Everything Goes Up Against the Master (August 14, 1999)

[ChrisReid]

The latest space sim to get churned through the hype engine is Freespace 2. Gamespot has a six page preview of the upcoming game and they compare many elements of it to Wing Commander. You can find the preview here. The WC comparisons begin here.

The comparison to Wing Commander IV has much to do with the slightly similar rogue-commander subplot, but the similarities are more in the serious tone and murky motives of the principle players.
