FreeSpace: The Great War - [Mission 27] - Clash of the Titans
0The Shivans know where Sol is and are already on route, the Bastion and by extension... us! have been tasked to destroy it.
But of course, we gotta chase it first and it has a head start!
----[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!
