Post by: redsniper on May 03, 2003, 01:43:31 pm: do you have RF1?
Title: What's going on with [V]?
Post by: Galemp on May 03, 2003, 01:48:22 pm: I did. Hated it.

I still want to know what their next game is going to be... I mean, they have three franchises, Freespace, Summoner, and Red Faction, and all three have had sequels. What are they gonna do now?

Recheck your info because according to my close sources, there is no RED2.
Title: What's going on with [V]?
Post by: redsniper on May 03, 2003, 02:36:06 pm: Well... I wish they would make a Freespace 3 but the chances of that are even lower than Interplay's IQ:(

THQ will probably get them to make some crappy game that no one will want to buy

EDIT: i dunno i'm pretty sure there's a RED2. oh well doesn't matter any way:rolleyes:

why?
Title: What's going on with [V]?
Post by: Galemp on May 03, 2003, 03:43:00 pm: Because then all his fiddlings with the FS2 source, Aurora, and all his models will become obsolete. :rolleyes:

Correct, which makes the game worthless IMO. Multiplayer is the most important aspect of any game as it often deturmines its longevity.

Post by: silverwolf on May 04, 2003, 09:54:18 am: RF2 is came out for the gamecube too
Title: What's going on with [V]?
Post by: diamondgeezer on May 04, 2003, 09:58:13 am: I miss my Gamecube... had to sell last month to buy food :(

On the plus side, you can now get a cube + Metroid for 130 squids, making the game essentially 'free'. Then it's just another 35 squids for Zelda... *drools*

Post by: Bobboau on May 05, 2003, 11:17:55 am: actualy its becase of there perfomance with RF and Summoner that have turned me away from V
Title: What's going on with [V]?
Post by: Stunaep on May 05, 2003, 12:29:01 pm: Proves even more that [v]'s true strength relies in flight combat simulators. Look at the Descent series (sure they were a part of Parallax then but what the heck), and FS. RF1 wasn't bad at all too.
Title: What's going on with [V]?
Post by: tEAbAG on May 05, 2003, 01:29:20 pm: You think of Descent and Freespace as Flight Sims?

I saw something that might give us some hope. It seems someone is making a sequal to Total Annihilation. A rather old game whose original dev folded. They had a pretty hard-core fanbase too who were, apparently, finally reconized.

Must... Not... Give... Up...

crap, i just lost hope.

Post by: Stunaep on May 05, 2003, 02:19:56 pm: Flight *Combat* Sim.

Couldn't say Space Combat, because Descent isn't in space, couldn't say weird 3d shooter thingy, because FS isn't that.

Well it certainly wasn't good.

I find myself agreeing with Bob. V, in their current state, doesn't seem qualified to make an FS3 worthy of the name. We'd probably get something with no multiplayer, no mod support, a juvenile plot, atrocious voice acting, extremely simplified controls, and 12 missions total.

You mean... Freelancer? :D
Title: What's going on with [V]?
Post by: ZylonBane on May 06, 2003, 08:12:49 am: I was actually thinking "Red Faction In Space", but yeah, Freelancer fits the bill too.

And why did you change the first word of my quote? :wtf:
Title: What's going on with [V]?
Post by: Tiara on May 06, 2003, 08:28:30 am: Freelancer: Has MP (about 50 servers), is very moddable. Actually almnost everything in the game is moddable :D. Capships are flyable, actually all ships can be made flyable :D. FS ships can be imported :D

Though story and voice acting suck indeed :p Story is mainly a big tutorial so that you can freelance in MP with your friends.

We, Darkage and I, are making a FS -> FL conversion ;7
