Excellent. Thanks, Loaf for the info. I was wondering where those rumors came from. I've been doing some hunting in the Amiga Magazine Rack recently just reading up on the articles about the conversion. Interesting stuff. :)
You wouldn't happen to know about any articles that go into depth...
Well, see that's the thing. That paragraph sums up my understanding of how the graphics were created but it's not very... well, I mean Kasey Chang is who? I'm sure he just wrote that out of the vague descriptions that we've all been seeing about since WC came out.
It doesn't really explain...
Y'know whenever people talk about the graphics for the original Wing Commander they talk about Ray-tracing. I've even seen some people go as far as to say that they actually built real models in order to do the ray tracing on... is that true? Is there even any evidence of that?
I'm guess I'm...
Is there a place to find all the sales that each Wing Command game had? I'm not even sure the NPD was tracking PC gaming that early and certainly not releasing info from that early to the public.
THanks for any help guys!
Hi! I'm currently working on a little project The Gaming Standard: Wing Commander and I'm actually having a problem with part 5. Do you guys think I should add a play through type thing? I know a lot of you here enjoyed the first four parts so your input is definitely appreciated.
I kind of...
Yeah, that's in there. The sentence went something like this unfortunately.
Marten Davies... yadda, yadda, yadda, even played Tolwyn before Andie McDowell yadda yadda yadda.
Ha! Yeah, I've no idea how I mispoke there. Yeah, Malcolm McDowell definitely had done the voice for Tolwyn. Oh well. I guess I'll change that up on the originals but it may not be fixed for the youtube version. Hehe. Y'know and I had just watched A Clockwork Orange again within the past week. :)
Thank you again for all the advice, suggestions, and encouragement. This part covers Chris Roberts and Origin briefly. I wanted this to just be a 30 sec blurb at the beginning of the look into WC proper but it kind of ballooned to a short segment so I'll extend the series a bit. Thank you again...
Wow you went right for the throat there! :) Yeah, Lightspeed, lightspeed, Lightspeed. I really debated where I should add that game. I remember that it was out at around the time but in my mind it was something that came out after Wing Commander so I was going to include it as part of the...
Yeah, I'll certainly post the material I have left. I just have to edit it a bit. The last half just covers Wing Commander.
And yeah, I did the commentary myself. My voice is a bit wonky but I couldn't bring myself to ask anyone to do the commentary. I just have a fun time doing these...
Hi! I've just started to make a little video project for fun and am looking for some input on where I should go with it. The first section of the video (split into three parts) covers the influences and environment that led to Wing Commander being such a huge hit. I've got most of the audio...
