mwahahahahaha

I'd hate to see an FS3, for obvious reasons (it can only be worse, compared to some of the things on HLP).

Sorry, couldn't resist.




I'm quite supprised no one has posted it yet!

Actually, I kinda agree with you on that one.

[Flipside]

If nothing else it might change the scope of what the SCP are capable of doing, not sure where the legalities lie. The next step will probably be asset stripping unless theres a last second bail-out. It will mainly depend on whether the license is considered 'saleable' or not

Dammit, Hotsnoj beat me to it.

There will NEVER be FS3. Not an official one anyway...

[Rictor]

why do you say that? years passed between the original Prince of Perisia and the new one. Same thing for Fallout (if thats still in production). Same thing for Doom and of other games. Never say never.

[WMCoolmon]

I want to know what happened to my last post in this thread. Using admin powers to make a (bad) joke with poll options is one thing...using them to cover up the evidence of that joke is just immature.

Anyway, I don't think there will be a FS3. In a way, I think it would be worse if there was one because we've got such great campaigns and mods and everything around here that it'd be a shame for it all be ignored in favor of FS3. 'Course...there's also the stuff I've done.

But at this point, unless it's Volition that picks it up, I doubt we'll see a Freespace 3 that truly is a Freespace 3. Maybe a Freespace 3 that tries to capitalize on the Freespace's name's popularity (Like Freespace), but I doubt it...

and i guarantee you, people all over the world have heard of those game titles  ... that's why sequels were made of them

Maybe a Freespace 3 that tries to capitalize on the Freespace's name's popularity

but Freespace's name doesn't have popularity... and remember Freespace tried cashing in on the popularity of "Descent" in the first place (i.e. why it was called Descent: Freespace, while it had absolutely nothing to do with Descent, other than myabe the concept of a HUD )

we DONT need the companies to make FS3. With the talent and people we got in this community, all we need is the FS3 story and voila! within a few months you'll have a version that is so kick-ass, it'll put I-war2 to shame.

But that's only IF we get the story........dangit........

[übermetroid]

Thats why we have to track down the writers, and tie them up until they say whats happening next...

Although we'll never be able to agree upon an actual FS3 plot, as a whole. So that aspect of FS3 will be left to individual campaigns, most likely.

Well, it has us, and Freespace 2 is widely regarded by those who know of it as one of the most , err, should-be-popular-but-isn't games. It'd mae it sound like it was cool enough to have two precursor titles too, and what else would you do with a game that you had the rights to? Make a sequel with none of the original dev team?

Microsoft tried that with Mechwarrior, and alienated much of the Battletech community.

actually, i'm surprised that hasn't gone the way of the welcome beam with so many people posting it when fs3 is so much as hinted at..

but yeah, this may be a pipe dream, but i at least hope volition get their hands on the rights, hell, even if thq got their hands on it, it wouldn't be so bad, as long as they make a PC version first..
or at least somebody closely tied into the freespace games..

as for lucas, i could just forsee what it would look like... rogue squadron, 'cept with shivans.

but yeah, it'd be cool if V employees started coming here, interested in the SCP, and gave us storyline details for what fs3 could've been..

Yes, of course, the origiinal Prince of Persia was at it's time *the best selling computer game ever*, so that might have mattered a bit.

The more I think about it, the less I think I like that comic. I mean, I totally empathise with the humour, but is that who we are? People who shoot newbies who ask legitimate questions? (And yes, I count them legitimate. I know I would be surprised if I asked if there would be a FS3 in all honesty and good faith that I would receive a decent answer, and got shot down in return.)

yeah, i know, but the comic was really made in jest, really..  it's more like "smite the stupid newbies who still try to converse in leetspeak"

but yeah, i still like to hope that there will be a faithful end to the freepsace series, even if it's called by a different name, but is more or less the spiritual successor to Fs2.

will there be a fs3?.. i don't think so, but will there be an official end to freespace?.. i'd like to hope so.

[Setekh]

Like I said, I appreciate the humour it was constructed under. But I don't think everyone else quite has the same idea in mind, especially the way it's used these days.

indeed, ahwell. it's not like we're literally shooting them down..

as for the FS3 question?.. some say no, others say yes, the rest of us just don't know..
i'd like to see how the guys at volition feel about all of this, since they made the first two.
(any way we can get a couple of them over here to make a comment or two?)
it's like the big question, will Fallout 3 rise from the ashes of black isle studios?. we don't know..

I would agree if that comic was all newbies ever saw. But usually I get in there first and post the entry I made about in in my FAQ which explains why FS3 questions are generally looked down on by the community.

If I don't get there first generally someone paraphrases what I say anyway.

In that context the cartoon shows our attitude to people who continue to ask after having been told why people don't like the question.
