Freelancer planned for X-Box?

Tue Feb 25, 2003 7:26 pm by StingerAJ

Hi there,

i played the demo from fileplanet yesterday and examined some of the files in the freelancer-directory today, and guess what i found?
Maybe somebody else has found this in the beta before (I searched this forum for info about this, but didnt find anything), but check out this section of the file GAME_DIR\EXE\flconfigdatabase.txt:

///////////////////////////////////////////////////
//
// NVIDIA
//
//////////////////////////////////////////////////
...
0x02a0 = "GeForce3 XBOX"

Is it true that a X-Box-Version is planned for future-release? Why would they otherwise include the chip-id in the chipdatabase? Anybody heard something?

Wondering,

StingerAJ

really depends on how well the pc version sells. if they do make a port(and like someone said this is microsoft were talking about so if they can they will) i dont think it would sell to well.

There's a GeForce in the XBOX, and it uses a special driver from Nvidia. Many of the tools that are used with nvidia graphics components have this special driver set already included, so it it probably just left in there. I know UT2k3 has the XBOX drivers in it also.

Don't that just show that he may be right about ms porting FL to XBox....??

In order for FL to hit Xbox, they'd have to figure out that simply "impossible" problem of joystick support....

WOW... Xbox AND Joystick in the same thread... can the forum withstand the imbalance!?!

If the xbox supports in freelancer usb joysticks, I will buy a xbox.
well aktually only if I can play at the same servers as the pc gamers, but well I guess it would be xbox live with seperated servers, so I guess I would still not buy it ... ;-)

Well microsoft needs to bring some good single player game out for xbox for us guys who dont have board band. All games so far havnt had very good single player. Expect Splinter Cell, and Halo (which was a bit short).

I think DA uses some of the same libraries for their XBox Game Brute Force and Freelancer - believe me, no need to speculate on FL hitting the XBox - it's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!
