Freelancer On XBox? (August 9, 2003)

[ChrisReid]

Since Digital Anvil was bought by Microsoft there have always been rumors of a potential move to the XBox for the series. It looks like a number of fans would welcome the port if it were to happen. The question presented in the September issue of the the Official XBox Magazine asks, "Which PC game would you most want to see on XBox?" Freelancer came in at fourth place. Although this corresponds to only 8% of the vote, I'd attribute that to the whopping 53% that EA's Battlefield 1942 received. The difference there is that Freelancer would undoubtedly support the XBox Live multiplayer network while all EA games do not (which is the reason the multiplayer-centric Battlefield was scrapped long ago).

We don't own this place.. but we have an understanding with the people who do.
