Cool, but the graphics could use some polishing.
Neat. I might actually but it, in that case. I've never really been a big fan of space games because they're always either only FPS, or only spaceship dogfight, etc.
Good god, that one online session could be rewritten into a full fledged campaign for another game.
Full AI support has me interested, last time I got to do shit on my own with a army bots was in BF2
AFF: Universe games , more of them needed on STEAM
Looks quite good, it has some really interesting ideas.
Their UI needs some love. Other then that it looks pretty fun! I'll be keeping an eye on it.
Those attempts at merging widely different gameplay styles into one game typically fail because they're trying to do too much with not enough time. I'll remain cautious until I get to actually play it.
I remember playing this back in 2012-13 when it was a mod. Game was AMAZING back then.

[QUOTE=Ganerumo;46960199]Those attempts at merging widely different gameplay styles into one game typically fail because they're trying to do too much with not enough time. I'll remain cautious until I get to actually play it.[/QUOTE] I've played loads of hybrid genre games and I've never really found any that weren't fun. I played Empires, Eternal Silence, RenegadeX, and Battle for Newerth and they were all really good games despite crossing multiple genres.
I can't wait to see more on this title - looks promising.
Battlezone 1-2 are a good mix of RTS and FPS. I've only played BZ2 so I can't vouch for 1

Always wondered why it never had any players despite receiving so much passionate work.
As excited as I should be about this type of game, I'm wary; I've not had good experiences with prerelease hype in the past few years.
Game sponsored by Nightwish.
If this game flops, can we call it Angels Fall Flat? Seriously though, looks pretty daaaamn cool.
[QUOTE=Dr.C;46960955]Battlezone 1-2 are a good mix of RTS and FPS.

I sooo much want a game like this! It remembers me a lot of Eternal Silence, and that game was awesome!! Played at least 600 hours of it
Never played it as a UT3 mod but when it went standalone on UDK I played it, and it was incredible. Me and my friends pretty regularly did botmatches and there's nothing quite like being in a dinky little fighter ship when a gigantic monster of a ship comes around an asteroid and obliterates half your team with a giant laser :v: [sp]and then you board that ship and stab everyone like a space pirate[/sp]
