    There has always been a cohort of fans who have wondered what Freelancer might have looked like if Roberts realised his initial vision.

    I happen to have an image of what that game would have looked like right here:

    Don’t see anything? Exactly. Because it never would have been finished.

    Also that typo in the title…

      I wonder how Freelancer would have worked out with Early Access. Star Citizen isn’t it since you have to be logged in to their server to play it and Squadron 42 is apparently going to be linear, regressing back to the Wind Commander series style of doing games.

    Hope this doesn’t go down the route of Microsoft seeing the demand that exists and sending cease and desists without bothering to make a decent rerelease.
