See Standoff In Motion

Everyone knows that Standoff features some pretty snazzy graphics, but if you haven't played the game and are just going by screenshots, you're in for a treat! The latest upgrades to the Vision Engine do incredible things with textures, backgrounds, models and lighting. Tretboot has helped share this experience with some cool in-game footage. Not only are the technical aspects much improved, but the game is built around the classic WC1/2 era style. Seeing a Hornet tangle with a Jalthi with modern 3d-accelerated effects is really cool.

Making the Game: HUD Shrike

Today's HUD is the Shrike. Check out the awesome bomber-specific instruments that didn't make it through to the final game -- that turret status indicator would have been a great way to convince the player he was flying a massive bomber instead of a fighter-window.

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!
