Wing Commander Saga out!

[Jatta Raso]

for those old die hard fans of space sims, the long in the making Freespace 2 mod of the Wing Commander series came out after all, tried the demo on its day and first mission thus far, what can i say, go get it it's free. great production values, these guys are to be commended, made cutscenes, recorded dialogues, full soundtrack, they should be making games for real. the legend of Freespace 2 lives on...

I had the demo on my PS1, played it for 5 minutes or something then quit because it made me nauseous.

descent freespace

i see not a lot of ppl seem to know Freespace 2 the epic space sim from 1999, perhaps the best produced game i've seen; outstanding visuals for its time, full weapons and wing customization, detailed wing management that was key to win though missions, fabulous voice acting and OST, fantastic story and campaign, the kind of narrative that makes you wonder what's out there.

with one of the strongest modding communities ever and still in active, game engine upgraded from dx6 to dx9 when it went open source, lots of new effects, HDR, high poly models, its new visuals stand even today... it's a shame it never sold well in spite of massively positive reviews, but poor marketing effort and lack of distribution didn't help either; so there went Freespace 3... but its legacy is still here today.

IMHO the more open ended Wing Commander Privateer was the best of the series in terms of playability.

I couldn't guess how many hours I spent on the WC series. But it was a blast in it's day. Tried this version for a little bit and I am pretty impressed. Runs great. Visuals are excellent. So far no problems. If the campaign plays out like it's supposed to I'd hope for more. It would be a worthwhile purchase in the future should the makers continue.

Wing Commander Saga is free to play! Suggest everyone try it out. Lot's of work from people nice enough to share it for free.
