Freespace 2 is 5 years old.. Freespace 1 is what? 7? Ph34r.

Well if you consider that Descent: FreeSpace came out in June 1998 then yes...its quite old and probably deserving of the retro game status.

adwight · **Reply #3 on:** July 08, 2003, 10:33:00 pm

It's still one of the greatest games ever...

Galemp · **Reply #4 on:** July 08, 2003, 10:35:57 pm

It really is. If only it had a bigger following.

damn i'm getting old... i was going to quote KT and then say "no, you're wrong, Freespace 1 is 5 years old, FS2 is 3", but then i realized: no, he's right. time's passing too quick

So old it is. But it is still around. That has to mean two things. Either it has a lot of good things going for it, or that there is quite possibly, NOTHING LIKE IT.

Both are true, by the way!

So, it will be around for MUCH longer. I am sure of that.

BTW, NAME A GAME WHICH HAS SO MUCH PEOPLE POSTING IN IT, 5 years after it was released...

I REALLY think you won't find any!

The question is, will we still be here in another 5 years?

I know I will be, as I'll still be building my Fenris.

GT-Keravnos · **Reply #8 on:** July 09, 2003, 02:46:58 am

Another interesting idea (TM) that crossed my mind as I was reading this tread, was, well, the simple, unescapable, unavoidable fact that ALL of us are getting older. Not like OLD, old, but older still.

Fs2 is a collection of 1and0s. It DOESN'T get older or newer. It exists or not (in your hard-drive, at least

)

It is us who are getting older. That is NOT a bad thing. THAT is life.

Maybe we should all scratch "old" as a bad word. Makes sense really... Hey I got me a new sig...

Knight Templar · **Reply #9 on:** July 09, 2003, 02:53:35 am

I'll be here... at least untill I get a real job.

Petrarch of the VBB · **Reply #10 on:** July 09, 2003, 02:57:23 am

Well indeed.
I'm not likely to leave until TAP and TVWP are finished...

I could be here until I'm on my deathbed, in that case.

Hunter · **Reply #11 on:** July 09, 2003, 03:51:14 am

Ohh the age is getting to me

prolly not, that'd be around DNF's Release..

Gloriano · **Reply #13 on:** July 09, 2003, 03:59:42 am

i am here until end of world

Hunter · **Reply #14 on:** July 09, 2003, 04:01:26 am

And that will be in 300 years... If my vision the other night was correct... And Im serious too, I did have one.

TopAce · **Reply #15 on:** July 09, 2003, 05:47:35 am

Considering to its age, it is still having good graphics relatively to today's demands. Of course we cannot expect it can beat Doom 3 in the field of visuals, but our old 'veteran' game is still a place in our heart.

Otherwise this fact made me reconsider doing my own campaign:
'Will I be ready before FS2 sinks?' Appears yes, this forum is quite stable and our modders are still active.

TrashMan · **Reply #16 on:** July 09, 2003, 08:32:04 am

I'm getting to old for this....

*gets a heart-attack....he has to have another bypass*

too...old...arhgggggggggggg...

YEAH RIGHT!:D

Solatar · **Reply #17 on:** July 09, 2003, 10:19:54 am

Well, I'm only 14 and I have no life, so I'll be here until I actually get one (or learn what to do with my current one)

Besides, I gotta make sure the TVWP makes it through.

u know u could RENT a life.....
i do it all the time

tho freespace is old its still is one of the best (old) games around........
i still think the graphics are stunning.....
and with all the modders and the source code project on who knows were Fs2 could go....

GT-Keravnos · **Reply #19 on:** July 09, 2003, 11:09:43 am

Another thing that needs to be said is...

When I joined up with HLP we were something like 900+ Now there are 1200 people. Granted that a lot don't post as much...

They download Fs2, play some, then off to FPS land. But those who stay remain committed. There ARE new guys coming in making contributions.

We are getting to be a hunter-gatherer society, we all work on something, we all appreciate the results of someone else's work.

ANd now my new sig...
