Don't buy it. It's probably in bad shape, kara's not that smart.

uh, dude, the last update was 2005 :wtf:

The GTVA will be consumed by the Shivans' new 404 weapon, I see... :)
-
Wow...
That looks terrible.

I think aside from the aforementiond problems......
FreeSpace 3 wouldn't be hosted on a Tripod page :p
Very funny though, cheers for raising it CC .
-
BASTARD! I was jumping out of my seat shouting for joy.
-
GOD DAMNIT.
I feel rick rolled.
-
I like the spiderman/ntf logo.
Also, an official fs3 site wouldn't have the title "FreeSpace 3 Project"
-
Lol, a spiderman ntf logo :lol: Some little kid in the ntf is perhaps thinking there's spider-bosch?
Someones been googling freespace 3 for a while to find this page. By googling freespace 3 i've only found this page twice before, and then i forget how to find it again. You probably have this subconcious urge to buy bose freespace 3. It happens every time.
Someone should email this fs3 fanboy on his site. Find out more about him, and especially if he has content :yes:
-
No, I Image Googled "freespace" to try and find the SCP logo. Saw the site name, and investigated.

:lol:

Obviously it's not OUR member Hades...

The last time hadesflg1 posted anything on the net was back in 2006. I only picked up 3 entries when googling his username. His fs3 site, area51experience forum topic in spanish, and some other website he laid a comment on as well.
-
A Tripod site hosting a FreeSpace 3 project?
My BS detector is going off. I'm not even sure if I want to click that link.
-
Interplay and Violation inc are not pursuing Freespace 3 right now. Money issues.
There is a lawsuit with that Spanish company that went bankrupt who claims that Freespace is their when they bought Interplay.
Interplay says that they retained ownership of the original games but new development titles are part of the Spanish company which does not exist anymore and by default Interplay gets the rights since the Spanish company did not place any games from interplay in its list of assets when it filed bankruptcy.
So until Interplay gets back into operation nothing will happen.
Click on http://www.interplay.com and you will find the obvious.
Until Interplay gets up and running and finds the money to produce its games nothing will happen. No game has come out of Interplay since 2003.
I have also tried to contact Interplay to check on status. All you get is a recording.
-
We know, we know.
-
What rights does Interplay own nowadays, anyway? Red Faction is THQ's, Freespace 2 is sold of to the unknown, Descent maybe?
-
Interplay is planning sequels for Descent, Earthworm Jim, MDK and Baldurs Gate. And of course that Fallout MMORPG thing or something like that.
Interplay also still holds the rights for Freespace. But a thing to remember is that Descent 3 and Freespace 2 are largely responsible for Interplays fall in the first place since apparently no one bought them and interplay lost, like, everything. So they are propably throwing Descent out first, since it's older and more popular title, to see if there is a market for spacey flying shooter...
Interplay won't be making FS3 for many many years. If at all. First they'll try to make money with titles that might actually sell and make profit.
-
Enjoy your custom title Campbell. :p

My understanding is most of its early games. Most of which are being sublicense to Wii and to other consoles and are truly not part of the lawsuit which has stalled Interplay's renewal into the game market.
The games that are hot topic is Earthworm Jim expansions with one title that was close to have been finished back in 2005 and is rummored to be in beta form but Interplay does not have the money to publish it or have the resources to even to the basics of support and compatibility testing that is required by many retailers to prevent returns.
Most titles like Star Trek series, Balder's gate, Dungeons and dragons, Descent , Earthworm Jim series, Clayfighter, and boogerman are currently in development with consoles mainly wii and Sega genesis platforms.
Interplay's finished title of Ballarium is stuck in rights infringement arbitration and is no longer compatible to the PC market requiring the engine to be redesigned to be playable with XP and Vista.
Interplay is solvent as of 2008 but has no operating capital to do anything after it sold all the rights to Fallout and its other expansion packs and other indevelopment projects for that game. First level sales are not expected from consoles to happen until December of 2009.
Interplay had several projects either under development or in finished stage of story line and design. Several other titles are still being sublicensed overseas but are not of significant income producing.
Freespace and Freespace 2 along with battlechess are projects which suffered under lack of marketing and financial issues and improper external publisher problems.
The truth is that if Interplay simply redid Freespace 1 and 2 to bring it into full compatibility could see a renewal and boost in sales.
The cry for a true first person shooter space combat sim is massive. The cry for Freespace, Wing Commander, Star Crusader and Renegade is at an all time high and was addressed by both EA and Vivendi at the gamers convention in San Francisco. The renewal in interest with other flight simulation and related games is being developed by several companies including Microsoft but mainly at this time for consoles.
I am optimistic that a new generation first person shooter space combat will be a reality in the near future or within the next couple of years. Even Blizzard has one project which they are discussing for development that is based on the Star Craft universe where you have space flight combat in conjunction to gound combate modes.
Hope that answers your question.

My friends...we are at the dawn of a new age...
Soon we will be back into the light...
The era of space-sims will return!!!!
muahahahahahahaahahahaaaa

Surely you could have done better than "Easily fooled"? Something like "Gullible isn't in the dictionary" would have been far more appropriate.
-
I thought Colecampbell posted it as an obvious joke.
Surely he wouldn't have been fooled. . . . . :nervous: would he?
-
Aye, but it is already such an old joke. And I still find this (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,53237.msg1077727.html#msg1077727) to be funnier.
-
I thought Colecampbell posted it as an obvious joke.

Yes, but it's much funnier to act as if he was, give him a custom title related to it and generally laugh at him for being partial to buying bridges from strangers than to simply lock the thread for being an unfunny joke. :p
Especially as the more he denies not knowing it was a fake the more we can claim he doth protest too much. :p
-
At least I wasn't banned. in your face.
And it was a joke, no matter how much you guys say I believed it. I think the title says it all.

Go titles! Go titles! *does a funny little dance*

Quiet, you.
-
ok
-
:D you guys can be very entertaining sometimes. Chuckle. . .
-
I take the fact I don't have a title to be a good thing.
It means I have yet to do anything too stupid, annoying, ect.

Ahem.

Still being alive is stupid?

I found this the same way you did a while back... Searching "the google" for some images.

When Goob won the internet by convincing publications that Freespace was going to be on the X-Box was the funniest thing evar, I can't believe no one mentioned that yet. Unless it's one of those links I was too lazy to clicky.

It isn't.

Don't think that the guy was that on the ball, look at his page:

And the FF thing isn't an ad, it leads directly to the FF page, without any of that "pagead2.google..." BS.
-
:wtf:
-
I'm saying he's telling people to get FF, while saying to view his page with IE.
-
That's probably because the site looks like it was designed in Frontpage, which is never a good move in my experience.
-
I'm saying he's telling people to get FF, while saying to view his page with IE.
I know. I was agreeing with you :P

This is where you are wrong. capital04-01a is of a much lighter tone, what you are looking at is CorvSTile2A.

Its the same pattern :P

tile3 (Main Dis hull tile) also has the same pattern.
You better not start doing reskins, buddy, or you're screwed.

Actually...
I did a comparison, and it's somewhere in between the two, but a lot closer to capital04-01a

Bah...I'm sure everyone who ever played (and fell in love) with Freespace would definitely buy Freespace 3 no doubt no doubt....Let's see...
I'll need help making calculations...
Can anyone tell me how many members there are playing Freespace at the moment?
How much approximately it would cost to make the third installment?
How much they would sell for?
We'll see from there... :o
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do hope there will not be an FS3, but if there is, I'll buy it.

Same here.
-
I don't get it..........why?
-
No one wants the FS 3 to be screwed up. FS 3 will probably be screwed up unless [V] makes it.
Whats the Volition emote ?
-
I will tell you.
First, FreeSpace 3 will most likely not be made by Volition, but by another company that Interplay will contact once they find that another FreeSpace title might be enough to bring them out of bankruptcy. Since Volition struck a deal with THQ, and abandoned Interplay, there is probably a very small chance that Volition will get the intellectual property rights to be able to make the game and make money from it (legally, at least). If there's no money in it, then it simply won't be made. There's more money in it if Interplay goes and strikes a deal with, say, Derek Smrat.
Assume Derek Smrat or another person gets a hold of the IP and decides to make another FreeSpace title. They'll have their own ideas and their own convictions as to where the storyline will go. They'll turn FreeSpace into something else; if Derek Smrat got rights to make it, he expressed that he'd make his own universe and he'd be making it completely different. In fact, he said he'd go for his "universe exploration" design rather than the campaign and linear storyline approach FreeSpace takes. This will be like the prequel trilogy of Star Wars: canon crap. I personally wouldn't want canon crap.
Even if Volition got the license, I have to say FreeSpace 3 still wouldn't be great. Despite Volition knowing where the storyline will go and what they'll want to do with it, and being familiar with the universe and so being able to make a liable continuation of the storyline - It will not live up to our expectations. Personally, I envision any FreeSpace 3 as the ultimate gaming experience; the pinnacle of human understanding. But whatever it is, it won't be that. No matter how good it is, it just won't be as good as I, and undoubtedly many other people, expect it to be. We all think FreeSpace 3, whatever it is, will be unbelievable. But it won't be. It'll be a disappointment (unless it is mind-blowingly good).
Additionally, someone from Volition did actually say that if another FreeSpace title was released, it would most certainly be on the console, because it was "the future of the gaming scene" or something along those lines. Can you imagine FreeSpace on the XBox 360? Hell, can you imagine people playing it on their mobile phones? That would be wrong. A FreeSpace title will have to conform to the modern gaming tastes (or else it won't make any money). Do you understand what this means? It means it'll be on every console out there and there'll be stripped down versions of FS3 to play on your mobile phone or on your Nintendo DS or whatever. That means modding becomes impossible - You can't mod Halo 3, can you? You can't mod anything on a console. One of the most important parts of FreeSpace was how it was so moddable. Without the moddability of FS3, this forum would be long gone back in '02.
Also, FreeSpace 3 is made, everything we hold dear right now will be changed. Whether it's for the better or for the worse, it doesn't really matter. It will be such a big change that the entire FreeSpace community will be unrecognizable. To give a comparison, I'd have to say that it's like modern day humanity coming into contact with an advanced alien civilization - Whatever they do, whether they wage war or decide to give us hybrid cars that actually work, everything on Earth will be changed completely.
And not only that, everything from Machina Terra to Inferno to Black Water Operations to Derelict will become obsolete. Bye bye. They're all redundant now. They are not viable continuations to the FreeSpace storyline, now they're just a bunch of alternate events that could have been FreeSpace 3 - but failed. Even if they don't die like that, the motivation to finish old projects will be lost. Everyone will want to play the third title - Which would, seeing as it probably will be on a console, won't be moddable.
FreeSpace 3 will be the death warrant of the FreeSpace saga. Sure, it'll boost its popularity for a few months, but after that, we'll become a skeleton of what we are now.
-
Oh....snap...
Can there still be a possibility that Volition notices all of the hard work you people have done and uses the graphics and everything else plus their own ideas to make and epic FS3?
And the new FS3 could be released on PC...so it could have been modded...
EDIT: Bah....who am I kidding....
-
*snip*
Amen, brother escargot.

If there's no money in it, then it simply won't be made. There's more money in it if Interplay goes and strikes a deal with, say, Derek Smrat.
They can do all the deals they like and it won't be worth the paper it's written on most likely. Take a close look at the game and see who actually holds the copyright on the Freespace IP. Here's a clue, it's not Interplay.
What Interplay appears to hold is the rights to publish the game and at least the next sequel. Without that :v: could develop the game but they couldn't distribute it.
-
Your point?
-
Snail was on about how any random yahoo could simply give money to Interplay if they wanted to develop FS3. They can't. Interplay don't own the all the IP most likely. As far as I can tell Volition have to agree to it too. In fact I vaguely remember one of the team saying that there was no way anyone could develop FS3 without their say-so.

Well, the question really is if he could have gotten their say-so...
If he could have, it makes him a legitimate threat (and should be terminated accordingly).

Hey, I got a question. If someone made a campaign and called it a non-canon 'FreeSpace 3' mod? Would people get offended, flame, or just see if the campaign's good and enjoyable?

Go ask the Inferno team.

The mature people will be offended.
The immature people will flame.
The immature people pretending to be mature people will pretend to see it as good and enjoyable.
-
Pretty much every campaign with a post-Capella setting is an unofficial FS3. So you wouldn't be saying anything at all by calling it that.

For the above, read "I will be offended." Personally I can't see what is mature about getting offended by the title of a campaign, I'd see it very self-important but not offensive.
-
Clear example of protagonism, IMO. Not even Inferno is intended to be FS3.

At people saying they're mature:
Were you angry when takashi said he would make FS3?
-
No, because we all knew he would fail. :P
Actually, I wasn't around at that time. :nervous:
-
Were you even there?
-
I actually thought this was a trick, I just clicked it to see what you wanted to tell us so dearly...
Dissapointed.
Were you even there?
Where was it?
-
Heck, the Ancient-Shivan war could be FS3, I mean who's to say that prequels couldn't count as sequels? Granted using Lucas-terms it would be more of a FS0, but still...
Hey I think it should be called that, since FS0 isn't taboo or anything :)
-
Were you even there?
Nope. :lol:
-
Well, there goes my plans... Now I'll need to think of a different name for the campaign that I'm thinking of making after I finish the Ancient-Shivan War...
-
Were you angry when takashi said he would make FS3?
Knowing me,
If I were there, I probably would assume he wouldn't make it and then proceed to not give a ****.
This is the internet. It's best to assume everything is **** until proven otherwise.

If you get angry at a guy from the internet making a campaign I'd suggest you need to sort your life out.

If Derek smart wants an exporable universe game why not just make a Freelancer sequel game? That game was probably more successful than FS2, and it wont **** with the storyline. I would love to see an FS3.. maybe someday in the future when all this doesnt matter anymore...

Both. Also as a means of virtual suicide, and secretly used by correctional institutions for getting addicts off video games.
