Jumpgate Evolution

I'm not sure if anyone remembers but Microsoft published a game a few years back called Freelancer, it was a great single player game very similar to the old Wing Comander: Privateer.  I loved those games, do you think this game will have the same feel as those?

Apsolutely. That is the aim of Jumpgate Evolution

Freelancer rocked :D

X3 is also good.

Yes, JGE will have a very similar  (but improved in many aspects) combat and economy system.

Altho Freelancer rocked my socks off, the scaleing kept bothering me, but I know for a fact that Jumpgate has this covered, so keep your fingers crossed that the beta will be out soon :D

The flight mechanic is very different compared to Freelancer.

Other than that it is very similar. I can't wait to play in the beta

I remember that game.

I like "X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter", later it was "Wing Commander 3" and, a few year ago, "Freelancer" and "Darkstar One".

I played a lot these games and I'm waiting for another one of this kind.

I've been flying in Jumpgate Classic, and even then the only games that were comparable considering the size and feeling of freedom were the ones mentioned above.

From what I gathered so far on the official forums, from dev chats, etc. the mission system they planning to add will be exactly what I've missed in JGC.

But as probably mentioned a lot of times already, getting used to the newtonian flight-model is a complete different story (but they're adding 'dampeners' to allow for a more Freelancer'ish flight feeling in small ships).

Privateer the darkining, freelancer and wingcommander are the 3 games i have played the most. and may i say they ROCK.

i am realy looking forward to JGE and will deffently buy it.

i must say though, that i am not getting my hopes up, because i have been disapointet so many many times theese last few years, with all those WoW clones out there.

But i´ll bet that this is the game that can change the game industry view on how an mmo needs to be.....

I will buy it...

I've had Freelancer for years and I still haven't finished the game LOL I still got the saves, but a couple of time I had to start over and then had to get involve with other things.

However, I played Jumpgate Classic first. I liked Freelancer, but I think the gameplay will be very different. I hate not using a joystick in FL.

Freelancer was great!

In that case I am turned off. I was a HUGE fan of freelancer's intuitive mouse/keybopard combat system and though I got both flight sticks and a joystick I always prefered Freelancer's mouse/keyboard setup over X3's joystick or Eve's overworld view.
