How about V used the fso engine with maybe a few modifcations (later released back to the community)

that would be a cheap way for them to create the game

Unless it comes with FRED3, no.

And it won't come with FRED3.

Ransom · **Reply #42 on:** March 09, 2009, 08:56:28 am

Initially that's exactly how I felt, but now I think I wouldn't mind either way. If it came with a FRED3, we get a new engine to mess around with. If it didn't, this community would probably continue under its own steam.

What I'm more concerned about is whether Volition is even still capable of making a game that would do this series justice. I'm sure the company has changed a lot since 1999, and I would love a good continuation to this story, but while I'd love to be proved wrong nothing about their recent work indicates they can still handle the fairly solemn kind of story that Freespace demands. I'd also be worried that they would just reboot the franchise like they seem to be doing with the new Red Faction.

That aside, my answer's a cautious yes. I can't pretend I wouldn't be hopeful. But I'm not going to get invested in this until I hear an official announcement.

... and that's a very good thing.

I don't think its possible that V would continue FS. They're more likely to start a completely new series.

If it's possible to create a FreeSpace 3 Port to FS2 project, then yes...FS3 would be nice...

If Volition do make FS3 it won't be the same guys who made the first two so really who cares anymore?

Why would you say that? I did a quick scan of the dozens of people who work at Volition and many of the same people (including some of the key folks) are still working there. Adam Pletcher, Dave Baranec and Jason Scott are just a few that spring to mind. The Volition crew is a pretty tightly nit bunch and it seems like many of them have stuck there for a good long while.

You have to be careful assuming stuff like that with Ephili sometimes...

Quite a few of the smaller and quality-over-quantity studios still have a core team of guys that have worked together for a decade or more.

, for example, still keeps most of their "oldbies". I think the major things we'd have to hope for, if it comes in 1 year or in 10 years, is that they have the same writer and the same artistic directors.

Once there was a company called interplay that vanished into the night with kappa wing. Some say that a lot more than kappa wing vanished that day.

We held onto our butts that day that interplay left and have survived dutifully with the scp and mvp.

THEN ONE DAY!!!

Derek smart came along one day and proposed an awesome idea for a future fs game full of...

...lady shaver using thong wearing hairy bastards...

...rampant sex of colossal size and proportions...

...with in-game advertising...

...which would have been this.

The hlpbb gave this to derek smart.

And now the tale continues with news straight from V just to gather hits for their website.

Yes it's the colossus's down time. You all deserve it for a rather mediocre thing V pulled just to troll to get hits on their website.

EDIT: Guess which picture you think has not been gimped?

TBH I had assumed people would have moved on after 10 years (either to other companies or up the ladder, so to speak).
What where you doing 10 years ago ? I assume higher education, but obviously you've moved on since then.

Snail · **Reply #57 on:** March 10, 2009, 04:10:03 pm

Even if

makes FS3 it won't be what I want it to be.

It's like Episode III of Star Wars. Sure, the movie was good. But it just didn't have it.

Thing is...I think they have it pretty good there at Volition. I'm undoubtedly sure that the hours are long (judging by the pool table and numerous pizza boxes I saw stacked up

) but I think the people there are quite satisfied. Geographically there aren't many game developers nearby either so I'm sure thats a secondary factor as well.

Ten years ago...mmm I was still in high school. Seems like an eternity
