Aye, Freespace 3 would be wondrous, I was just curious if we'd ever see a port of SR1 at any point. It makes sense that they can't go back to it though.
What are the chances of revisiting Saints Row 1?

I could've bought the Freespace Rights for what Interplay paid for them

Technically they didn't buy the rights, as they already owned them. There was some other legal tie between THQ and Freespace (I don't know what), and it was the dissolving of that which Interplay paid for recently.
We had some confusion in the office after that announcement too, since we'd been told THQ owned no part of Freespace and was never going to pay for the rights. Apparently this was true, beyond the legal tie - probably directly attributable to them buying Volition back in the day.
Crushed my Dreams.

hey, maybe im hoping rather than a straight port of sr1, i was thinking a remake to have the customization options introduced in 2
There are a lot of things we would like to do, but like Freespace 3 this is pretty unlikely.
I signed up for this forum just to show my support for this request! If we could get SR1 and SR2 DLC for PC, that would be awesome! If we could even get the source code to the original game and SR2 DLC, I'm sure the community would happily provide all of the work necessary to get it working. Knobby, please at least mention it to your manager and see if it could happen!
SR1 turned me into a Saint. I started playing it while in college, and really did help me decide to go into game animation. The contrapposto idle stance was unique (and, well, still is), and, while the running animation was pretty lackluster and without weight, the little additional animations (little hand movements while returning to idle stance, the reactions to buying clothing, etc.) sent my heart aflutter.
In three years, the game will be a decade old. Hopefully the addition of a digit will prod the original to resurface, even if our desire for it well before then cannot happen.

So sad that SR1 was a xbox exclusive.
Perhaps when the modding tools are fully functional we can try and recreate as much as possible from SR1 for SR2.
Or isn't that allowed?
I honestly don't know. GTA VC rage puts vice city in GTA IV for free and no one made a problem from that, so I'm not sure about this.
