Starlancer Q&A With Erin Roberts (March 14, 2000)

[KrisV]

Gamepower recently interviewed Erin Roberts. When asked about his reponse when people call Starlancer "Wing Commander under a new name", he had this to say:

There are a lot of elements from Wing Commander, but what we tried to do with Starlancer is add a new story and universe and a new way of telling the story. We have a new mission system that is more interesting; we tell the story through the missions now, instead of relying on the cinematics. There's no waiting for just the next flick to tell the story.

We already saw that "new" mission system in Wing Commander Secret Ops. You can find the article here. Thanks to ATFW.
