@CarmenatyRaynolds I wasn't aware of this game , but as soon as I saw "coallition vs alliance" war , i was sure , check out Freelancer , it's a game made by same developers , and the intro movie is the end of the war featured in this game
this game and star wars x-wing alliance are 2 of the greatest space sims ever. why aren't more of this games? I just love this type of games and i'm sad they don't make them anymore
PLZ anyone wana play this cool game!! I figured it out how to play online, its just a firewall notice pops up in the background which you cant notice, press unblock so you can play!! Me and my cousin played like a charm, this game is the best, plz p.m. me we want more opponents
it's a sci fi game dude it is not the REALITY!And open a book of history you will be very shocked to know how the barbarian/german army had been fucked and analyzed during thousands and thousands generations! +
hello!French can won a war when the enemy didnt have arms to defend him self or weapons to kill the french soliders......they can beat the africans!when they didnt have an army.
@taprnatr But alliance loose the war. They was crushed and only thing what remain from alinace was 5 hibernation ships with several people from some nations that flle to the sirius.
Does anyone know how to record the cutscenes of this game on the PC? Fraps won't work because it only records the audio, not the video. I want to try to record all the cutscenes in this game (there are around 5-7).
I tried recording with Fraps while opening the movies with the ITAC. All you see is the ITAC screen while the audio from the movies play.
And if the movies are in the game files, I can't find them. I don't see any files with the .sfd extension, but I see a bunch of .bik files in this folder:
But the worst thing in my opinion was the dialogues. Don't know about the english version, but in the german all the dialogues were like two people talking about completely different things (like "what's your name?" answer: "No, thanks!").
Yeah in the English version, they had the people say, Whats your name, and then he would answer and then if they had a bad rep, they would tell him that his rep is no good, and that he should leave, or that they had nothing for him.
In a way, this actually makes sense. But the dialogues in the german version were like you're communicating with one of those automatic voice systems on the phone (don't know the english word).
You basically got it, and yeah their were a lot of parts that they could have improved on for the other languages, but though, turning the game to german while playing, makes it sound way better. But I think thats just because im from the USA.
Freelancer was a completely different game because it was set around 1500 years later light years away from earth. It had already been 800 years since the long journey TO Sirius. Including the vast loss of information and then the vast re-invention of technology, it's gonna be drastically different.
If I had a fleet of spaceships I absolutely would hold "Alliance fools" in contempt too, and "have no time for prisoners" either. Freaking bad-assed. "Execute them...all."
wouldn't you call FreeLancer the sequel to StarLancer? I mean yes, there's a lot to fill, like all the events that occur until the Alliance sleeper ships were launched . . .
The game did leave off with promise of a sequal, in particular, the stealing of the plans for the Coalition super-carrier, hinting at a new Alliance Super-Carrier for the sequal as a possible base ship
Well FL is part two, but in reality no. The conceps of the games are very diferent. SL is a space sim, with more options on the ships control and fighting, while FL is more like a bit of everything.
Part 2 is Freelancer but an intereting thing I found was in a cutscene for the space game Conquest Frontier Wars. The scene were the Marines rescue the Admiral (you can view it on youtube) are the same Alliance Marines you see here in this citscene manning the wall. They have the exact same uniform, gear and weapons.
I doubt it's possible... SL is in 2200, too... and Freelancer is the most kickass game :P I heard about a new game that is being developped by the team of Digital Anvil (Even though DA doesn't exist anymore), it would be sequel of FL.
Freelancer takes place in the same universe, but that doesn't make it a sequel. Sort of like, X-Men and Spider-man take place in the same universe, but that doesn't make one a sequel to the other. Damn what Microsoft says. A Sequel to StarLancer would continue THAT storyline, and preferably be a good ol' fashioned space combat sim. God I miss those.
yeah, i once tried that, even if your the hero if you destroy a tower from your own ships or if you kill a teammate then it's the death penalty for you....lol
It's really cool, the only downside I used to complain about is that it's a straight line of fire, so it's really hard to master and actually hit something... at least it's a one-hit kill weapon so it's rewarding.
the game actually in my opinion is the game with the most movies, they wasted alot of space just by making movies like this, thanks to a codec and a sfd converter, i got the movie from the game, and yeah, a great intro indeed
I miss playing this game so much... Too bad my computer can't play it...
