    Transverse Saga Continues To Unfold; Game Evolved From WC Online Pitch (September 11, 2014)

    @ChrisReid, I totally agree with you - making a good single-player campaign (with or without co-op) takes a LOT of talent. The fact that Piranha never even tried with MWO says a lot. (The original MW2 had a full single player campaign, with AI mechs, convoys to escort, dropships to attack, and...

    Transverse Saga Continues To Unfold; Game Evolved From WC Online Pitch (September 11, 2014)

    Thrakkath, I couldn't agree more. I don't know what's with companies ditching single player these days. One of the reasons I'm so psyched for Star Citizen is a real single player campaign, finally! If Transverse went a single player (even ONLY a single player) route, it'd definitely be more...

    Epic Online Sci-Fi Game Being Announced Tomorrow (September 8, 2014)

    From all accounts, they may have just given up even MODERATING the Transverse sites. Since last night there's been at least one and probably a few posts that clearly should be removed by any mod team, and it's still there today. I think it's just abandoned...I can't imagine a mod possibly...

    Epic Online Sci-Fi Game Being Announced Tomorrow (September 8, 2014)

    @ChrisReid, between the peeps there being called Transverstites and Trannies (and by the way, I mean no offense to anyone in our community who is transgendered; the humor is the obliviousness of PGI that the name might generate these types of titles, not a dig at transgendered people), it is...

    Epic Online Sci-Fi Game Being Announced Tomorrow (September 8, 2014)

    Yeah, this is just sad. I'm very thankful that it's not a Wing Commander game anymore, though, but it is very disheartened if they do indeed hold the license. Honestly, after my MWO experience, don't hate me but I think I'd rather the franchise end forever than PGI try to make something out of...

    Epic Online Sci-Fi Game Being Announced Tomorrow (September 8, 2014)

    PLUS, that would mean Chris Roberts, legendary for the Wing Commander games, went to EA to pitch a new Wing Commander, they turned him down, and then let PGI have the license? It's just bizarre...

    Epic Online Sci-Fi Game Being Announced Tomorrow (September 8, 2014)

    I just stumbled upon this too and you beat me to it, AD. My stomach literally sank when I read "We do indeed currently hold the license of Wing Commander." I hope, so much, this isn't true...

    Epic Online Sci-Fi Game Being Announced Tomorrow (September 8, 2014)

    @Whiplash, sure have...and yeah... I saw one comment (can't remember where offhand) that it might be placeholder art and the designs may be refined/modified, but...even if that were the case, that's bad taste at best IMO. I really don't know what to say at this point. =oP (Oh, and I did...

    Now this is interesting...: http://www.incgamers.com/2014/09/transverse-could-have-been-wing-commander-online-gamer-backlash-begins Also, according to this image posted by Armsman on RSI: http://i.imgur.com/a1c9c1n.jpg Take a look at the missiles...definitely WC naming (albeit misspelled?).

    Epic Online Sci-Fi Game Being Announced Tomorrow (September 8, 2014)

    @centaurianmudpig, like you, the cash purchases initially threw me off, but at the time my excitement got the best of me. Most of what they advertised to Founders simply never materialized (and now it's clear they're not very focused on MWO at all at this point). From the looks of things...

    Piranha Games Announces Transverse (September 9, 2014)

    So from the video trailer afterwards, it sounds like they're trying to have ZERO NPC's... Good luck with that...

    Epic Online Sci-Fi Game Being Announced Tomorrow (September 8, 2014)

    As an original Legendary Founder of MechWarrior Online, I highly recommend people think VERY CAREFULLY before giving Pirahna ANY money. I've been in MWO since Closed Beta nearly three years ago, and I can honestly say the whole experience has been pretty terrible from the beginning. The engine...

    Wing Commander no longer on PCG's "Top 100 PC Games" List

    I cobbled together a vintage rig (a small DOS slowdown utility cheat since it was still a bit too fast) to play some of the old games (including the Wing Commanders), and I can't tell you how much it made me smile to do this again after all this time (and still that thrill when you finally get...

    Wing Commander no longer on PCG's "Top 100 PC Games" List

    As a watcher of some of PC Gamer's YouTube content, I've noticed they spend actually a good bit of time playing either indie games, or virtual versions of card games, not just what you think of as your standard PC game. They just started a (monthly I think) webshow, and it's pretty...

    Wing Commander no longer on PCG's "Top 100 PC Games" List

    It's really strange - I've noticed PC Gamer covers Star Citizen a little (interviews and such), but not nearly as much as one would imagine, and I'm not sure why (pressure from publishers, since that's their bread and butter perhaps? Or perhaps they think it may fail.). At any rate, I...

    Interesting Kickstarter with WC possibilities

    The idea is cool, but I just can't get excited about a cardboard setup. It's one of those things where I plan to play Star Citizen and such from my desk with a PlaySeat setup (and I have an oldschool rig at a table for the WC games)... I don't really have room for a full-on cockpit, and if I...

    wow I did it I did it I DID IT

    FINALLY did it. And Imma gonna do it one more time before moving on. =) The strategy that finally worked for me is, after surviving the fighters with relatively okay health, flying around and if possible lining one of the cap ships behind the other. (It can work without doing that but is a...

    hobbes and his character arch

    This arc is one of the most visceral experiences I've had in gaming. Wing Commander III was my very first Wing Commander, and Hobbes was always my choice as Wingman. It literally broke my heart when he defected. So I don't think I'd change it, even though part of me of course will always hate...

    wow I did it I did it I DID IT

    Ahhh cool info re the anti-matter guns. I actually did get to witness that cap ship battle and it was a lot of fun to watch. ^.^ Yeah...if I can learn how to avoid those shots I'll be golden.
