FR on Irrational Games Forums

[Blkcasanova247]

Here's a small excerpt for a letter that I wrote Ken Levine a few weeks ago about an FF3 game and also about may us finally getting our hands on materials from FFvsT3R.

When Irrational reemerged we were so happy and excited at the prospects of there being light at the end of the tunnel...finally a third game might be within reach. But hearing the words "no plans" leaves us all feeling deflated and disappointed. We are also wondering if the remaining materials for the game could be released as a "final" pack for us with all of the character meshes, buildings ect. This material would be a great boon to folks and also be another way for us to keep things going. I know that you're a busy guy but I hope that you'll have the time to really consider this and also I'd really love to hear back from you. Please know that for the core fans you have created a game that has had an ever lasting appeal and we've cared about for almost 10 years. It's banded us together as a community and as friends for these long years...we are just hoping and praying that this isn't going to be our last hoorah! Take care and I wish you continued happiness and success in all your endeavors.

Sincerely,
Sheldon Marcelle (fan)

He got back to me a little bit ago....

I've been to freedomreborn about a zillion times. I have to confess it's been a while since I've been back.

I'm sorry to disappoint about future freedom force games. One should never say never. I hope you know that Freedom Force is important to me. I paid for the development of third reich out of my own pocket and actually lost a lot of money on it. But we had so much fun I would do it again.

BTW, I'm talking about Freedom Force on a podcast that should be released wednesday called three moves ahead. I haven't recorded it yet, so I don't know what we'll be discussing, but it might be fun for you.

Sheldon, let me look into what would be involved in doing what you request. I've got to talk to Jon Chey, who ran that project. The problem is he left the company a while back, and I'm not sure if there's anybody there in Australia who knows how to do this. Let me see what I can do, but no promises.
Let's keep our fingers crossed.

That's really cool, Casanova.  Some nice initiative there.     Good luck!

Wow, that's wicked awesome to read.

Good luck to us all I think. I really beleive that the more of a presence that we have over on the IG forums the better. As fans we are all gonna have to "ring" the proverbial bell for Freedom Force. I'm looking forward to that podcast he mentioned so let's all get on over to the IG forums and listen to it this Wednesday. And let's all keep our fingers crossed on getting those files.

They're wicked cool.

You'd be surprised what happens when you just ask.  Its how I ended up with the mesh for OConnor.

I think I joined many months ago but i haven't been able to log on to the forum since. I'll have to give it another try and maybe harass Ken Levine while I'm at it.

But, seriously, who wouldn't want the 3ds max files of, e.g., Tombstone or the Nazi characters, I ask you?
