Post by: bcKq on April 19, 2013, 05:26:22 pm
I don't know if that was anywhere on the forum already, but it's still pretty funny.

followed by
Code: [Select]
return (has_hell_frozen_Over() && !Is_PC_Gaming_Dead())?

It's weird.
Because
Code: [Select]
return has_hell_frozen_Over();Should return false (no)
but
Code: [Select]
return !Is_PC_Gaming_Dead();returns true, yes. Because it's like "Is PC Gamind NOT Dead?" and the answer is Yes, it's not dead. Hmmm... we have 2 answers from volition :O

Well, at least one condition has been fulfilled: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=84405.0 :)
We might have to wait a while for the latter one though, seeing how many indie games popped up lately.
EDIT:

Well, I guess we can expect FS3 anytime now. :)

but... the trademark issue going on with the freespace trademark, interplay and this other company. not sure if that has been resolved yet.

Unless they add the "Descent" title to the name like they did with the first one.

Hmmm yeah, didn't hear a word from that "Stompy Bot Productions" or whatever it's called either. I just hope it will be a positive word, if there will be any.

I was playing FreeSpace 2 for so many years... observing that forum for, I know, like 2 or 3 years but I created account today, lol.

And I suspect that if they get the trademark it will get worse. Someone on this forum watched their heavy gear trailer and called it a confidence trick.
:shifty:

now on topic

Probably Saints Row 4... but generally after they announce the game, secret project "whatever" changes to it...
...and they've announced 4

That simply means that they suspect PC gaming will have died before hell freezes over. So they have to check both. :)

Pretty sure that's either an Emperor or a Phoenix Rising. I dunno for the cockpit, but it could be anything among the released cockpited fighters.

I like how the video shows a cutscene when the narrator says "Fleshed out with top-notch gameplay..."

some mod footage in the FS section
There was something with a cockpit, but the only thing I could identify was a blatant MediaVPs shockwave.

There was also a section with a much "looser" HUD, implying higher resolution.

Yes.

But to be fair, they are quite annoying.

thats a 2009 video and i think it means  :v-old: asking for permission to THQ to make FS3, and it returns true only if the hell has frozen and pc gaming is not dead...

Thats not suprise to me, :v-old: always wanted to do FS3...

Errrr, no. :v: making FS references in promo materials is a looooong tradition. There's a reference in some of the RF: Guerrilla videos, IIRC (The ones with the Ostrich Hammer).

In the beginning of the video, watch the whiteboard behind one of the people closely (Especially the area behind his head).

And there's a "Free'd Space" achievement in Guerilla for killing a number of flyers, random NPC chatter along the lines of "I wonder what happened to Bosch" in the same game, a city called "Bastion"......
