FreeSpace: The Great War - [Final Mission] - The Great Hunt
0The Lucifer still has too large of a head start... Can we reach it in time?
Yes
----[Video Information]----
This playthrough will be done on a Mission by Mission format. One video is one mission; I will have to break up 2 part missions into their own thing as technically they are their own missions.
This was recorded in OBS/Display Capture.
My audio was recorded into OBS through Nvidia Broadcast and then edited in Audacity.
----[Please Note]---
This playthrough was recorded with a slight flaw. Every now and again you'll hear my audio kinda (for lack of a better term) “crack." This was due to my audio driver being a misbehaving twit that hopefully by the time you see this playthrough is FIXED for future ones. I did get a new microphone to be safe (mine was like...9 years old at the time of writing this).
I have cut out/fixed what I could and honestly it's only the odd one or two cracks that become a bit hard to understand. I've subtitled them just to be safe.
But I enjoyed this playthrough too much to scrap it so I hope you can forgive this slight problem.
----[Modding]----
For this playthrough, I'm using the FreeSpace Open Source Project, a massive undertaking of a team of developers to make FreeSpace an open and moddable game, and honestly they've done a damn fine job.
You can check their site here: http://scp.indiegames.us/ and download the FSOpen installer there too, it's well worth it.
I also recommend if it's not included to get the Knosses launcher too, makes modding it so much easier as it's just download and install! You can find it here: https://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=94068.0
You do need a purchased copy of FreeSpace 2 for modding to work!
The mod we are using for this run is called: FreeSpace Port MediaVPs 4.5.1
It's a combination of the port of FreeSpace 1 into FreeSpace 2 and the Media texture overhaul; you can find it on Knosses or here: https://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=89121.0
----[Purchase]---
You can purchase the original FreeSpace game on GoG or Steam!
GoG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/freespace_expansion
Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/273600/Descent_FreeSpace__The_Great_War/
The Steam one (for me) is a little cheaper, but my version is on GoG and it does go on sale quite often I find.
If you plan to play the modded version you'll need FreeSpace 2, which you can purchase from GoG.
GoG: https://www.gog.com/en/game/freespace_2
You only need FreeSpace 2 if you plan to play the modded version.
----[Final Note]----
I had a lot of fun playing this. It was quite entertaining going back into a really old game I used to play when I was so young (I'm not that old either, ha). It's clunky at times, sure, but its charm is still there.
I do highly recommend you play it; if not for the main story, the player made campaigns as well. There are quite a few good ones floating about that are well worth a look!
Thanks for watching!
