Wing Commander uses the "dual-speed mode," as you put it. They travel at hundreds of kilometers a second with scoops closed to cross great distances. The scoops are opened when they engage their targets, which slow them down to hundreds of meters a second, making battle possible. That's WC...

Did anyone else notice how stupid that statement is?

The WC3 Kilrathi are very good transitions from the 2D WC2 Kilrathi, whereas the WC4 Kilrathi (Melek) looks like an alley cat.

Sorry, Sinclair. I checked the WC RPG web site every couple of months in 2002 and 03, and there didn't seem to be much updates. I only assumed that the game was dead. Just looked at the site again, and it seems some work has been gone. ChazZio, what WC RPGs have you heard of, then? The only...

To get? I've never heard of any physical RPGs (i.e.: Pen & Paper). The only ones I'm familiar with are online ones, all of which are defunct. Where are you looking?

Try not to forget that downloading games off the internet (even if it's just a backup CD) is illegal unless supplied by the copyright holder.

Yes, the two-sided DVD is the one with the high-quality video and audio.

Just taking a look at the subject line.. Hmm.. You know, there is a reason why the forum has an off-topic zone conveniently titled "Off-Topic Zone."

If my memory serves me correctly, I got the game about a month or two before the movie came out. But it shouldn't be hard to believe that the versions of the game that came with the sticker on the box were shipped in early 1999, just as Fox began to bring up the (however limited) hype for the...

Very awesome find, LeHah. I always enjoy the opening sequence, it was such a highlight of the movie for me with it's great mix of visuals and sounds. It's just unfortunate the DVD has yet to come with bonus features (and no, trailers don't count).

EA actually did take advantage of the original movie's "momentum." My copy of Prophecy has a sticker on the front claiming to be something along the lines of "Inspiration for the new WING COMMANDER movie."

Try looking at the numbers closer. The IMDb info says that it made a gross of 11 mil in the US box office, which is roughly one-third of their stated budget. I said in my first post that they made about a third of their money back in the US box office, but if you take into account worldwide...

Be careful when you say "they" will make something new. Last time I checked, Chris Roberts had the movie rights for the series, while EA held the gaming rights. They aren't dependent on one another, so don't expect a movie then a game, or vise-versa. I don't see a new WC movie that far out of...

I think the "best looking [variable]" threads should take a break for a while.

Are they hosted anywhere online?

Try to stick to the novel. Cut out the unimportant missions (those that don't involve the main plot), decide on which on-ship interactions you want. But, this is your project, it should really be up to you. If your first cut is three hours long, you can figure out to shorten it afterwards.

Yeah, it would be nice to have a Jedi Knight game that took the dark side ending from the predecessor as base for the next one.

Flood, you can just try looking up "DVD extractor" or "VOB ripper" or any combination on a search engine to get a program that extracts the DVD's VOB files to editable video formats. There is a program bundle that I used to have that had all kinds of DVD ripping utilities, and a few of them...

Which gives me the strange impression it's illegal...
