Derek Smart and Freespace 3? [Jul 15, 2004, 7:33 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A speculative
question from 3000 AD's Derek Smart on the Adrenaline Vault Forums (thanks
Rake) polls interest in him acquiring the rights to Freespace 3, making the
following statements in a pair of posts:
....Derek Smart, yeah, that would be me, got the license from my friends at Interplay (a publisher I had very good experiences with); would you buy Freespace 3 if I made it?
Discuss. Rave. Rant. Argue. But this is something I am seriously considering, given that it looks like Interplay has started off loading properties (starting with Fallout3). I mean, just think. Would you rather see this legacy license fall into the wrong hands?
...
I have already contacted my Interplay contact about it btw.
For the love of the game, let the franchise die. You have to give credit that when a MAJORITY of the gaming community, let alone 98% of die-hard Freespace fan base does NOT approve of you making the game. I understand you don't care if we approve or not, but damn.
I know you have the *possibility* of actually making a good game, but there's no guarantee, and, given your previous record, far from it. With chances of the Freespace franchise being reborn and as a *possible* result Freespace 4+ on the horizon, why would anyone want to place faith in you carrying that out?
Here's the deal Derek. I'd buy the game if you did a good job. Problem is, you won't. You never have, and never will. Call me immature for saying that, but I'm just acknowledging your shitty track record.
You know the gaming community doesn't want you fucking with this game, so why do you keep asking?
