Found this linked through Google News...
Bethesda are beavering on post-apocalyptic RPG Fallout 3, rumored to use the Oblivion engine... Fantasy RPG Baldur's Gate III is under Atari control... Warhammer The MMO is live and kicking under the aegis of Mythic and Namco... Adventure classic Sam & Max has been rescued by Telltale... Ubisoft's Silent Hunter 4 is expected to surface... Charles Cecil is bringing the Templar-tastic Da Vinci Code adventure to our screens and will then deliver a new Broken Sword game... Gory FPS Soldier of Fortune hasn't hung up its assault rifle yet either... Noble FPS Brothers in Arms 3 is being drilled by Gearbox... Molyneux promises more Black & White... Mark Donald will eat his hat if we don't see new Deus Ex and Thief games announced over the next 18 months... And have you noticed how FEAR ends with a major cliff-hanger? Could be a sequel there... Team Fortress 2 is still locked in Valve dungeon... Pitches are being invited for Freespace 3... Sid Meier promises more Civ...
And though we have not a shred of evidence, the next Grand Theft Auto, Max Payne 3, Dawn of War 2, Warcraft 4 and Starcraft 2 must be in the works.
Apparently this is in the January issue of PC Gamer.

/me braces for the swarm of noobs

I so don't see it happening.
-
I saw that. I reckoned it was more fallout from a certain someone's pratical joke. :p

More like a wishlist if you ask me :p
If even 1/3 of that list actually get releases I'll be one surprised person.
-
I'm betting it's just left-overs from the whole 'collapse of Interplay' thing. The rights have essentially been on offer since they went belly-up.
-
Has Dave Baranec or :v: ever hinted at what they would've done with the plot in FS3?
-
Is it me or is the excitment over the brand new forums that are coming up (http://www.interplay.com/) just orgasmic?
-

Apparently there was an interview (before Fs3 was ruled out as a possibility) where he alluded to ships large enough to have their own gravity fields. But not much else AFAIK. They do, purportedly, have a rough story bible somewhere for the series.
-
wouldn't we be among the first to know (outside of developer studio and so on) if fs3 was really going to happen?
-
Not really.

Probably not, actually. More likely they'd go to one of the big gaming news sites first.
-
Not really.
O RLY?
yeah, I ****ing had to.
-
While I'd love an FS3, I don't think it'd be great for the community itself...I mean, we'd lose the closeness after we got OMGPWND by a massive influx of noobs, and all mod projects would automatically be outdated/incorrect.
Still, it'd be nice to have the story continue, and have a new engine to play with :D
-
It'd be interesting to see if any Freespace 3 Engine could outstrip the FSO engine.
-
Most certainly. There's a lot of graphical improvements that could be made, at least.

Sounds like a lot of BS to me. They have just taken several random games and basically said "looks like this has potential for a sequel!" :p

I don't know where this came from, but it is not in that issue of PC Gamer. I have that issue and did not see that.

Raa, i was thinking about posting that, but i see you were faster :p :D

My God. Interplay is like the girl who was once a supermodel, and is now turning tricks under the bridge to feed her addiction. 1995 called, they want their website back.
-

Don't see what that has to do with anything, besides being flamebait. :wtf:
-
Most likely a reference to the "Buttsecks" owl.
Quite honestly, that was sort of odd.

Although, I hope this is true I doubt it's credibility. But if there was an FS3 It would be on top the list of high prioritiy purchases.
-
I would really like to see the actual article, and also for a little more confirmation/information. And it's good only if it's made by :v:.
-

Let's not all be fanboys, here, there'd be no point buying the game if it was made and turned out to be crap.
-
A Smartified game, in other words. :p
Let's be honest though, I think most of us community veterans would buy the game even if it turned out to be a piece of crap as long as there was some FS connection. We are all basically FS fanboys, evidenced by the fact that we're still in the community. :D
By the way, that article also lists Deus Ex 3 and Thief 4. What are the chances of that happening?

To find out the story, perhaps. Except the story is worthless unless it's by the original authors, otherwise it's the same state of canonicity as any mod.

Speak for yourself. I've got BitTorrent and 10Mbps connection. Like **** I'm paying for a crappy sequel.

Positive or negative meaning?

This thread is littered with quotable stuff, you guys. From this thread alone I have ample material for sigs to last a lifetime. Cheers.

Same thing. You would still take the trouble to find and play it, if only for the story as aldo said. We are after all the hardcore FS fans.

What do you think? :D

No, it's Chavez. It's Derek Smart :p

Ho-humm.

SO SRY!

Never said I wouldn't. Just that I wouldn't pay someone for bastardising the universe :)

rumor?.. i think not..

That looks fake to me. Is it supposed to be a poster?
-
they did have a poster at E3, iirc. could be a pic of that one.

it's the real deal, nothing much, to note, it was from bethseda, saying so much as "yes, we are developing it"
search around duck and cover (http://www.duckandcover.cx) and no mutants allowed (http://www.nma-fallout.com/) for any further snippets.
also, speaking of post-apoc games, "STALKER: Oblivion lost/shadows of chernobyl/yadda yadda" has been reputed to have gone into beta, at least there's some news of it coming out.

Lock thread. Stop f'in with my emotions. Makeing me read 'fs3 may happen' again. Bastards.. sick sick bastards..

Seconded. Why was this even brought up? We all know that FS3 is a sore subject around here, and the fact that this thread has gone on as long as it has (civilized, no less!!) kind of blows my mind.

Probably because it was started by an admin. :D
EDIT:
Just looked at that list again..... SOFIII?!?! pffff... this list is officially total bull****. :ick:

Agreed!
Whoever brought up the idea of FS3 becoming a real thing...aftet 7 years...is a very cruel person! Lets find whoever did this and keel haul them! + 500 lashes with a Cat of Nine Tails w/ fish hook barbs on the end... :mad: :mad2:
FS3 would be probably the one game I'd want above all possible othere.......how dare someone taunt us with delusions of grandeur?! :mad: :mad2:
Unfortunately..the INFERNO campaign is as close to a FS3 as our sore hearts can get.... :(
-
Clearly you have never played Derelict. No offense to Inferno, but there are such better campaigns out there from which to draw "closest to FS3" mentions.
-
I believe he praises Inferno as 'closest to FS3 as we're gonna get' namely in terms of adding new content. Derelict may have one of the best campaign stories out there, but Inferno has three completely new Fleets, and - at least aesthetically - is the most 'sequel-like' of FS2's pantheon of mods.
-
Quite honestly, I dont want Freespace 3, at least untill the BIG community campaigns have been released. We now have Derelict fixored up to SCP specs, and completely voice-acted head to toe, from the community. Others like Inferno, BWO, and other stories that stay in the freespace universe should be released first, before an FS3 or FS3-like game is released. I'd hate to see a game like that steal the thunder of the community's projects, which have been in the works for many years now. I'd love to see something new along the lines of Freespace/Descent/whatever because I LOVE that whole universe. Another spinoff perhaps? Freespace was a spinoff of Descent. I mean the title WAS "Descent: Freespace. The Great War" An official continuation of the story would be nice, but we have so many homegrown stories to tack on to the end of FS2 already. I think that the Freespace story should belong to the community, and we see something new along the lines of Freespace come out.
And quite honestly, why lock the thread. I've seen healthy discussion and not a flame war start from this topic. Just because your feelings get hurt doesnt mean we should lock it. Discuss and contemplate, but realize that this is only speculation.

Just....no.

-
Before you all start getting all chest-thumpy about the mention of FS3 remember that the sore point is people asking the same questions about it over and over again.
This on the other had was new. Probably nothing more than a rumour but new nonetheless.
-
Yea, what bothers me about FS3 is when everyone and their great great long lost uncle come in and ask when it's bieng made, and say that they heard Derek Smart is gonna be making it OMGWTFYAY. Any new rumors and such are good for discussion.
And sorry, but Inferno...I don't know why everyone (seems to be mostly the new people) say that it's FS3. It's just another mod to me; alright, but not the best. It's just the biggest. No offense to the Inferno crew, you did a great job, but I wouldn't call it FS3.
-
Can the noobs please stop flaming? Honestly, Grey Wolf nailed it right on the second post...
My main objective in posting this thread was to see if it had been corroborated by any other source, and ideally to get a scan of the relevant section like we had in the PCGamer UK thread.

and it's been over a year since a certain comic was made, and it still holds true to this day :p
