eehhh...I've got one of those too
Games that need sequels
- Thread starter BrynS
- Start date
A game just like that will happen someday, don't you have any doubts about that. Just as soon as the technology comes up. It'll happen faster than you think, just look how far MMRPG's have come in the past few years alone. And if a company doesn't make it then the WC community will create it themselves eventually. I say within the next ten years we'll be playing a Wing Commander themed online game.
And someday, SOMEDAY, it'll be really cool. You'll all don virtual goggles, sit down in a chair with a joystick, and dogfight Kilrathi. And you'll physically look right, and you'll be virtually looking out the starboard window. And so on and so forth. Virtual gaming like that will happen someday also, and after it becomes mainstream it's only a matter of time its Wing Commander themed. I give that 20 - 30 years.
Hm. Here I am getting myself excited over dream games. Oh well, 'tis a good dream.

That reminds me that I want a fan-project where you play the Kilrathi! 
The Kilrathi models are already in WCP too!

I actually think goggles might be an archaic idea here. They seem logical for this situation because that would be how we would achieve this today, but by the time we get there, I think there will be better alternatives. Whatever sort of realistic looking image you can project and make seem real on goggles, you can do better with a large screen in front of you. If some futuristic technology made it cheap/easy to generate a large size 360 degree image around you, that'd be much more immersive than goggles. You could look down and see your own hands/feet/body. Surround sound could be more accurately represented. You could see and feel real props in your hands that interact with this simulated enclosed environment. 3D goggles are how they did it in the 1990s. By the time that sort of entertainment becomes mainstream, it'll be much better.

Yeah, one of the Star Trek technologies that I really that would be possible in my lifetime was the holodeck. Damn that would be cool!

Yeah, I've got one of those too- if a new WC game comes out, well.. $ can't buy me love, but it could buy me the new game!floundericiousMI said:

That'd be f*%&^£g fantastic. Awww maaan, why can't we have fictional technologies like that, aside from the fact that they are fictional.
Thinking on, a holo-bedroom would be quite cool too, sleep wherever you want, and you could even generate some "entertainment."
But like I said, fictional, damn!

The absolute hardest part of the holodeck would be the AI, second hardest would be realistic movement. I cant wait for the sex industry to get involved though, that would help the technology

I would love a Privateer game set during WC IV.

That's one thing I'm sure of that parents of the 2X century would gladly never want to see the light of day...
and I don't think that just by tweaking AI would achieve the perfect result. Let alone, it may not be the actual application used to perfect a projected character (from a CG source) to make it more "real-life". After all, its fake.
Aside from that, would a Wing Commander RTS be any good. Perfect setting should be during Prophecy.

1. Well by the time we have enough technology for holodeck I bet we'll have enough technology for realistic AI.Edx said:The absolute hardest part of the holodeck would be the AI, second hardest would be realistic movement.

2. The sex industry is at work in some form or another almost everywhere. As long as there's enough pervs in the world there'll be a sex industry.

Or just as the war started, where there would be a sudden need for wartime armaments and personell.Dundradal said:

I agree - loved the system shock series almost as much as i loved the Wing Commander series.
However the guys making Bioshock can't make it a SS2 sequal as they dont own the rights to it anymore. If Bioshock is successful you can bet EA will come along shortly afterwards and hash together some crap and call it SS3 to make some quick bucks.
