Well? Any ideias?  

I think they won't release the source code for one reason:

They don't have plans for fs3...   in the present! That doesn't means that in the  future   there won't an fs3!

OR

Volition is planning to do another game with the freespace engine. Now that's something that will make me have an heart attack... And i'm 15!!!!!!  

Tell me your thoughts! (I want my games raven2001   )

[Shrike]

No actually it's because Interplay hasn't given them legal permission to do so.  No more, no less.

Actually it's not quite that simple. A company called Hyperion are currently porting Freespace 1 to AmigaOS (and possibly Linux). No doubt they made sure that Interplay weren`t going to release the source code for either game or it would kill their market.

[Neon]

Well, the the question changes to:

Why the hell interplay doesn't gives permission to volition so they can release Freespace Source Code?

[Neon]

Ups, we posted almost at the same time karajoma   . By the way, welcome to hlp   . Thanks for the info.  

But the question remains... so... post your opinion!

they hate us.

Oh! It's Vasco! I though you were dead, since you say no word to anybody and have been acting like a baby since the vacations started..... and don't kid everybody, your only 14   0wnt!!!

The answer to your Q is simple... your dad is politician, so you problably heard of burocracy? well, in Portuguese I call it Burrocracria(in english it means something like DUMBocracy  ). Well, Interplay is full of burocracy, so they are allways saying and advancing things that they will never do... same happens with the source code.... its stupid I know...

[Neon]

Carl, you got a point. They just want more money...

Kinda like Tomb Raider or Pokemon... from a cool game, to a marketing opportunity!

[Neon]

And you Raven... Bring my games at around... 9:00 PM  

I still want them!!!!!!  

or else

 

 

[Setekh]

Seriously, I don't know why Interplay didn't just let us have it. What is the point?

[karajorma]

1) They are still making money off of it (hyperions port)

2) They are probably under a legal contract to not release it until hyperion have had a chance to make some money off of it.

[Neon]

I Agree

[Vertigo1]

3) They figure, if they can't make money off of it then why should someone else? *gasp* They'd actually have to compete!

Oh... I'm soo scared!!!  

No, really... Fallout is in Porto being burned by Rui, disk two broke on the trip... don't worry, because IF you would already gave me the E-mail of you dealer, I would already have a fresh copy of FOT for you, but because of your childish beahvior lately, I don't have it, so, no copy yet.... I'll give you RA2 when school begins(oh, man they're coming....)

Back to your Q: I can only get one thing out of this... Interplay sucks... but maybe with this fancy thing with Titus, we MAY be able to see a FS3 after all.... let's wait and see....  

Hey Setekh, I sent you a message over ICQ, you could at least reply to it......

Actually releasing the source code would make some money for interplay. The data itself wouldn`t be released just the code for the .exe meaning that you`d still have to buy a copy to play the game (unless you stuck to user created campaigns)

I dont get it either the Fs2 engine is severly outdated

but its probablly

On Linux and AmigaOS it isn`t.
