Post by: Rictor on October 06, 2004, 07:29:22 pm: wasn't this originally Starmaggedon 2?

Then they changed it to Project Freedom and now I guess they tacked on the Space Interceptor part..

Post by: Corsair on October 06, 2004, 07:33:36 pm: I guess they figure putting "Space Interceptor" in front will let people know that it's a space sim and not like a FPS or an RPG...

Post by: Fear on October 06, 2004, 07:46:17 pm: orignally it was called project earth, it was like homeworld but it sucked big time. it had some ideas though, insteed of finding ur oppent on a bigg 3d battlefield ur oppoent was right infront u so the battles were instensive, but the company kinda abodan that **** because it was a **** ... i think the company was called lemon interactive and changed it because it because they released poor games... but now they are realsing quite arcadish games that are fun to play...

Post by: Liberator on October 06, 2004, 10:37:03 pm: Looks awesome, certainly as good as the SCP, though not as good as Doom 3(Which I can't play since I don't have a Windows 2000 or higher os :mad: )

*UPDATE*
just tried it. The level is pathetically short, but it is fast paced and once you get used to the control scheme your ship handles like a dream. Something of note: It ran at a perfect 25 FPS at all times unless I was within about 200 meters of an explosion. As previously stated, it looks beautiful.

Now for the bad. It's FAST. There is no radar, also the HUD is...confusing and you can't lock a target, you just kinda point in their general direction and when they light up you fire you're apparently unlimited supply of swarm missiles to flame them and move on to the next one as fast as possible.

Post by: Ransom on October 07, 2004, 04:10:37 am: Fun, but I dislike the over-simplified interface and the Freelancerish mouse control. A little too arcadey if you ask me. And I wish they wouldn't applaud you every single time you get a kill.

Post by: Fear on October 07, 2004, 05:21:15 am: yep thats annoying ... i just hope the storyline in the full game will be better and with some twist .. it will probably save this game.
