Feel free to take your pick as to which is correct but he sounded sure enough to me that I believe him :)

I agree Sol: A History is an excellent campaign, but... :doubt:

Joking aside, would it be possible to have a moderated thread that would be about nothing else than the facts? There's not much to know right now, but it would be nice to have somewhere to find the latest FS3/licence news without wading through ****loads of speculations, suggestions and opinions.

We should really hunt down Mike Breault and Jason Scott and ask them about FS3.

They did write the story for FS2 you know...

Another fact: we won't ever get enough money to buy the license.

I've got my fingers crossed for this one - they're probably the most experienced devs in this field it could go to...

On the story front...I'm told that there is a "book" that has a general outline of where the story was supposed to go.  FreeSpace, the sequel, and beyond.  So while there is no specific story past FS2 that has been laid out that we know about...there is a generalized one that exists and has from the start apparently.

Cool! :)

Well, I can't resist taking my own shot in the dark, and I must admit, I always thought the 'bigger problem' that the Shivans were a symptom of was......Freespace ;)

And believe Icefire when he says stuff like this. :nod:

Didn't you do stuff for V and know most of them too.

I think I read where you were asking a whole bunch of questions about Freespace 1, before it came out ;)

in regard to facts 1 and 2, we havn't heard anything, and would not especaly if anything was going on becase profesional developers arn't stupid enough to talk about this stuff before the deal is done.

A late reply to this thread, but just my 2 sense :wtf:

I would be sooo opposed to Totally Games doing Freespace, or even another XWing game for that matter.  

Yeah the single player games they make usually rock, and that's what drives us to play Freespace still, but their multiplayer coding skills are just about the industry's worst.    Freespace 1/2's lag is nothing compared to the lagfests of XvT, XWA and Bridge Commander.  And that's just on a good LAN, never mind online.

Now I know Freespace is built on its single player aspects mostly, but I would love to see a roboast multiplayer game included with it.  Now I don't know what Derek Smart's multiplayer part of his games are like, but I bet you all its a whole heck of a lot better.

I know this reply was not really relevant to the topic per say, but I just felt compelled to say that TG would be bad for FS.  (unless they've hired better network coders recently)

I always felt that the Network play on the Xwing games in particular was tagged on as a last minute thing because, when XvT came out, networked computers were rare, but on a sharp rise.

I still think we're becoming a little bit too picky right now. that we don't want Derek, ok. But it's not like we have a lot of other options. Hell, we have no options unless we actually do something.
