ok, from having read all the dire warnings I get the feeling that this may not be such a good idea, but...
Having read the posts about Volition being quite quiet about a certain product that everybody here has a degree of intrest in, I decided to go and have a quick look for some info. My first little stab seems to have turned up something,
There is a Freespace 3, 4 & 5 (.com), registererd by Volition, Inc. on the first of December 2004 which seems to be an slightly different to the registration date (and name address etc.) shown on freespace2.com
http://www.networksolutions.com/en_US/whois/results.jhtml;jsessionid=AD5MTK3NC2SDICWMEAQSFEY?whoistoken=0&_requestid=332460
I was just wondering, after a quick search of the board I couldn't see anything about anyone else having looked for any info- Does anybody else know anything about this?
:nervous: Don't kill me? Please?
-
...
Wow.
Interesting. I don't think I know anything else to say...
-
hmmm...u actually may have a point.
Good job,
but ur one out of thousands tho...
So at least they still consider it a possiblity.......

Coming in 2012!
FreeSpace 5: The Last Great War![/b]
-
Definately interesting, but Freespace 5? :wtf: Mmm...okay.
-
Well, it was the same for Bullfrog and Dungeon Keeper, they kept sites for DK3, 4 and 5 for years after they cancelled DK3. I also think much the same thing exists for Homeworld and a few other games. It's not so much 'planning ahead' as 'covering all eventualities'.
It was because of that spate of people buying sites like 'ManchesterUnited.com' etc so they could sell them to the actual clubs, businesses etc at vastly inflated prices.
-
Still, very, very interesting. Good investigative work.
:welcome:
-
it was registererd two months ago though?
Actually, if you take a look there are (UK) legal precedents against people that register a domain name with the intent to sell it on to a company at an inflated price, on the basis that the only reason for possessing it is to basicially blackmail someone as they can't tolerate the domain not being in there possession. With the precedent it would be fairly simple to get a court order to release a domain.
[EDIT] @Moonsword, aww thanks I feel welcome now. I was kind of expecting to be burnt alive...[/EDIT]
-
Wow, this happened such a short time ago...after the DS incident. They might be talking to THQ. :v: 's website isnt very informing on what they may be up to though.
[EDIT] @Moonsword, aww thanks I feel welcome now. I was kind of expecting to be burnt alive...[/EDIT] [/B]
Well you dont get burnt alive if you have something credible for us to listen to. Go see what else you can find since you obviously have a knack for this kind of thing.
:welcome:
-
i remember a few years ago i checked out www.freespace5.com, and it was a PXO squadron's website.
-
Wierd but cool, good work finding that out.:D :yes:
-
I hope yoiu're right, but it may just be that the registration was renewed 2 months ago. I'm not trying to shoot you down in flames btw, I just want to make sure we don't get over-excited ;)
Oh, and I forgot last time...
:welcome:
:D
-
I really want to say something about this but I am forbidden to :(
Anyways welcome to the HLP forum! :D
-
The records show that Volition registererd the domain, and it shows that they only did it in december.
It has hasen't been there for years because searching for freespace2.com does show that it was registererd years ago,
freespace2.com

Feel free to take a look yourself:-
http://www.networksolutions.com/en_US/whois/
I am not to sure about what else I can do that could get anything, as someone noted a while ago Volition is not exactly giving out lots of information.
I suppose the obvious thing to do is to sit and type in common filenames into those domains to see if there is a website minus a index page, that seems unlikely to do anything though, which leaves the weakest element in any security system, the human.
Does anyone have any contacts at Volition? it may be possible to use the presense of the domains to knock something loose from the solid wall hiding everything, like ask for comments on the rumor that they are in the final stages of talks with THQ about getting a contract for 3 FS games to continue the FS story. If you play your cards right they might phrase the reply e-mail in such as way it unintentionally gives you some information.

Well, they seem to be registered for 5 years at a time. So if it was in fact renewed, then it was first registered on December 1, 1999... which was right around when FS2 came out. Crap.
EDIT @ Freyr: "Record created" isn't guaranteed to refer to the original registration. It could also refer to a renewal.
-
you need a smiley shaking his head as well as nodding...
The domain record was created in december, hence december was the first they knew of it. The Record is like a file, it was created on the "created" date, adding another couple of years onto it would be shown under "database last updated".
[EDIT]@Goober5000 Someone said that they visited freespace5.com a few years ago and a fan site had it registererd, hence it couldn't have been registererd by V before whenever that was[/EDIT]
-
Interesting enough.... maybe they were renewing the domain names partly to piss off a certain oxy-moronic games developer?
However, as an aside;

which was registererd in 98, instead of like a month ago.

Notice how FS2's contact is Mark Muller, while FS3's contact is some roryp guy. Yet the decent 4 guy is Mark Muller, too. Interesting.

notice they both of those were registererd 7 years ago. Maybe in that time they had a reshuffle or he left?

I stand corrected then. :) I just wanted to be sure we considered all the possibilities. :)

I have sent an email to "Roryp" I will report back with any news I get.

*sigh* i'm not going to go thru my usual welcoming ordeal.
:welcome:
Exits are to the sides and rear. Personal flamethrowers are located under the seats, but they're probably full of water so you'll need your own napalm. Don't go crawling through the air vents as they're infested with Shivans. However, if you do encounter any Shivans, it's just Carl. Give him your lunch and run away. *breathes* Plasma rifles are located in the lockers up front. However these can only be opened by [V], God, an Admin, or a hyperintelligent shade of the color blue. Do not try to enter the control room as it is guarded by subspatial claymore mines. Thank you, and enjoy your stay!
Interesting find, tho. Very interesting.
EDIT: Just went to volition's site, and looked up Mark Muller. Found this on him (note the last sentence):
Mark Muller, Network Administrator
A die hard gamer as long as he can remember, Mark's computer background is long and treacherous. Starting with a TI99/4a using audio tape to store data, then moving into the realm of early Apple PC's, he was introduced to the idea of networking during a 2 year stint at the US Naval Academy and hasn't looked back since. The move to Volition seemed a natural marriage of his two loves, gaming and networks. While not maintaining the Volition network and harrassing techs from various hardware companies, Mark likes to play multiplayer games or sic his cat Ouch on random pedestrians. It's rumored that he blackmailed Volition into giving him the job by infiltrating their network from afar...but no one's proved this yet.

So he has been there for a while....or so it would seem. He was probably ordered to do this by someone because I doubt they would just do this out of the blue.....no way of finding out who (or what) tho really. I guess at least it proves that they have given more thought on the Freespace franchise instead of just plain forgetting it after interplay died and DS wanted the license. I would venture to say that it is possible they have the license....
-
Well, this is certainly....interesting news.
I'm not going to get too excited yet though, let's just wait and see what develops :)

I agree with Flip, can't get too excited, not yet anyways. But, how do we know if Freyr isn't an :v: employe leaking information.;7
-
Well techincally he diddnt really leak anything. He was just probably following orders.
-
Bah. It doesn't really matter. Mindless speculation...
-
:lol:, no, I am not a V employee, just for the paranoid ones, I saw something on SGN about an FS->A2 conversion and Galonreaver pointed me to here, I was quite content in Armada 2 before then, since I have been making an effort to go through all of your campaigns. I have sort of slowed down quite a lot now, I am about half way through technical superiority and I throught I would have a look around here, I kind of got sidetracked after reading about the not so smart chap and all the FS3 references all over the place and decided I would have a quick look to see what I could find.
on a side note, here's what V's website has to say about Rory, the guy that registererd the latest domains.
Rory Prendergast, Hardware Tech
Rory [R.O.R.Y.] was built in three 10 minute passes down an assembly line aisle in northern Illinois for the dual purpose of helping people sort out their computer problems and to make hardware recommendations, and he’s been programmed to do it all with a smile. His dark brown hair is Rayon, his space age polymer skin is a trade secret, and his bones are carbon fiber. The CPU brain, manufactured by IBM, is centuries ahead of everything else, be it silicon or carbon based. Volition picked him up in December of 2000 as a Christmas present to the overworked netadmin. He’s quite lifelike, but try as they may, no one here can make him laugh or cry.
-
Interesting...
-
oh some of these bios are great, it must have taken them months to have written them.
Daniel J. Wentz, Composer/Sound Designer
After a four year tour of duty with the GTA, Mr Wentz has finally earned his wings and been given an honorable discharge from the Freespace universe. He now is working full time on music, audio and level design for Red Faction. He is also being Summoned from time to time to help out on other projects. When asked to sum up his experience with the Alliance, he was quoted as saying... "Those Vasudan's gave me the willies, I still get junk mail from them from time to time."
-
:lol:
That's what happens when you don't give them ur head!
-
To hell with Wentz. It's him spamming us! :p
-
You know something, it would be kinda funny if :v: had the licsense since Interplay died, and was holding it above our heads to see how far the community would reach for it, before giving up.:lol: For some cruel joke.
-
this is interesting news indeed, if it turns out to be true...there will be alot of mods trying to get finished before FS3 were to come out, just so that we wouldn't be wrong AFTER it came out.
-
Good. Some of you folks need a kick in the pants...
-
Well, it could go either way, people could lose heart in their own mods if they knew that [v] was working on a new engine.
But it may well be fun, once TI is done, to look at some sort of total conversion based on a universe completely created by the Modders. It's something I'd love to take on one day, and the SCP is rapidly turning into the program to do it with :)
-
I've got my own fleet being assembled. :) Granted, Shadowwolf is using them, but it's more or less how I'd make them anyway, if I were making a fleet for myself. :)
-
hehehe Well, I have a few ideas ;)
Thing is, as I've said before, developing these mods is a bit like a game of chase, I suspect that with quite a few Mods, you'll almost be able to trace the history of features added to the SCP as the campaign goes on.
That's why I'd like to take something else on once it's done and start using the SCP Uber features from the top. Regardless of whether FS3 is being developed or not, I think something designed like that, even outside the FS universe, would have a lot of appeal ;)
-
If they Did make a FS3 they would have to do a lot to get past what the SCP has done... Quite a chalenge... I almost dear them to try it...

*Goes off to register www.freespace6.com*
:drevil:
Anyhow, very interesting. Veeeeery interesting indeed.
Although there have been things like there where a company registers a domain name with an obvious intent but never did anything with it...yet.
-
In some ways we're our own worst enemies. FS3 would never match the SCP because the SCP gives us the same game being constantly improved. Literally daily there are new features - whereas if you have a retail game it's just the same game forever (bar patches).
-
vyper, it wouldn't be about features; it would be about the [V] gods finally spilling some more of the beans, and as good as the SCP gets, that's something it can never do. :)

That and the SCP is what *we* want, and not what :V: has in mind, necessarily...
-
agreed raa. That has always been my stance, backj when the merger between hlp and vwbb for the scp was first being discussed. FS SCP has always been fs3 to me, but they were doing what i wanted.
-
Its about the storyline though, not the graphics engine. I don't really care if V uses the FS2 engine to continue the story, so long as there is an answer to some of the cliff hangers in FS2.
-
I have a feeling that you wouldn't get any answers, you would just get a few more questions that would add to the previous campaigns head screwyness, but I doubt this will materilise into much.
-
Not to be shooting down everyone's hopes but urm.
To me, this domain registration only seems to be a good planning method for Derek Smart or other future Derek Smart's to **** off with their ideas of developing any type of FreeSpace, to which all credit goes back to Volition really.
I think it's just a measure to deny others the name of fs3,4,5. Not a development strategy.
-
Then wouldn't it have been better to do it back in July? Things were much more uncertain back then, and we didn't know that DS wouldn't pre-empt the domain names himself.
-
and if they were doing it just to annoy someone making a FS3, why register 4 & 5 ?
and I don't claim to know about the US but people have lost domains in the UK for doing that, so I presume that a US court would reach a similar conclusion which would make it a rather pointless exercise.
-
I CAN'T STAND THE WAITNG!!!! :hopping:

Silence your tongue kie you can wait like the rest of us! :p

I'd go for it, no doubt. I even consider doing it myself a few years back, but the thought of replacing all the interface art..... :ick:

The reason people get flamed for talking about FS3 is cause they all say the same things we've heard a hundred times before. You didn't, so you didn't get flamed :D
I tend to think that this is also just fallout from the Derek Smart thing too. Registering a domain name is pretty cheap.
Has anyone thought of asking [V] if we can put up a redirect to the SCP website there though? If we ask nicely enough and make a page that makes it clear that the SCP isn't connected to Volition itself I can't see why they'd have any huge objection.
I'm not suggesting we ask them to make the site. I'm suggesting that we make up a page ourselves. Something with a single gorgeous shot of something in FS2_Open and a message saying like "Freespace 3 website coming soon. In the meantime check out FS2_Open."
-
:lol: The answer to that would probably reveal whether they were planning FS3. ;)
-
Yea exactly.
This evidence gives me much reason to believe that a FS3 concept is on their to-do list. We will probably have to wait a while for it though (2007?)...
-
The answer to that would probably reveal whether they were planning FS3.
:nod: nice idea, Go for it.
If they are looking at doing something with FS, (which personally I think they are doing) then they are probably not willing to discuss it with anyone so they don't get swamped with questions that they either can't answer or don't want to answer.

That's a side benifit :) I can't think of any reason they'd turn us down if they weren't working on FS3 and they might not even if they were. A nice FS2_Open screenshot would definately make people want FS3 more than the current "Website coming soon" sign they have now :)
Sadly I'm crap at HTML so I'm not doing it but if we make it so that all [V] have to do is log on and upload a few files they might do it for us. They've always seemed like stand up guys :)
-
erm, don't you need a hyperintelligent shade of blue or an admin for the plasmas?
Actually, there may be some point in what your saying, V may be negioating or something and if we get to noisey and they are in delicate talks then we may sort of erm... yeah.
Has V replied to that e-mail yet?
[EDIT]
I can do HTML. Hell, if they want I can do them an entire website... V probably won't do a site for a while unless they do websites in house, (which I doubt) because most design companies change in the thousands. The company I work for was looking around for a web design company to revamp our site and they all wanted around £8000 just to change the style. Of course, that just means I am now webmaster at work ;)
[/EDIT]
-
I am curious.... do most game companies keep development of games like this a secret or do they announce it at like 90% completion?

Not really, the anounced LO-MAC 3 1/2 years before they finally released it. And it still is not completed.:mad2:

'fraid not.
-
I doubt you will, but if you do the response will probably be pretty vague.
-
Any response can be interpreted in a number of ways... How far does your imagination go?
-
If they respond, it will be" can't give any details right now", lets all just wait till E3. Maybe we can get an anwser then.
-
Hold your breath. :p
-
Seeing a new Freespace game at E3 would literally make my year. I know all of this is just speculation right now but I cant help but thinking about it. :)
By the way (I was just thinking this), isnt this timeframe almost perfect for when the domains were registered. I mean diddnt :v:'s new game "the punisher" get released the same month?
-
One project down... time to start on the next...
-
It is an interesting coincidence... :)
EDIT: I checked their job board (http://www.volition-inc.com/v_employment.cfm), wondering if that might provide some insight. While they have many positions available, the only "level designer" position requires knowledge of 3DS Max or some other modelling tool. This doesn't fit particularly well with FS3 as we know it, unless they're making some sort of FPS. :ick:
-
I think I'll choose to remain skeptical. For now.
-
BUt, the thing is, how do we know they have not been checking in HLP and SG. And if they have, they know all about Twisted Infinites, and that people want to fly thru atmosphere. Or they could be making another Descent game.:nod: Whitch is allright with me, as long as FS3 is next.
-
hehehehe Actually, I seem to recall that the original FS2 models were made in 3DS ;)
-
But I'd hardly think a level designer would be necessary for an open-space based game. Lets face it, Freespace has no "levels" as any other game would know them. That's for some kind of FPS.
-

Agreed. If something happens, it happens. :)
-
Or, they are just keeping the domain names so they can sell them off for an exorbarant fee to whoever wants them.

There is an AI position open on the :v: Job board as well, and God knows FS needs better AI.

I'am in same boat as Shadow and Raa i think SCP is only thing we need because it's evolve
-
The release of FS3 wouldn't necessarily stop all the SCP, after all :v: wouldn't be constantly patching FS3 would they.
It'd be good if the SCP actually outdid FS3.

I beg to differ with that; I'm intending to try and bring FPS-style 'concepts' into FS2 missions (unique 'architecture' and props, scripted 'impact events', etc).

I sure hope your right Aldo....

Err... no. It's a [V] God, not V, God. God doesn't have permission to touch the plasma rifles here. Those newer welcome messages have it wrong... that's evolution for you.
-
God doesn't want them plasma rifles. He got mad at me because i pulled one on Him cuz i thought He was Raa (hey! He snuck up behind me!) and let me tell you, lightning striking the top of your head really hurts. a lot. ow.

oh, and the plasma rifles don't work anyway, do they? we ran out of ammo, and then threw them away in favor of mortar duels, right?

Indeed. It's always gone something like this:
Welcome to HLP!
Exits are to your right and left, and flamethrowers are under your seat. Be careful, though, as they are sometimes filled with water. If this is the case, try to club someone with the non-working shotguns in the weapon closet. Also, be careful while wandering the ventilation shafts. If you see a large, six-legged creature that looks really pissed, give him your lunch and he'll hopefully go away. In the event of an emergency, you can and will be used as a flotation device. The Plasma rifles in the forward locker are released only under authorization of an Admin, [V] God, and/or hyperintelligent shade of the color blue. Oh, and whatever you do, don't hit on Tiara, no matter how good of an idea it might seem.

Not the way I was greeted. I just copied 'n' pasted it into a notepad file, since I wasn't going to memorize that. So complain to whoever told that to me.

Why dose V not put good info on their site? Its all the same, they barely update it from what i can see.
If they are anything like my company nobody was made specificially responsible for updating it so nobody has done anything. Ours has only had the address changed on it in three years.

Yes. And you should have seen MY welcome message :D.
EDIT: This was the first, and probably last, welcome message I gave out.
I did this one
Welcome to the armpit of space, KyJelly. Exits are at the left or right, depending on whether you're smart enough to distinguish between left and right. If you see a Shivan, punch his lights out. That's Carl, and he stole my lunch. Bastard. Flamethrowers are under the seats. DO NOT USE THEM! The high concentration of oxygen makes everything flammable, and he's a smartass, whoever decided to put flamethrowers under the seats... What?? My "rambling" is pissing you off? Get the hell out of here you damn useless excuse for a pilot! GET LOST!!
Somehow, for some reason, that didnt sound very welcoming. I'll try better next time. :blah:
