Well to get things started and why I am making this I have gotten a PM from matt2k7TX on youtube wanting my freespace cutscenes that I posted. he said
[quote youre awesome bro.
this is the best game series i have ever played.
just some info... interplay is ramping up their stuidios again. they are supposedly bringing back a few select franchises. Earthworm Jim, Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, Descent, and MDK obviously and another currently unnamed previous franchise. FREESPACE 3 would kick so much ass on the 360.
totally different gameplay style and everything, but if you have never played fallout 1 or 2, buy them for $5. play fallout 2. best RPG ever.
Amazing that my 2 favorite games were interplay games and interplay folded 2 years later. amazing that they were both so critically acclaimed and sold so poorly.
my lil bro is 11 and i am going to show him these videos and see if he wants me to build him a PC and play these games for his Bday....
anyways thanks dude...

I don't believe him but I went to check and Wikipedia and a video game news page today to find out it was true :shaking: It is not that I want a freespace3 I do but the only way I want a freespace3 is if it was done right. PC only, same gameplay, and was made with David Barnic, Jason Scott, and Atom Pletcher.
-
Oh, another "The Interplay returneth" thread. Old news.
FREESPACE 3 would kick so much ass on the 360.
Energy management would be a pain in the arse without a keyboard.
Atom Pletcher.
I think you meant 'Adam'. Then again, that does sound like a super hero or something. "Fear not! For I am Atom Pletcher, saviour of the needy and protector of the weak!".
-
Don't do that m8 ! You wont like the asswopping some of the members around here can dish out. I mean even I have gotten tired of hearing of potetian FS-X revivals .
-
I'm tempted to lock this thread just because of the flames it will cause. There will be no FS3, FS gameplay as it is now would not work on a console. There, this thread is done with, because after 20 pages that's what's going to be decided.
-
I didnt see the other interplay topic, and hurray! Im glad its alive. I hope interplay throws a fastball and does FS...on PC.
And yeah funny thing is this. First thing i thought of when they said FS3 on 360, was how the hell to do shield and ESW management.
-
i hope they dont bring out fs for the consoles , but i think it is doable the controls can be run from a scroll based hud, using a joystik with a pov , then its just a case of alocating buttons , and mapping them....................
-
FreeSpace3 would only work on console if it went the way of Steel Battallion and included a cockpit set on the game.
Which would, obviously, be pretty awesome but even more unrealistic than having the game in the first place, since it would be even more of a huge investment risk to any game studio/publisher who would do it...
-
Freespace 3 has been in development since 1998.
It's coming out any day now.
-
I wouldn't mind an FS on the 360 seeing how I own one :P
But I recently bought Project Sylpheed which is a decent free form space shooter and Ace Combat 6 which is a really good free form action flight game. Both played really well. Both games, however, have awkward and flaccid dialog owing to their Japanese origins.

Freespace 3 will be release the quarter after Duke Nukem: Forever is released.
-
Yep. Duke Nukem has the contract ahead of them in the CD burning factory so they have to wait for it to be done first.

Actually the CD pressing factory. Last I heard, both games were so massive that they required 3-4 Blu-Ray discs to install. Interplay/:v: and 3DRealms are putting the final touches on the games. Don't plan on running them anytime soon--I heard they'll do 10FPS at medium quality on a dual-HD3870X2 configuration with dual Harpertown Quads at 3GHz with 16GB of RAM.

My Commodore 64 should do fine, then.
I would use my abacus, but I'm finding the unifying equation with it right now.

10 fps on medium quality? More like four to seven on low quality...

Isn't Interplay's return contingent on them securing enough funds and investors, which is not guaranteed by any means?

Oh, sorry. 4-7fps on low on Windows, about 10fps on medium on the proprietary and closed-source non-GUI Unix with fully custom graphics libraries. The games will cost about $120 to buy and the OS will be another $280--and for that price, they'll throw in a cheap USB joystick too.

... what?
but guys, forget about it. Freespace 3 that i know we all have wanted at one point or another will NEVER come. There may be a freespace 3, but it wont be ours. besides, with V gone to making games that make halo and doom seems like little preschool stuff, it will never be the REAL freespace 3, even if V did do it.
besides, do you seriously want to throw every last bit of work that WE'VE YOU'VE done for the past nine years go away, replaced by something i doubt will be much better then... *shudder* battlecruiser 3000?

Dude... we were joking around. Don't take it seriously. You can it was all a joke after DNF, 3-4 Blu-Ray discs, $120 MSRP, $280 OS, and the awesome DP system with CrossFireX4.

One day I am going to find Jason Scott.
And I will have closure....
...One day...

I hear they might just decide to release the quantum computer version only, just because the fps is so low on 64bit computers.

FreeSpace 3??!!
Rabble! Rabble! Rabble!
Even if an FS3 did come out it would suck major ass (suck ass majorly?) because of our expectations.

Yeah. I mean, it most of you have already decided that it would suck. :p
-
Yeah. I mean, it most of you have already decided that it would suck. :p
Naturally, with so much expectation, it would have to, unless they released the best game in history (because that's what we'd expect FS3 to be: the best game in history)

Except my point was that everyone expects it to suck, not that everyone expects it to be awesome. If everyone expected it to be super-awesome, then why would we all be so hostile to the idea of FS3 being developed, even by volition? :blah:
-
If it were made by :v:, I'd have some hope for it.
Anyone else, I wouldn't expect too much.
-
i have no hope period. the sun is shining, and yet i feel no warmth.

lol. i've heard of those. thats all i get besides hard-light when i look up freespace now.
-
Lol, same thing here, but this is how i know that freespace 3 is better than freespace 2....bose.

Bah.......... MY headphones are MX-50's http://www.digitaldirect.co.uk/products_moreinfo3/index.asp?product_id=11040 (http://www.digitaldirect.co.uk/products_moreinfo3/index.asp?product_id=11040) They cost me £20 in HMV, £20 for a few kilotonnes? bargain :p
-
Who gives a damn about your headphones? Freespace 3 is to be released any day now.
-
Why did noone here buy the rights to the *S3 .coms? An my headphones are great! :p

Just buy it! It's already here :wtf:

And in no way is freespace 3 going to setback the community either. Just from the looks of i can tell it's compatible with fs2.
-
I've not read up on this. You are NOT serious? FS3? Bah you must be joking.
-
Yeah i'm not joking. Fs3 is compatible with fs2. You just plug in fs3 to your computer, and play fs2. It's really cool.

What I was always wondering is - if the game is called BATTLECRUISER 300, why is there a crappy fighter on the front? Must be Derek's ingenious marketing gimmick.

The game's not called BATTLECRUISER 300. It's called BATTLECRUISER 3000. Battlecruiser 300 would be like, people with spears on a raft.

WRONG AGAIN. BATTLECRUISER 3000 could also be people with spears on a raft. Now, BC 3000AD is space ships.

I figure if derek smart had made fs3 that the game review summaries i put on my photoshopped box art would suffice.

Battlecruiser 300 would be quite interesting actually....
'Madness? Madness?...This....is....your Desktop!!!'

Battlecruiser 3000 B.C.? That'd be cool. Venture across the seas with your trusty boat. Fight other boats. Visit shores and experience using your own goddamn feet to get around. Ctrl-Shift-F-Prt SC for exiting/entering the boat when exactly 1m away from the shore.

But with Battlecruiser 3000 B.C. you could actually use the word 'Sparta'.

Lolz @ spears on raft!
