WC Names In Shaiya Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Wedge has spotted a few familiar names (if not faces) in the Korean MMO Shaiya. The game features a few direct Wing Commander influences, not the least of which is a soundtrack composed by veteran WC orchestrator George Oldziey. If you haven't heard the game's music before, be sure to grab the official soundtrack (free download). Many of the tracks are creative spins on music from Wing Commander 3, 4 or Prophecy.
Yeah, I know they're not exactly unique names, but it was still mildly amusing to see these familiar names in Shaiya, in addition to already having George Oldziey compose the soundtrack.

Making the Game: Mission I3B Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

I3B is an excellent example of a nuanced alternate mission - if you fail to destroy all of the enemy ships in 3, you're assigned to take out the rest in 3B (which are now threatening the Midway directly). While it's unlikely a future design could ever have as much variation as the original Wing Commander (with many more 'losing' missions than winning ones), missions like I3B are a great way to include that concept in a more modern/expensive game.

These updates are thanks to John "Captain Johnny" Guentzel, who provided several CD image archives of material used by the Wing Commander Prophecy development team!
