    Wing Commander 3 Is Getting a 30th Anniversary Edition With Remastered FMVs From Restored Original Tapes

    EA has announced Wing Commander 3: 30th Anniversary Edition, featuring fully restored FMV sequences taken from the original tapes. The new version will also include a frame rate boost of up to 60 frames per second, an enhancement patch made with the Wing Commander fan community, and "Kilrathi Saga integration." The original 1994 release presented its two hours of FMV in 240p and heavily compressed, and unlike its 1996 sequel, never received an improved video re-release.
