I'm gonna need help! Here's the plan. We track the owner of volition by cellphone(easy) and find him. Then, when hes walking on the street someone drive on the sidewalk, I will push him out of the way(easy) and save his life. He will be so thrilled he will tell me if there is anything I need, just ask him. So we go to dinner like you're supposed to do when you save someone from a crazy driver. As we conversate, I'll bring up what a great game free space was and how it was a shame there wasn't a third game. "Hey here is a crazy idea, lets make a third! After all I did save your life..." GENIUS... who's in?

volition doesn't hold the rights for freespace. Interplay does. So no, even your brilliant and amazing idea won't do it.

[JaredFrost95]

DAM   well no biggie we just convert to interplay.

[Luis Dias]

it wouldnt' be a profitable game. And please let go of the subject. I have no problems with it, but many people here might flame you just for bringing it up.

Interplay's a public company, there's no one owner. Plus, they're in the toilet, hey couldn;t make FS3 if they wanted to. Plus Volition are kind of owned by THQ, so they can't work with Interplay even though they do want to make FS3.

Honestly, there's plenty of people still at Volition who've said many times that they'd love to make a new Freespace game. The motivation exists, it's just not financially viable, or contractually practical. Sad but true.

[EDIT]Nobody's going to flame an overenthusiastic newbie. Those days are years over.

Seconded.

Not to mention that Interplay has stooped as low as filing lawsuits against development companies that they sold their IP's to in a vain attempt to pay of debts. They are currently in court with Bethesda over a lawsuit where they failed to uphold a contract and are challenging it, attempting to get the IP to Fallout back. How the mighty have fallen.

Why should we assume it's not a regular trolling? Several have expressed desires that the forum head in that direction.

[Black Wolf]

I meant the whole thing where people got hammered for the mere mention of FS3.

[TrashMan]

Come back once you gethered a few million $$$ as investment capitol. Then you can make FS3.


Money is power. If you have enough money, you can make things happen.

In the future, this ought to be the first post in all FreeSpace 3 threads.

Didn't realize DS was back.

Doesn't Volition have the rights again? Or am I thinking of Relic and Homeworld...

Wouldn't mind a Homeworld 3. FS3 on the other hand, I'd be worried about. FS2 was pretty arcadey for its time, yet it's still hopelessly beyond the target console market...

[Commander Zane]

Because it doesn't belong in console.
