Hey guys. Just a few questions: What are the differences between the PC and PSX versions of Wing Commanders 3 and 4? Please don't say "The PC version is better" or other pure-opinion statements.

Not sure about WC4, but console versions of WC3 didn't include the ground missions. Pre-rendered cut-scenes were used instead. Probably the same with WC4.

Pro PC: * Higher Resolution (I think) * Ground Missions * Better Joystick (if you have one) Pro Console: * In some versions of WC3 (I am not sure if ir was PSX, sorry) you got a good deal more moves then in the PC version. Some rather essentiell ones like "the Hobbes explanation movie". -- I ran Stacker on my monitor and now it's 28 inches wide! [Delete the karl after the @ to avoid my spam trap]

Pre-rendered cut-scenes were used instead. Probably > the same with WC4. Yes, both WC3 and WC4 on the PSX (and 3D0, for WC3) replaced the ground missions with FMV. The console versions also had a little more room to play around in, as PC CDs at the time were primarily 61-minute discs, while consoles had 70-minute discs. That's why, for example, the Hobbes betrayal explanation clip made it to the console WC3, but not the PC WC3.

You can download the movie and see for yourself: ftp://ftp.wcnews.com/files/wing3/hobbes.zip (507k) -- Just remember: when you go to court, you are trusting your fate to twelve people that weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty!
