I was a wee kid who didn't speak nor understood a word in English. This intro gave me creeps just solely from the atmosphere and the voice actor. It was amazing.

"Sir, it's going to be fine." "No it isn't!! You don't understand.. you weren't there!" The delivery of that gave me chills the first few times. Great voice acting, especially considering the time it was made.

Nothing comes close to this game's feel...the attachment, the memories, the guilt and the helplessness watching a swarm of Shivans hunt down and destroy a squadron member as you weave in and out dodging the searing deathly beam cannons of two capital ships locked in hellish battle

you are a rank and file pilot you are not the saviour of humanity you are not the chosen one you are not the one who changes destiny you are alone against a cosmic horror with the rest of humanity (and their friendly alien rivals) this game is living proof you do not need to be a special snowflake to experience one of the greatest stories ever told you are a simple speck of dust in such a galactic scale they do not make stories like this anymore

many years ago i'll played FS1 and 2, and i'll can say than this game is one of the best game ever played, Wing commander and Xwing vs Tie fighter can match this game, but not in the epicness of FS, this game deservers to be redone, remastered and properly finished with Freespace 3, heck even Homeworld formerly are getting the third and final game, FS deserves to return to life.

...It's been possible for almost two decades with Freespace Open, which is still being updated to this day. It's been a long time since I played FSO, but to play the first one, I think you'll need the game assets from your original discs or from the Freespace Battlepack on GOG.

Why it’s called “Descent: Freespace”? I never understood what “Descent" stood for in title, because as far as I know, Freespace is no way connected with “Descent” games Trilogy

You're right, it doesn't. Apparently, there was some legal trouble with just calling the game, "Freespace." They tossed "Descent" in there just to avoid getting pooch screwed by lawyers.

Answer: There was a disk utility program also out around the same time called "Freespace" ... I know, it wasn't even a game! Nobody on the Volition development team wanted that, I assure you. It was purely an Interplay thing.

Freespace was originally supposed to be part of the Descent Trilogy, being set in the same universe, but rather than being that One Special Pilot with a special craft, in Freespace, you were a random fighter pilot that was part of the military. The idea of it being part of the Descent Universe was scrapped, but the tag "Descent" was retained both as a marketing tactic (Descent was rather popular at the time), and because of a Utility program called "Freespace". Notably, once Freespace 2 came out, Volition was able to drop the "Descent" tag, so it was just "Freespace 2".

So... One thing that was never clear to me: despite sharing the name, did this game have any connection to the Descent series with MD1032?
@jasonfenton8250

Not really. This was made by Volition, Descent was made by Parallax Software. Both were published by Interplay though. The official story was that they had to call it something other than just "Freespace" because there was an existing piece of software with the same name. No doubt Interplay, which published both games, was happy to put the name of an existing IP on the new franchise. After all, they were both sci-fi games about flying ships. An early story concept involved tracking down the protagonist of Descent so that he could help fight the Shivans but this was dropped. Freespace is entirely its own thing.

@@crowsbridge It does explain their motivation at the end of FS1. Shivans make sure no crazy genocidal race goes around wiping out everything. Mass Effect started off nice but the entire 3rd game is just a massive clusterfuck with the ending honestly being one of its lesser problems.

Astronauts don't generally encounter cosmic horrors that treat your best fighters like insects. Also as a former 911 dispatcher, I can tell you even the strongest people can break in life or death situations. It's not ideal but it's human.
