Ahaha, I remember that. Nice way for those developers to leave the project.
Carlos Rivera: Corsair Brotherhood Pirate - Retired, shifted to Tripoli Shipyard's Research and Development engineering teams Anthony Cameron: Guild Core Bounty Hunter - Killed in Action, committed suicide after being trapped in Omicron Minor following its destruction Juan Ruiz: Outcast Ghost of Razgriz Pirate - Killed in Action, killed by the Sirius Coalition Revolutionary Army during Bretonian piracy raid Michael Winchester: Liberty Security Force Agent - Missing in Action, likely killed during Rheinland espionage mission or trapped in Rheinland Space Eric McCormick: Order Pilot - Retired, shifted to planetside training of new recruits
"The thirteen saloons that had lined the one street of Seney had not left a trace. The foundations of the Mansion House hotel stuck up above the ground. The stone was chipped and split by the fire. It was all that was left of the town of Seney. Even the surface had been burned off the ground.
Nick looked at the burned-over stretch of hillside, where he had expected to find the scattered houses of the town and then walked down the railroad track to the bridge over the river. The river was there."
I wish the devs were able to include all the stuff shown in the E3 trailers - I've never ssen them before - into the final version.
The Liberty Bs chain lanching ships... is just... WOW
Opening and closing wings on take off, dogfights in the atmosphere and walk in cities as yourself *drool*
On a second though I wish I newer saw that, the released game pales in comparison.
But back to the first video, it looks like a junker in the jam, and I always thought he was an outcast because of the cardi cigarette.
EDIT: Extending wings youtube vid here, so it is possible!
The guy says they made this video as a goodbye to Digital Anvil. Maybe he would know something about the source code...
EDIT:
In the video description, he says:
Quote:The ending to the game Freelancer, that no one ever saw. No, not really. This cinematic was worked on as a goodbye to Digital Anvil when a friend of mine and I left the company after finishing our part of the game.
I wrote a really funny FL story, but it disappeared when the old forum went away. So, no lulz for you today.
