Freespace is NOT a Descent game. Descent games are defined by their claustrophobic mine exploration layout.
Freespace was good, but does not belong under the Descent name.
ViperGTS and I used to play Descent 2 PVP via 9600baud modem back in the day. Good times.
It is true that Freespace does not belong under the Descent name.
The superior space combat games deserve to be separate.
Descent is not a space combat game. I'm not knocking either one.
Yep, unfortunately D2X-XL is a bug-ridden piece of bloat, and the administrator is an arrogant prick. The latest version crashes to the desktop within a minute of me entering the first Descent 2 mine. Also the sound still pops for me.I still play the Descent games regularly today. There is an fanmade version of Descent 2 called D2X-XL with an updated engine, and people still play Descent 3 online. There is no modern game that is anything like this series.
Oh I almost forgot about the soundtrack. It still stands up to this day. Some great industrial music in there by Skinny Puppy. I think the title screen music is one of the best songs in a video game. The feature of allowing rebook audio from the cd drive was a feature that was way ahead of it's time.
I seem to remember practically all PC CD's in the early 90's having redbook audio. I know I ripped the soundtracks from Quake and Mechwarrior 2, because I loved both soundtracks. I should find my old Descent CD and rip that one too.
