Speak of Your Speech, Not of Your Subtitles (October 19, 2000)

[Bandit LOAF]

Hobbes has found an interesting article at Creative Lab's site, titled "How Did Creative Sell 100,000,000 Sound Blaster(sic)?" Wing Commander 2 gets a promenant mention...

The computer game, Wing Commander 2 by Origin Systems, took the world by storm with its revolutionary game play and amazing technological advances in graphics and sound. The game was able to make full use of Sound Blaster technology to, provide, for the first time in gaming, digital speech in-game. Characters talk and gamers hear, instead of reading subtitles. The world, as they say, was never the same again.
