Probably the best game/storyline I've ever played. God I wish I live to see the day a sequel (or remastered) version arrives... Every planet, space station and system had a story to tell. Likewise the idea of 4 (5/6) houses (long live Bretonia) was truly fantastic and unique. Definitely sequel material to be had there too! Discovery mod was in essence a sequel but the game could do with a new engine and rebirth. Also this time I want to make sure Bretonia gets exclusive mining rights in the Tau systems over Kusari and hopefully stop us getting bullied by the Kusurian and then Gallic militaries haha
@Viriatus PC Fuck Star Citizen, I want something as basic but as engaging as this game was. And hopefuly without Microsoft fucking over and cutting production early.
I played this game over and over and just had a new run a few weeks ago. It's still a timeless gem, even though the grafics are a bit dated. But I got to say this intro is even more epic, with the german voicing I always hear when starting it up. 😊
Such a cool cinematic. I especially like the part starting at 2:16 , following the smaller ships as they descend toward s the planet. Seems like someone could make a game that actually looks like this cinematic these days. The part at the end where he says "But we will never forget." doesn't really have any bearing on the actual game though does it?
I hadn't seen the Director's Cut until recently. I always took it to mean (something along the lines of) we will never forget the war that plunged humanity into desperation and chaos, therefore we should strive to avoid such a thing again and work toward the betterment of humanity instead of fighting amongst ourselves.
I saw the long intro and never knew they butchered it so badly before the final release.... then I bought the game and all I got was this... I was HIGHLY disappointed.
this was my first thought also, BUT sometimes less is more, and in this intro you only don't know there is an alien race, so until half of the game you really don't know we are not alone, I think its worked (also I liked the idea there is still an Earth back somewhere)
Exact opposite here, I didn't know about the long intro until some years ago and I am very glad they didn't use it for the release. Even the alien spoilers aside, the extended cinematic takes away from the game you are playing since it focuses on a conflict that has nothing to do with the game. (800 years ago in a galaxy far far away) We aren't trying to get back to that conflict, history remains history and we moved on.
Even to this day, I'm amazed how the intro is still so epic and wonderful.
I remember playing this game on windows xp. Still one of the best space games out there

@@timur22993 If you're waiting for Star Citizen, good luck with that- it's been stuck in development hell for years.
Two decades later and I'm still trying to chase the feelings I got from playing this game. Will Star Citizen ever be released? 😢
One day.. one day.. :)
In 1year
But it is much more a simulation game
Nope.

it does if you watch the director's cut ;-)

This game is so damn good.
And I am going to play this game again.
Still outstanding cinematic
The Coalition ships look exactly like the Human starships from that movie: "Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets".
Fucking loved this game back in the day (still do)
I really want to finish playing this now.
Wonderful, I love it game
Good to know ;) Enjoy the video, mate!
Wait, there were 5 colony ships launched? Because I've rewatched this 9 times now, and I always count 4 vessels making the warp-jump.
It’s hard to see, but at around 3:41, you can see the outline of the 5th ship behind the one closest to the camera on its starboard side.
How did the Coalition manage to gain the upper hand?
so epic
"against all odds..."
Bruh, the blockade got rekt big time.
still unsurpassed
Today with neirosoft this could be remastered once again.
What?!

This would be perfect as an NFT game.
No.
What part of this made you think Freelancer would make a "perfect" NFT game?
