Elite the original and best! - Lollingham - 09-06-2009
Hiya guys and girls
Well what can I say, the original and best space combat and trading sim, wipe the floor with just about everything that has come since.
But I am thinking it is due a 21st century remake! Just imagine all that great gameplay of the original, coupled with 3d graphics and ship combat, not to mention being able to walk around inside these massive space stations and experience the game as it was meant to be (well as it was meant to look in the eyes of the creators, but given the technology of the time, they still done a great job).
I am saying to re-make it all from scratch! Add first person perspective modes for exploring the inside of space stations, planet surfaces etc. Fire fights inside space stations against mercs sent to hunt you, gangs trying to hussle you in condition red worlds etc. Being able to walk around inside your space craft while it is on auto piolet to the target planet/station. But while you can do all of the above in 3d, I would not want to see it taken to ridiculous extreams and turn the new one into something unrecognisable to the fans of the original.
What are your ideas on this guys, also any suggestions you would like to see in a re-make? Of course this is pure wet dreams, not as if anyone would bother taking the task on, if they did, we would not see anything for at least 10 years anyway, given the way the world is going, we will be lucky to be alive to see any such release lol.
Oh yeah forgot to mention I would love to see the same happen for that great lil gem, sundog!

Better Graphics (CD9 or even 10)
More deeper storyline. Or re-make Freelancer for next gen instead of a FL2.
Better Online Support - Increased Size.
More Systems
Walk in Stations. Not combat though.
Fly into planet atmospheres maybe even.
More Variety
List goes on what I want in a new Freelancer Updated for Next Gen.
