Title: Freelancer screenies
Post by: Corsair on May 25, 2002, 08:48:41 pm: All I have to say is...WOW! Those look friggin amazing! I really hope it does come out in 2003 like it said at Lancer Reactors. It seems to me like FL is gonna be kinda like Iwar more than FS the way you don't neccessarily follow the storyline, am I right?

Oh, and Shrike, did you see those at E3?

Sure some games take ages to develop and kick ass as a result. But others... others suck, hopefully this game won't turn out to be one of them. It's amongst the only professional made hopes for the space sim genre.

Post by: Nico on May 26, 2002, 06:26:19 am: I don't worry about tech. It's 3D, it's more easy to keep up with the evolution during the development than, say, a 2D game ( Diablo2, Tiberian Sun suffered from their graphisms when they were released). That said, the planets are still friggin ugly if you ask me.
What I have doubts on is the mouse control. Well, at the begining I was 100% against, and now I'm just sceptical.

Post by: IceFire on May 26, 2002, 09:15:28 am: Yeah...FreeLancer represents the only comerically produced space combat game in existance at the moment. EVE is more of a Diablo in space, although that has its cool points too (and damn it looks GREAT).

I think the move to mouse control will be an interesting one. It will mean that a FreeSpace/X-Wing/Wing Commander game won't be replaced, but it will hopefully bring it a little more mass market appeal (apparently a joystick is too hard to operate?).

I don't think so... For(n)ever won't be that good.... maybe if it were relesed like 3 or 4 years ago

Besides, it's Duke. It will rock.

With lines like that, you cant go wrong....
If it was released 3 or 4 years ago it really would suck, because they only started working on it 3 or 4 years ago. Games released like that blow big steaming chunks....

About that Duke Nukem Forever, it might be good, but will it come? :p
