That's cool.  I didn't even know what was going on.  I saw people posting the names of animals and similarly squeezed the SPAM bottle. :D

"...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

Personally, if [V] made FS3 for the consoles, I'd say "Screw it" and dissalow any knowledge that it was canon, and go with what was made to continue FS2, and NOT bother with it on console. If [V] would be willing to sell out it's fans to the console crowd, then they obviously don't deserve my money.


Not that I'm saying they'd do it, but, if they did.

I was fairly pissed off when I discovered that StarCraft: Ghost was a console-only project.  I was looking forward to another Renegade-like spinoff of a strategy game...

I think there's more chance of Descent 4 than of FreeSpace 3.  Because I'm writing it.
D'you think Interplay would be happy to market Descent 4 if I took a finished product to them?  Because I thought the main reason they weren't doing a D4 is because they'd have to fund the development team while the game was being made, and that wouldn't apply if I did this in my free time (eg. at University).

well, a lot of people will say:

IF IT AIN'T BY :V:, IT AIN'T DESCENT 4, erm, well, it doesn't rime as good with a four instead of a three. you get the idea.

and perhaps, i am completely unsure, but i don't give you that much of a chance.

Yes, I would. I'd rather have a Freespace 3.

That's like asking me if I'd like to play WingCommander: The RPG instead of having Wing Commander: Prophecy 2.

I mean for a console. There's all this talk with "OMG!!!11 They CoULd be MAEkNg FS3!!1 FOr GaY ConSolz!!1 VOliTion is evil!", wouldn't it be a lot better if they made a FPS for FS on a console, rather than *waste* it for our revered FS3?

At least that one will be made in our taste.

Now the opinion about what that is...is not so clear.
Still,...just hang in there.

Actually Interplay was supporting a small company out of Maine (Orbital Design Studios) who was interested in making Descent 4. Due to the development rights to Descent 4 belonging to Volition (as part of Parallax), it didn't go anywhere.

This is grossly simplifying the whole mess though :p
