Derek Smart wants to Develop FS3
In my opinion if there is going to be a FS3, a bigger, better know company should make it.

Guys- face it, Freespace 3 is dead. Not happening. Even if this guy buys it, by what I've seen of his past games, it wouldn't even be worth the bargin bin.

Let the game go, but use it to advance your own interests. If Derek were to buy the rights, he's looking at about 3 to 4 years to put out a quality game.. one that a distributor will release.

And the status of the internet and technology, or just the FSCP in that amount of time will eclipse anything this guy can outsource to India.

Will the result of the FSCP be Freespace? doesn't have to be. You can call it something unique, like "Freespace: Endgame" and provided the engine used was either derivitive of the FS2 engine (or somethign unique) and 80% of the content is changed, you're free to do as you please.

Here's my question.  Is anything going to change?  Mr. Smart can't touch Ferrium or the SCP.  He can't touch our mods.  So what, if anything will change if he gets his hands on the rights?  Nothing for me.  He will screw up a poorly received sequel, that's all.  He can't finish the story, [V] can.  Has anyone tried to contact the guys at [V] for the finishing story?  

Back to my question.  What will change?  Absolutely nothing.  love live our modders.

Exactly :)

He wants FS3, we want FS3, we just happen to want a different FS3. He pays a fortune for a license, [V] hand us access to FS2 on a plate, I think [V] have already answered our question for us ;)

Nothing will change in terms of the fans, it's like a closing blow.. it's like watching your father sell a classic corvette to someone who proceeds to put a fart can/spinners/leather carseat covers and paint it hot pink.


Meanwhile you and your buddies are restoring a classic as well that looks incredible and you have the blessing of Harley Earl.


It's a pride thing, not more than that.

Ok, I can see you both running to embrace each other on a beach with cheesy romance movie music playing in the background, and it's not a good mental image.

:p
Probably away. Contact through email.

You're lucky. I fast-forwarded to the wedding night.

I've got a faint image of Heretic's ass burned into everything in my imagination, now.

We're allowed to have our tender moments and cuddle :doubt:


but alas, my time here runs short. I think this is all being overblown at something that may or may not come to pass.
