Privateer Remake Beta released

Sat Oct 30, 2004 11:31 pm by Esquilax

I just thought that I should mention that the "Wing Commander Universe - Privateer Remake" Beta has just been released to the public. Previously, it was only available by emailing the creators, but it is now publicly available (you can find the site here (86 MB )). The remake uses the "VegaStrike" engine which is included in the remake (click here if you are interested in the original game), and looks promising, especially considering the excellent graphical quality of the VS engine. The remake also features the music and voicework from the original game as well as the plot, so it should be just like the real thing (more or less). I have just downloaded it, and am about to give it a try. If you decide to download it, please share your impressions.

so it should be just like the real thing (except without cockpit art).

The cockpits are in there, I did that part myself, around 3 years ago :p

The VegaStrike engine is 164Mb for those who don't have it.

You do not need to download Vegastrike to play the Privateer Remake, the file comes with a copy of the vegastrike executable. Everything you need is in the 90 MB download (or 155 MB for OSX). A Linux version (one that will work with any distro) is coming soon.

Oh cr*p, another game I have to think about trying out. I'm drowning in games I haven't got to yet.
