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.
Yeah- X-Wing Alliance was good. It looks like Volition doesn't really want much to do with the license, though, so
I am behind anyone who is willing to make an honest effort at a true follow-up to the Freespace series. I'll withold judgement until I see the game as it starts to take shape. (Assuming that this supposed deal goes through.)
Well, the HLP admins have wanted a response from the V people, but no luck so far (this is especially valid as Derek Smarts claim to be making a valid sequel if he gets the rights rests on contact with V to establish the storyline, etc).
I have heard another rumour that Egosoft (X2) might be interested in the license. Absolutely no way to back that up, though.
EDIT; To clarify - some of the HLP admins have been trying to contact Volition staff for an opinion on the whole issue - debacle, even. So far with no luck... although I guess I should add the caveat that it may be that Volition can't really comment on this, due to some unknown legal or professional aspect.
