Doctor Evil Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 https://robertsspaceindustries.com/ I could not be more hyped. I was a huge fan of Wing Commander and Freelancer, wishing Freelancer had gotten the treatment and sequel it deserved. Now it looks like it is. What are your thoughts? An FPS game with a space sim all together? Is it too ambitious? I think this could work, but you're probably gonna need a kickass rig... I have one Quote
Malkior Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I watched an LP of the entire Freelancer game, and I couldn't be happier that it's finally getting a proper release. It is such a shame that the original is still incredibly rare, as it had an awesome plot and surprisingly dense Galactic map with which you can explore every corner of.. Also John Rhys Davies as a character VO. Quote
VarsityPuppet Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I am a fan of an old mac game called Escape Velocity. Star Citizen looks to be a next-gen successor to that type of gameplay. Quote

Microsoft needs to stop being such pansies and release the copy on Steam, it's one of my favorite games ever Quote
Canderis Posted December 4, 2015 Posted December 4, 2015 I'm excited, but skeptical. I want it to be what I think it is, but what I'm expecting is so amazing I can't fathom it'll live up to that. 1 Quote

Try Endless Sky. It's open source, even. And to not wander too far away from the topic, I like what I'm seeing there so far, but... but. I don't know. Something feels out of place, and I don't quite know what it is. Maybe it's just me beeing too picky, though... Quote
Doctor Evil Posted December 4, 2015 Author Posted December 4, 2015 I think my pants need changing (God I hope this stuff gets mod support like Freelancer did) 1 Quote
