Wing Commander Saga was featured in an article in PC Gameplay, a Belgian gaming magazine. We would like to thank Spoon for sharing this article with us and for providing an English translation. The following is a loose translation of the article.
"WC3 was a milestone, not just for the space sim-genre but also in the way games were being presented. More then 10 years before mass effect, it allowed gamers to enjoy a interactive cinematic sci-fi story with real characters. After the excellent WC4 and very enjoyable Prophecy, the franchise came to a halt. EA released the 360 live arcade game WC arena and there were some rumours about a new next-gen WC being in production but for now it doesn't seem like there will be a new can of cat food to be opened any time soon. Fortunately there is the team behind WC Saga, a standalone Freespace2-mod which will tell a story parallel to that of WC3. The campaign will contain 35 missions, a dozend characters and a involving plot. There will also be a multiplayer part. "
(The text on the screen states, "Just like in WC3, you'll be able to land in hangers of capital ships.")

It\'s actually a Belgian PC magazine, it\'s just that Flamish and Dutch are pretty much the same language.
im a little confused about the voice acting for this game, in the demo it sounds like american voices for all the pilots, but in the trailers the voice acting sounds german? is the game going to be a combination of the two or what? 8)
As the description mentions, the latest trailer is a \"school project\". There will be an English version, we\'l also release a German version at some point. As a matter of fact, post production for the German prologue has just started.
This Mod deserves every single bit of publicity it receives. The past few days I have been addicted to the prologue. As an all time WC fan it was amazing to suddenly come across this website not that long ago. Thank you so much to everyone who is involved with this project it really is a fantastic piece of work and is a credit to all of the WC saga team. I simply cannot wait for the full version to be released.
Great stuff guys, a new Wing commander is LONG overdue.I am a musician, songwriter and composer and I have some \'original\' material that could be perfect for this game.
If the material is up to standard then I would be more than happy to donate some compositions to this project, just let me know and we can sort something out, cheers and good luck!

Thanks for the headsup.
