Looks pretty cool. Still far from release though. During the livestream they played it live, crashed twice and had a bug that prevented them from advancing the story.
There's still a chance. They'll probably go under and their assets and technology will be purchased for pennies on the dollar. Then someone might make Freelancer 2.
I still want FreeSpace 3 but sadly the IP is in limbo as there's no clear case about who owns the rights to it.
I played the everliving shit out of freespace 2. Such a sad fact that the entire genre of games like that is completely dead, despite the fact people seem to be willing to literally throw money at anyone who will make games like them.
X4 is pretty much all we got any more, and as much as I like to hear germans say cock repeatedly, its more an economy simulator than a space shooter.
I was going to wait for 4.0 but ended up reinstalling it last night after years of not playing. So much new, I was totally lost. I forgot all my keybinds for my HOTAS. I didn't even leave Orison, but got my armor, healing tool, multitool, armor, guns so I'm ready to relearn it.
I won't be spending money on it, but might as well make use of what I have since I'm bored out of my mind these days, and citizencon always make me a believer again even though I know what they show might never make it in game or is still years away.
