![]() Thread title change please? We now know it's title and for those of us who don't know Chris Roberts off the top of their head, it'd be very helpful to know what this game is called and what it is, instead of "Is a figurehead doing something?" |

![]() The original Wing Commander game was ground breaking in terms of graphics and game play that you could do the 386 16MHz computer you had back then. Wing Commander was one of the first 3D games that used scaled images to represent objects in 3D space. Scaling and rotating a bitmap was tedious work for the poor CPUs back then. What I see now is little bit like Bob Geldof's Live 8, which is based on a previous idea that worked great but in modern time it just doesn't belong and this is what I feel with Chris Roberts new production. The graphics isn't that great compared other recent games. The game play is also not ground breaking, it's a combat space sim and that's nothing new. If this is going to be game that people wants, Chris Roberts must achieve an absolute polished product. You can always tell the same story twice but you have to it very well in that case. The game players are really spoiled today and would say take Mass Effect and add space combat to it, then people would turn their heads. People are used to so much more freedom of movement today and just sitting in a space ship would seem limited. BTW System Shock had a wing commander game in the game.

Further more, this is PC only so by default it's not targetting the masses. It seems to me like he's got some money to spend, as well as depending on the die-hard fans of this genre, to fund it and make this possible. There's quite a few wing commander fans out there with deep pockets now days to help support this title if it lives up to their expectations. I do agree about being limited to the cockpit. Some may be satisfied just flying around- me I'd love to be able to explore the ship I'm on, or the space station, or even the city I'm docked at. Been begging for this level of detail in a space sim for so very long. Add to the fact it's using CryEngine 3 and I'm certain this will please. The strong SP story-telling and later open world approach is just epic. So far, this seems to be exactly what I've been begging for in a game. See a nebula far off in the distance you want to explore? Great- go explore it. Discovery and exploration are both encouraged and rewarded. EM had a hint of this but ultimately failed to deliver. How cool would it be to fly into a massive nebula only to discover a planet or asteroid cluster rich in resources for you to mine, and make an amazing fortune off of! Word would likely spread of your discovery so you'd have to defend it... the possiblities. ![]() Yeah, I'm stoked for this. EM was fun, X3 is fun but neither are what I've been looking for in a space sim. This title so far, looks to deliver on all fronts. ![]()

![]() I've got tons of games where I can walk around, do quests, following a story, alter my character, mine resources, craft equipment, get married and shoot stuff. What I don't have is a lot of space combat simulators. I think this is what made the original Wing Commander and X-Wing/Tie Fighter games so much fun. -Nighthawk

Game is looking and design sounding darn good. Updated Wing Commander should be sweet. Hit $3.5 million btw.

![]() The amount of features this game has planned is crazy and if it's pulled off it will be amazing but I actually think they may have said too much, the things they are aiming for such as boarding of ships and fighting within ships on top of the main game not that I think they can't pull it off but it feels like they are setting us up for disappointment when it turns out they got ahead of themselves. Aside from that I really hope they keep the player skill component and not dumb things down too much so that anyone can do anything within a few minutes of trying a task.

![]() This isn't like battlecruiser where Derek Smart is overhyping his ****. Chris has actually delivered great space games in the past. If he says he can make this work, I believe him. Besides, the main reason features get cut is because the publisher is being a jackass. He won't have that problem with this. |

![]() It looks like a good sophisticated space combat sim, but i think the open world bit sounds too ambitious and will turn out poor and the single player is nothing ground breaking. At least it attempts to be uncompromising in its vision. |

![]() You guys know that RSI website and kickstarter are 2 separate ways to fund it? And the total is almost 5 million... So this game is getting a lot of attention, and I can't wait for it to come out. |

![]() True, and they also are going to have additional private investors. Their total budget is about $12 - 14 million. (Maybe even more now, since it was originally planned for $2 million in crowd funding) |

10% seems really high, is that actually true? Also, "I they get to that amount, oh jizz", sounds like oh jizz has already happened ![]()
