Chris Robert's FL sequel?

I always wish, on reading from somebody from DA’s team, that they’d go “Oh by the way, here’s a copy of the source I had lying around on an old hard drive”.

I have some info on good authority:

The game will be a high end PC only game which will rly push current hardware to its limit.

It should make FL/Wing Commander fans very happy especially if you remember what FL should have looked like before it was bought by MS.

The full announcement will be in October but it will be still worth to have a look at robertsspaceindustries.com on Sept 10th (when the countdown hits 0).

So it seems like the nearly dead hopes of a worthy Freelancer sequel is still alive? Very good!

Anyone knows what

Footer The Greek
Inside the deep dark depths of Space, lies a greek man named Footer. He’s as big as a mountain, with the heart of a tiger. Literally.

does mean?

(My only idea is: Atticus Rockford)

So excited

Well, that footer was also used here http://virtuousgiant.com which may be a Chris Roberts website/project?

Hi guys and gals. New to the site but a very old hand at space games. I want to thank Cannon and others for the valuable info on this thread. I’ve totally posted this on my spacey game blog and have given everyone full credit. Thanks so much for bringing this to people’s attention, especially mine! Can’t WAIT to see what’s in store for us.

Found your blog!

I think this countdown is based on your local time…^^

Really?
That’s… Cheap.
And sort of misleading xD

8 hours to go! may the gods of games give us what we hope for!

Yeah, the countdown is local time and ends tomorrow, so it’s probably US time (Los Angeles?)…

Should be Sept 10th, 10 AM EST afair.

Edit: Yep. that’s it.

Damn

The timer was updated and points now to 10 AM EST

0 days, 18 hours, 39 minutes and 19 seconds
left to 10 days from now!

However, this text is gone now…

Oh no, from 2h it dropped to 17h :-E ;(

I can handle 10 months, never mind 10 days, as long as that countdown is faithful from now and and we can at least find out what’s going on in 17 hours.

Don’t expect too much. It will be just the first step

How close are you to this, Crazy? What aren’t you telling us?
