The difference is, you can play Freespace 1 with Freespace 2, and get the nicer graphics (1024X768 beats 640X480 all the time, sundays included), while the other way around is going to be difficult. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif (Freespace 2 has also received the blessing of not being translated, unlike Freespace 1, which consequently cannot support any mod and... *Digression alert goes off*)

Re: What Game R -U Playing now?
 

Fallout 1 & 2, Gothic 2 and Rome total war.

Games I wish I was playing: War in the Pacific($70!) and SE5.

Should get Jedi Academy then. The only thing better than killing stormtroopers with a light saber is killing them with a lightsaber in each hand.

The Freespace 1 port to FS2 is available on Hard Light Productions (a jewel site for Freespace). The direct link to the port itself is here.

You do not need to have FS1 to play the port by the way: you merely need FS2 and a speedy connection if you want to download all the music/animations/voices (otherwise, it weights a fairly reasonable 15 mb or so).

Re: What Game R -U Playing now?
 

Daggerfall, X2, Planescape Torment, HoMM3, Lords of magic, Medieval:VI, Anarchy Online, SEIV, Babylon project(Freespace2), KotoR2 and Dominions2.

What's "real life"?

Games I'm looking forward to: Tes4:Oblivion, X3, Gothic3, Dominions3, SEV, Daggerfall remake, HoMM5(if ever)and probably many other good games.

And as one guy here said; The underdogs site really is poison.

Oh, and if someone here have tried and like some/all of the games I've mentioned, and have a good tip for other games I should try, please do tell. I've found out there's always some games I've barely heard of, that turns out to be true gems. Latest one being Dominions 2, which contained lots of things I've missed in other games, though it has it's shortcomings too.

Re: What Game R -U Playing now?
 

Hmmm..

Last four games:

(1) Rome:TW (vanilla; 1.25);
(2) Master of Orion III (even with multiple mods, gave up again due to crashes, bugs and extreme tedium with no reward);
(3) IG2; and
(4) Ascendancy.

Favorites by genre:
(1) Space Strategy 4x (SE4)
(2) FPS (Half-Life 2)
(3) WW2 Strategy (HOI)
(4) Tactical (tie b/n X-Com and JA2)
(5) RTS (Warzone 2100)
(6) Turn-Based (M.A.X.)

Re: What Game R -U Playing now?
 

Homm5 is expected to be released in Q1 2006, along with another game using the Might and Magic brand. Who will actually make the game remains dark at this moment: Nivel was mentioned some time ago, and Ubisoft appeared to be doing some designing a year ago or so.

Daggerfall, Torment and Freespace: you do have good taste. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif I would have mentioned Gothic, but you already know that one. Maybe the games from Spiderweb Software could interest you? Their site is available here; Blades of Avernum, the Avernum trilogy and the Geneforge games (especially those ones for a stranger universe) to be more specific.

And you said something about "Daggerfall remake": is it wishful thinking, or is there actually a game that tries to remake Daggerfall?

Oh, and I almost forgot: there is another Babylon flight-sim available if you like Babylon. The address is here, and the downloads are available on the right of the page. Be warned though, as this one is rather different (and harder) than Freespace (who forgot to put armour on my Starfury?).
