Wing Commander features in yet another list created by nostalgic gamers: "10 PC Games That Need A Comeback"
Come on EA, take the hint....
Come on EA, take the hint....
Oh good, a video game blog to preach the truth to the faithful horde.
Between reading that tripe and having my fingers broken with a ball-peen hammer, I'll take my chances with the hammer. It may miss and won't affect my brain like reading something stupid would.
True these lists are a dime a dozen, but it's still nice seeing Wing Commander being mentioned by the masses. The games listed beside it, well most anyway are top-notch and despite the inane descriptions were fun to contemplate modern-day sequels for. I would of mentioned the Tex Murphy and The Longest Journey series myself (simply awesome story-heavy adventure games).
Any predictions for how many other unashamedly similar lists that Wing Commander is going to appear in this year?
I reckon two more times at least.... The Top 10 games that are part of the Top 10 franchises that have been mentioned in previous Top 10 lists from the last year.....or some shit.
It's better than being completely forgotten. Sure anybody can make a generic blog and wax nostalgic about Wing Commander but isn't it a good sign that people bother to do so?
People still bother to bring up the original ET game on Atari. That doesn't make it a good thing.
I gave up hope for anything new in the WC universe some time ago .That excludes fan created material .EA owns the rights to WC and that company could ruin a sledge hammer with a steel handle .The only EA games I've owned that were not something a horse left on a trail were WC games and they cancelled them .
You don't think it'll appear in an Honored Dead list in another 5 or 10 years?
How old is the actor who played Casey now anyway?
Uh, what are you talking about? WC3 was hugely profitable, and even WC4 was profitable in the long run - it just wasn't an immediate success.As LOAF has said many times Privateer wasn't a success it's considered to be a cult classic. Sure I may still play it every year but that doesn't change that fact. The main series was solid but not a best seller since wing commander 3/4 and 4 didn't recoup production costs. The odds of a full FMV revival are low at this point. How old is the actor who played Casey now anyway?

There's Arena and S*S- what's wrong with them?
I'd like to think that FMV will be part of the next WC game. It's synonymous with the series, just as it is with C&C. It's a matter of if EA is willing to splash the cash or not. I think they will, one day...
