ActiveWin: Freelancer - Preview | |
|
||
| Time: 00:00 EST/05:00 GMT | News Source: ActiveWin.com | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||

It seems like it has been an age waiting for Freelancer to be released, it was first announced a few years ago when Chris Roberts of Wing Commander fame was still involved, but now It has been left to his brother to complete the epic game. Since it was first announced a number of features have been dropped, mostly on the multiplayer side, but that doesn't mean there is no longer a large scale multiplayer part to the game now as the one we are left with looks like it will be pretty good, the only problem for me in this preview is that there were NO multiplayer worlds being run with this press preview release during the times I checked. | ||

| Might be a while - there isn't one planned. |

| The Game URL points to Age of Mythology. |

Here's the correct URL with screenshots:
http://www.microsoft.com/games/pc/freelancer.asp Man, I cannot wait for this game any longer. Games have really sucked lately. I was horribly disappointed with both Diablo 2 and Warcraft 3. I think Blizzard has lost its touch. Unreal Tournament 2003 really sucked. I've been forced to stick with CounterStrike and Civ3 for the moment. :( |

| Haven't we been waiting for this game for like two years? |
| #8 By 3 (81.100.93.99) at 2/3/2003 1:55:44 AM |
| It has been around 3 years since it was announced, thankfully it isn't another Daikatana. |

I'd like to believe this is going to be good. However, it's very, very late - never a good sign. The last games to come from this development team were Starlancer and before that Privateer 2. These were two of the buggiest games around. (P2 wouldn't even read the second CD of the 3 CD game until a patch was released).
It should concern pre-viewers that parts of the game are still missing. This game is only a few weeks from release - it should be complete by now. They should be play testing, not still getting the components working together. Add in Microsoft's recent lack of quality control for their PC games (Combat Flight Simulator 3) and everything adds up to a disaster waiting to happen. I think I'll wait until the first user reviews start appearing before forking out for this. |

| The press version we recieved is from early December if that helps and the game is not gold yet...no components were missing - only audio was not complete and that was in there. Multiplayer was there but could not be played as there seems like no one else with the press version running a server apart from me! |
