Freelancer, 4 years worth the wait? YES!

:shock: WOW! That is all I have to say. Okay, maybe not. If you have ever played the Escape Velocity series, you should know Freelancer. I downloaded the free-trial off of fileplanet tonight and gee-whiz, the most incredible gameplay experience, 3D, open-ended space comabt, trading, piracy etc. I even put my F-105 away this eveing, and haven't climbed back in the cockpit yet :twisted:

Hey Cowboy,

I hear it only has mouse support and no joystick support whatsoever, how do you like it, and can you elaborate on the controls some. I'm standoff-ish until I hear a little more but I'm interested.

 

 

Thanks in advance

Ya I was really wanting to use my joystick, until I found out how, because of a frictionless zero-g environment, you use WASD and the mouse to move about the area almost like spectate mode in first-person-shooters but with startiling manuverabilty, I don't think it work to well with a joystick instead of the mouse, so...yes there is now joystick support, but, it works great anyway.
