Wing Commander SEGA CD Gameplay and speech

Here's a gem of a game imo, way ahead of its time Before most even knew what the meaning of Interactive movie was. Wing Commander on the PC was awesome in use of film like scripts , the way the gameplay would alter depending out what you did in Gameplay , brilliant cast of characters , and some advance AI for the time . My mate used to have it on the PC and back then I was so jealous as I couldn't afford a PC and so wanted to play this game , But then GameArts game to the rescues, and did a fanatic port of the PC original , that made full use of the Mega CD with all the speech of the PCCD Rom version , full use of the PCM sound chip , and the ASCI scaling rotation chip.

The game just dragged you in, and one of the 1st and only games where I cared about the characters , you started to build up a bond with then, and if they got killed in the heat of battle , I really felt sad when attending their funerals (yes there's even funerals in this game). Brilliant game and one can't beat sending a insult to the furballs just as you're about to blow the sod up.

I also enjoyed the movie adaptation of the game, which was also done by Chris Roberts

@argebarse I wish some clever hackers would get on that... Heck, freaking EA should do it! I'd buy it...

[hillbillygenius]

Holy fuck! The entire crew is made up of orange people! LIKE ON FUCKING JERSEY SHORE OH GOD! D:

[argebarse]

@PocholoMaricon If we could somehow merge the sound and graphics from the Kilrathi Saga version with the voice acting from this version, we'd have the perfect version of Wing Commander.

...Why was the voice acting in this not only better than Super Wing Commander on 3D0, but at points, even better than the voice acting in Wing Commander II?

Really, most of these people do such a good job, why didn't they just re-hire them?

[CMDBob]

Oh god, WHY did they change the music? The PC had AMAZING music (and the Amiga, SNES and whatever versions were good too, as they at least had a version of the PC music). At least there is voice acting.

I had the snes version....but damn do I love that water bucket!

@bonapartist

A bit late 2 say this lol...yeah I didn't like the movie either but I don't think it's fair to blame the movie production for the fall of WC. First off EA bought off Origin, we kno what happens when an MBA dominated company takes over a developer oriented 1 (same w/ westwood studios). Also after a point, space sims simply fell out of favour from the mass market. I dunno why tho....Freespace 2 tried to reseurrect this genre but failed.
