    In fairness, it wasn't always an orange background.

    I really hope this has full joystick support.

    It would be pretty wacky if it didn't. Why anyone would go through the trouble of making such a niche, hardcore sort of game and then not make it work with joysticks would be beyond me.

    Definitely watching this one, have been craving a good homeworld/scifi flight sim crossover for a long long time.

    You're fighting pretty close to a sun there, that might have something to do with the color.

    Between Squadron 42 and this I think I will be able to die happy in a few years after having played both. This is looking so good.

    Nah. Outside of an atmosphere only the star itself would glow.

    Plus there's no way of actually knowing the distance to the star since we don't know how big it is.

    God damn!

    Talk about a renaissance in gaming!

    Chris Roberts, David Braben, plus the other Kickstarters like Infinite Space... we're getting serious space sims again, serious RPGs...

    Casual and AAA be damned, another golden age has dawned, methinks.

    Speaking of, Flotilla is currently 50% off because of the massive indie game sale on Steam.

    I'm really bad at space sims. But they're so damn cool. Enemy Starfighter has my money the moment I can pay for it.

    Just from these gifs and screens.

    Ahhhh, you don't get a tracking picture on the enemy until you can see him. That static effect is neat!

    I am not normally one to get excited about vidya games, but "x-wing + homeworld" sounds fantastic and if this game delivers it can have all of my money.

    It was that somehow, from within the derelict-horror, they had learned a way to see inside an ugly, broken thing... And take away its pain.

    I just realised the rubble in the second gif is the broken up remnants of the big ship in the first gif.
    I'm an idiot and also I need new pants.

    Oh man that is beautiful and how I had always thought lead reticles should work. It just looks so much more like what you'd expect to see as part of a futuristic HUD.

    This game is running out of boxes to tick on the list of SHIT I DEEM AWESOME. The big ship tearing itself apart is so damn cool.

  • GlocjtGlocjt catstronaut in spaaace.Registered User regular
    Hnngggg.

    Also, that's how lead reticles in modern HUDs currently work. :)

    Oh neat. I was always an IL-2 kinda guy so I don't really know much about more modern plane tech.

    That lead indicator gives me some serious DCS A-10 flashbacks.

    That's a good thing.

    I didn't like sprite based spaceships back when it was Wing Commander vs X-Wing in the '90s and I don't like them today, unfortunately, but the more space sims the better!

    They're all complex 3d models given intentional sprite looking textures. It's definitely gonna end up being a niche game for people who grew up with those old games and want to take a trip down memory lane, only with modern fancy effects.

  • TychoCelchuuuTychoCelchuuu PIGEON Registered User regular
    No, the capital ships are models whereas the enemy fighters are sprites.

  • BasilBasil Registered User regular
    Wings of Saint Nazaire looks neat, too!

    As a side note, if your into this sort of thing don't forget X3 - Albion Prelude. Its the most robust space sim game/sandbox I have played. Still a very active community doing modding so it doesn't really get stale.

    About the only problem I have with it is no subsystem targeting. At least it didn't last I played.

  • ZenitramZenitram Registered User regular
    That reminds me, I finally bought a joystick so I could play A-10, that means I should go buy Freespace 2 and get that texture pack as well.

  • Sir CarcassSir Carcass I have been shown the end of my world Round Rock, TXRegistered User regular
    i still need to play through Freespace again since I got a TrackIR
