Wing Commander Saga Preview Trailer Released

[Tolwyn]

Wing Commander Saga: Battlegroup Serpent has released a four minute trailer for their upcoming Freespace 2 mod. It's a pretty exciting look into the basics of the story with some very nice in-game shots. If you haven't been following this one, the trailer might surprise you. You can download their 33 meg trailer here (BL.org mirror here). You need divx to see it.

Great job, Tolwyn. Seeing this fine piece makes my miserable life a bit more happier.

Especially the Behemoth jumping in and flying past you is extremely cool.

 

[avisolo]

Great Work! Loved the ingame captures.
Thanks for all the work put into the mod and looking forward to it eagerly
Yours,
Avi

I still think you should spend some time diversifying your movie skills a bit, then expanding that and turning it into a long Wing Commander story.

 

[Tolwyn]

I will do that. But first I am going to create a 4 min intro for the Awakening of the Claw campaign (WCS: BG). That should help me improving my skills and then.... I would like to create a Wing Commander battle movie

Especially the Behemoth jumping in and flying past you is extremely cool.

My idea ^__^ hey Tolwyn didn't I said so that it is a cool idea.

 

[Tolwyn]

lars... I am sure it is lars

 

[Dammerung]

The Banshee... Must... Must Pilot!

Wow, forget about the CGI, those in-game graphics are AWESOME! For a game that old, the Freespace 2 engine still looks good. The movement of the AI and the ships exploding all seem so fluid it looks so damn pro. I love it!

The models could use a better texture job though...

 

[Tolwyn]

that is exacvtly what is being done right now. Also, many improvements to the engine are to come. (like glow maps or specular mapping)

 

[Lynx]

The specular lighting is just awesome. It reminds me of the lighting in I-War.

 

[Tolwyn]

yes, but there is one thing you should keep in mind: if there is no shine map, fsopen uses the default hull texture. In this case the effect doesn't look always good.

 

[Ian Vagabond]

can't get the preview to work

I have divx, but it freezes up the image when it gets to showing that gray planet, any tips on how to fix this so I can watch it?

 

[Lynx]

Look if there's a new version of DivX. That'll probably help.

 

[Quarto]

Indeed. I had the same problem, and it was fixed by downloading the newest version.

 

[Cam]

Your voice actors are pretty good.

 

[psych]

I think some are new, but there's some voices in that trailer that have been ripped directly off Freespace 2.

 

[Pulmonox]

Yeah, I noticed that too. Still, I'm eagerly a-waitin' for this one to come out.

 

[Tolwyn (guest)]

correct, some of the voices used in the trailer are ripped from FS2. But don't worry, our voice actors are quite good
