There goes my dream of an Agents of Mayhem sequel.

    Descent doesn’t get mentioned enough, along with the true gem, Descent: Freespace. Long and storied history there.

      I doubt any of the guys that worked on Decent or the Freespace games are part of Volition at this point.

      But damn are those games good.

      If any game deserves a remake/remaster, it’s Freespace. Doesn’t need much, just bring it up to par with Freespace 2 mechanics wise and polish the graphics a bit.

      No reason to change anything else.

      Some of the original developers made a modern version with Overload.

      There is also Miner Wars 2081, a criminal underrated Descent-like game from the makers of Space Engineers, has great story campaign, destructible environments and a lot of other really nice touches. Failed however on the mulitplayer aspects that were promised in the EarlyAccess thus lots of negative reviews.

      Freespace 2 with a force feedback joystick. When you got a bit too close to a capital ship’s beam weapon and the whole joystick started to shake. One of my most immersive experiences in a game.
