The authors'.

So, Mr. Ace, can you guys still edit content on the Volition Watch website? A big, fat link to HLP, or at least a more recent news article saying you're closing and directing to us would be nice.

IceFire or Orange are the people to ask. I didn't do much on the admin side myself, and I don't know what the current status of the site is to be honest.

i wish someone would pick up the damned game and make fs3. Sorta how xenogears got screwed over but xenosaga managed to salvage the series and sorta continue it....though different story, there were enough references in the game to A. legally not get them screwed over, and B. enough to still give you the xenogears feeling...sorta...they coulda done a way better job but can't complain
so ya...even if it wasn't f2 quality, its better then nothing....assuming its not total crap!

[karajorma]

If it isn't made by it's no more FS3 than any of the campaigns hosted here.

Might as well make a completely new game staying true to the elements that made FS great instead.

There's one problem I can see with someone doing FS3.  They'll do it, and it'll come out and it won't look nearly as good as the SCP does.  I mean let's face it, the SCP sets a standard basically and if they can''t surpass what the current fans see on an everyday basis then they don't have a lot of new hope  for selling to enough people to make it profitable.  I mean it's like "pfft I was looking at that kind of stuff last year, what else ya got?" What I think is that the SCP set the bar so high is that any cost of making a FS3 with what the fanbase expects as a minimum graphics wise might outweigh the revenue it would create.  However I haven't seen anything really since X2 or X3 that is even a decent space sim play and those have a ton of bugs that almost make them unplayable.  So there is a market there however.

I don't think it really matters how it would compare to SCP.
To make it a success story, they would need to sell it to loads of people never heard about SCP (or even FS2) before.

don't make me get the comic out again

Let's face it, even if FS3 does get made, by anyone, it will never ever live up to our expectations, how could it? We all have our own idea of how it would look and play, and it would be impossible for it to live up to everyone here's expectations.

The recent increase in interest in the game is as much because of people looking back to the good old days when computer games were original (though there are those that would argue that FS2 was simply the top of a Pyramid based on X-Wing, Wing Commander etc). Maybe that will spark a flame, maybe it won't, but even if it does, the story cannot fulfill everyone's dreams for the finale of the Freespace saga.

I don't think anyone can say. We could be surprised.

My FS3 would rock. Anyone who disagrees will be banned.

hi,
i mean, all games with more parts as one have this problem, if primarily the time between the parts are really great (more as 2 years).
but i think to say: a new part can never reach our expectations its wrong.

yes, its probably not this story / or exactly that story /game what we dream, but how i say, that problem have all game-series.
if the story and the quality of the game are good, i see there no real problems for the most players to accept this new story and game.

so i mean, the main problem is the quality of the story and the game for a officell FS3, not a FS3 itself.

Jebala mater.

I wold be happy even if it came out of Pletcher's ass. At least it'd came from official sources and we could put the damn thing to rest.

[Fearless Leader]

Off current  subject- Its my first time back here since joining the army, why does all the cool stuf happen while Im gone?


Will the topic of FS3 never end? If it would put an end to it Ill make one from jolly ranchers... and broken CDs

[Blue Lion]

Bah, I still remember the "There will not be an FS3" thread from the VBB, and even then it was overdone. So no, this will go on until we all die or FS3 is made.

Death can't stop it. Our children will carry it on.
