In that case, I want the ship blueprints as an addon. I dont really want another ship in game to start with, but I would be happy to splash out some more to add those blueprints to my Wingnut package.

My RSI account is now linked with my pledge:). Looks like they sent me back in time tho, to the late 90s. The date of my pledge is 8/10/98 on RSI!

yea I think using kickstarter aswell is very good idea!

So, what happens if CR doesn't get the 2 mil?

pleased to report I just made my pledge...I went for the Wingnut option. I made the pledge on the European site in Euros via paypal. (£96) Always did prefer pure action over trading/exploring. That is the best I can do for now, but may add to this in the coming weeks. I really want to know what...

appreciate the info. hey, is there any chance you could send me that no cd patch? My ESET Nod 32 antivirus wont let me anywhere near those sites. cheers

looks incredible :)

Agreed man. It's all about the gameplay and story. More so gameplay imo. I cant recall a game that had great space dogfights since star lancer and freelancer. In fact I played some starlancer (on Dreamcast!!) last week, still a great game. Tho I cant get the pc version to work on vista. I have...

Unless EA or Microsoft are hiding in the background in all this, I think it wont be WC or Star/Freelancer related. New IP seems highly likely.

Looks very much like Privateer 3 to me. Or freelancer 2. Or something similar but new universe. :) Whatever it is, I dont think we can go wrong with Mr C Roberts at the helm. Very exciting stuff here, I'l be waiting for October info!

LOAF, if a new WC game was announced in the near future, what genre do you think it would be? what scale? AAA big budget classic space sim or perhaps a free to play online game?

I'm going to ask the old question - is there any chance we will see a new, proper WC game being published by EA? I think its interesting to see reactions to this question as time moves on. Because of the recent WC buzz about GOG, academy dvds and possible chris roberts project I would say its at...

I switched NOD 32 file protection off for a few minutes to allow the game to install. works fine now. cheers!

I encountered New Heur PE Virus at 80% mark of the install. NOD 32 wont let me finish the install!

What a cool project. My brother and I always wanted an Amiga when we were kids, but we had to make do with the old (but much loved) Commodore 64. To this day, I never did get an Amiga. I thought about getting one on ebay many times but it just didn't seem worthwhile. On ebay uk there are at...

Yes the situation in Greece is grim indeed. No jobs, massive cuts, tax increases, inflation, relying on bailout money etc. We see the riots and unrest on UK tv. Worrying. I'd say its only a matter of time before the Euro collapses. Then the EU will be no more, or it will be reorganised into...

In my experience KS Windows 95 version is better in terms of graphics and sound. Also I think the fmv is slightly better - not much tho. I'd like to try the 3DO version of wc3 - the only version I havnt played. I think its supposed to have the best quality fmv.

Duno if this is already known about, but I just came accross the neat new DVD cover art for the GOG release of Wing 1 & 2 http://i.cubeupload.com/EjtmwA.jpg

That may be true for WC 1-4, but I remember playing prophecy on a relatively basic win95 system at the time. The game could be run well, at normal speed (minus the special effects) without a 3d accelerator card. On an unrelated note, IMO prophecy had the best dogfights and gameplay after WC1.

I hope you're right and all... but is this some insider knowledge of yours? or just extreme optimisim? maybe both?!
