Freelancer is DEAD. Space games are DEAD. Why live anymore.!?

[Chii Heartbeat]

Why live knowing there won't be any online spacegame that's even similar to freelancer,with proper graphics,online? Seriously,eve is not a spacegame,it's just a simulator in space. Ed game is nothing but promises,and hype. Fellow gamers, I just want to ask you: WHY DON'T WE HAVE OUR SPACEGAME RIGHT NOW? WHY NOT? WHY DID THIS TYPE OF GAME DIE ACROSS 10 YEARS? CAN'T WE HAVE A SPACEGAME WITH 2015 GRAPHICS,FREELANCER AMOUNT OF CONTENT, AND MUCH MORE!?

SHAME ON YOU DEVELOPERS. SHAME ON YOU. (Not speaking about elite,elite's just not that type of game). I don't care. The TOPIC IS strictly about space games and whether or not your are satisfied we will never have that ONE spacegame we can all enjoy in huge battles online that are in a world that's filled with content,ships,customization.

Where did we all go? Where's our last hope? Nowhere I tell ya, ed is it's own game,plagued with things that actual gamers will never get, and sc is nothing but promises.


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE TOPIC IS ABOUT YOU! TELL ME HOW YOU FEEL WITHOUT HAVING A GAME LIKE FREELANCER ANYMORE. TELL ME ABOUT THE HOPE THERE IS. SHOW ME SOME GUYS WHO WANT TO MAKE A FREELANCER TYPE GAME THAT'S IN ALPHA.

Err, Starpoint Gemini 2 is as close as I came to Freelancer.

Limit Theory will also be a nice game.

since when is freelancer the measure of a good space game? freelancer was way too arcadey and got boring pretty fast imo.

'Struth! Freelancer was just not that good a game. I was highly disappointed in it. Start off in stock ship and get 50 pirate kills in half an hour? The hell? I felt like I was playing Galaxian.

if you want a game with a more set universe, story and goals, have you tried the X series?

rebirth is the latest one but has a lot of issues, X3 terran conflict is great, a lot of story to play, and lots to do in general, you can easily spend hundreds of hours in it.

Yep X3 is a very good game. While I do like Elite better (it hits the sweet spot for me perfectly), I loved X3 for years. The newest one, Rebirth, was broken at launch, but I've heard that it's actually shaping up to be pretty good now.

Star Citizen... that is all

Imho Star Hype is going to be a huge disappointment. There is no way the devs can possibly live up to the ridiculous hype that Roberts continues to generate.

Eve is a simulator? Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Eve is a bad game but how exactly is Eve a simulator? Click, click, click, click. Wanna fly somewhere? Click. Space combat? Click. Trading? Click. Exploring? Click.

Yeah, no. Eve is not a "simulator."

Plus not one space game can even come close to the scale of Elite Dangerous which holds the record for the largest gameworld ever created even if it is all instanced the galaxy is simply mindblowingly huge. Imagine if they added a "BUILD" component to the Elite franchise.

AFAIK the devs said in the past that building (and destroying) space stations wouldn't be coming.

Also, the size is just a config parameter in the procedural generator, so it's barely even worth noting, and there are other games with the tuning set higher (some times even way higher). Starbound, for example, should have over 400 quadrillion planets when released, each being similar in scope to a full Terraria map, thus having about a million planets for each of the roughly 400 billion stars ED has.

nobody wants space games.

thats why they add FPS and Social Modes to the Game..

[FernandoReina]

Well we are all waiting for Star Citizen to launch someday...

Hell, it bloody is. Just make sure to have a good computer, it's a little bit more demanding.

Not a problem, if you got the X series.

FREELANCER is anything but DEAD, it still has an THRIVING Online Community,

Where as Vanilla Freelancer only allowed servers up to 100 people,

There are 2 Major mods still being played today, wich allows servers up to 1000 players or more,

These mods are named either: Crossfire 2.0, or Freelancer Discovery,

Both still have at least 400 to 500 people that are always connected to any of the servers !!!

I dont call that DEAD !!!

I call that very much alive !!!!

Sources:

http://www.moddb.com/mods/crossfire

and

http://www.moddb.com/mods/discovery-freelancer


of these 2 mods i think Discovery still has the largest player base !!!

Freelancer was garbage

[Cyber_Chupacabra]

Elite is at the moment clearly not for me - shame as I am a beta backer, SC - oh boy, another project that I backed and now I cant even play it because of weird controls, so - what I have left? NMS - hmm not my kind of weird art style, so I`m looking into Limit Theory. That is all.

[Seared Sausage]

After 136 hours I closed the Ed book. Now Fractured Space fills the space combat hole @ 137 hours played.

If all of those games dont appeal to you - do the perfect one by yourself ))

I know you just stated that ED is all hype, but it will get better in the future. Hopefully the devs will step away from adding in different ways to do the grindy tasks currently in the free update, but the expansions will vastly improve it. Being able to walk around your own ship, planets, and space stations will definitely make the game more open, but I'm hoping for them to add in things that make the universe more interesting. Like finding weird animals following you on planets, alien ship wreckage floating around in space, ruined cities on unknown planets, crashed alien or human frigates that you can explore. ED, even with all of the planned updates and expansions will have a lot of room for improvement, and I really hope the devs take a step in a different direction, and make the universe a lot more adventurey.

I still think Star Citizen is a scam designed to separate nostalgic PC gamers from their money. I heard Chris Roberts is going to be at PAX Aus this year and I'm seriously considering going just to personally ask for my money back.

I don't know why you say its a scam, after they continue to meet all the milestones and releasing stuff for early backers to play. Just all seems to be a baseless accusation and sounds more like impatience here again to me.... all just because the full game didn't release in 2 years development which is so unreasonable.

Look everywhere now, what game with such a huge scope like this would be this quick to develop? also 77 millions is just peanuts in AAA game development today. GTA5 took 5 years and 265 million and still can't even come out with the PC version in time... we are in the third year here of full development, and we will be seeing alot of things before the year is out.

Email CS for a refund or ambush Chris if you want, by years end I'm sure you'll be running back though lol. :P

but they releese ae new EPIK cod ervy yeer and a knew EPIK asssaasssins kreed wie kant kris robherts doo it
