Freedom Fighters provided a fast paced and strategic thrill ride. It unfortunately, also ended on a rather big cliffhanger, with only NYC having been liberated. When news that IO Interactive was looking for a multiplayer developer for a yet unannounced third person title "with strong cooperative multiplayer elements," there was some speculation that a sequel was on the way. IO Interactive has remained mostly quiet on the subject, but does seem to be aware of the demand, and despite eschewing previous plans for Freedom Fighters 2 in favor of Kane & Lynch development, representatives have said recently that a sequel is something they're interested in doing.
With a huge library of canceled games for the PS2, just like the PS1, there’s plenty of unanswered questions of what could have been when it comes to the PlayStation 2.
Okay these games need to come out either steam, kickstarter or selling the rights or code in your old hard drives or give permission for smaller studios to do these games. Starcraft ghost cough Blizzard.
Canceled ps2 game list without scarface 2. Wtf.
Speaking. Anyone have a fat ps3 available with complete backwards compatibility hit me up in dm I'm looking for one.

Nightmare Creatures3! Was there a Nightmare Creatures2 I’ve been unaware of all these years?
BY JAMES BELL: Gaming in 2003 was the best. I won’t hear anyone say otherwise, it just was. Gorging on a gaming diet of Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, Halo 2, Fable, and Devil May Cry 2 on my consoles, and “Hey Ya” by OutKast playing on my hi-fi. Bliss.
Whether you were gaming back then or not, you may have missed one of the most underrated games of 2003: Freedom Fighters. Developed by IO Interactive, the studio behind Hitman, Freedom Fighters deserves a lot more recognition for its interesting setting and fun gameplay that holds up to this day.
Oh man, I remember playing this on Gamecube. I picked it up at random used from Gamestop and I couldn't put it down, from start to finish. I'm sure if I went back to it now, the nostalgia wouldn't hold up. I'd like to see it reimagined for sure!
I loved this game on gamecube. It actually got a steam release and boy did it....not age well lol.
Changing the controls using an emulator make this just about playable, if I remember correctly aiming properly requires you to hold the stick down which is awful.
I tried the game about 2 years ago on Xbox, and yeah, the controls were un-playable for me. I can't remember why the controls were so bad, but I stopped after about 15 minutes, it was just terrible. Also the intro story was so darned goofy and contrived, we go from calm NYC to full scale invasion within 60 seconds.
An emulator may fix that, perhaps I'll try it on PCSX2 or Dolphin.
Yeah very weak story. I enjoyed the game as a kid but going back to it a few years ago was quite the eye opener. However there is fun to be had in the split screen multiplayer. 2-4 player hold the flag objective where you can recruit up to 8 NPCs each. Unique in that way. Got a few fun plays out of that and laughing at the jank is part of it.
The month of October is going to be filled with excitement as the Hitman franchise is commemorating its 25 years of being in the business.
It’s the 25th anniversary this year?
I’d have assumed it would have gotten something like a remastered trilogy of the original games or a remake of the first game. Something for a 25th celebration.
Super lacklustre
This is one game that deserved a sequel. The first game was so much fun and I'm pretty it sold well considering it was on four platforms.
Who knows but can we all say ABOUT DAM TIME! Gaming companies really need to start listening to the customers for a change. They might...oh I don't know make more money. It's crazy I know listening to people who want to buy your product? It's madding just to think sales could skyrocket if they just listen to the consumer.
Freedom Fighters was an amazing game with a gripping story. I hope they stop making Kane and Lynch games and start coming out with freedom fighter games. If you never played freedom fighters you have missed out on a gem
Well, considering how the first one ended, making a sequel would make a lot of sense. Plus, it was a great single player game (the multiplayer wasn't so great).
And to hongkongphooey, I'd say we can get both. The Kane and Lynch games might not be loved by all, but I for one like them, the first one had a better story, the second one had better gameplay and really, these are two game characters I actually care about when playing their game.
Awesome news, Freedom Fighters was such an underrated game! I loved every second of it. Always wanted a sequel out ot this game!
