Talk:Wing Commander IV: The Price of Freedom

Untitled
This article makes a reference to being the "single most expensive video game ever produced" at $10M.

However, Shenmue is in the Guiness Book of world records with a $20M cost (at least).

Ship names italicized and various other minor fixes
Italicized all the ship names I could find, and also touched up some of the info bytes for various Characters and fighters.--Raguleader 20:28, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Redshirts
"WC4 was also the first game to have 'redshirt' pilots, who had their own identities but were not important to the plot (as opposed to the flight groups of the previous three games, which contained at most ten pilots). These redshirts can be killed permanently in combat, but main-character pilots will always eject unless their death is mandated by the game's plot." This paragraph is confusing, at least to someone like me who hasn't played the game. What does the part in parenthesis about flight groups having ten pilots have to do with having non-important characters? It should also say if this is the first game where main-character pilots can't be killed in combat. The fact that "redshirts" now exist doesn't imply that. --70.143.43.245 16:15, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I reworked the paragraph a bit for clarity.--Raguleader 04:03, 21 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I've changed that piece considerably because Redshrits NEVER get killed with the exception of Moose (who is killed in the cutscene presenting the jamming in Pelius). Otherwise, they always eject. No named pilots die without plot reasons in this game (and only three, four if you count Seether, may die: Vagabond, Catscratch and Moose. Otherwise, they always eject). --Rogue, 03:55 PM, November 10th, 2009

Playstation Version
The article mentions it came out on 6 CD-Roms for MS-Dos/Windows, then goes on to say DVD Versions were made.

But the first time I played this game was on my friends Playstation, and as far as I remember it only had 4 cd's, so did they drop anything to make it fit on less discs? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lmcgregoruk (talk • contribs) 19:40, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

They did drop some missions and Cinematic movies out of the ps1 version. Like the scene where Manic was talking about a new bio Chemist coming on board. I know this because I have played both versions of the game. One thing I don't understand is that the PC version was rated M and the Ps1 was rated T. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.208.81.74 (talk) 13:29, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
