FS3 is already made.  It's free and is downloadable from this site.  In fact, it has multiple storylines.

We already have what we want.

[Inquisitor]

That's the nicest thing I have read on this site, in a long time, possibly ever.

I once hugged a bunny so much, that care-bears came down from the sky and we had a picnic <3 <3 <3


Does that beat it?


*Reply Justification ;D)
I always think of Derelict as the next chapter in FreeSpace, then the Sync-Transcend duet (Even if command never hears about it ) then your choice of either Inferno/Blue Planet style Solgate stuff..

[redsniper]

BWO is the only Sol gate for me...

[Colonol Dekker]

I haven't seen Machine Terra yet. Maybe my great grandkids will tell me about it in the fields of Elysium circa 2110

[Androgeos Exeunt]

What if (the hypothetical) FS3 will have Vasudan pole dancers?

 

NO NO NO NO, NO NO NO!

I'm thinking along those lines too. Just think about it: even without Volition and Interplay doing something about FreeSpace for the past six years, there has been a community that makes improvements and new stuff without any assistance from either company - us. It's almost as if the FreeSpace community is self-sufficient.

[Bobboau]

almost? jeeze were like frikn zombie coder/artists, we just don't ****'n die.

as for FS3, after thinking about it for the last 10 years or so, I realy don't think I want one, why? because FS was a failure, which means most people didn't like it, which means to be financially viable it would have to be not freespace.

and as for V, as has been mentioned V is not V anymore, I have no faith in them anymore, they probly know what FS3 should be, but I doubt the V of today would be able to pull it off.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

In that case, let's just continue staying true to FS2 then.

   Gag.
   Derelict and Blue Planet, with seemingly organic Shivan Lucifers that regenerate? They're Shivans, not Shadows.
   Sync and Transcend? Who's storylines are about as FAR from FS2 as you can get? Yeah, people enjoy them, but Freespace? Don't think so. I believe Ransom even maintains that they're an alternate universe.

 
   The best post-capella campaign I've played that's captured the feel of the actual games is Procryon Insurgency, bar none.

Spoiler:

The whole ancients not dead thing was a little questionable however.

 
    That's not to say that other campaigns aren't FUN and worth playing over and over but, as stories or campaigns which fit into Freespace? Not so much imo. Even my own campaign, what there is of it is a pile of crap, pirates out the ying yang. Bunch of irrelevant pilot chatter. Not at all like the proper games.

    If you pick up FS1 and play it, then play FS2 you can be like "wow, these are Freespace." But pick up most 3rd party campaigns, and it's like "wow, that was fun, but . . . very very different from Freespace".

Plz, use spoilers for those of us who just started playing it.

        Oh, sorry, my bad.  (<-spoiler police do me in) That honestly doesn't spoil too much though. Well, it spoils a lot, but there's a lot more interesting stuff going on in that campaign than simply that. That's why its good. Though freaking hard.

Wasn't the reason FS totally died off the fact that Interplay did a really bad job of advertising the FS Universe to the public?

[karajorma]

One of the reasons at the very least. FS1 sold quite well.

[Colonol Dekker]

I didn't actually hear about FS2 til i passed it in a shop and did a /  combination.
Best thirty quid i've spent on legal goods

[Mongoose]

I was on the verge of paying an arm and a leg for it on eBay before Interplay decided to re-issue it for their 20th anniversary.  I think I had already played through the demo missions some 7 or 8 times by that point.  That nebula is completely disorienting the first time around.

[Titan]

did you see what people were asking for on the interplay site?

they want FS3 to have FPS and capship control... GAG

the RTS would be ok in a spinoff, but FPS.... 



TANGENT: BTW, i always imagined FS weps basically being modern weps with submunitions and more ammo. Hallfight didn't really phase me...

[Silent Warrior]

Heeeeey! I have an idea: Interplay can release a FreeSpace 20xx: Resurrection! No immediate FS3-claim, so we can all still have our own ideas about what a FS3 should (have) be/been like.

Oh no, Fallout Tactics should've teachen us strategic spin-offs are... well, utter crap. I have faith however into the FreeSpace RTS project, when Nuke hauls his ass back into it.

As I recall, they were pushing a Starfleet Command game or something like that at the same time FS2 was released, and it wasn't a "really bad job advertising it" so much as a "really GOOD job NOT advertising it", because they were advertising the Star Trek game like crazy.  I had no interest at all in that title and I knew tons of details about thanks to their marketing team.  Freespace 2 on the other hand I only knew had been released because I stumbled on a review of it maybe 6 months to a year later.

Damn, it's so true!
