In relation to the thread about dead game series, I decided to write an e-mail to Volition, the creators of Freespace, to see if I could somehow spur them to sort out a Freespace 3.
They replied.
First, though, here's what I sent:The reply starts with what seems like a canned response, but luckily it wasn't completely so.Subject: A request with unfathomable incentives (yes, unfathomable!)
Dear Volition,
I've played Freespace & Freespace 2 so many times now the bits on my hard disk have worn out.
Please get THQ to pry the license to produce the game from the cold dead hands of Interplay.
I can't offer up any financial incentive right now. Instead, as down-payment, please accept this picture of a pig on the subway:
Love you,
Steve.At least they liked the pig. I wonder if the pig has in any way increased the likelihood of a new Freespace?Hello,
Thank you for contacting Volition. Unfortunately, there is no news concerning Descent / Freespace at this time. If you would like to view the current games which are being developed at our studio, please navigate your browser to http://www.volition-inc.com/Games/. We hope you continue to enjoy all that Volition has to offer in the future.
You’re not alone in wanting to see another Descent/Freespace become a reality and thank you for the picture of the pig.![]()
Also, I wore my Half-Life 2 t-shirt today in the hope Gabe Newell would walk past and remember that he needs to release Episode 3.

My only concern is should I hide my true identity? A costume maybe?
