karka Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 About What is Beyond the Red Line Beyond the Red Line is a stand-alone total conversion for the award-winning Freespace 2 released by Volition and Interplay for the PC. It is based on the popular new tv-show Battlestar Galactica. No, not the one from the 70s. Will I need Freespace 2 to play it? No, Beyond the Red Line is a stand-alone conversion and will not require Freespace 2. All you need for playing will be included in the download. Is it free? Absolutely. The game is made by fans for the fans, no profit is being made from any part of the project. Altough we could use some pizzas and coke to keep our mortal bodies running. When will it be done? When it's done. Will the game feature newtonian "real space" physics? No, original Freepsace 2 was designed as an arcade space shooter. However, we have included some new additions to the game that allow you to pull of some of the manouvers you see in the show. Will there be multiplayer support? Yes, multiplayer will feature such gameplay modes as Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch, King of the Hill, Gauntlet missions and possibly some coop missions. Will the main campaign story follow the tv-show? Download the demo and see for youself. What sort of computer do I need to run the game? Beyond the Red Line will run on a wide range of computer specifications. There will be many options you can tweak to make the performance optimal on your computer. Will I need a joystick? No, you can also use mouse, gamepad, or keyboard. What kind of ships will be flyable? You can fly Viper Mk II, Viper Mk VII and Raptor in the demo. More ships will possibly be featured in the main release.

Sand Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Cool. Murphy's Law of Computer Gaming: The listed minimum specifications written on the box by the publisher are not the minimum specifications of the game set by the developer. @\NightandtheShape/@ - "Because you're a bizzare strange deranged human?"

Oerwinde Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Ok, since it uses Freespace 2... wouldn't releasing this for free without requiring Freespace 2 technically be piracy? The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LostStraw Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Ok, since it uses Freespace 2... wouldn't releasing this for free without requiring Freespace 2 technically be piracy? The FreeSpace 2 engine was open sourced. All the music and art assets are still under copyright but since this is a total conversion I'm assuming it uses all its own assets.

Morgoth Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Freespace 2 was the best Space-Shooter I've played since Freelancer... and that comes from a guy that isn't usually into that genre. Too bad for Volition they scrapped every plan for a sequel, or a new Summoner for teh PC. Now they just make mediocre games (which prolly sell tons better anyway...so there you go). Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
