Get on Youtube and search for Freelancer 2 demo…

Probably some scurvy pirate selling a mod!
Hmmm… let’s see…
Lancer!

@ NeXoSE
Well it is FL2 or more to the point was. You can think what you want, believe what you want. I’ve posted enough links to Project Lonestar to last me a lifetime. Do a search on these forums, plenty of links. There are even links to people who worked on the game, if you don’t believe those then what more can i say?

Hi Gibbon,
I don’t believe temporary that because i don’t have more detail about it. I means there no official announcement for it.But if we will really get Freelancer 2, that is the best news in this year of my.

And to be honest I’m waiting for the point where the game becomes unavailable in most of the world. Why? Because then we enter a gray area that gives us additional flexibility to promote the game.If you cannot legally purchase a copy of the game… Just look at oldie games and how they’re handled most of the time.
I’m inclined to agree with FriendlyFire. Although that gray area is always pretty gray, I will admit I am not above pirating a copy of Freelancer in order to pass it on to a friend to try. It’s just too difficult and too much of a hassle to find a copy of Freelancer just to show someone the game and its mods.
Nowadays if you were to buy the game, the money isn’t going anywhere except the shop owner or previous owner. Microsoft doesn’t get the money, and Digital Anvil certainly isn’t either.

i guess its pretty time for introducing a legal purchasable download of the game. soon there will be no more copies of freelancer available in shops. i mean, i have searched through all cologne (germany) in order to find it, and finally bought it from a collectioneer in britain for a ridiculously high price (26€ however, is too much for a game that in a shop would be worth 5€ to 10€). and this happened nearly two years ago, imagine what’s it now.

(But a good question if they deliver also to Europe/Germany and how high the costs will be…)
Maybe we should re-try getting Freelancer at GOG - Through a digital download shipping won’t be an issue anymore.

I got mine for 5€ - maybe two or three years ago

Hehe. I hope you not means the Trent’s War.
I googled Project Lonestar, and i got
A sequel, Freelancer 2, was in development by Digital Anvil / Microsoft Game Studio in 2006 for XBOX 360. Codenamed “Project Lonestar”, the game was cancelled when Microsoft closed the studio.

What are you lot fussing about?
You can buy Freelancer on e-bay, £12 today.

We are annoyed at the fact that its getting more difficult to buy the game rather than to download it through some torrent sites.
Like, I can easily buy Darkstar One for 5€ and I’d get a brand new copy, but I have to pay 10€+ to get a used FL copy?

i think diplomacy is the key. it is a good game so it won’t fail on that. we have to advertise the game itself rather than the mods we’ve made. maybe, ofc, graphics improvements, such as highly detailed models, the retexture pack, the big huge effects pack and ofc the bloom fx and dx9 conversion. graphics is what the game fails at, not the story, not the gameplay. graphics make good 3d games old very fast while good 2d games stay good for multiple years, if someone remembers sierra’s pharaoh and caesar. we have to show, that this anyway magnificent game has been improved up to date and can be compared with modern pc games in any category. that we mixed down in it our favorite scifi shows is irrelevant. for all the star trek and star wars stuff there are games enough and mods enough. this is not what the players are actually after. we started to make mods not because we wanted to play our favourites but to play our favourites with our favourite game.

I dont think we should promote rather the game than mods. IMO mods are the most healthy sign a game can offer.
If people always see new mods for FL at moddb, they are rather to give the game a go than if there are annoying “OMG this is the best game you gotta play it” phrases.
