Do you want [V] to make FS3?
...SOOOOOOOOOOO... now that there's a possible serious chance of a FS3 (at least once RF:G is out)... What do you think?

I'm thinking yes. No matter what. And then we have split continuity for all existing campaigns.
Sig nuked! New one coming soon!

If they screw it up, I will be pissed. But they won't, since they're :v:. FAITH.

Is there? Link to source?

And I'd like to see an FS3, for PC.

Re: Do you want [V] to make FS3?
As I mentioned in the other thread, the possibility of Freespace 3 brings up mixed feelings in me. If the lifeblood of a game's playerbase is the ability to alter and mold the game to new and different forms, then my biggest concern is that V will kill a new Freespace game's ability to be modified or altered.

That and if they make it a console exclusive I will manifest my vengenace onto a dinner plate, freeze it, and then beat V's development team to death with it.

Boystrous 19 year old temp at work slapped me in the face with an envelope and laughed it off as playful. So I shoved him over a desk and laughed it off as playful. It's on camera so I can plead reasonable force.  Temp is now passive.

Re: Do you want [V] to make FS3?
It would be a console-first game with a PC port. The realities of the business these days almost ensure that.

The realities of the business also almost certainly preclude it from ever happening at all. But who knows? We can hope.

I'd play a (quality) 360 FS3 if it wasn't horribly consolized and if they continued the story. My concern is that they wouldn't want to jump in right after FS2, knowing that most of the console base hasn't played the previous entries.

Only if it's Snufflepaugus.

EDIT: Srsly, it'd be cool if they could make one that's as good as 1 and 2. By that I mean the storyline is coherent and flowing with the previous two, gameplay is just as fun, etc. But otherwise, they shouldn't bother.

Re: Do you want [V] to make FS3?
But is there any serious mention of this anywhere else? Any press release concerning ongoing development from either V or THQ? All I'm seeing is the short news story that sparked this discussion, but nothing else. I'm guessing this is more a misunderstanding on the part of the original author than any real project...

Re: Do you want [V] to make FS3?
I'm going to go on record here and just flat out say that I'm certain that the author of that article made a mistake. If [V] were working on FS3, we'd know about it. There's no more hope now than there was a month ago, or six months or whatever.

I could be wrong, of course, but I don't think I am.

I've done some searching, and I've come across 2+ articles that say the same thing as the one in the other thread. Red Herring? Maybe, but for now we will just have to wait...

I've done some searching, and I've come across 5+ articles that say the same thing as the one in the other thread. Red Herring? Maybe, but for now we will just have to wait...
Could you point me to those?

It's interesting how there are other articles that say different.

Re: Do you want [V] to make FS3?
All of those seem to be remixes of the original article. No mention of FreeSpace here, move along.

Quote from: Leigh Alexander
The studio is also responsible for the FreeSpace and Summoner series, as well as comic book license The Punisher.

The article does not say if they're working on a sequel or not.

Quote from: David Stellmack
Currently, Volition is working on the sequel to Red Faction called Red Faction: Guerrilla as well as the FreeSpace and Summoner franchises. The company also is working on the development of a game-based The Punisher comic book series.

Who to trust?

The article claims they're working on a Punisher game, but the only evidence I can find for a new Punisher game is a Playstation Network title being made by some mob called "Zen Studios".

IMO, the story about the QA department was thrown out to the reporter, who knew [V] from Saints Row and not much else. He then got to three paragraphs without hitting his target length, so he jumped on google or Wikipedia for some background and chucked it into the story. Hell, the basic premise of the article is misleading, if not downright inaccurate. So please, don't get your hopes up too high for the moment. If FS3 was in the works, or even a realistic possibility, we'd know. Certainly we'd know before some random reporter at Fudzilla (whoever they are) "broke" the news as a fourth paragraph side note. Even if the games news websites found out before we did, it'd still be worth a story all of its own, more than the effective footnote it was given in this article.

Not my fault I spend an hour a day on that weird little bed with the guy that takes notes. (Seriously, I do. I hate it.)

And according to the article from the Volition website, it mentions they're keeping the testers, to work on RFg, and several unnamed projects  :drevil:

Re: Do you want [V] to make FS3?
Which is industry-speak for "We have some concepts we're working on, but we won't tell you about them until we know we can deliver something worth your while". A continuation of FS is less likely than, say, Summoner 3. And, please remember, that neither THQ nor [V] own the FS-Franchise at this point.

We don't know that for sure. In fact I remember some Interplay employee saying that they did't in fact have the rights.
