So about 20 years ago there was this game called Descent: Freespace...

I'd be as excited for more official Overload content as everyone else, and considering that there appear to be more campaign slots that's probably not an unrealistic expectation (I really should get over to the official forums/discord). But I gotta ask the question:

Is there any chance of a Descent: Freespace successor/remake eventually landing? Seriously, that's something I'd put on my bucket list.

Couple of my friends and I would LOVE a new Freespace. Instant buy.

I loved Freespace and Freespace 2. It was also great how that Wing Commander Saga fan game came out built on the FSOpen stuff.

Games like that are just fun to play and have great stories. Would love to see something like that, but it would probably require a lot more money than it took to do Overload.

Well, theres this. Its been on Early Access, then they pulled it from the store front. I havnt followed it, but when I do hear anything about it, its usually negative.

Pure junk. Should have never used the Descent name.

I do hope Descent: Underground gets back on track tho. I know they recently had new partners come in and stuff.

Apparently the "Descent" name was only added to the name of that game for Marketing reasons, in which they dropped it for Freespace 2.

Yep, trademark issue.

So because of this thread I have decided to load up Freespace 1 using the open source project upgrades. It is still the greatest game ever made along with Freespace 2, and the open source project makes it even better.

Revival, I really hope you guys make a successor for Freespace. It would be an instant buy or kickstarter backer.

That project is really neat. Played through FS2 and then FS1 a few years back using that. No need for a remake! A successor though...that would be amazing...but I think Interplay still owns the IP so could be tricky...only so much you can get away with!

The Source Code Project has basically remade Freespace already. There are even new, fully voiced campaigns with professional level writing. Check out "Blue Plant" in particular. IMO, it's as good if not better then the original game. Top notch.

I wouldn't hold my breath for a AAA space combat sim though. They havn't been popular in decades... even FS2, the greatest example of the genre released at the height of the genre, was a financial flop in it's own time. Look for indie games.

Well for anyone who has finished the game... yeah... there are conversations to be had indeed!

Indie doesn't mean bad and AAA doesn't mean good.

Look at Deserts of Kharak.
