Meh, I still play Final Fantasy 1 released 1990 and still like it. It even has a fanbase as large as HLP. Age means exactly **** when you are talking about a game. Freespace is unique, and it will probably always be unique unless someone gets a huge friggin' brainfart and comes up with a new superb space combat sim.
 

Couldn´t have said it better myself.

Again, I point out: Half-Life is two years older than FS2, and it's the third best-selling game in the world. Because it's a damn good game.

I dunno, I still check back often to see what is new.  I am not saying the FS is a bad game now.  I'm just saying that it's not getting any younger.  One of these days I will play it again.  I haven't shot down my last shivan yet. :)

Likewise, I haven't stomped my last goomba or koopa shell either :D  ;)

My point is that I consider FS in the same category as these classics.  Descent was in this list before that and I can still see myself playing that.  Except the damn computer is too fast for the old ones now :blah: .  I can only play D3.

Yes, but I wasn't working for them last year. :ha:

Really, as big fan of them who decided to help get it out this summer, they are pretty close to release. The only thing I can see that may hold them up is Voice Acting.

SAVAGE. If they want I can hook them up with those guys myself. I got 90+ excellent lines from one dude in less than two weeks (including rerecordings and editing.)

The original Descent runs way too fast for me (the rate at which your ship "bounces" while floating makes it look like an earthquake :p) but there is a 3dfx version of that which works perfectly. Descent 2 goes at the same speed as D1 on 320x200 but works great on 640x480; in fact, I just finished playing through all the main missions, the addon missions and some of the user-made expansions for this about a week ago.

By the way, on the topic of old games, I just completed Beneath a Steel Sky (without any walkthroughs ;7); it had an excellent story and a good bit of humor but the ending seemed somewhat rushed.

Actually, IIRC, ICe has already talked to them or been refered :)

(to tell the truth, I forgot that we had them for a sec, but I was genearlly reffering to dealing with voices n' **** also. Either way, hopefully we can have it out Late summer/ Fall)

696.

Seriously, if you're that goddamn skeptical, why not get out and do something productive and help out?

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
