I saw a review for the new Jedi Knight game and saw that one of the screenshots showed a CGI of Mark Hamil as Luke Skywalker. It was a remarkably good likeness. Incredibly good even. Anyway, it got me wondering if Hamill gets royalties from the use of his image or does Lucas own it as part of...

When someone made a comment to the effect "If another WC film was made…" my first reaction was "And how bout that snowball in Kabul?" Now that I think about it though, there have been other (first) movies that haven't done well yet sequels were made from them haven't there? If I remember...

While most of the reviews seem to be favorable, I was wondering what WC fans had to say about the I-War2. Since I didn't care for the first one, I don't really have any desire to shell out cash for the second one UNLESS the story/immersion factor is up-to-snuff. The reviews say the I2 is set...

I've been following the recent releases of Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy with interest. Specifically, how well the producers/writers would pull it off and comparing the success of the translation of game to movie of TR & FF with that of WCM. While the story line on all three seems to have been...

About every other mission, Prophecy will freeze during a mission with the sound repeating over and over. It will take several tries at the mission to get through it without a crash. I am currently on the mission where Dallas dies. This is a hard freeze - the 3 fingered salute does not work which...

Does WCP work w/ FF? I ask because the MS website had a preconfigured WCP profile at one time and I have it on my system. However, I don't get any feedback.

I entered the last nav point of the mission where you meet Hobbes/Thrakhath (Kilrah bombing) uncloaked and proceeded to kill Hobbes. After killing a bunch of Sorkaths and others I realized that they keep coming (to infinity) and that there will always be a minimum of 4 on radar - but I couldn't...

I ran across a WC3 guide that seemed to suggest that your wingmen would improve with experience. So if you were to pick them for your wing, they would get better and better. For example, when I rarely ever used Flash because he would hardly last through even the easiest dogfights. If I were to...

What are the Roberts brothers up to these days? Are there any new developments in the works?

I was reading a magazine article on Napster where one of the author's arguments for supporting the service is that he cannot get certain old music because the company does not distribute them any more. He writes "(The songs) aren't on the market any longer, so who's income am I denying by...

I was wondering if there was a concensus (doubtful) on the multiple path game that the WC series uses. Personally, I like them a bit more linear than the one used in WC1/3. I go crazy trying to make sure I played each and every mission path and I hate to intentionally lose a mission just to go...

I loaded WC2 in the Kilrathi Saga over the weekend and found that the speech is badly sync'd with the graphics. For one thing, the character's lips move at mach 2 which is really distracting. I wasn't able to find anything in the documentation on it - would disabling the voices fix this? Is it...

Forgive my failing memory but does anyone know if there was a speech pack addon for Wing Commander 2?

It's been a while since I last installed KS and I was thinking about loading it back up. However, I seem to recall that Origin received some flak about the KS installation routine automatically installing the latest version (whatever that was) of DirectX. Has anyone tried this recently and if it...

Where can I find the mission trees for the WC games? I'm considering replaying some of the missions that I didn't get a chance to play during my previous excursions. Tks.

Does anyone know if Origin has anything in the works or if they are even still in business? I think that it is a shame that a company that produced the WC series (which I think are the best space sims in the genre) has largely dropped out of sight. To this day I compare every space sim game I...
