very scepticalwhat people seem to forget that Freelancers gameplay was planned to be more like EVE Online and not how it is today

Discovery is very active on the forums over there... and they make sure that everybody knows about discovery.They have their own thread for discovery players... lets imagine that every server does that and people start praising their mod.probably not the best idea However... the website... once registered is a poll, a blog and a forum + some upcoming informational areas.With the forum they apparently try to create some kind of "wish list"..... what did you love most on FL... what did you hate a…

discovery players always did such crapthey did it on TLR in the past and they did it on other FL sites There once was an agreement with the discovery developers that such behaviour isnt tolerated by both sides... but i guess that plays no role nowadays

Im on it... i wont waste my time

you never know... but like already mentioned Chris Roberts created good stuff... and he also failed badlyHis last try to create a computer game was Freelancer and his vision of the game failed so he sold the project and somebody else finished it before it went down the drain.That is something that people either dont now or forget when they remember other games. We had other games like Freelancer in the past years and they failed... either Mr. Roberts has a genious idea or he is not better than …

yepproblem with high expectations is that the disappointment might be even higher

well, i dont want somebody to fail... but i remain skepticalI believe the game concept is already done and the only reason to bring up the site is to gain some information and get ideason 10th october the official news will be announced and they would do an announcement if they wouldnt know how things will look like the people which registered on the website have just minimal influence on the games lookthe decision about the kind of game is already done... if not then they would have a damn sho…

for meanwhile 3 days i ask myself if i should open a thread there that practically deals with all the so far done suggestions and wishesand i am not sure if that actually would be a good idea I would desillusionate most of the people over there with the things that I have to sayI could name the wishes which are totally unimportant for a good game (use of hardware that nearly nobody uses -> VR devices)... compare the wishes which conflict each other (such as large, free systems vs. player intera…

there we have our problem again... me and not using hard words (thats a conflict in itself)^^

i wouldnt expect an answer... and actually i am not in need of answers for myself

I guess you mean the tech demo we released.... a few flybysthen some liberty cruisers and defenders we just tried to see what we can do at this moment

I am most confused about the choice of polls. 1st one was about cockpits.... does anybody actually care about that? The gameplay is important not the style of the cockpit.2nd was about controls....3rd about which kind of game the players wants the 2nd and 3rd poll are quiet irritatinghe wants to announce his game in about 2 weeks and does not even know what kind of game it will be?So far i was thinking that he already has a concept by the hands... but these polls seem to show something differen…

very nice

They are the ones which kept the game development running after Chris Roberts original concepts for the game failed.They funded the game development... they changed to concepts and gameplay to the Freelancer that you can play today.They supported the game till 2007. Without Microsoft you would not even be able to play Freelancer or be part of this community.For me its pretty hard to have negative feelings knowing all these facts. But I guess there are still people which say "I dont like using a…

oh cmon... he is the hero that saves the entire genre... with shiny animated cockpits as most important feature. [ani='scale','1500'][frame](animated doll costs 20.000$)[/frame][frame](only 20.000$)[/frame][frame](pledge NOW!!!)[/frame][/ani] (Hidden Content)

Dunno... but in my eyes "Star Citizen" sounds like paying taxes.

I have no problem with the stuff that he created... I have a problem with the shown arrogance.His claims about the genre belittles the work of all other Scifi game creators which kept the genre alive during the past 10 years while Mr. Roberts did nothing for it. He is by far not the best space sim creator nor were his projects all successful.His original concepts for Freelancer failed putting him into the position to sell his company to get the game at least finished, Starlancer was a commercial…

(Quote)so did many other people... that still does not mean that they are a guarantee for success or good games (Quote)the difference is the entire gameplay.FL was announced to have a point and click type gameplay where the player can only do automatic maneuvers.I am glad that the original concepts where thrown over board so we are able to fly the ships today. (Quote)sure but that 95% does not claim to be better than all others and save the genre (Quote)clearly a matter of tastethe movie got an…

Hopes, everyone has them.Unfortunatly they are based on wishes... not on facts.Yes, I also want new space sims... but not at all costs... and not done in a way i disrespect. Ill give you some thoughts you might want to consider. There are 2 years of development... maybe more.But already today the people focus on this new game... they lurk around on the forums... they have only one topic.Existing game projects, mods, new developments suffer from inactivity.The motivation to create something own …

clearly his idea, truebut a good idea does not make a good game yet.
