    I’m always on the lookout for more games like Freelancer, but it seems like a bad sign if they don’t want people seeing gameplay footage only two weeks from the game’s release date…

      While it can be used to hide a bad game, it’s more of a general marketing thing in the era of trashy algorithm driven content consumption.

      If everyone high profile uploads their review of your game on the same day, it hyper-accelerates the domination of those algorithms and everyone broadly interested in the space you’re in is going to be exposed to it, probably significantly.

        I reinstall and okay through it again every several years. Lately No Man’s Sky has been scratching some of that itch for me, though.

      Dude… This game is nothing like Freelancer, it’s FO4 with a space suit, you don’t even get to control ships.

        While most space games admittedly only overlap somewhat in the context of space dogfight battles, from what I’ve read the player is able to fly the ship between planets, space stations, asteroid fields, etc? Bit too FPS-focused and not enough economic-focused for my liking in contrast to Freelancer, but the games seem to at least share that in common.

          The super long game play preview had real time space dogfights. Did I miss something? Is it being scrapped?

            Don’t think so. The 40min leaked gameplay also had dogfighting in it
