Title: Good times- but will they last?
Post by: untouchable on November 28, 2001, 04:16:00 pm: I was lounging on my bead on a weeknight pondering about the good times- the present. But now that I am right in the middle of my campaign and I have realized that it is a lot more work than I origonally thought and I think that there is no possibility that I will finish until summer. Then I thought- with a horrified look on my face- how much longer will Freespace 2 last? Will the popularity die out? I ask you all this question.

Post by: Eishtmo on November 28, 2001, 05:09:00 pm: The community isn't going anywhere. There will still be plenty of people who are interested in FS by summer, maybe longer. The community may be small, but we're a persistent group. We'll be here. Will you?

I know there is a method, but all I see is madness.

Post by: Ace on November 28, 2001, 05:10:00 pm: I think that after all of these big campaigns are done, and people see just how much we can do with the FS engine, they'll want more (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Also with all of the cooperation between big campaign projects, I'm sure that the community will want to give some more, even if it's a final gesture before moving to other pastures like I-War2.

Post by: jonskowitz on November 29, 2001, 02:54:00 am: lol, The shame is understandable.

I hate to agree with much of anything said on the [shudders] VBB, but if FS isn't dead, then it is definately dying.

Interplay has gone TU, THQ thinks of it as a ******* child, there will be no sequel, PXO and Squadwar have been in and out of trouble lately...

Fortunately, there's at least [looks at registered members count] four-hundred dedicated, screaming fans here who still want more. While the FS franchise might be flat on it's back doing the "dance of the dying cockroach" there still seems to be plently of life left in the MOD comunity who simply will not let it slip away into the dark.

Hooray for us!!!

Post by: joek on November 29, 2001, 09:01:00 am: I'll keep playing (and be interested in) FS until a better version like it comes out. And I mean a game that has nebulas, beams, a great story, and flying non-newton style (like the FS games).

And if a game like that does come out, then I might still be into FS because I'm sure I would need to upgrade my wimpy 350Mhz computer for a game like that, and I don't see something like that happening for another year or more.

Joe.

Post by: Su-tehp on November 29, 2001, 12:10:00 pm: I, for one, am NOT going to let this game die. My work at FRED Zone will see to that.

Once the new FRED Zone "fast track" package of nine new coops gets validated, some life should return to this game. Since it was sent in to [V] less than two weeks ago, I expect it will be validated in less than three weeks.

Joe.

That's a ditto and a half over here. I feel exactly the same.

Honestly speaking, I know FS2 is getting old, but I don't think I'll ever get fully bored with it. You can tell, when there are games that you play through maybe a few times then relegate it back to its dusty spot on the shelf. For me, FS2 has never gone through this phase and I don't think it ever will. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Don't worry. When something better comes along it may fade. But not now. Not in 6 months, not in a year, a lot further off.

Face it. Free, Fight in space, INFERNO, TBP and yes SAAB. I mean that 's the future!

It`s 2003 and my wife is still waiting for the day that I get tired of it.

She will have to wait till the HLPBB dies.. I haven`t told her, but the HLPBB will be here for many years to come.:D :D

In saying that I rest my case.:p
