April Fools by Volition
Thought this was pretty great. It's worth looking at the white-board as well.

I saw a Freespace poster in the backround and "FS3 Release date" on the whiteboard. :D

Best April Fool's ever

Re: April Fools by Volition
I actually saw more Freespace references than any other :v: game (Other than Red Faction of course). As well as the boxed set and the whiteboard comment there was a poster in the office.

There was the game box on the guy's desk at the end.
Decent poster was next to other Freesppace poster.

Re: April Fools by Volition
Could all those references mean something? Perhaps I should scrutinize this video further...

Nah. Just shows they haven't forgotten about FS. :yes:

I honestly hope the Ostrich hammer ends up in-game. The sound effect it makes is amazing.

I thought they gave up on Red Faction and were just cranking out Xbox games?

The Ostrich hammer will be available as a Multiplayer unlockable when the game ships in June! This isn't all though, because over the next few weeks, we're going to have a ton of new information here about multiplayer including more hammer unlocks, new modes, the amount of changes we made based on your feedback during the MP beta (A LOT), and a few other MP surprises. So stay tuned and keep checking back for more or we'll have to ostrichcize you!

Fantastic.

And the only thing I'm disappointed with is the $90 USD price tag.

Heh, http://blog.wired.com/games/2009/04/volition-makes.html

I stumbled on this quite out of the blue, but good on them for actually going through with it as well. Nice to see a Dev. having a bit of fun.
