Freespace

Freespace was one of my alltime favorite games, I`m wondering if there are any plans to resurect this game, since it ended with a huge cliff hanger ending

um, if you're referring to freespace 1, then yes, there is a sequel, called freespace 2. It's pretty widely available...

If you're referring to freespace 2, which didn't really have that much of a cliff hang ending, then no, there really isn't as far as I know.

FreeSpace 2 was one hell of a cliffhanger. So many unexplained questions that need answers.

Yes at the end of Freespace 2 i was just wtf?? the shivans had jumped out before the supernova and i was just left thinking besides whoa! " what happened? is it over? why did they make a super nova? etc" Pretty good ending sort of like the end of the first game where you just don't have any of the answers you really want to know (like what happened to your pilot, the others, and everyone in the earth system after the distruction of the Lucifer), and are craving for more (although this was only 2 years ago when i first played it so i knew there was not another one ready to play straight after) :( .

I found freespace 2 through a mod called Beyond the Red Line (battlestar galactica) which I was reading about where i heard alot of good things about the actual game so bought myself a copy off ebay for a try and boy was i pleasently surprised, it turned out to be much better than I had expected although it did take me a while to get any good at it (getting a joystick helped). Sence then have gotten Conflict Freespace (Yes i live in Europe where its called "Conflict" instead of "Decent"((why is that?)) ) and slient threat which i very much enjoy also (although i missed the beam cannons and flak from the 2nd game whilst playing these haha). I think Volition were very smart in making the game start with the 2 empires starting with a long long war (14 years) so naturally both sides have few ships for each mission (meaning an excuse for having less big ships in each mission) which i liked the idea of.

To be hounest I'm not sure if gamesas has any intrest in Freespace sequels any time soon as although Freespace 2 was widely aknowledged as a brilliant game in basicly every review it got it didn't sell very well, which was probably due to most people just not knowing about it (in my opinion. No offence to gamesas intended). From what I have read it wasn't very well promoted at the time up to and when it was released.

Well I'm a bit tired of my rant at the moment so il end it here for now. "This is the GTVA Colossus. Fighters, stand clear of hostile warships. All batteries, fire at will!" Image

This game seriously needs a third instalment! When i think of all those times i fly a bomber through the steady fumps of all the enemy flak cannons, or the time when you have to DIVE DIVE DIVE HIT YOUR BURNERS PILOT! i get the urge to play again.. I just wish there was a new version, so i could see all those behemoths slide through space silently and slice other ships in half with their massive beam weapons.

Best start to a mission ever!! Usually at the start of the missions you are just sorting out the other ships and just taking a few seconds to figure where eveything is, in this Dive and use the afterburners imediately or get crushed. Love how it just caught you completely offguard first time you played it. "This is the GTVA Colossus. Fighters, stand clear of hostile warships. All batteries, fire at will!" Image

Ok we will give you a few years to work on the right answer sure! ;) I'm sure once gamesas has made itself a big success again in the next few years we could have a good chance of perhaps seeing a new FS game.

Well the way i see it is that if it is released and turns out not to be very good, at least we will know. Id rather it came out and wasn't very good than for it never to come out with everyone constantly waiting for it for a long time. etc etc. "This is the GTVA Colossus.

True. But i think if they made it, they would make it good. Sofar, with the Descent series, i have not seen them screw up the games yet.

Didn't Volition not make them though? Maybe I'm wrong here as not very sure. Il have a wee nosy at them now.

EDIT: nope my mistake. Says some company called parallex software made it though. "This is the GTVA Colossus. Fighters, stand clear of hostile warships. All batteries, fire at will!" Image

I'd rather leave the questions unanswered than get some piece of crap thrust on the series.
