Yeah, what's the deal?!?

EVERYTHING about the ending of that game screamed "We have a GREAT sequel planned for this where all will be resolved" but where is it? My copy is dated 1999, and I can't find any info for even a proposed Freespace 3. What the hell was up with that ending? How much sense did that make?

 

Sound familiar XWA fans? mad.gif GRRRRRR!!!!

Actually, it's not [V]'s fault at all. [V] isn't that large or wealthy a company compared to most of them, so they didn't have the funds to market the games. Interplay holds the rights, and published the game, and it's generally agreed that the reason FS2 failed was their bad advertising/marketing. After that, they didn't feel there was any more profit in the series, and refused to let [V] make FS3 - they've said in various interviews that they would very much like to develop it, but they can't do anything without Interplay either agreeing, or selling the rights. THQ have nothing to do with it, they bought [V] long after FS was officially dead.

My list of games to get is growing steadily (as are my wife's dirty looks wink.gif). Is the expansion pack for Elite Force really that good? I've been thinking about getting it. Also, thanks for the info about Volition and Freespace 3 (or lack thereof). I recently E-Mailed Interplay and asked if there was going to be one and got the usual babble. Too bad. frown.gif

In no particular order---

 

1. XWA

2. Rogue Squadron

3. The Phantom Menace

4. TIE Fighter

5. Podracer

6. X-Wing

 

And I don't HAVE any others! (yet)

 

XWA is a fantastic game because of its high editability. It may be hard to edit, but you can do so much...

Rogue Squadron is just plain fun. Racer is exciting and has great music. TPM and TIE fighter are also fun to play. X-Wing is pretty outdated, but still a good game.

ER, Army Men?!!?! Why? ICK!!! I was a novel idea when it first came out, but then 3DO had to beat it to death by coming out with a new AM game every month! There's only so much the video game industry can take. REHASH!!!

 

Porsche Unleashed kicks ASS!!! God, there ain't nothing like taking a 911 Turbo and souping it up and making your opponents eat rubber.

 

Can't wait for THPS3, DOA3 and that new PS2 WWF game. BRING IT ON!!!

Definately. I played through the first 2 levels, then just left it on the shelf (or on the floor, in reality smile.gif )

 

It was a good concept, and the people at Lionhead must have put an huge amount of work into it, but they got so caught up in making something really complex and innovative that they forgot the cardinal rule of games: make them fun.

From what I've read throughout the Web, Black & White it's a game you either adore or loathe... maybe they should have named it Black or White ! wink.gif
