We've had this post many, many times before. No, there is no talk of a full blown sequel, MS doesn't seem interested because of the poor sales. However I am on a mod team that's working on a sequel-ish mod

C'mon Dark lay off the pesimism will you? It really does not help anyone, not to mention your statement has few merit in it.

While sales of freelancer may not be "stellar", it's no where near "poor" or even "average" if those were true you won't see anyone posting in here no more.

Just chk out other games with "average" release. They don't have a fanbase sticking around for this long.

To be realistic the development of Freelancer took 5 years and the sales may not justify the cost, that could be true. But it can also be argued, since they have most of the engines in place, it'd be a poor use of it, if they wouldn't go for freelancer 2. Since obviously the game is capable of so much more that never got implemented.

Is there hope for Freelancer 2? There's always hope

Hmm. I guess when I look back over it, it looks that way. That's not really what I meant to carry across...oops

I wish but seeing the way things work, if we want it real bad, they won't do it.
No sense being pessimistic, it wouldn't work anyway.

i'm not nerdy I'm just... uh.... uh... yeah, I'm nerdy.

I am the eternal optimist for a sequel. however, it helps by just keeping on playing the game, cause not only will they look at forums, but also server activity, and if after a year (well, its a year now) or two they still have plenty of activity, maybe they will start making sequels

I just bought freelancer about 2 months ago, and I have to say it is the coolest game that I have ever played. If ANY game DESERVES a sequel it is this one......

I think a Freelancer sequel is likely, and rumours tend to verify this suspicion, but nothing has been officially announced. But Digital Anvil must be working on somthing?

The reason we usally don't bring rumours on the frontpage are twofold:

a.) Freelancer was announced WAY to early, and thus nearly got in league with other games, where upon the fans wait for ages... (Somebody said Duke Nukem Forever?). If DA want to go silent for some time while building something, then I say let them work, and not have them have to jump to keep things down/announce stuff to early

b.) Rumours are just that ... rumours... and thus more often than not are totally false. We try to be pretty focused on what we know, and not speculate too much.

Rest assured that the great people at Digital Anvil are dropping by this site on a regular schedule... And when something is going to be told, we will be some of the first, if not the first, to tell!

Well, you got the big chief to reply. That's a good start for a newby

Oh well, I'll wait forever if I have to. I've been playing FL for almost a year now and I'm still hooked. And I'm not the onlyone. Both MS and DA prolly know that aswell. If they stop by every once in a while, they'll notice that a lot of mods are still being made. and not just simple single-sip-mods, but big conversions aswell.

if they are a clever as they want us to believe, they'll work something out, hopefully a more complete game this time

You were gone?

Edit: Damn spelling.
