Yeah, I agree. Actually, it's just somebody I met a few years ago. He is a big Wing Commander fan and he knows what I have been doing. It's not that simple. If thinks I'm good enough, he might suggest contacting me. Yes, that is perfect, actually.

I see... So EA is developing an epic space game and a Wing Commander tile, which might be an epic space game as well, if she is right of course. Or does that statement allow multiple interpretations?

Agreed. A full "AAA" Wing Commander title would probably take at least two years in development, or a huge team. More interesting... if it's not an "epic space game", what could it be? I mean how many options are there? FPS? I somehow doubt that. RPG? No idea... RTS? Somewhat...

No, not really. In your case, I completely agree with him. Your idea actually is stupid. In my case he just didn't have a clue what I was talking about.

I won't talk about that. But I can tell you that he's not going to violate any NDA. And it doesn't mean I can talk about anything I get to know about WC either, because when I get to know something, I will be NDAed too.

I would buy that package, even though I would end up having some games twice than. ;) But this isn't very realistic: That's too complicated. A product with HOWTOs is the pure support hell for the publisher. Which is why very few games have support for Linux. The mulitude of possible...

Exactly! That's why I carefully used "tech-level" in my last posting. The tech-level only determines the maximum possible graphic quality of a game, not the actual quality. That's why I think that UT3 looks better than Crysis, even though it's using less features. They simply used the features...

I love Wing Commander. And I'm really nostalgic about the graphics. But even I have to admit that we look bad compared to modern titles. And I think it's unfair to compare an XBLA tile, with all it's restrictions, to a modern game engine. The only space game that looks clearly better than...

@Wedge is correct. The DX level equals the Shader Model. Well, this isn't bad so far. 9 of 10 people can use the pixel shaded version of FS2_open. I seriously expected less. So WCS has to move on and I have to complete some normal maps for it... :p Well, at least it will be the best looking...

I'd like to know how many of you have a Shader 3.0/Shader 4.0 card. Maybe you've noticed that the FS2_open engine has recently moved on to Shader Model 3.0. (Some impressions: ) click click click click I'm interested in this, because new content is required for this. Such as normal maps...

NDA atm. I'll gladly reveal it when I'm allowed to. Thanks. :) Very good point. Offered the chance to work on a WC title, the devs just had to take it.

True, WC1 and 2 didn't have FMVs. It was a different kind of experience. They were an elemental part in the last WC parts. And thsose game wouldn't have worked without them. It's a very unique way of storytelling. Ok, it has certain limitations and it's expensive, but it also gives you a lot...

I didn't say I want a prequel, but that I would be fine with it. Just as much as with a sequel. It doesn't have to be the Kilrathi war again for me. Why do you think nothing pleases me? I've stated what I'd llike to have in a WC title... It's quite a lot, but not more than in the...

Well... I know they're the 'deflector', but actually they are really out of place there. I consider them to be a flaw in the ISD design. It's an old movie. I don't know for sure, but I bet there is nothing like that on the ships in Episode III, or they at least covered it up better. No.

Woah... easy. Let me state this: -I'm perfectly fine with a prequel. -Mark Hamil is too old for a role in a prequel and probably dead... for a sequel -Yes FMVs are just as important as in C&C, maybe even slightly more -I want a new Wing Commander, not something else with just the name Maybe...

There is no clear line, but if you want an example, just take a look at the weird 'towers' on the ship. The general look of the ship is pretty massive. Those parts don't fit into the concept. They look fragile and don't follow the form of the ship. They're really standing out. Now I'm...

Considering everything, WC5 was a great game, better than a lot of games to that time. However.... it was the weakest WC part in the series. I don't know how much this has to do with Chris Roberts. Knowing that he's one of the greatest game designers ever... it's not unlikely. WC5 was way...

If you ask me, only he could create a 'real' Wing Commander 6, or Prequel. It depends a lot on the budget too. One of the C&C 3 devs said, that they had to add FMVs to to create a real C&C title. And they got at least a few known actors. If Wing Commander comes back, it has to come back...

Hmm... When you design spaceships, one of the first things you'll have to learn, is to never add useless detail to the mesh. I know how tempting it is to create a rather simple base structure and just add things the hull, but it's not the 'proper' way of doing things. Attaching objects also...
