Ok i JUST bought a copy of Freespace 1 off Ebay.  I want it to work at a Higher resolution rather than the default (640x480).  Is it possible, or am i wasting my time?
Well what do I do now?  Well Jack, you seem to have an act for blowing things up....

Waste of time.

If you want to run it higher, you need FS2 and the Port.

Nah. FS1 felt sooo much better than FS2, and the port cannot duplicate that. You'll love it. It's worth way more than $10.

What?  I enjoyed FS1 as much as the next man... but seriously, it's almost a decade old.  It looks like ass.

Actually, whats with all the non-SCP users on these forums?  It frankly confuses me that anyone would play retail FS2 under any circumstances (for all the 'looks like ass' reasons for FS1).

I think it's worth $10 just to own it. It's Freespace. How can ya loose?

Not to mention when you consider those who have had to bid beyond $50 for either FS1 or 2.

Read next time, please.

I said it felt better. The atmosphere was better.
A game's age doesn't make it somehow lose it's playability. It doesn't degrade over time.
Freespace 1 does not look like ass, either. Keep your foolish opinions to yourself.

People who want looks over everything are fools, and wind up with games like X2. Everything is so pretty, but the gameplay sucks majorly.


And what makes you think I don't use the SCP? Have I not released several models making use of the SCP's added enhancements?
Have I not made liberal use of HTL and shinemapping? How about the cocpit feature? You think i do this because I think it the SCP is crappy?

Please. Think before you spew.

FS1 has a certain, quality(?), that FS2 and the port can't emulate.  FS1 will always have a special place for me because it was the first one I played.  The disks themselves are good for 2 reasons:  No downloading for 9 hours.  And you can easily back them up.

Backhanded insults are so cowardly.  You don't have the guts to say you think my opinion sucks, so you wishy-wash all around it.  I don't have that problem: FS1 is old.  If you want to offer up concrete ways in which SCP is worse, go ahead.  If all you've got is subjective 'wah wah I like it don't be a meanie', then shut up.

Accuse me of not reading, then claim I said you don't use SCP... and look like an idiot.  Is it fun?  Or are you simply dishonest?  I was specifically referring to NON-SCP USERS, which you admit you're not.  There are, however, many people who ONLY play retail FS2, and SCP is far, far better.  Aside from older computers, I can't think of a reason to ever play retail FS2 again.  Is that clear enough?

Keep your passive-aggressive garbage to yourself.  As it happens, I enjoyed FS1 much more than FS2: I'm simply not going to get all starry-eyed and ignore the low-poly, low-res horror of mid 90s gaming.  But my opinion isn't as important as yours, is it?

So you agree that your opinion sucks? Well, I think the matter has been settled now. :lol:

This is not a signature.
You did not see this.
It was all a dream.
You will not tell anyone about this.

Now go and read this signature again.

So, you actually bothered to scroll down, eh? If you're that bored, you might as well take a look at the links above.

YOUR OPINION BOTH SUCKS AND BLOWS AT THE SAME TIME!

FreeSpace 1 hardly has bad graphics, although they are seeming worse now, after we've seen the awsomeness of FSO.  A game having a certain "feel" is not something that can be properly debated, since everyone's opinion on a game's feel will be different.

I completely agree. Feeling or graphics cannot have a factual value given, so it's based on an opinion. You cannot blame anyone for not being on the same opinion.

You can if said opinion is supported with facts that don't make sense.

Seeing a couple of cruisers going broadside and sh*t loads of blob turrets firing at each (kinda like the battle in Star Wars Ep3) was teh cool.
