GameStop has adjusted its product listing for EA Replay, the Origin compilation that includes Wing Commander ports for the Sony PSP. They now project a November 7 ship date, back from an original estimate of October 3. The new date puts the game right in the thick of the holiday shopping season. Other retailers have joined in the fun as well. Amazon is now preselling the game for $27.99 and expecting a December 4 release. Until EA officially announces the title, we're likely to see the dates continue to bounce around a bit. Here are a few other retailers' predictions.
Hunter is working on a Wing Commander mod for X3 Reunion called Kilrathi Rebellion. The project will also use elements from other space sims and some fan creations. From what we could glean from Hunter's announcement, these are some of the new features that X3 players will see:
- Confederation and Kilrathi factions
- New space sectors from the Wing Commander universe
- All ships from Wing Commander 3
- Some craft from other Wing Commander titles
- Tachyon guns, anti-matter cannons, ship killer torpedoes and beam weapons
- New space stations
- Fighter turrets
- A Bomber ship class
- Jump points replace the game's jump gates
Readers wary of the controversial StarForce copy protection can buy the game online from the Steam service.
