why is the space in Freelancer so colorful? isn't space

>>377910132
because it looks nice

>>377910132
if it was all empty and boring you would be playing elite dangerous

why does space have sound?
isn't it completely silent because the lack of air to carry sound waves?

Sacrificing realism for visual aesthetics is video games is a common practice. How come you have never realized this?

Space can be colorful.

>that first time you got yanked out of warp lane

That was hypest shit.

>>377910515
Sound has nothing to with air. Sound, is a thing in itself, it exists. I don't need air to speak. You just hear me.

>>377910664
You realise that's not what it looks like, right? Those pictures are edited to add colour to things.

>>377910758
I'm just gonna give you a (you) on the house.

>>377910758
Nah,you need a middle material for sound to travel through,space is just,nothing.

>>377910758

I swear to god if this isn't bait i'm fucking done with this place.

Read out the definition of "aspirate" out loud.

>>377910850
It's not fake either. They record in the invisible spectrum (uv,ir,...) highlighting different details from both sides to the limited band we can see and merge then to give a full picture.

It would be arguably sensible if your real space ship would automatically do the same as the color tells you the composition of what you're looking at.

>>377910515
because aside from the off simulator that goes for realism it's boring to not hear anything, and impacts game design through the lack of audio ques

>It would be arguably sensible if your real space ship would automatically do the same as the color tells you the composition of what you're looking at.

This is probably the most sensible thing i've read on /v/ in a while.

>>377910935
Why would it be bait? My voice cord vibrates and generates the sound which you hear. Why the fuck would I need air?

>>377911850
oh man i've never thought of it that way

>>377911994
That's because it's wrong

>>377911850
Sound is a vibration which travels through particles. A vacuum has no particles in it so sound has nothing to travel through.

>>377910132
Not even going to bother spoilering because old games is old, and the dumb is strong with you.

Sirius is an artificial construction in space, built by the nomads for their unknown masters. human sleeper ships lucked out and found a region full of 'inhabitable' planets all very close to each other, galtacically speaking.

>>377911495
Why would someone flying a combat ship give a fuck about what a nebula 5,000 lightyears away is made of?

>>377910132
Apparently you can't actually see nebula with the naked eye.

>>377914138
For once it helps orientation in space. Otherwise same way your vision works. Do you care about the sky being blue? Not really, you want to find prey and avoid predators - it's just a sideeffect.

Some deers can for example see uv and that helps spot wolves better because unlike normal light UV is not reflected by the wolves fur which makes them look like black spots on the white snow.

basically it's because artists are unimaginative fucktards who think everything has to have colors n sheeeit slapped on

really the problem is they can't come up with interesting artistic composition given the limitations of what they're trying to show, so instead of embracing the environment they're basically looking at a forest and painting the trees vomit-inducing pastel colors because "look i made it purrty!!!"

fucking idiot artists can never do anything right

So, we nowdays have many, many space games who try to imitate what Freelancer was. Does Microsoft Games or whoever now holds the IP not realize this? The market for this specific kind of game is huge. Am I wrong thinking that making an official Freelancer 2 is basically free money? Heck, even selling the original game on Steam equals free money without ANY effort at all. Who holds the IP/rights to this game and why are they so god damn dense?

>>377916705
BE MORE WRONG, please.

sirius region is a terraformed region of SPACE

Is there a single good recent space game that isn't a mother FUCKING MMO though? I want a good single player game

>There's this game that's an MMO but the campaign is basically single player
Not gonna cut it. I want a legit real single player space game.

>>377910132
Because space is just that, empty fucking space-- and if space behaved in games how space actually is, it would be terribly fucking boring.

There would be almost no contrast for relevant objects [ie: targets] and the direction of travel would be very difficult to ascertain at a glance.

It's an artistic decision, but it's also a design decision-- similar reason for why you can hear spess lasers firing in spess in most sci-fi movies and games.

>>377917302
Well there's Elite: dangerous, but I can't say it has a campaign, you just fly around space and do shit, sometimes getting into random encounters. If you're willing to go older gens there's X3, which has a bit more focus and Parkan 2 which does have a story, but because of it space sadnbox element is completely barebones.

Bastet t 10 HF is best ship.

t 6 cannot even compete

>>377917376

no, sirius isn't empty hard vacuum for a reason. the ENTIRE POINT of the nomads existing is that they're artificial creations designed and built/grown to do ONE THING. Terraform the Sirius region for their unknown masters. not just the planets et al, they're changing / changed the entire region

>>377917150
Surely you are joking.

>>377917227
Space is an empty black void and all the images of nebulas and shit are false color, often in wavelengths you can't even fucking SEE

any artist throwing shittons of color into space is doing it because he thinks space looks like shit if it looks like space and prefers space to look like a fucking pastel panorama instead of what it ACTUALLY fucking is

which is an empty bleak void of darkness speckled with trillions of little sparkly dots

>>377918832

>tl;dr : the post

dude, shut the fuck up. the devs knew space is a vast empty nothing.

that's WHY the nomads exist, fuckwit. whoever they work for cannot live in nothing. either read the thread before posting, or you know, ACTUALLY HAVE PLAYED THE GAME you're retardposting about showing off just how DUMB you are.

>>377918397
In what way is E:D a MMO? Because you have an option to interact with other players? That's like saying Souls series is MMO, because it has online capabilities.

Freelancer is a good game, but goddamn the mod makes it something crazy.

what a tard. STFU and GTFO.

Sirius is NOT 'normal' space in any sense of the word you fucking reject from reality, the devs made it that way for a goddam reason. you've been told this multiple times, to which your only response is ''nuh uh i'm not wrong you are wrongerer!''. at LEAST have an actual arguement to counter it.
