Supreme Cmdr Posted May 9, 2000 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2000 SpacePhish, Freelancer is the title that Chris Roberts signed to do for Microsoft. They signed that, Loose Cannon and Conquest. They didn't have a space game and no products to speak off, so, they acquired Warthog's title (the guys who did Privateer2), called it Starlancer, and burned up an option. It was quick to do and they get to make some money while developing Freelancer. They are touting Starlancer as the prequel to Freelancer. If thats the prequel, (I've played it) then Freelancer is going to be as disappointing as WC-IV was to WC-1. Anyway, at the CGDC conference, the only highlight that I saw about it, apart from the awesome graphics, was that some MS guys were playing in one room and others on the show floor, and the guys in one room were getting messages for re-inforcements when they came under attack. We all went, ...wtf, is that a feature?? Of course, the media carried the hype and it continues. Thats the point I was making and pretty much everyone knows what the hell I'm talking about. Its about hype and people claiming that they're doing something new, the media picks up etc, while the rest of the gaming population, know otherwise.Terminus is another culprit, to read their preview, you'd think they had re-invented gaming in any shape or form. Don't take my word for it, go read the www.avault.com preview. It's embarassing really. And then, when these titles don't live up to the hype (Terminus went from P200 to a PII, requirment), everyone will go scurrying for cover. Starlancer is the most recent example of this overextended hype. Why? because these *******s are cosing up to the big name developers for ad dollars, scoops etc. It is very disgraceful and thats why I have turned down every request for a preview of BCM. The first time anyone reads anything about it that even comes close to a preview of the final game, it will be when it is about to go Gold. This way, there are no false expectations.btw, thanks to a bored student callsigned Eclipse, for the Dev Diary logo. I think my web guy must be out in the Himalayas somewhere, cuz I couldn't reach him to make the .gif.[This message has been edited by Supreme Cmdr (edited 05-09-2000).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supreme Cmdr Posted May 11, 2000 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2000 LOL, those smileys are artifacts from the downsampling in the older paletted maps. Anyway, those old ones are just place holders, I may either removed Navitron completely (it is duplicated, in 3D, in the TacOps computer), or have new maps done. Its all a matter of time and budget constraints.

Rattler Posted May 13, 2000 Report Share Posted May 13, 2000 Whoah Baby! This little tidbit of info, if you can call it a tidbit, is like a neutron bomb! Outstanding and accurate documentation of those losers that only court the media and blame their lack of success on others, never fixing the problems that the gamers (That would be "Uncle Rattler" and his cohorts) have to live and die with! You tell 'em SC!Now on to the rest of the article! I can't even explain what I'm thinking right now. Would be wasted between my cerebrial cortex and my fingers on the keyboard. Heck, Parias would be at a loss for words with this one. All I'm going to say is that I'm just about ready to go fill up the gas tank on the car and Drive South!You've been warned SC! ------------------ Rattler, Insurgent One Commander-In-Chief, Insurgency Official BC3K Tester [email protected] ICQ 12894104"Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well! - Josh Billings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parias Posted May 13, 2000 Report Share Posted May 13, 2000 Rattler is correct, not even my handy-dandy dusty pocketbook can provide the words required to aptly describe my excitement. Heh, like you said though SC, I too am gonna look forward to watching the newbies try and tote enough firepower to annihilate a small city all by themselves.. hah, easy snipings!------------------ Cmdr.
