Raylight Studios Still Shining Bright (April 3, 2006)

It's been more than a year since we've checked in with Raylight, but they've been keeping busy. After R-Type and Wing Commander Prophecy Advance, the team moved on to Ozzy & Drix, Spiderman 2 and Smashing Drive for the Game Boy Advance. More recently, the team developed the GBA version of Street Racing Syndicate and the GBA and DS versions of Big Mutha Truckers. And in just the last few weeks, Raylight became an official Sony PSP developer. Their first title will be based on the Hot Wheels franchise. As the most recent studio to develop a Wing Commander game, they continued Origin's legacy by combining unbelievable graphics with solid space combat action and a sci-fi storyline. Although they only had simple handheld hardware to deal with, their accomplishments would have been unimaginable in 1997 when the original Prophecy was released. Despite the lack of buttons, they managed to retain the style of play and even incorporated a multiplayer mode. Wingnuts who are fans of handheld games and haven't yet played Raylight's GBA port are missing out. Amazon.com still maintains stock at $14.99. We'd like to wish the team good luck on their PSP projects, and we're sure they'll turn out some impressive games to take advantage of the advanced hardware. The first two links below lead to small videos of Prophecy Advance in action.

Glitch-Picture 3 is Wrong
1.It has a Manta as your "avatar"
2.Shields are wrong
3.Gunsight it nonexistant(there is no gunsight like that)
 
There's nothing really "wrong" with it. It was a prerelease shot made while the engine was still being developed. There were pictures released of the original Prophecy for Windows while it was still in development which look much weirder. Also, your signature line is longer than the limit.
