Re: The "secret" history of Volition
That was awesome. Sad the way things work out. Still hoping for FS3 and Descent 4.

Re: The "secret" history of Volition
I didn't watch all of it yet, but it was great so far. Planning to watch the rest later.

Re: The "secret" history of Volition
Indeed, great watch.
You know, it wouldn't surprise me if these guys find a way to make FS3 happen within the next 10 years or so - we're getting to the point where there's room for such a thing, and the controller isn't such an encumbrance. (Personally I don't think it'd be that hard for me to play a game of that nature on keyboard/mouse, but I have to concede that it's difficult to learn to do it well.)

Re: The "secret" history of Volition
I watched it up until Freespace 2 for nostalgic reasons. Beyond that, the rest doesn't interest me.
Re: The "secret" history of Volition
Watched all of the clips.
Makes me hope for a Freespace and Descent sequel even more.
There's just no games out there like these two.
What's Matt Toschlog doing these days?

Outfit called Reactor Zero I think... from what I recall they ported RF:G to the PC.
Re: The "secret" history of Volition
Great find. I saw this at school during one of our classes. Great minds make the future, and volition has one of the best in creativity.

Re: The "secret" history of Volition
Watched it all now.
These guys really remind me of the M:TG team (specific people on the team I might add). When Mike Kulas was talking I had to remind myself that this was not Mark Rosewater - didn't help that they look almost identical.
They make it sound like it would be a fun company to work for.
