This version of Hobbes is a much better character than the one that showed up in WC3. Throughout WC2 you see a lot more of his personality and why he defected against the Kilrathi. Makes his ultimate betrayal make very little sense, with the lame "code word" excuse. Still, it was funny watching Thrakath talk through Hobbes' character around 3:44:35. I suppose makes his future betrayal make a little more sense.
Yeah that codeword twist doesn't make a whole lot of sense. And I played WC3 a hundred times as a kid. It would have been much better to maintain Hobbes' personality from this game, with no betrayal coming in to play. Because when you really think about it for more than a minute, Thrakhath's plans for him just don't make a whole lot of sense.
@@bigiladro well no it isn't. Most games take as much from concept to release. Plus it's from scratch. Not saying it isn't on the long side but how about waiting for release before judging
Nah something more delicious than that. Protagonist will be anything but a human male, and command structure will be mostly females. Basically modern Star Trek.
Interesting how in the 2nd to last mission you failed to kill Khasra and yet at the end of the game it says you killed him. I actually failed the initial attack on the cruisers defending the station (with all but one gun on my Sabre being shot off and pretty much all other systems having failed), but it seems if you return to the Concordia, they then send you out again and you can still get the same ending if you succeed that time.
I never managed to beat the either of the final cruiser assaults. The bastards kept shooting their ion cannons at me and making me dodge, causing me to lose my target lock.
how did you cheat the last mission? No way Sabre could survive that

Survive what, exactly? His wingmen drew most of the fire away from him, so didn't seem that hard to survive. Let's see, he did ram a Gothri head-on, which he has a tendency to do, but the Sabre can take such a hit. After regenerating some shields, he ran into another, but evidently not head-on because only his rear shields was taken out, and the Gothri survived (note the target lock remained, even though it was unable to track the target for a few seconds due to damage). So that impact was not as hard, and probably survivable even given the previous damage. And in the rest of the battle, the damage was relatively minor. He may have been lucky with the angle on the second one, but I don't see anything illegitimate.
I don’t know about the last mission, but there was definitely an early mission where his downed armor spontaneously repaired itself, and no damage registered for the rest of the mission.

Remember that as your ship blows up around you, hold the talk button so everybody can hear your dying scream.

I can't believe I had so much fun playing this game w such lousy graphic back in the days when I was still in high school. lol
Been a while since I did these missions.
Ouch you murdered Sky 1:12:05
The player doesn’t seem to be very good at this game, overall.
Better than Star Citizen
Hard to judge a game that's not out yet but ok
Si
@@tbone9474 a "game" that after 10 years and 500 million dollar is not complete...well if those facts are not enough to judge.....

Absolutely love this game and storyline. Hope they do a reboot!
I think Decent Freespace was the repoot of wing commander.
ha, they will give you JPEGs of the reboot, for only as cheap as $5000/JPEG!
Woke reboot?
@@mr.sinjin-smyth sure, instead of a cat race you’re fighting it’s a dog race. Take THAT wokeness!

You are assuming that the crown prince didn’t kill his cousin and then blame the main character.
Wow!

Is this game's Terran maybe inspired to name the terrans of Starcraft. Wow
Highly doubt this. Terra is latin for Earth and its adjective normative form is common usage in SciFi since forever.
wow the graphics/gameplay seems sluggish since i remembered playing them on 386 machine 25years++ ago , is this on DOSBOx?
I got WC around 94 and this is pretty much how I remember it.
I loved flying on the Jalthi (not sure of the spelling...)
