Dagobahn Eagle Posted December 17, 2001 Posted December 17, 2001 It appears that a freelance design team has been allowed by LEC to create their own SW simulation game. The project, currently known as FreeWing, will be multi-genre, and with full multiplayer support. Judging from the screenshot, at least the graphic designers look talented enough (besides from the character's choice of clothing, maybe?). Taken from Defiant's Flying Temple: We are proud to unveil an early glimpse of our project, FreeWing. As a team, we aim to create (as Nob describes it) a trans-genre immersive simulation, with full multiplayer support. The game is being developed by X-Wing [editing] veterans decoy, Defiant, Nob, Rogue, and Snooba the Wookie. Many of the ships are being designed by Erai of Rogue Republic Technologies, including the cruiser in the background of the teaser. Countless others have contributed ideas and have helped to mold the game to its current design. For years, we have been trying to modify [X-Wing Alliance, which was] simply was not designed with any sort of modding community in mind. Based on this experience, FreeWing is being built with maximum extensibility in mind. More information will be released when the renovation of Flying Temple's web site is complete.
Guest Luke Skywalker Posted December 17, 2001 Posted December 17, 2001 Sweetness! I cant wait till this thing is released! That sounds so cool.
Dagobahn Eagle Posted December 18, 2001 Author Posted December 18, 2001 will this cost anything? Chances are it won't, but when we're talking about giving, someone should provide that guy with a pair of pants . So far we know about nothing about the game (1 sceenshot is the only reference given ), except that it'll be SW oriented, customisable (according to quote), multi-genre-based (I'm not sure about the meaning of this, but I hope it's some SW version of Tribes 2 -walk around with armors and fly about in spaceships).
Dagobahn Eagle Posted December 18, 2001 Author Posted December 18, 2001 Sounds awesome.. If I knew what it was Well, I can only hope Defiant'll eventually tell us . I hope it plays like Tribes 2, only with SW units. Think Tribes 2 with armors like Stormtrooper armor, Jedi robe (which would about equal scout armor), and maybe a couple of smuggler outfits, and vessels like Speeder bikes (which would be the same as the GravCycle), fighters like X-Wings (which would equal shrikes), and two-man ships like Y-Wings (bombers, only with two units instead of three). Oh, and AT-ATs (one guy driving, one at the guns (controlling the head movement&firing), and room for like ten people in the hold) . Hey, a guy must be allowed to dream , mustn't he?
Darth_Rommel Posted December 18, 2001 Posted December 18, 2001 That game would "rule the universe!" (haven't you seen the "k'nex" advertisments? )
Tie Guy Posted December 18, 2001 Posted December 18, 2001 Thanks, eagle, it looks very....interesting.
matt-- Posted December 18, 2001 Posted December 18, 2001 wow It says on the website "multi-genre." I'm not quite sure what that means yet, but my best guess would be a Tribes2-type game. I'll keep my fingers crossed. I shall be watching this project with most interest.
Dagobahn Eagle Posted December 18, 2001 Author Posted December 18, 2001 Posted the following question on the XW:L message boards: What game does it resemble the most regarding gameplay? Jk, XWA, or Tribes2?
Dagobahn Eagle Posted December 18, 2001 Author Posted December 18, 2001 Hmm... if I had to compare it to three games in order, I'd probably have to say XWA, Rogue Squadron, Tribes. X-Wing Alliance: Excellent game Rogue Squadron: Good game Mix of the two: Superb game Tribes: Cool game Mix of Tribes and XWA+RS: Error: Result is over post author's head
