I can't believe it hasn't been posted here already, but I didn't see a topic about it, so maybe not...  Here's the story on slashdot, which links to many VolitionWatch areas, and mentions the icculus port, but not the SCP :(

Since my two-year-old mangled my fs2 cd box and the cds themselves are getting a little scratchy (this is my six-year-old's doing - he plays it a lot), I'd consider getting this "special edition."  Although $49.95 seems a little steep, this is as important a "collectors edition" to me as an autographed baseball is to people who care about such things... Maybe I can get DaveB to sign it...

I wonder - are Dave and company gonna get something out of the deal?  They're the ones that deserve it...

edit
Here's the pre-order link to the Interplay Store to pre-order it.

*weeps*

Shipping to Canada is $30 (60% of the game).

Unless someone in the US is willing to buy a copy for me (and me paying for UPS shipping to me), I won't be getting this.

Only downside is that they paste a 20th aniversary sticker on it to justify selling a game from 98 for top dollar. Regardless, im getting it :nod:

Seconded. This looks like a definite prelude to a.. err... what he said.

I'll be finding some way to get ahold of this. $50 well spent. :P

While I for one, would like to see another FS game, I don't think I trust interplay to develop it........ Their in-house teams don't really do the greatest games.

 If we where going to see another game, I hope interplay tries to get Volition do do it for them again.

Regardless the course any kind of descendant would take we should make sure the progress and experience of SCP is passed onto the developers whoever they are.

Can't be done.

A) [V] said no profit could be made off of it.

B) A new law passed says that ANY program with even a SINGLE line of open-source code in it MAKES it open-source.
