![]() Nevertheless, it ended badly and the Shivans clearly have no interest in diplomacy since they are so alien, and appear xenophobic and only seem interested in wiping out all species and blowing up stars possibly to open up new subspace nodes (like portals between stars systems) to connect whatever star they blew up to their home system (if they have a home system). ![]() Though the findings are classified at the highest level and it is never known to the player or most Terrans and Vasudans what communication was exchanged. Throughout the series, communication between the Shivans and the Terrans and Vasudans is never officially established, though the rogue Galactic Terran Intelligence in FS1 (GTI) and the Neo Terran Front in FS2 (NTF) have communicated with them. Their motives and origins remain a mystery throughout the entire series, though there are clues given during the cutscenes and events of the series that give you an idea of what possible motives and origins that the Shivans have. One notable part of the FreeSpace series is that you fight against an enigma of a species known as the Shivans which cause the Terrans and Vasudans to put their differences aside and join forces in hopes of mutual survival against this technologically superior race that just appeared out of nowhere and starts wiping out anything that isn’t Shivan. It is an action-packed 3D space simulator with decent effects, military terms and strategy, the ability to give orders to wingmen, as well as the ability to disable or disarm warships or subsystems, and even scan cargo and information gathering.įreeSpace starts off in the year 2335 in a war where the Terrans (humans) within a military called the Galactic Terran Alliance (GTA) fights against a species called the Vasudans, and their military is called the PVN ( Parliamentary Vasudan Navy) in the 1 st part of the game. Anyways, I purchased the games and was quickly drawn into them since they had excellent gameplay, indepth storylines and descriptions for every weapon and ship in the game, wide variety of ships, briefings and debriefings, objectives to accomplish on top of staying alive, creative ways to play a mission, ability to earn medals and record all your kills and other stats, cutscenes, a lot of different functional keys (controls) that perform actions in the game, and even voice acting. However, I wasn’t entirely sure if it was connected to the Descent series for several years, but now I realize it was not connected and the 1 st FreeSpace game was only titled ‘Descent’ because it was made by Interplay, just as the Descent series was. I then discovered it likely was not connected to the Descent storyline. So I purchased FreeSpace 2 as well around the same time. ![]() So I found and purchased the original FreeSpace at the mall thinking it was a sequel to Descent 3 since the title was ‘Descent FreeSpace’ and I also realize there was a FreeSpace 2 in existence since it was also advertised. When I was in high school, I owned a game called Descent 3 and saw a game advertised in the back called FreeSpace. Not actual interview, but rather a very long answer to the question “what do you think about FreeSpace?” For a review of FreeSpace 2 written in Italian, click here.Ĭlick here for the HLP thread linked to this article. ![]()
