  • Bretonia Space - Bar music 01??? That song should be called "The Dealer".

  • I would LOVE to play a Freelancer 2... or 3... or 5 even (That's about where the franchise would be, right?)

  • WE want Freelancer 2!

  • is that free lancer 2

  • ↓↓ Join petition for freeelancer 2 ! ↓↓

  • ATTENTION!!!!! ANYONE WHO WANTS FREELANCER 2 TO BE MADE GO TO GOOGLE AND TYPE IN FREELANCER PETITION CLICK ON THE FIRST ONE THAT COMES UP AND SIGN IT!! The freelancer community needs to show microsoft that we really want a sequal!!

  • *At Microsoft Games*

    Developer: Hey, I got an idea, let's make a sequel to Freelancer.

    President guy: What's that?

    Dev: It's a loved sandbox space flight sim. If we do the sequel, it would bring something new to the console gaming industry!

    Pres: Nah, let's make that Singstar clone for the 360 instead.

    Dev: B..but...

    Pres: Nope. I know what the people want, they want repetitive shooters and casual bullcrap!

    Now go make a sequel to Viva Pinata!

  • but why this game canceled????

  • Just warning about TC - it's certainly a great game, but the only thing I hate about it - it's great heaviness. All these loadings between sectors (if you are moving from sector A to sector B without jumpdrive (especially when talking about terran sectors in TC), but with 10x SETA - loadings spend almost half of the time). Also FPS slows in all sectors with many objects (big fleets, large amount of stations). My quad core couldn't handle with it well.

  • @Tempestin SETA also slows it all, especially 10x.

    Off topic, it would be nice if some game company buys the freelancer trademark, and makes their own sequel, as bethesda did with fallout.

  • Digital Anvil has been divided up. Most of the people who developed Freelancer are now working at TT Games (Lego star wars and that shit). As if Lego Star Wars sells better than Freelancer. Bullshit, Microsoft!! We want Freelancer 2, dammit!!

  • Of course this was discontinued... Freelancer was a good, original game! Why should we make THAT if we could do "Futuristic Battle 250Billion"

  • ;(

  • I fear this will amount to nothing, since when has a company as large as Microsoft ever listened to a group of people bent on simply supporting a game?

    Regardless, I will support this, because Freelancer is a game I still visit to this very day. One of those games I've never uninstalled :)

  • Freelancer*

  • I think the look that this game had deviated from the original freelancers a bit too much.

  • Freelancer was a good game and got me into space games. It was a disappointment to see FL2 canceled. However there is still the X series and it is like freelancer on every steroid available.

  • @rujikin x series was boring. prove me otherwise

  • @manlykblaze Lets see. Me (M6 Vidar) two Zyphr's (TM Transport Military) and about 7 M3 class fighters vs three M6's, two M7M's, 15+ M3's, Lots of M4/5's in an all out brawl.

    Or perhaps you just want to be a pirate? Well your in luck! You can attack any and all race ships, force them to bail or board them, then sell the ship or build your pirate fleet :D

    Also building a factory complex that is equivalent to the star forge on Knights of the old Republic is always a good thing.

  • @rujikin the only thing that piss me off is the huge learning curve that puts me off hope they fix this in x rebirth, the game looks beautiful. type it in youtube

  • @manlykblaze Yeah it does have an insane learning curve. That is the #1 worst thing about the game is learning how to play it. However once you learn it the game is VERY good. The complexity is good once you learn it because you get to do SO much with it. Heck I just enjoy making a trading empire on it and fighting whenever I feel like it.

    I know, I am subscribed to Egosoft newsletter.

  • @rujikin So its like a single player Eve Online? seems interesting. Where could I find it nowdays?

  • @MrPerson61 I haven't played Eve but I have only heard stuff from friends.

    Differences that I know of:

    #1. You manually control your ship and only turrets are automatic (unless you jump into the gunner seat and have the ship auto-combat

    #2. You can build up an economic empire and trade with all those friendly with you. Stations, complexes, and later on an HQ where you can build ships with the right material.

    #3. You can control an entire fleet and switch to any ship in the fleet

  • @rujikin Somebody on a mod page told me that you cant control more than one ship in combat at once. I asked if this is true for both the mod and freelancer vanilla and he said both. Is this wrong or right?

  • @MrPerson61 In X3 you can control your entire fleet which can consist of a thousand ships (however 1000 might cause a lot of lag). You can only fly one ship at a time though. While you are piloting your ship you can send commands to your other ships, if your not piloting they are AI controlled. I normally have a wingmen guard following me around. When I get into a battle I order them to protect me, attack a target, or attack every enemy they can find. I fight 20 VS me and 8 wingmen

  • @rujikin In my other comment I meant freelancer not x3, thanks for the response though

  • @MrPerson61 Oh.... Yeah in Freelancer you can only control the ship your piloting. I forget if you can have multiple ships in docking ports though.

  • @MrPerson61 Bestbuy, amazon, or Steam (maby others??). Its around and you can register your physical copy on steam so if you lose disk you don't have to re-buy. You want to buy X3 Terran conflict (If you want a giant sandbox and don't care about the story that began the whole series). X3 TC improves just about everything about the game and makes it much more user friendly.

    If you want the whole storyline buy the X-Superbox on steam.

  • How the fuck could they cancel this?

  • Why all cool space game gets cancelled. Damn bullshit!

    Jumpgate Evolution cancelled.

    Nexus the jupiter incident (well, maybe there's still hope for this one  wwwDOTgames-plantDOTcom/nexus2­).

  • @TRINI7Y66 Hey , theres still X- Rebirth coming! :D

  • @RedReversed Yeah, man I can't wait for that game :P 2012 is far away :(

  • hey, i would go out and pre order freelancer 2 or equivalent there of... and I'm really frickin poor with no job...

  • Looks pre-rendered

  • for the fact that microsoft canceled it, i'm using pirated Windows :P XDDD

  • I remember when I played the first freelancer, I was blown away by the graphics, the gameplay, the open world, and the depth of the story. It was one of the few single player games that took me a LONG time to beat, the way it should be. and with the mod tools multiplayer was an amazing experience too! I really hope they bring this project back..

  • This footage makes any true freelancer crap his pants! FREELANCER FTW!

  • I hope they send their cancelled project over for implementation with "X: Rebirth" then :D

  • the nomads have infested the microsoft games development and have taken key people in digital anvil, there trying to soften us up!

  • If there are 191,802 viewers than it is so possible to achieve REALLY WANTED 100,000 signed petitions i have currently seen only 22000 signed petitions?

  • @theeclownbro He`s wright....GET ON IT PEOPLE!!....I have already sing it...It takes only like 20 seconds...

  • @JokiMBS Typing your name into text document =/= signing, and online "petitions" have no legal or lobby tangibility to them. You would have a better impact supporting modders, indy devs, and other titles in the genre thus showing Microsoft that there is a demand/market for such.

  • Microsoft can suck my salty chocolate balls

  • I would have literally bought a 360 just to play this game. Hopefully someone catches on and picks up development!

  • I want it. Even if it's still a pre alpha.

    I JUST WANT IT!

  • Cancelled?? I smell the hand of the Nomads in all this... I mean, come one! How can anyone humanly cancel development on the sequel to such a freakin' brilliant game!?

  • ахуенно !!! хо чу поиграть !!!! неужели разработку остановили ?? аааааа !!!

  • holy fucking tits. goddamn why doesn't this exist

  • ahhhhhhhh WHAT THE FUCK!!! FREELANCER 2 CANCELLED,ok hold on a sec, *pulls out revolver* says* "GOOD BY CRUEL WORLD!"* BANG!!!!"*

  • This would have been a great game :(

  • WE WANT FUCKING FREELANCER 2

     FUCK FUCK FUCK , HELLLLLOOOOOOOOOOO MICROSOFT DUDES

  • I've just started playing black prophecy. It's not freelancer but it's ok.

  • JUST MAKE M DAMN FEELANCER 2 I WANT MORE EDISON TRENT

  • back when i got my hands on Freelancer-PC in 2004 i was like MEHH ! what the hell i would be playing UT2k4 all the time & if i may get time i would test it.

    But when i started playing, i realized how wrong i was about it coz hands down 1 of the best & most underrated game produced by microsoft back then still FL 1 is lot better then most of games of 2day.

    I just hate microsoft & bill "gay"tes & his Geeky looks for screwing this title hard.

  • WILL SOMEBODY PICK UP THE LEGEND AND MAKE THİS GAME A REALİTY, IM SURE THEY WILL EARN X100 THE MONEY THEY WASTE MAKING IT

  • fuck consoles

  • I'd be pissed if I had to do all that work and then have the Producers turn around and cancel it! Grrrrrrrr!

  • I loved freelancer and it is a shame they canceled the sequel.

  • Sorry to say this deserved to be cancelled if it was gonna be made for the 360.

  • @ShadowPh0x Fucking right im sick of console games being badly put to pc... if its not made for pc then put to console ill not bother buying it, and they wonder why pirating is getting worse with the shit there doing to pc gamers its just a way to get back at the company.

  • who would cancel this, its so beautiful

  • orgasm?

  • All listen! we need to make a comunity ,that want freelancer 2! Microsoft need to now it: WE WANT FREELANCER !!!

  • If anyone has played Halo: Reach one of the missions in that reminds me completely of that game! (the original freelancer)

  • @SkulkingMEDIA yeah haha i know what you mean! i thought the same thing :) even though freelancer is old its graphics still beat the shit out of the space mission in halo reach

  • Microsoft....you make a big mistake....TERRORIST ATACK!!!!

  • if i had 10 million dollars i'd buy the rights to the freelancer series and make the next one myself, or hire 20 people to do it for me.

    but i don't have 10 million dollars, don't have a gaming company, and don't have 20 people to hire to do it for me.

  • we could program our own.

    look at what infinity's doing.

  • Part 2 - King who bears the name: Freelancer.

    Thank you.

    (anyone who would like the second part, let give thumbs up. Later this petition will be forwarded to Microsoft).

    Long live the Freelancer.

  • Part 1 - This is a petition to Microsoft: This legendary game is our idol, life and joy. Many of us in this game, spent part of his life, and whether we celebrate or cry while we defused an enemy, this game is etched in our hearts a deep scar of unforgettable experiences. Therefore, please - Create a second part of this unforgettable legends and classics. Classics, which we fundamentally changed his life. Your loyal fans, keep believing and hoping the return of the king.

  • Comment removed

  • I think we should all sign this petition and spread the word. I know the situation's pretty hopeless, but this is the most we can do.

    Try to rewrite the reversed link. Or just google this text and go to the top link on the list "Freelancer 2 petition We have gathered here to PROVE MICROSOFT WRONG."

  • Dude where is Freelancer 2? WTF??????

  • @10blackdon Together with other cancelled games...

  • Shit Man is that Released in Open Source?

  • Ugh, I would buy a new 360 if this game were actually released.

  • freelancer was my favorite game for quite a time till i played portal 1 but i would still jizz my pants if anyone would do a freelancer 2. I had high hopes for Black Prophecy since it used a similar gameplay elements like freelancer but it turned out to be a grindy shit with way too small systhems. well i at least think that the prologue of BP is really really good but i have the feeling they didnt have enough money to develop the story further thaan in the prologue.

  • 6 people likes poo the bear...

  • Twenty five seconds and I'm convinced that this was to be a fantastic game. The ship flying in the middle of the city reminds me of Hardwar. It is such a pity...

  • Microsoft is crap. Hope Google buy you someday, cause you can't handle it anymore.

  • some one kick microsoft in the arse and make them look at how many player freelancer still has Today

    mircosoft if you are reading this MAKE THAT GAME!!!!

  • someone help me decide: freelancer of freespace?

  • @dotchoo Of course Freelancer. The game is much better then Freespace because Freelancer never ends.and you can do whatever you want and well its just thousands of lightyears better. ;)

  • @didihell freelancer has the advantage of being open-ended, but that's about it. The Freespace 1/2 story is more in-depth, the characters far more fleshed-out, and it's actually in simulator format, where FL is solidly an arcade-style game. And the score, the musical score in Freespace 2 is absolutely mind-blowing. Don't get me wrong, Freelancer was a Very Good game, but FS1/2 stand alone at the pinnacle of Space-Fighter simulation. A commercial B5 sim might best it, but they canceled it.

  • @dotchoo Blach Prophacy !

  • @dotchoo freelancer!!!! the best space simulation ever

  • i'm going to go and rape Bill Gates now until he continues the development of this game...

  • This game alone would've convinced me to buy an Xbox 360.

  • COME ON! WHY, MICROSOFT, WHAAYY!!!!!

    please release it, although the whole FL-Fans lost their hope on it.

  • Beat this game like what? 4? 5 times? Fucking memorable game. No other space sim can compete with this. The only thing that comes close is the Homeworld series and even then those arent space sims.

  • I personaly don't think that this game has been canceled, only post-poned. It simply would have been too much awesoness for our petty minds :3

  • @alexsamuraiuuu Considering the Developer, Digital Anvil no longer exists, I'd say its a safe bet to say it's been cancelled.

  • microsoft is a den of cunts for cancelling it.

  • i would buy a 360 JUST FOR THIS

  • WE WANT FREELANCER 2 !!!

  • cancelled? that's probably the greatest mistake in human history.

  • @Sebastian781 Space sims are dead, the genre has been washed away by a sea of mediocre tacticool FPS games and fanservice-laden jRPG imports.

  • @syn010110 exactly.

  • @syn010110 But Sapce sims will be reborn when....BLACK PROPHECY ARRIVES, IT WILL BLOW THE SHIT OUT OF RPGS AND (some) FPS's

  • Damn, I really want another freelancer

  • Interesting, Microsoft don't do things that are good but every once in a while they make new Windows.

    Ok, there is Dungeon Siege III upcoming....

  • Send these comments to Microsoft at least make them finish the story that was left off at the end of FL1.

  • I hope there's a special place in hell for Microsoft.

  • @iphoria xD

    

  • =Q... Oohhmaahgawd

  • :Q___

  • Freelancer 1 was just awesome, a good space game and you dont see many good space games AT ALL! This looks cool, kind of like GTA in space lol

  • one reason why i didnt buy a xbox360 and bought a ps3. screw microsoft, FREELANCER 1 WAS SUCH A SUCCESS and then they tease us by showing us some freelancer 2 then going haha cancelled bitch

  • OMFG WTF BBQ why the fuck they won't fiinshed it? it looks FUCKING AMAZING i loved the first Freelancer

  • Oh god, why? I can't believe they stopped making this... That's pretty sweet how you could fly in the city as well. I wish I hadn't seen this because now im pissed. :(

  • mıcrasfot get thıs project on run again or ,fuck you

  • Just click this video link while listening to "MK Ultra" from Muse. Drop jaw afterwards for several seconds.

    Is Microsoft really canceling this game? They have no taste. And shame. And brain. And respect. And honor. Damn. Damn!

  • @heavylurker your right my jaw seriously dropped

  • YOU CAN SIGN THE PETITION on ign boards! I couldn't give the link because of youtube rules.But for anyone who is lazy to do a 2 min google search i will be glad to provide the link in PM.

  • 6 dislikes... that's got to be the voice actors from the original Freelancer.

  • Microsoft, go pack your shit together and FINISH this!!!!

    Or I am moving to Open Office :P

  • o.O

  • OMG. OK i am speechless the beauty is so great. I need them to restart development...now. Fucking microsoft...it's the Fox of gaming and computers.

  • I remember spending hours on this game, with my mate. We would get up early, go on and trade. It fucking awesome.

  • this one looks really awesome. why microsoft, why???

  • The Microsoft guys got some serious issues to deal with

    but this holy game is A W E S O M E!

    if u think so like

    Fucking shitty Microshit

  • WOOOOW

    that looks fucking good

  • WHY WOULD YOU CANCEL THIS IT LOOKS AMAZING!

    For everyone else looking for a similar game ive found

    Jumpgate Evolution

    Black Prophecy

    Infinity

    Think they are all in development or running beta tests but at least someone wishes to continue the action space dogfights, mining and fun rather than the cluedo in space that is Eve.

  • @willspock check out Battlestar Galactica by bigpoint. Due out this month and a free to play browser game with better graphics. looks very similar. i'm an old FL player myself. Couple of vids on my channel.

  • @willspock haha lol i just checked those games they are nice but, there still on beta haha sucks

  • microsoft wasn't crazy...........there was just not enough money left for the studio

    maybe in time microsoft re-opens there studio again when xbox 720 comes out

  • @taproot12 or the Xbox 1440 lol

  • @Whiteisrightful or the xbox 124151561262

  • Fuck microsfot!!

  • *COUGH* BLACK PROPHECY!

  • Comment removed

  • I really cant believe that freelancer has so much fans! I thought nobody likes that game besides me :( hehe we should really protest to continue with making Freelancer 2!

  • We should hm make a protest gus this looks soo good but COMONE MICROSOFT WTF THIS GAME WAS LEGENDATY!!!!!

  • @breakingheartlol Not as legendary as your spelling though. =)

  • they must have been crazy to kill this...

    i want freelancer back, and I want james hannigan to score it again.

  • Hey! check out Black prophacy, it might not be the same, but it looks very similar to the first game!

  • deam you microsoft!

  • why was it cancelled ?!!! years and years awaiting the new FREELANCER II but they cancelled ?!!!! shittttt !!!! :'( i <3 this game

  • should be on pc.

    that is it's natural home

    and of all flight sims :D

  • OMFG.. frigging awesome tech video, fuck you microsoft for cancelling it

  • Goddamn Microsoft is stupid, they could have made a LOT of money of this thing. You'd think they'd at least recognize the only thing they care about.

  • @leahinator I don't understand. Were they almost finished?? Why did they cancel it? Any news on whether or not they will release it in the future??

    (In the mean time we can play DiscoveryMod for Freelancer :P )

  • @manoljo Sadly it is well and truly scrapped, coincidentally I was playing Discovery mod just today - small world ;)

  • Of une is this movie?, In what way? how can it have?

  • @petrica87alex What does that mean?

  • when apare?

  • Fuck Microsoft!!

  • @TheSebulba1978 how about:

    fuck you!!! :D

  • search black prophoficy thats what i have a feeling they brought out :P

  • microsoft u bunch of assholes

  • @Baubaz it isn`t microsofts fault, digital anvil had no more money...

  • Omfg this looks really awsome. But too bad it was cancled. It would of never taken off anyway cause its only on xbox360

  • you know they can take a good game have a big company buy it then it all goes to pot it never fails

  • This doesn't even look like a Freelancer game. Looks way too different.

  • why the hell crap games get greenlights to be developed? we want freelancer 2!!!

  • omg i wish this had come out

  • The Best goddamn Game

    and they canceled it

    I got only one word for this:

    REVOLT!!!

    :((((((((((((((((

  • Comment removed

  • fuck microsoft for sellin this for lego -.-'

  • we should petition for a freelancer 2 . if half a million say yea we will buy it that should get there attention

  • im guna go kill myself now. sigh. why didnt they bring this out

  • microsoft thinks it has better ideas than this...yet i didnt see a single better idea than freelancer 2 -_-

  • DUDE JUST LOOK AT IT!!! D:

  • They were sold to develop LEGO Star Wars instead. WTF??

  • Uhm put it on pc plox? kthnxbai

  • May Microsoft go bankrupt and never return for performing such a horrific act against the gaming community.

  • maybe its a strategic marketing mechanism.. getting everyone all fired up.. totally distracted from real life.. wanting so desperately for the sequel..... ever read 1984.. it will come.. keep waiting

  • Two words.. Crimson Skies.

  • @HypnotistFox man, Crimson Skies is one of my all time favorite games...so many memorable moments...definitely a franchise that needs to be revived along with Freelancer

  • Microsoft should be more creative, rather than rake in money with countless (and possibly never ending) halo titles

  • @Arvak777 that's bungie not micrsoft

  • @skrili well they were owned by microsoft, so they probably had a final say on everything...

  • @Arvak777 no microssoft markets it only they do it with evry game tehy market it oterhwise it would sell so good iff microsoft dind exist peaple wont now any came puplished bye them

  • beautiful... just beautiful... touché we'll never see it :'(
