The thing is, over here in Canada I could go out on the street and ask ten people which computer they would rather have, a 3.2GHz P4D or a 2.66GHz C2D, and maybe two people would answer correctly. Perhaps over in Poland you guys are more computer-savy, but here if you try to explain to people...

I agree that I am the 'average consumer' in most things (and in fact, I am probably dumber than the average consumer in a lot of things, like fashion for instance :) ), but not tech. I'm a computer hobbyist. I build my own computers, build my friend's computers, surf tech sites in my leisure...

Seems like more of a discussion than an argument. While that is indeed true, it has little to do with what I said. All that I pointed out was that the average forum poster here probably knows more about technology than the average consumer.

Yeah, probably most people on these forums would know the difference. Not sure about the average consumer though.

While I like the idea of EA replay, I think it would be great if they expanded future versions to also be released on 360, DS, PC, etc.

What happens when you turn the sound to hardware?

What are your specs?

Hmm... I have to say that I honestly found mission 5 to be harder than mission 2. I completed mission 2 on normal on my second run through (the first being lost to breaking formation) but I had to put the difficulty down to easy on mission 5. I also use mouse control (the secret, IMHO, is to not...

You mean the 6800 Ultra. If someone spent 500 on a 6600 then they paid about twice what they should have ;) I do agree that for some people that seeing 7300 when they have a 6600 would be confusing, but honestly, it would be a lot worse the other way around. If the requirements were instead...

They really need to stop using GHz ratings in the system requirements. Right now, the fastest commercially available processors don't run at over 3 GHz and they recommend a 3.5GHz CPU :confused:

Now that was an awesome movie.

That sounds like fun for people who like to afterburn when they launch :)

Nope, but that would change my attitude somewhat. I find it unlikely that they even know of WCU, as if they did they would probably have also known about Standoff, UE, and FC, and probably would have mentioned them somewhere in the webcast. Keep in mind that they called Wing Commander "The...

Are you sure about that? I would think that finding a no-CD patch for a game you already bought would fall within fair use (I know that the EULA prohibits changing the game code, but you usually aren't the guy modifying the code, that's what the creator of the no-CD is doing -- all that you're...

Of course it's all right so long as you only use the copies personally. You paid for the software, no?

You could easliy put it in the library/tech data section. For example, rename intelligence to storyline and put the stories in there. Another possibility would be to have the storyline read out loud to the user at the end of each mission. A quick hack would be to create a movie file that only...

They thought that the WCU prologue missions were remakes of the early WC1 missions... you can't get any worse than that IMHO.

It's good that the prologue is bringing quite a bit of new attention to Wing Commander, but that web cast was excruciatingly painful to listen to. The guys talking knew pretty much nothing about Wing Commander. It makes me wonder what we're coming to as an industry if even the people in the...

For it's time it wasn't. However, today I find it quite garring. I consider it to the weakest part of prophecy visually. I mean, just look at that horribly ugly banding.
