[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/wing_commander_4_the_price_of_freedom ][/url]A brilliant combination of sci-fi movie and pulse-pounding space fighter sim, Wing Commander IV is a pinnacle of gaming excellence

Even though in the game the price of freedom is eternal vigilance, the price of [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/wing_commander_4_the_price_of_freedom ]Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom[/url] is only $5.99 on GOG.com.

Colonel Christopher Blair, former savior of the Confederation, has hung up his spurs and retired as a farmer on a desert world. While Blair has been enjoying the start of his well-earned retirement, a new menace has surfaced. Tensions between the outer colonies and inner Confed worlds are higher than ever. As the newly-reactivated Colonel Blair, you have to decide how to save the Confederation--or if it should be saved at all.

At the time of its release, it was the largest and most expensive video game made yet with an over-the-roof budget of $12 million. The cast was filled with SF superstars like Mark Hamill as Christopher Blair, John Rhys-Davies as James "Paladin" Taggart, Thomas F. Wilson as Todd "Maniac" Marshall, and Malcolm McDowell as Admiral Geoffrey Tolwyn. Once again, this ragged band of heroes has to save the galaxy. The Wing Commander series captured perfectly the feeling of being both a game and a movie, and [url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/wing_commander_4_the_price_of_freedom ]Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom[/url] is arguably the most cinematic and epic game of the whole series.

The space combat is everything you expect from a WC game. It’s fast, it’s action-packed, and it’s varied, while missions range from tailing enemy ships or sneaking on an enemy base to detaining convoys and simple “kill the bad guy” battles. The music matches the game’s production value and supports the experience well. Overall, Wing Commander IV is a great addition to an excellent franchise, and will deliver a captivating experience for long-time fans and newcomers alike.

[url=http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/wing_commander_4_the_price_of_freedom ]Pick up this masterpiece for just $5.99[/url] right now on GOG.com and enjoy a true classic of PC gaming.

A shout-out goes to [url=http://www.wcnews.com/" target="_blank]WC News[/url] for all the help they gave the GOG.com team of content-wranglers in getting the extra goodies together that you're enjoying with the release, as well as helping us source a our game master & the DVD videos! They're awesome, and if you're a fan of Wing Commander, you should definitely check them out.

gameon: Is wing commander 3 hard?
It must be mentioned that (apparently unlike you) I usually play my games at hardest difficulty level for the challenge, and as someone said, WC3 and WC4 let you set the gameplay difficulty.

So, one could certainly argue that I should have just played it on easier setting, even if it doesn't feel challenging then anymore. But I have played much harder space combat sims as well (e.g. Star Wars on the hard difficulty setting, esp. the mission packs), and there completing the hard missions made me happy. I want my games hard and challenging, but still reasonable. :)

Anyway, maybe it is just me, I don't remember seeing anyone else ever complain about this with WC4 (nor WC3). I'm not saying WC4 is a poor game, it just left a bad taste to me. Maybe I was having bad days back then or something.

I'm definitely not trying to discourage anyone from buying and playing WC4, it is an important part of PC gaming history and probably the most high-profile AAAAA PC game at the time.

drhoads: Oh.. Did not think about that. I had a joystick and it was super easy on easy. I think with a keyboard it would be very difficult.
avatar
gameon: Uh oh. Oh well, i'll try it anyway. Who knows, i might be alright at it.
Hmm, that should be interesting. I definitely suggest using a proper flightstick with these games, as with most space combat sims of the era. I'm not sure whether they are playable with gamepads, ie. are you able to configure all the important keys from the keyboard to the pad buttons?

SLP2000: Speaking about that - GOG, are you going to bring us more goodies for other EA games?
More goodies for all games? :) http://www.gog.com/en/wishlist/site/more_bonus_material_for_games_already_on_gog

(Forever in-progress, but that's a good thing!)

Anyway, this release will make so many people so happy! :D And I know that many wanted the DVD quality stuff; so glad GOG was able to pull that off! Well done, boys/girls in blue! :D
Hahaha cool. :D
This isn't the best flight sim. It doesn't have a dance feature:

kodeen: I think that honor goes to TW2, at 10.3 GB. And that's before the Enhanced Edition comes out.

nijuu: Well ok biggest Classic game ;)
Unless you count TOCA 3, which was 7.3GB. :D

Miaghstir: I can't think of anyone else who would need to clarify that.

Aliasalpha: Well I've not been around for a while, who (other than me) knows if it was boredom with forums, depression or possibly gender reassignment surgery
Aha! Your avatar was a picture from you in the future after all! I knew it!
The wish list entry for this one needs to be updated to 'completed', also when will the 'hide completed' tick box work?
Cheers

Definitely. This isn't in the top ten (it's #14 not counting the completed ones), but it's certainly close and have over 2 1/2 grand worth of votes!

Maybe not "hard", but it's pretty confusing, that clicking on "Release: Wing Commander 4" brings you to nowhere...

Changing my habit to look just for picture not text requires lot of hard work now :/
Also, previous front page was very informative and was looking LIKE front page, this one is NOT informative and looks like leaflet with prices from some hypermarket. :(

Eh? I'm not quite sure I understand what the problem is. When I click on "Release: Wing Commander 4" it takes me right here. Where does it take you?
