This was created when the source code was released for Freespace 2. In addition, content update packs have been developed which take advantage of the upgraded game engine. These packs include higher-poly models and higher resolution textures. The end result of this project is to create a graphically superior (and far more flexible) game engine, while still retaining all of the gameplay elements that made FreeSpace 2 successful.

1 comment by The_E on Aug 4th, 2010

Hi there. It's been a while since we've posted news here, but now it's time again.
Earlier today, FS2_Open 3.6.12* was finally deemed cool enough to move out of the Release Candidate and into the Final stage. We of the SCP team are very proud to present this latest release, as it brings numerous improvements in almost all areas.

3.6.12 offers an astonishing array of new options for Modders and Game Designers, as it introduces post-processing effects (albeit still only as an experimental feature), various new sexps for mission designers, new table options to fine-tune the AI and other stuff to your needs, as well as the usual array of bugfixes and speed improvements.

In addition, a new version of the MediaVPs, which is a set of assets designed to bring the old retail FS2 experience by using high-poly ships and the enhanced capabilities of the current engine is expected to be released in the very near future (as in, this very week).

Read the official release post at hard-light.net: Hard-light.net

Should you encounter problems, please consult the FSO FAQ: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=56279.0

Realtime tech support and other things can be found in the #hard-light channel on irc.esper.net

This is The E, wishing you all a fun August!

*In case you were wondering, no, you didn't miss a release. The .11 version of the engine was designated a purely development branch. In the future, our version numbering will reserve even numbers for "final" builds, and uneven ones for the current development branch.

Just a question, if this is free then why isn't Fallout 1 or 2?

FS2 truly is the pinacle of achievment for the old-school space sims (before the MMORPG time came) and the greatest game of its kind ever made. The king of space sims whitout a doubt it made Chris and Eric Roberts look like fools, even though their latest projects (Star and FreeLancer) were released years after FS2. Nothing more to add. A great game that anyone should have.

P.S. Source Code Project made FS2 quite a beauty. Sheck it out, among other things, at Dynamic4.gamespy.com

Possibly my all time favourite game. Bloody classic.

I wonder if the icons will ever be fixed.

Anyone wanna fix the broken link of the icon?
Oh, another FreeSpace guy has just jumped in!
The Promo Image 1 is from a mod called Inferno. At least I think it is from that.
The Promo Image 2 is from FreeSpace Open, the version of the modified FreeSpace source code.
