Found these over at one of the Descent forums I visit.

This one links to another forum. Leeching is not intended. I am not a member of that forum. I just saw it linked on the Descent forum.

I'm not expecting something big until gamesas confirms something.

Poke harder.

Reading through the forum posting on Duck-n-Cover where all this originated and the actual filing, there is some wild speculation going on. Once again, don't believe anything until it's announced by the company in question.

Chris will answer "can't say anything until the game is officially announced." hehehe Beta tester for:Descent 3 1.5 Patch, C&C Generals, Independance War 2,Starfleet Command 2,Settlers IV,Tzar,Allegiance,Starfleet Command (Alpha & Beta),MAX 2,Defiance

Chris, you must understand that us Descent fans are dying for a new Descent game. We've tried a few times with fan based games, mods from UT other engines but no go.

Descent is what really captured my heart for gaming. There is no other game out there that has the same style of play or freedom.

So when we read news that means there could possible be another game, we want info.

And yes, you are that predictable. Beta tester for:Descent 3 1.5 Patch, C&C Generals, Independance War 2,Starfleet Command 2,Settlers IV,Tzar,Allegiance,Starfleet Command (Alpha & Beta),MAX 2,Defiance

Yes we are dying Chris, Descent has been in our souls since the day it all began..well with me Descent did me alot of good the collection grows on, even that he Guinness World records accepted my claim of having the largest known Descent / Freespace collection in the world, they never sent a second reply that they would list it heh, ah well I'll just have to claim again.

We gave alot of publicity for a Descent 4, I just hope we could do the same for a Freespace 3 people.

Maybe gamesas got the idea that we are all willing to have a new Descent series and I hope the interest in this game series grows and also stay intact even if a new part is released, same would go for the Freespace series.

Just keep playing these games Pyro Jockeys and keep collecting for those that do that as well, I will do my best to get into the GWR, but nothing can be too certain at least they accepted my claim of having the largest in the world, I guess the idea was kinda new to them that they forgot about it? ah well ,no matter I have enough proof as that goes.


Anyways if a D4 will be done a mix of all 3 like that level from Sirius used in D2X-XL named Anthology something like a mix of all past 3 Descent games with a new nitch added to it some levels have to be narrow and creepy like them in D1 were some need to have large chambers with waterfalls and dashing rivers like seen alot in D2 and D2 Vertigo and others need outside area's like seen in D3 and D3 Merc.

What could D4 add/ Underwater possibilities maybe? Space combat even flying from way point to way point via sub terrain flight or via the warp drive but then manually?

Just an idea here and there, so yeah, I'll meet you all in the mines, lads!

Publicity is going to increase by 25 people. I'm going to give a speech about Descent in my class! If you are going to fight a war, do it efficiently, unremittingly, or don't do it at all--I'm not into ethics, I'm into efficiency.--Benjamin St. John "Descent" by Peter Telep

Yesss!!! Perfect that is what we need the more people learn about this game's history and what it did to the world when it was shown for the fiirst time in publicity the impact that it gave people like us, well the better I'm like, if you want to use pics of copies that were made feel free to click that pic in my thread and it will bring you to my gallery of my colelction, just feel free to use those pics of your speech or school project

Please let us know the results of your project! I'd be very excited to hear what they had to say about it Holder Of The World's Largest Descent / Freespace Collection:

Great! Thanks! Visuals will definately help me! Plus, I needed 3 sources that I needed to cite, so instead of me, mysef and I, I get to use me, myself, and Obi-Wan/Gold Leader!

JK about the me, myself and I. If you are going to fight a war, do it efficiently, unremittingly, or don't do it at all--I'm not into ethics, I'm into efficiency.--Benjamin St. John "Descent" by Peter Telep

Hey no probs man and hey after all it is nice to show them the largest Descet / Freespace collection known in the world right

It others would like to use my pics for reseach, school projects and such feel free to use them

Only when it comes to sales, uhm no that is something they should not be used for and I don't want either. But to show someine a picture of a game type you mean, research school projects, yeah why not if they are resourceful go ahead people. I'm fine with that

haha norries hmm that reminds me of that movie made a few years ago, uhm Me, Myself and Irene rofl
As that collection goes, it's not only my collection, but it's our reference of all what has been made, so i'd like to share it with everyone this way

The Descent dream must continue people hopefully this will help reminder the people at gamesas that we surely would adore a new Descent & Freespace game any time.

Keep up the faith everyone, it's somthing too precious too lose Holder Of The World's Largest Descent / Freespace Collection:

The thing for a successfull Descent game is the amount of the content, that should be published. You can make the best engine ever, with raytracing etc... but if you add only 3 levels, then this game will be nothing, but a graphics demo. If the engine will be "normal", nothing special, just dynamic lightning, shadows, normal shader effects, etc. but then if you add 50 levels, make a good story, add many game elements (play with gravitation, water-dynamics, electricity, magnetism, there are tons of game-elements you can add to such game like descent), then this will be the game of the year. I promise!

Syberflex,

why don't you finish your Descent clone? Or if that's too much, help out with D2X-XL? I could need some help with shadow mapping and deferred lighting.

This is the biggest move one could make.
The Descent community needs to come together.

yeah we sure do, though I wonder where all the vets went , like the pilots from Brothers of the Stone and such?

Makes me wonder sometimes, back when Descent 1,2 and 3 were launched there were so many Pyro Jockies, but now there are just a few , some still play Descent3 online on the Descentforum.de servers via some Vortex IRC chat program, D1X & D2X Rebirth is played often as well, I suppose D2X-XL is being played alot also, just never ran that online, that would be interesting to experience as well.

I just hope that if there will be a D4, that they will think about the gameplay the most this has to be the games main prioity , Deticated servers is amust too, as like some games such as Modern Warfare2, Command &Conquer 4 Tiberian Twilight and a few others have ditched the Deticated servers support, I just hope that D4 won't be a victim like those titles have become. Holder Of The World's Largest Descent / Freespace Collection:

Yeah karx11erx, D2X-XL is one of the greatest things happend to the descent world.

I didn't finished DeepWorld, because of lack of time and motivation. I'm software developer at work, and if I come at home, there is my wife and real life is going on. Most of the after-work time I want to relax from coding. ^^

But the time will come, some day, because this is something I want to finish, somehow ^^.

That's quite a big compliment you are making there, thank you.

Yed Karx, with people like you , Zico and some others the Descent dream will retain it's worthiness even more and even I thank you greatly for this support, your project is like that of Zico something hard to leave aside, it's something that keeps the Classic Descent spirit at it's very best and up to date as well, thanks for doing this and keeping the spirit alive man


@ SYBERFLEX.DE

Wow Deep World, hmm that sounds interesting, what would it of been like like D2X-XL very advanced or DXX-Rebirth retaining the old classic feel, or something in between?

Really if you can get Deep World an on going project again I'd like to do Alpha and Beta testing for you Holder Of The World's Largest Descent / Freespace Collection:
