately I believe that would be EA who owns the rights to Wing Commander still. (That was also the case with System Shock, but EA let it lapse, and Nighdive scooped it up, then worked out a deal with the other rights holder from Looking Glass's closure, which was an insurance...

Thanks, LOAF - interesting info! I really hope they have some plans for more video content/dev info or a livestream. Right now they have some stuff in the backer stretch goals, but I worry that they need to do those things to get the attention in the first place. But alas, hopefully they know...

I've done a few Kickstarters, but this is definitely the biggest - does that 48 hour phenomenon usually happen even if the project is at goal? I was aware there's usually a rush if it hadn't quite met initial goal yet, but I didn't know if it still surged near the end as much even if it was...

And yeah, Wing-0 could be awesome!

I think Kicktraq bases that trend on all the money it raised so far, so that would be accurate if it continued to maintain the average over the time it's already done. (That may be unlikely given the first couple days it raised substantially more than it has since, but it's still doing fairly...

Glad to report it's been funded at the base goal! Now to focus on those stretch goals (some of the latter ones are hidden!). ^.^

Vidmaster, yeah, the feel is captured incredibly well. I always loved the original Serv-Bots you first fought, and I think everyone can relate that back in those days (similar to the original Wing Commander ships), you could get an idea of what something looked like from the pixel-y graphics...

It really does look great. I did a double take when I realized there was already something playable. It's looking very much like we'll make the initial amount, at least. Upped my pledge twice now. =oP I'm a little too excited about this (and now jazzed to play the classic version again...

Heya all! Been a bit. =) I figured in case some people don't know about it, System Shock, another Origin game (and along with Wing Commander and Deus Ex, tied as my favorite game of all time) is being remastered and is currently running a Kickstarter campaign...

Yup... I guess the question is now, will the WC license resurface? Or will they try for private funding as Trasnverse?

Star Citizen and The Doctor on one page? Heaven IS for real! ^.^ Seriously though, that's awesome. (Also, on an unrelated note, I bet Matt Smith in American Psycho is completely bonkers! hehe).

I'm quite sure you've played more versions of Wing Commander than anyone else on the planet, probably including Chris. ^.^

Good to know, Ben (@Bandit LOAF). Things just will keep getting more interesting from here I imagine...

So a few interesting developments today. According to Gamestar (you'll want to translate from German to English), EA claims PGI does not hold the license for Wing Commander: http://www.gamestar.de/spiele/transverse/news/ea_piranha_games_hat_keine_wing_commander_lizenz,51696,3078453.html But...

Ijuin, good point re vending machines. But that does seem really desolate.
