Re: FS2 "Kicked off its podium"?
Freespace2 , Freelancer and Homeworld2 fused together into a game with good graphics ... Yeah ... Looks nice , but I will not be able to run it on my PC ...

Re: FS2 "Kicked off its podium"?
Its interface in space is very much a ripoff of FS1/2. Overal it seems to be a cross between EVE and FS, but looks alone dont make the game, as you need a story and immersion to be worth two ****s. We'll see.
Hard to say some of that I think...FS1/2 is a rip off of Wing Commander or X-Wing or TIE Fighter.   And all of those are a rip off of Elite...probably something before that.  Its a good interface...no need to reinvent the wheel :)

Well it certainly looks to be better then X3 , in any case. Definately worth a look i say.

Re: FS2 "Kicked off its podium"?
Hey, I wonder - Would it be possible to somehow implement the Freelancer transitions in FreeSpace 2?

What I mean is, when you go from open space into an asteroid field or a debris field or a mine field (!!) or a gas cloud/nebula, your surroundings change very smoothly and it's really really cool :)

Hard to describe if you've never played Freelancer... :(

Re: FS2 "Kicked off its podium"?
It might be possible . Though I dunno about it .

What would be even better is to make a mod for Freelancer and turn it into Freespace . I heard of one mod like this , but didn't see any progress since 2004/2005 .

That would.......RULE.

The Only way it can be better than Fs2 is if=

1#.It has a kick ass map editor.

2#.It has to have a English Version. :D

3#.It has to have UBER good graphics.(again  :D)

4#.It has to be fun and be able to work on XP.

To me, that's the main thing and the only thing that matters (except for graphix... :D)

Re: FS2 "Kicked off its podium"?
The "Cutscene" looking shots also look alot like the art in Homeworld and Homeworld 2, the story also have similarities. And while Homeworld's story was compelling and fleshier at the time, this seems more like another "Just another exile story." I always thought the power of Freespace and Freespace 2 was very much in the story, not just the high octane battles and mission surprises. That is however, very important!

It's okay. the fact the game is only in russian makes it unplayable, and there's some other things i don't like about it.
