Freelancer 2?

This is only my second time posting here, so I am not sure wether it has been asked previously.

Will there be a Freelancer 2 or is there just talk about it?

(BTW: Got into Freelancer because it is very much like my old favorite game as a kid Privateer.)

Freelancer could be twice as exciting if it had a speach pack like privateer and not just lame comments from enemies. Like the old retros or kilathis

Stuff like
retro - "Deliver us oh lord for we are in need"
kilathi - "..I will meet you in afterlife.."
Don't remember alot of the quotes but they made the game more exciting.

Also was bumming when I found out there was not Joystick support WTF!?

Jukari, welcome to TLR.

Yes, it is an offten repeated topic. No, at this time there is no word in a Freelancer 2. that does not mean there isn't something in the works, just that there is no word. Do a search with Freelacer 2 in the box and you will see several threads on it and other comments as well. There is still hope, but till then, there is always the mods to download and play.

I hope that Microsoft is willing to back another great game from our friends at Digital Anvil. I would be first in line the day it is released

freelancer is the best Space Sim i've ever played mainly because it lets you use mouse to aim... the fact that you can't use the mouse to aim in Starlancer means i can never get a kill.... in the demo of starlancer, i just fly around with the arrow keys and only got 3 or 4 shots on target

blind shooting helps in the starlancer demo, wouldnt have beat it without some assistance with the lame arrow key controls.

The question of if there will be a freelancer 2 has been asked for over 2 years. Heck, I remember that question being asked even before freelancer 1 had been released.

Isn't about time for a Privateer III ?


Ever get evil in Privateer? "Monkey boy, you make me laugh."

FL really is sort of Privateer updated, just as Privateer was a new Elite.

One can always hope...

If someone started development (whether DA or someone else) and basically kept tight lipped since then, they may say something soon. I mean the first game was unveiled 2 years into production, and it's been 2 years since its release.

So if someone is working on a new FL title, they may finally unveil it at E3 in May. It probably won't happen, but it was a nice thought.

Personaly i think that if they do make a freelancer 2 it should contain some first person shooter levels.

In freelancer they just had cut scenes for the shooting parts, there could have been a wider scope for levels and it would have been cooler to actualy save the presidents life by shooting the alian thingy yourself.
