Freelancer Demo

[Feb 21, 2003, 4:15 pm ET] - Share - Viewing Comments

There's a new Freelancer Demo on FilePlanet (subscription required), offering a sample of Digital Anvil's upcoming space game exclusively for their paid subscribers. The 154 MB demo "contains the entire first system of the game: The Liberty System of Manhattan. It includes more than a dozen bases, five ships, and great taste of the open-ended nature of Freelancer." The demo's exclusivity is enforced by way of an activation key provided to FP subscribers during the download.

Between this and MOO3, the modern day PC game industry seems to have been left to the paycheck collecting SUV driving fat greed-heads. This is what happens when the game industry commands enough of the economy that people go after these careers because they "pay well". Not because they love to play games or have shown any aptitude in game design or what-have-you. You get some lame assed project lead whos supposedly been developing software since the early 90's but doesnt even own a PC at home. But no matter how it occured, there is no excuse for taking 2 of the most innovative and enjoyable interactive entertainment titles and reducing them to the mediocrity that plagues the shelves at EB this week... Freelancer has been made so "fisher price" they may as well port it to the consoles, though im sure thats been one of MS's plans all along. So, before i close this post ild like to give a big 'ol "FUCK OFF" to the respective devel teams of Freelancer and MOO3. May all your daughters be impregnated by a jobless immigrant.
