All I have to say is...WOW! Those look friggin amazing! I really hope it does come out in 2003 like it said at Lancer Reactors. It seems to me like FL is gonna be kinda like Iwar more than FS the way you don't neccessarily follow the storyline, am I right?

Oh, and Shrike, did you see those at E3?
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

Hopefully FL will be something revolutionary - but every month that goes by makes me less and less sure that it'll be a winner. Sure some games take ages to develop and kick ass as a result. But others... others suck, hopefully this game won't turn out to be one of them. It's amongst the only professional made hopes for the space sim genre.

I don't worry about tech. It's 3D, it's more easy to keep up with the evolution during the development than, say, a 2D game ( Diablo2, Tiberian Sun suffered from their graphisms when they were released). That said, the planets are still friggin ugly if you ask me.
 What I have doubts on is the mouse control. Well, at the begining I was 100% against, and now I'm just sceptical.

Yeah...FreeLancer represents the only comerically produced space combat game in existance at the moment.  EVE is more of a Diablo in space, although that has its cool points too (and damn it looks GREAT).

I think the move to mouse control will be an interesting one.  It will mean that a FreeSpace/X-Wing/Wing Commander game won't be replaced, but it will hopefully bring it a little more mass market appeal (apparently a joystick is too hard to operate?).

No hope it doesn't pull a Daikatana:

e.g. Be in development for another 2 millennia and then suck :D
It came from outer space! What? Dunno, but it's going back on the next flight!

I don't think so... For(n)ever won't be that good.... maybe if it were relesed like 3 or 4 years ago

I'm not so sure it will suck. The screens I've seen look marvellous.

Besides, it's Duke. It will  rock.

With lines like that, you cant go wrong....
If it was released 3 or 4 years ago it really would suck, because they only started working on it 3 or 4 years ago. Games released like that blow big steaming chunks....

Those FL screenies look, well, pretty good. :nod:
 
About that Duke Nukem Forever, it might be good, but will it come? :p
