Are there any rumors about future Wing Commander games in the works? I've heard rumors in various magazines about Privateer Online, but in my experience lag is too much of a problem for enjoyable multiplay. I'm waiting for a good new single player WC or Privateer game. Anyone know of any in the works?
 
Basically, if you want single player, you have a long wait.

You could look at some of the fan projects, they're the closest thing you'll find to a single player WC game for awhile

Yeah, I guess. I just don't know that Origin is making the right move going multiplayer. I really haven't played a fast-action game that worked well on the net. I think that time is fast approaching, but it will take awhile for people to get high-speed connections.
Also, WC has always been so story-oriented, and multiplay seems to just degenerate into a fragfest with everyone just killing each other. It will be interesting to see if they can make it work, though. If it works right, Privateer Online will be awesome, though.
 
I can't wait for any new W.C. game, Priv. Online online and others.

I really wish they would integrate a single player game into the MP game. Be alot nicer.

Hey what about Diaspora it already exists and is exactly like Privateer. The story may be different but the game is an exact ripoff.
 
There's also Freelancer, which will rock!

a) we don't KNOW it will be called privateer online... that's what we expect, they could easily change the name (though that would waste the domain name registration fee... oh no $35 for a major corporation... Though that seemed a problem for Microsoft (if you don't know what I mean about that... too bad :-) )

b) Origin never said they had stopped making single player games... Just that they were concentrating on MMP games FOR NOW.

Viper: When you think about it for a second, it all makes perfect sense. Origin has always pushed the envelope. So, it's only natural that they would now go into online gaming even though our computers aren't quite ready. As always, we'll simply have to upgrade them

Something most don't want to do. Especially if you have a stable system and don't want to risk screwing it up. Mistake a buddy of mine made.

Even if you COULD pay the price, I'd just raise it. :)
 
Oh come on Knight... If you know what you're doing you aren't going to make your system unstable. If you don't know what you're doing then you don't practice on a computer that is mission critical, so to speak.

I have been playing wing commander since the first game was released. If however, it should ever be only released as multiplayer then the last game I will ever have played will be Prophecy. In my personal opinion, the quality of a game is sadly reduced by being solely multiplayer.
 
I sure hope that there'll be space for freelancer and for guilds. One of the last things I want in a game is being "forced" to join a guild, er... I mean squadron.
 
I'll stick to playing prophecy and making missions for WCIV thanks to the programs HC1 made. Thank you man!!!

If you want a challenge or some new wing commander stuff...try the Wing Commander add ons for X-Wing Alliance. THey may help entertain you a bit. *shrugs* now if only I could get X-Wing Alliance to work for me. *grumbles something about a damm scratched CD*
