While the WCP foldout map is indeed a wonderful thing that expands the known Wing Commander universe and organizes the various locations found in chapters of our favorite franchise, there was really one the that bugged me about it. The diminishing perspective slant. While it's stylish, it...

I lost my Wing Commander collection of CDs long ago, so this (apart from the GameTap brief window) is really my only option to play this game without going the less-than-scrupulous route. Plus it recognizes my USB joystick, and plays well enough with a vanilla program launch that I don't need to...

I think the purist inside me is going to demand that I somehow figure out a way to get mp3s of the original DOS sounds of WC1, I do miss the tin-y sound of the lasers, and the "Fp-sssssssssss" sound of launching a missile.

Hello folks, I'm known as Butcher over in the until-recently super secret secluded cave that is the WCRPG. I'm a regular player, and technically the newest player of the RPG. While I'm by no means an official speaker FOR the RPG, I think I can address a few FAQs and such that person might have...

I've been doing some old Wayback Machine dumpster diving as far as the WC Aces stuff. It's nice to see some of this is being preserved.

Speaking from my own military experience, different classes of uniforms is definately viable. As for the uniform changes over the course of the series, I can't offer explainations, but I can offer justifications. For the clash between the old tan shirt uniforms in WC1 and the dress uniform...

I can relent. The Kilrathi issues aside, I honestly do like the movie. I'm just sometimes a nagging prick when it comes to details like that.

That is the big problem you face when doing such things in-house. While the movie Kilrathi design itself wasn't totally horrible, the implementation and execution of their role in the movie left a lot to be desired. The shot setups and editing didn't do the movie Kilrathi any favors either. You...

I was about to say, Wedge's site's pretty damn useful too. Whenever I have a Privateer related question I need answered, I go to his site first over wcnews. Not to knock on the CIC, but info on Wedge's site is a little easier to find.

Well, it may be my own bias, but while I'll agree CGI has made leaps and bounds, I don't think it has gotten to the point where the average CGI production can replace an actual actor if it's meant to stand eyeball to eyeball with an actual real in-the-flesh actor. Loaf's comment about the DA...

Time, growing up, college, professions, and work schedules will always be the bane of any online social group.

Is the Tombs the end all be all source for Kilrathi information? No, while there is cannonical information in there, there is also fan-derived flourish. Is the Tombs a good place to start learning about the Kilrathi? Yes.

Not to necro this thread, but honestly if a new Wing Commander was to use FMV, I'd much rather have the Henson Company take a serious stab at making Kilrathi full-suit puppets than a CGI rendition. There's only so much CGI can do to replace a real object/actor. And if the Henson Company could...

As a fan of Wing Commander, I think having the books on audio would be well worth my money, as I've been hard pressed to find the paperbacks in most of the bookstores around here. I don't realistically believe that Wing Commander fans will be the only ones buying the novels, as I'm sure both...

Heyas, I'm doing a side project that involves some Wing Commander material. I've been nabbing some good cinematic shots from Queeg's WC3-4 movies, which has helped a lot, as well as the DVD Prophecy movies, but there are some gaps in what I can find. I was wondering if the CIC site has a...

Correct, LucasArts has a great publish catalogue and lots of IP that people were/are big fans of. The admitted difference between LucasArts and EA was that LucasArts internally shifted IP priorities, and drove off many of the iconic game development personalities like Tim Schaffer and Ron...

Considering his awareness for everything he does, I think it would be safe to assume McDowell knew he was talking about Wing Commander in his "Goddamn I'm brilliant" bit. Perhaps not the specific clip in question, but I'm sure he knew it was going to be an EA property, and Wing Commander was the...

Not to sound like a PC Gaming fan boy, but until the day developers can boot up a console and do actual programming of a game through a console, then the PC will always be a market for gaming, and a profitable one at that. The consoles are really good at what they do, and that's pretty much...

I could see BethSoft doing something with the WC license. The did publish/co-develop a futuristic combat flight sim back in the WCP days called Echelon, which was actually a pretty damn decent. I still have the game and have fond memories of it. The only issue would really be how bad would we...

To look at it from a concept prespective, I would say the best bet that satisfies all parties interested would be a reimagining of WC1. The problem with doing a continuing sequel from WC:SO or WCP is that you'd have far more layers and concepts to reintroduce to the audience than at an earlier...
