I heard the news yesterday about a new Wing Commander game... and it made my day. I was thinking I'll buy this game the day it comes out and buy Xbox Live Gold.
**************
Then I looked at a trailer on IGN and I got really mad. This game looks like Zaxxon, or 1942, or Gradius. It is not even a 3d game. These 3 games are classics and a lot of fun... but this ain't a Wing Commander Game.
If Wing Commander 1 had been re-released in EGA, as-is, on Xbox Live, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.
**************
Wing Commander used to be the best selling pc-series of All-time. People used to buy new computers, and new sound cards and video cards and bigger hard drives just to play it. I would still buy a new computer just to play a new wing commander.
It is really unacceptable to re-make Zaxxon(1982)... and give this game 8-bit Nintendo graphics and call it a Wing-Commander. This makes me want to vomit!
