Well, LOAF is well-known for his anti-FS bias...

[Nico]

yeah, I guess he was one of those who trashed a copy of FS?
About that mouse thinguy, a last word: I can picture really good ways to have this as a cool feature, for exemple if you have something like Descent controls, adapted for free space of course ( her... there's NO pun here ).
To be honest I do't care if I can resize the windows ingame ( could be done in the options, would have been enough, no? ), but I hope I will be able to remap the keys this time
I use my mouse with my left hand, and the usual WC keys are hell for me...

Freespace's backgrounds WERE ugly. In fact, compared to modern sims, MOST of the game was- having come from FS2 and I-War, the textures were shockingly bad. Can't really argue, there.

This game looks interestings.

And with the controls, it's just like the Counterstrike/R6 controls when they were first introduced... they were controversial.

that's true, and that's funny coz the textures provided with FS1 are much higher res than the FS2 ones.
Oh well at least that allows us to have some really cool maps with the high res reg tweak...

the thing is, FS was a ton better than WCP in graphics... but the guy seems to think WCP is better O_o. Methinks it's a "I don't like the look of these ships so I'm sayin' it's ugly" mentality, rather than the "I am smart and can see the difference between high and low res textures and medium-poly and BLOCKFIGURE capships".

to demonstrate my point:

[Nico]

ah, come on, you've picked up an extreme case with this ship. You can be glad there's no pro-WCP guy to post a pic of the argo . WCP is more beautiful than FS1, I've played both through at least twice, and that's pretty obvious.

[Shrike]

The..... Argo?  I don't remember any ship by that name in WCP or Secret Ops.

[Styxx]

He probably means the FS2 Argo. Strangely enough, I really like it.

yes, I mean the FS2 argo.
well, I like it too, but still it's just a box with a few extrusions. can do that mesh in 5 minutes.
What I mean is it's stupid to pick up a ship and say "look, it's ugly, the game is ugly" coz they can do the same. WCP shields, shockwaves looked better. Backgrounds are much better. graphically, WCP is about on pair with FS2.

Wha..? No way. WCP is on par with Freespace, it doesn't come close to Freespace 2. The only thing that was really better on Prophecy were the backgrounds, and those were easily offset by those crappy shockwaves (which ended abruptly). Freespace 2 is on a completely different level.

The ship textures were / still are **** hot, though.  FS1 is an ugly game by modern standards, obviously, but I was really impressed when I first saw it about 3/4 years ago.

FS2's backgrounds are fantastic, IMO, though. I (albeit marginally) prefer 'em over I-War 2's still.
