you guys could had used some of the Previous Wing Commander Cutscenes, WC4 and WCP has some darn good DVD quality cut-scenes
therefore, great video, its good to see WC receiving some love ;)
i want video with it, not just audio😭😭😭🤬
You should do the western alliance from starlancer
You should narrate audiobooks, great voice
Wing Commander was probably one of my favorite game franchises in the 90s.
Really is a damn shame that Wing Commander is no more. I think a rewamp of the old games would do well today. (yes I am aware of Star Citizen)
Kilrathi canonically do exist in SC universe, but we most likely never actually encounter them due to license reasons.
@@TheRezro They are mentioned? surprising, and welcome I suppose :)
@@FiliusFidelis Well, in license friendly way. Though Chris Roberts implied that there is spiritual continuity.
Look up Wing commander, Darkest Dawn. It is a fan made game with the freespace 2 engine, and i have to say, it is actually more fun as the originals. (The characters are lovable, the missions are interesting - and really hard sometimes - the whole game is obviously a labour of love.)
Imagine being able to play as a killrathi in star citizen that would be awesome @@TheRezro
That is awesome. I played all Wing Commander Games. The Tigers Claw will always be a part of my childhood!
Wing commander, is that the Mark Hamill game?
Yep
Only from WC3 and beyond
Wing Commander 1 & 2 you can name your character, and is known as "bluehair" due to his character model. He was turned into Colonel Christopher Blair callsign "maverick" and "heart of the tiger" (later), portrayed by Mark Hamill.
No, it's that Freddie Prinze Jr. Film.
It is also that, the Pilgram storyline was made canon by that movie.
The Kilrathi learned a very good lesson the day they kill a human. We are really good at war.
A Really good lesson
Sounds like they learned the same lesson as the Kizinti think BEFORE you scream and leap. Because evolution is a harsh teacher.
@@georgezwick3717 Humanity: favored tool of the Puppeteers for the elimination of predatory species and the dangerous exploration of the remains of powerful alien civilizations, whom the Puppeteers had orchestrated the destruction of.
But yea, those poor space tigers, they had no chance once they reminded humanity about War.
Because War, war never changes....
and years later we learned that there's something that puts fear even on the most rabid kilrathi, which are the bugs.
We're not good at war, we're good at figuring how other things tick and breaking it... And we're suicidal in that aspect once they attacked us...
Loved the WEC (World Economic Consortium) reference from the Crusader: No Remorse/No Regret games. Would love a video on that and the Silencer Corps.
I have never clicked on a video from this channel so fast. Thank you, I am huge Wing Commander fan since I was a child.
Oh awesome, I played Wing Commander like crazy when I was a kid.
lexington476 good days I loved that game I was very angry on Hobs betrayal
Same here. Not a gamer at all (now) but Wing Commander was my shit!
Well, your name is literally a ship from Wing Commander IV. :)
@@PetersonZF yep. Not the source of this name, but Lexington is used a lot in ship names.
Like your Avatar. The insignia of the mercenarie group called Crescent Hawk.
Finally, a space confederation that’s both realistic and non-villainous!
I played all the pc versions of this game. still have WC on the cd set. Loved this series! First played on an IBM 33mhz machine.
Yeah me too. my very first pc game was Wing Commander. still remember some of the answers for the questions they use to ask before the game stared.
I have the first two games on 3.5 floppy disk and that goes for the speech pack as well. And the first PC I played it on was a 286/16Mhz then a 386/20 Mhz and both were painful to play wc on.
@@philabrahams383 And the 33mhz was smooth as silk...when windows 3.1 was cooperating lol. But trying to run it on xp is overclocked. I tried to slow it down but no good.
@@icepicjoey See if you can get hold of an old DX2 66 PC running dos or if you haven't done this yet find a copy of DOS BOX and run WC in that.
@@philabrahams383 ty ill try dosbox first.
Wing Commander was my entire childhood, this is great content!
I even built Wing Commander fighters with LEGO and my desk was transformed into the TCS Concordia \ Victory
Have to say the movie is a Personal Guilty Pleasure of mine, and the film score is just to die for 💜
Same. Saw it in theaters when I was a kid and loved it, still love it till this very day.
Repensum est Canicula.
That which does not kill us will wish it had.
I am a huge Wing Commander fan. I have the entire book series (including the novels based off the movie), all the video games, and the board/card games. I wish they'd do a remastered version of the game, or relaunch the franchise for Xbox or PS.
Ahh, quality! The original trilogy was a favorite of mine back in the day. But let us never speak of the abomination that was the movie.
Sniff... Really miss wing commander. One of the best video games series ever. Even the crappy last one was still awesome. Every game taunt # 3 here kitty kitty... Great games
This series would be perfect to cover any number of really interesting realities that are only contained within books
Would love to see Peter F Hamilton’s Commonwealth, or Asimov’s Foundation.
Good episode Templin Institute. I’ll need to see the others before I make a final decision, but this one seems like it’ll open up a lot of content that the Institute wouldn’t normally be able to cover.
I love the old wing commander games!
A great game series and "you're either a earthworm or a eagle" also the Dragon was a AWESOME fighter but a Banshee wasn't a slouch
Ah, my nostalgia glasses! Well done to you guys!
I love this. I can listen while working on other stuff
Yes! More Wing Commander please!!!
I’ve been waiting for this one!
I don't know where you got much of your information but 1) you mixed the movie into the game universe, two very different canons, and 2) You didn't even mention the battle of McAuliffe/McAuliffe Ambush in 2634 where the Confederation lost most of it's modern carriers and big gun battleships. That battle alone is worthy of it's own video.
Actually, she mentioned the attack on Alexandria Station, which was the primary target in the McAuliffe Ambush according to "Action Stations".
Also, Star*Soldier already attempted to retcon both the Movie and the Academy Cartoon Series into the game universe, of which I have mixed feeling about myself to be honest.
Brilliant as usual
Wing Commander, Yathzee!!!! It's absolute classic Sci-fi brand
Oh wow this brings back memories!
Wing commander deserves a comeback, im almost 32 but have very little experience with this franchise
Wait...the Pilgrims are canon? I thought that was only movie canon?
Templin generally stretches canon so that they can make videos on what's the most interesting rather than the most official. At least, that's how I see it.
Its canon, Wing commander CIC has an entire timeline about it
"...Johannesburg, South Africa."
"5751 Feet."
"SCIENTOLOGY IS THE ONE TRUE RELIGION!"
@@gabrielaubry1334 I got that reference! I miss Spoony...
@@Bitterman5868 With respect, CIC doesn't get to 'decide' what's canon, technically EA does as they own the rights. The movie and games can't be in the same canon, they're wildly different from each other.
Love it, love it, love it! The WC series was my favorite growing up. I'd kill to have someone reboot the franchise with today's graphics.
Actually love this!
MY PRAYERS WERE HEARD
This was good, very good.
You forget how deep Wing Commander is.
Done correctly(as in, not like the movie, which really disappointed me), a movie reboot could go far.
I may have something for you, even though it's rather short:
th-cam.com/video/Bfw-5iXp8XA/w-d-xo.html
Actually, re-mastering of cut-scenes with minor segments of space-combat would be enough ;)
I don't really see how it could be adopted to modern days.
Shit, I know I said, audio logs is the least interesting for me, but now, I am envisioning audio logs covering the Man-Kzin wars by Larry Niven or the Imperial Radch by Anne Leckie or the Culture from Iain M. Bank's series. None of these fictional universes have much, if any, visual representation and I wish we could explore them more via these audio logs.
I agree, although audio logs can be considered more boring than most videos, it brings a lot of content to the table
Also... the only way to get an SCP vid
Indeed
@@ramonpizarro ah my mistake. Lemme fix that.
Please do the Gundam Universe's ZEON
Well that was cool. Long live the Empire!
World Economic Consortium?
The WEC was the antagonist in Crusader.
Both were by Origin...
loved it.
Please, make a video on EVE Online!
yaaaassss
Oh, I would dearly love to see you attempt The Culture. If you manage to get the timeline right I'd be most impressed.
7:50 SPACE FOOOOOOOOORCE!
Join the Space Force they said, live a life of adventure and see the galaxy. So what am I doing here hitting the same four nav-points day in and day out year after year for Insystem Security! Fucking recruiter. 😠
Will you do a video about the Dark Empire from Legends?
Long live CONFED!
Truthfully, I prefer various images related to the content while I watch and listen. Instead of a floating talking diamond.
Except this will mean huge bodies of altenate worlds will not be investigated
Yeah, I think this one has my vote.
Your voice is amazing. Who else is waiting with baited breath for this awesome gal to pilot the Guinevere???
Ok an episode about the terran republic (im assuming from planetside) would be awesome
I hope this becomes chosen.
Mind covering the Terran Confederation or the Kilrathi using the Wing Commander movie and footage from the games?
This is on my birthday!!!
Happy Birthday! :D
@@iona2225 thank you
Mine is tomorrow
@Dream0fSkye Thank you
@@thezebraherd8275 Good for you my fellow Libra
Do the kilrathi next!.
I demand a new wing commander game
Thats kind of messed to destroy a planet full of billions
What about a video on some Fallout lore ( because 76 ). wait I just remembered what the last video was
They made at least two...
One thing puzzles me about this video. You say there's insufficient visual data? Between the canon Wing Commander games, the movie, and The Darkest Dawn mod, it does seem you'd have enough to work with. Did this prove unfeasible?
Maybe one time you should hire a few artists to show off their ships and stories
Uss Walker of Destroyerman
Hell yes
If you do audio log, I have a recommendation for you. Can you do an episode(s) on some of the factions from the Leviathan series, by Scott Westerfield? For example, the Clankers, Darwinists, etc.
Hey Templin Institute, why do you consider there is insufficient visual for Wing Commander? There are the DOS and Windows games, still shots and that feature film that was in theaters decade or so ago. Great audio log though.
Pilgrims are not canon, they are a side, parallel branch.
And the ornithoid race are called the Firekkans not the Firekkans!
And here i tought we were talking about starcraft
Do a video about the Kilrathi Empire🐯🐯🦁🦁
FOR THE ALLIA-! Oh, whoops wrong video!
TERRAN REPUBLIC HELL YEAH
For my 9th birthday I asked for money so I could buy a PlayStation the very first game I got was wing commander I'd never heard of it but I liked the spaceship on the cover I fell in love with the franchise it's a shame it died I hope that star citizen actually comes out and serves as a worthy successor to WC
Wow, this may as well be Dune with the Pilgrims being just like Navigators. Do they use spice, too?
more like newtipes from gundam
The Banished from halo wars 2!
Terran Confederation lose in a war with the pilgrim but I don't know if its cannon or not.
I always pronounced "Firekkans" with three syllables, something like "Fir-Ek-Kans" rather than "Fire-Kkans." Although from the comments, I may be alone in this.
Umbrella Corporation Explained please
Why am I only discovering this just now?
Like to see the ueo video
If this is about soundtracks you MUST do one about Star Wars
This isn't about soundtracks
ooowwww
I thought the Star Empire of Manticore was the Audio Log Pilot?
It didnt win through in the last pilot week, but it has made a return in this pilot week
I thought this one would have pics of itself?
Do the book about the uss avintine
Do the One Year War from Gundam.
Commodore Blair kind of looks like Luke Skywalker.
Mark Hamill look like Mark Hamill? No shit 0_0
Isn't that the guy from Star Wars?
@@PetersonZF 🤣
@@TheRezro 😆
peace
Please do a video on Eve Online!
Wish i could play wing commander... They really need a remastered
Why no clips from the games? :(
I thought this was about starcrafts confederation, i was so confused
You guys did a debate on wether mechs were actually viable in warfare m. Can you do one on star fighters it be interesting to see that debate
There is no debate. Lasers and railguns will make fighters obsolete.
@Synthmilk How so?
@@k9thexv630 There is a limit how fast fighter can move. And no one would outmaneuver automatically targeted laser. Plus when reaching any target take you weeks, fighters are also out of use.
@@Synthmilk yea because beink king of ahes is usefull for some one
i do tink space figthers are reali limited probabli more in the use of a helicopter in the modern navi that a plane
why the bay particle beams are far more useful that lasers. lasers are inefective whit armor
I know your probably buisy running the channel, but maybe you guys could do the SCP foundation?
Oh shit, the culture is up? Fuck yeah!
I do have the feeling that the Kilrathi are a cheap copy of the noble Kzinti of Larry Niven's Ringworld Universe (which I suggested to make some videos about before) :) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kzin
I figure it was more like a tiger variation of the Klingon Empire when I first learn about them
With a lack of images, I would assume that I would listen to the audio logs like a podcast. The problem is that there is very little illustrative description and so I have a hard time visualizing what is being talked about. For example here, I understand that the Terran Confederation are humans and the Nethelum (?) are an insectoid race, but the Kilrathi and Firekkan are total blank slate and invoke very little imagery, sometimes making it hard to follow if I am not listening intensely. Even if I were, it still ends up lacking flavor and, to an extent, making it hard to really enjoy. I would never want the political elements and events to take a backseat, but if this is the channel I turn to for learning about these things, I would need a little more to get a feeling for the subject being discussed.
Not trying to be overly critical. I enjoy this channel a great deal. This format would just have to have some tweaking for me to think it worth the effort.
Why do they use footage from its movies & video games ?
didn't want to use footage from the wing commander movie? lol
Rohon from lord of the rings or helmsdeep
Would something Freespaceb related
wars
"Culture"
It tickles me willy!
:)
I hope Beastiary wins
Please do more Greater Terran Union instead.
