The German Shock 2 gaming site has posted a new speculation piece about the potential for a new Wing Commander game. They base this on comments in Jeff Grubb's GamesBeats show. As the story goes, EA Motive of Star Wars Squadrons fame is working on a new game that's a comeback of a popular franchise. For many years, Wing Commander was in a distant third place behind Electronic Arts' other space sim franchises, Star Wars and Mass Effect, so prospects were slim. A lot has changed lately with Star Wars going non-exclusive and the mixed fortunes of the Mass Effect franchise. This means Wing Commander is certainly a potential contender once again, although the stars would need to align for a viable project to actually see the light of day. It's only a matter of time though, and we'll be here to bring you the news when it happens!

Here's something new and different in Howard Day's Wing Leader project. We've seen a lot of the pilots and their helmets lately, and Howard took this one step further to merge these characters with the exciting cockpit scenes shown off a while back. Check out Angel in the green VDU! To flip the camera around, the fighter seats have also been bulked up and fit a bit better with their flight suits. There's also a neat test of a pilot in the briefing room. You can see they're all the same person, but a lot of work goes into getting the scaling and light tones right. It's cool to see these difference pieces come together!

Bulked up the seats, fixed the padding stitching and wrinkles to blend/look better, added more helmet art, rank insignia on the respirators, and seatbelts!

Many characters in the Mass Effect franchise went through dramatic changes in their adventures with Commander Shepard. Based on player choices, some die, some go on to become leaders in their own right, and much more. The Quarian character Tali has been around for the entirety of the saga, working her way up from a pilgrimage to becoming a significant pillar among her people. Just as fans have fallen in love with the character, the trilogy also allows players to romance the character as well, with the relationship eventually culminating in a picture of the character’s unobscured face.

When Mass Effect 3 first released in 2012, the reveal wasn’t received well by many fans due to the image merely being a stock photo that was only slightly altered to fit the narrative. It seems as though the issue may have been resolved, at least a little, thanks to the recent release of the Mass Effect Legendary Edition

After numerous months of teasing and various showcases from developer BioWare, the awaited Mass Effect Legendary Edition is finally released, giving fans a fully remastered iteration of the beloved sci-fi RPG trilogy. Following the interstellar exploits of player character Commander Shepard, the three-game saga sees players tasked with exploring worlds, assembling allies, and protecting the galaxy from an ancient threat, with the re-release seeing numerous upgrades introduced such as updated visuals, performance, and gameplay across all three games.

As the collection also compiles nearly all DLC and add-on content featured throughout the trilogy, fans and newcomers alike are sure to see this as the ultimate version of the cosmic adventure. However, how has the game actually fared upon its release? Well, according to emerging reviews, Mass Effect Legendary Edition is indeed being very well received for its

I found a 1996 PlayStation magazine article about Wing Commander III with a truly amazing title:

ODVS is back with another exciting video enhancement. While the lion's share of his work has been focused on WC3, WC4 and Prophecy over the last year, today's sample focuses on Privateer 2! About a year ago, P2 director Steve Hilliker posted a wonderful compilation of enhanced footage pulled from some of the best source material still in existence. While it was a nice bump from what was included in the game, modern enhancement techniques can do some amazing things. AD and Owen worked together to add some excellent detail, and this teaser shows both side-by-side. You can grab the full 68 minute video here (2.7 gig mkv)!

*PLEASE ENSURE YOU'RE WATCHING THE 4K QUALITY STREAM TO SEE ALL IMPROVEMENTS*

AD got in touch to let me know he was cleaning up Steve Hilliker's "The Darkening" 25th Anniversary Remaster and asked if I'd like to get my "AI upscale thing to do its magic" and... er... remaster the
