Title: Wing Commander nostalgia on G4TV; also, Chris Roberts back to gaming? Post by: Lucas on August 18, 2011, 03:51:35 PM Here is a retrospective on the Wing Commander franchise (at the end of the article you can find the link to part 2):
http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/715219/the-history-of-wing-commander-part-one/ Also, an interview with Chris Roberts: a nice one, with good tidbits about his personal experience with the production of all those fantastic games (including Strike Commander, Privateer and Freelancer). Looks like he is also tempted to get back into the "mix": he would love to make another "Wing Commander" game, or anyway bring back the "cinematic" space shooting genre: http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/715384/back-on-the-flight-deck-an-interview-with-wing-commanders-chris-roberts/ Grr, what's with all these hero developers from my childhood and puberty getting grey hair and old in general? They're supposed to be immortal ! Title: Re: Wing Commander nostalgia on G4TV; also, Chris Roberts back to gaming?

"For over a thousand years, Roman conquerors returning from the wars enjoyed the honor of a triumph - a tumultuous parade. In the procession came trumpeters and musicians and strange animals from the conquered territories, together with carts laden with treasure and captured armaments. The conqueror rode in a triumphal chariot, the dazed prisoners walking in chains before him. Sometimes his children, robed in white, stood with him in the chariot, or rode the trace horses. A slave stood behind the conqueror, holding a golden crown, and whispering in his ear a warning: That all glory is fleeting."
