Freelancer: Guides and Walkthroughs. Freelancer: Guides and Walkthroughs Open the whole map of the game freelancer
Let's clarify right away so as not to come back: the main thing in the genre of space simulators has always been a man named Chris Roberts. The past time is of particular importance here - it was used in 2000, and after another three years it was finally fixed. Chris Roberts is alive, well, producing movies in Hollywood (" the Punisher», « Arms baron», « Lucky number Slevin») - which can not be said about the genre of space simulators, which in fact has already become a thing of the past.
Having created an outstanding series in the early 90s Wing Commander, Roberts left Origin and founded his own studio - Digital anvil... Her first project, created under the leadership of Erin Roberts (Chris's younger brother), was called Starlancer, it was a game about a war between Western countries and the Russian-Chinese-Arab coalition for the possession Solar system... Chris himself at this time was developing his most ambitious project - Freelancer... Formally - the continuation of Starlancer (they were united only by the plot plot: the West lost the war and emigrated to the far sector of space), in fact, a completely different game. Unlike Starlancer, here the focus was not on battles, but on wandering through space in the manner Elite and series X.
All merchants estimate my ship Anubis at no more than 1,100 credits - that is, at least 350 times cheaper than any super heavy fighter. Nevertheless, you have to be a complete idiot to sell it - this is given only after 13 freelance missions in the cities and villages of the black abyss. And the body kit is quite good, popularly called "my respect". The third time, making sure that the planned scenario of a damn dozen missions cannot be avoided, after completing them you are torn to freedom - the plot reveals a little more than half of the star systems, and the most complete of the existing game cards is not really such. The names of all systems and planets, with rare exceptions, are associated with the geography of the Earth (although the Earth does not smell here, it is somewhere far, far away), so the trip sets up a healthy mood: New York - California - transplant in the Magellan - Manchester system - Cambridge - a two-hour wandering through the Omega systems - the long-awaited Rheinland, aka Germany - in the end Dresden, where there is such a fog that the devil himself will break his leg. And not a single open planet ...
Freelancer took Digital Anvil five years - not a record, but quite a long-term construction. The foundation laid by Roberts reminded of all the great cosmos at once, but then everything went downhill: being carried away by cinema, Chris left the position of lead designer, and for the last three years the game was being developed in an unclear way.
The Freelancer storyline allows the hero to reach level 18 out of 38 possible, but after exchanging the second ten, the categories of time and freedom of the freelancer's stay in space shrink to the size of a small moon. The main thing is missing - variety. Planets, systems, galaxies and other cosmic conventions are distinguished by names, appearance and the arrangement of the planets, and in reality this turns out to be too little. Having started as a brave pilot of a light fighter, after a day of playing time, you find yourself in space plankton on a cruiser for 700 thousand credits, performing monotonous work to destroy everything and everything or to extract minerals. As a last resort, a smuggler with little choice. Planet - station - bar - work - planet ... The road from Dresden to New Berlin resembles a train ride out of town, because some% broke the gates to enter hyperspace, and no ship can fly faster than 300 space speeds, After all, everyone is flying about-di-na-to-in.
Freelancer belongs to the breed of games that cannot be judged by one assessment: despite the very high scores received by the game, there is still disappointment with how the last AAA-class space-sim could have turned out to be, if Chris Roberts had stayed at the helm.
