Hi,

is there any chance that the Wing Commander series becoming available on GoG?
Those games are my favs and sadly no one makes any space sims nowadays :(

It all depends on who are the mysterious publishers announced to appear this summer. Until it reappears here try X3

You know, I should just keep a template of this response around...

No one knows for sure and GOG won't tell. They only make publisher and new game announcements once they are ready to release. At best they will drop an occasional obscure hint at what publisher or game they might be adding soon, but only as a direct lead up to the actual release.

It's almost like their head of marketing & PR is an enigmatic guy. >.>

They should totally can his arse, and replace him with someone normal!

:P
Lol
I love Wing Commander but even more I loved Freelancer. I wish we could grab that little gem here on GoG.
Biggest WC fan on GOG. Challenge me.

i am playing x3 terran conflict these days, and its not like wing commander, its more like elite (do what you want in space) with a massive chunk of economic simulation, building an empire, managing stuff and everything

if you want to go for something that is more like elite try evochron

i really hope the wing commander games will be avialable on gog, i think i never played 2, but i loved 1+3+4

edit:

also if you want to get everything out of x3 tc, try those tutorial videos:

Also they should add Starlancer, it's almost as good.

They should also add FreeSpace, which is in my opinion even better than... OH WAIT !

WC would still be good. I played several times WC1 and WC2 (not the expansion - too hard) in Ironman, and sometimes succeeded.

I think I've learned my lesson after seeing your glorious collection. That comes close, but doesn't trump the fond memories I have of playing the series (Crusader games too)...
If GOG did bring WC games to the site I hope they tweak them so it isnt near impossible to play with forcefeedback types, I suppose its playable with keyboard but not very easy.
