When is FS3 coming out?

Never, if THQ won't buy Freespace License and there is about 5% change that they are interested buying rights

we see in few years what happens I think

Post by: .::Tin Can::. on December 29, 2004, 09:59:13 am: Now that you have listed them, list how many have been made.

Post by: aldo_14 on December 29, 2004, 10:02:35 am: Think of the number that fail, though. Warhammer, Earth & Beyond, Mythica spring to mind, but there's a lot more that pass into obscurity. And many, many, competitors.

Plus the initial investment is pretty big, so you need a stable long term strategy to support it and add bandwidth, etc, as it goes - Interplays finances are shaky enough as is, how are they going to support a game for the 6 months or more it may take to break even.

Post by: .::Tin Can::. on December 29, 2004, 10:13:10 am: Took the words off the tip of my tongue, aldo. :p

Also, all those games you listed are MMORPG's, not Strategy games.

Post by: aldo_14 on December 30, 2004, 03:24:49 am: Then the FS license gets sold at auction as part of asset stripping the dead company, or handed over to the receivers / creditors.
