With the immenent release of C&C3 I truly now have newfound hope that we will one day see a new Wing Commander game, sooner rather than later. My rationale is that if EA are willing to spend millions shooting that glorious p ) FMV then surely they would consider doing the same for a new WC title. It would be assumed that they would make profits on both titles, as they have in the past.
I know it's simplistic considering Wing Commander synonomous with FMV, but it would be.....strange, if FMV were ommited from future WC games. I know that poor sales of the space-shooter genre are a major factor in there not being any new WC games out recently, and there are other ways to tell a story, but I think that if there were to be a new WC game then I think more than likely there will be live actors featured in it.
I haven't seen all that much of the C&C3 FMV yet, just bits and pieces over the net, but it looks leaps and bounds quality-wise over the previous games in the series. Not just the quality of actors (Billy-Dee Williams!!) or sets, but the story and direction feel a hell of alot more professional and realistic, a coming of age (I simply cannot wait to play this game). I'm not sure if you would call this "re-booting" or just simply an update, I guess thats the beauty of electronic entertainment - constant growth.
Anyway, if a new Wing Commander were to be made, what changes do Wingnuts see being made to the overall feel of the series? What would you approve of? What would you like, or not like to see?
I personally would like to see the series "re-booted" ala how nBSG was to the original series. The WC universe has alot of potential to reach a much larger audience, if things were done to tap into that sector. High-quality graphics, gameplay and FMV have always been trademarks of WC but they could obviously be improved...anyway, I'm gonna shut-up now....So, what would you like to see in a new Wing Commander game?
