The series consists of two stand-alone games, namely Galaxy on Fire 3D and Galaxy on Fire 2, as well as an add-on by the name of Valkyrie. There are a number of different portings and versions of the game available, the most important of which are Galaxy on Fire 2 for iOS, Galaxy on Fire 2 HD for iPhone 4S and iPad 2, Galaxy on Fire 2 Full HD for Mac, Galaxy on Fire 2 THD for Tegra2 devices and Galaxy on Fire 2 for the Xperia PLAY. In addition to the versions already in existence, Fishlabs Entertainment has also announced that they will not only port their game to other platforms and systems, such as Windows and Symbian 3, in the future, but also produce additional add-ons, spin-offs and sequels, all of which will bear the colours of the Galaxy on Fire franchise.[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/yCvCK.jpg[/IMG] [B]Galaxy on Fire 2[/B] [I]Plot:[/I] [SUB]Taking place 35 years after the first installment of the series, Galaxy on Fire 2 has an even bigger adventure in store for Keith T. Maxwell than its predecessor. Catapulted to the far end of the known galaxy by a malfunction of his hyperdrive, the reckless fighter pilot soon recognizes that a lot has changed during his absence. Not only has a new faction, the freethinking Mido Confederation founded by Nivellian and Terran runaways and rebels, emerged in the meantime, but also has a new threat started to wreak havoc among all inhabitants of the universe. Coming out of nowhere and launching devastating raids on convoys and freight ships of all factions, the mysterious Voids are about to make the whole galaxy tremble with fear and put the unstable peace among the different alien races to the test. With the help of the clandestine Deep Science society, an equally secretive and progressive union of ingenious scientists lead by the beautiful Dr. Carla Paolini, Keith turns against the seemingly unstoppable alien menace and ultimately sets out to face the Voids in their own home world and end their reign of terror once and for all.[/SUB] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/d8ttY.jpg[/IMG] [I]Features:[/I] • A huge galaxy with over 20 solar systems and beautifully rendered planets • 100 unique 3D space stations and more than 30 customizable space ships • Unique reputation and diplomacy system • Story-based, mission-based and free gameplay • And many mores...

Maxwell has once more taken on his work as a mercenary and pirate hunter at the beginning of Valkyrie, the first add-on for Galaxy on Fire 2. Seemingly out of nothing he is contacted by the shady weapons dealer Alice, for whom he ends up risking his life in a number of dangerous, but all the more lucrative, missions. However, when he receives a distress call from his love interest and former superior Dr. Carla Paolini, who reports one of her leading scientists missing, Keith quickly returns to the secretive Deep Science station and investigates the disappearance of the grumpy but indispensable intellectual. And the deeper he digs into the affair, the more it becomes obvious that Alice has quite a few skeletons buried in her closet and that doing business with her will lead to your demise sooner than you might have thought.[/SUB] [I]Features:[/I] • Buy your own space station and bar, allowing you to place multiple ships in dry dock and stow goods and merchandise. • Re-release of three classic spaceships from the original Galaxy on Fire™. • New storyline complete with English voiceover. • New Vossk and Deep Science spaceships. • And many more...

Maxwell, in a very difficult situation. It appears to be no chance of escape in time for the inhabitants of the troubled area and Keith and the Deep Science society seem to be unable to evacuate them all unless they will get support from Nivelians. It's up to him to convince them to save the life of their foes as well as to fight against the resistance of a mysterious fighter squadron who try to prevent the rescuing of the Midorians.[/SUB] [I]Features:[/I] • Now with more playmode. • Introducing Space's Most Wanted Ships. • New weapons, equipments, ect... • New and awesome animated SkyBox. • And many more...

Something is wrong in the OP? Tell me by posting below. Discussion begins. [editline]27th July 2012[/editline] I'll post further infomations when they're announced. For now, that's all.

The ship just before 0:30, it's difficult to see, but it looks suspiciously like an Argon Nova from X3. [img]http://www.xdatabase.de/x3-reunion/common/_bilder/schiffe/111.jpg[/img]

I have to admit it does look like what you've just posted. That ship's name is Hera. Here, have some HD remake ships: [IMG]http://www.galaxyonfire.com/tl_files/en/galaxy-on-fire-2/content/game_ships/info-box-ships-galaxy-on-fire-2-space-shooter-sci-fi-trader-mido.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.galaxyonfire.com/tl_files/en/galaxy-on-fire-2/content/game_ships/info-box-ships-galaxy-on-fire-2-space-shooter-sci-fi-trader-terran.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.galaxyonfire.com/tl_files/en/galaxy-on-fire-2/content/game_ships/info-box-ships-galaxy-on-fire-2-space-shooter-sci-fi-trader-vossk.png[/IMG]

It's probably just a coincidence. Looks very purdy. If it does indeed have free gameplay, like Freelancer or X or something, I'll definitely get it. I'm just a little suspicious that it'll be dumbed down gameplay- and control-wise to be ported to iOS. But I'll wait until I see a "real" gameplay video before I start judging it.

The original GOF2 was and still is my favorite Ipod game, this could be great

[QUOTE=MegaJohnny;36953851]It's probably just a coincidence. Looks very purdy. If it does indeed have free gameplay, like Freelancer or X or something, I'll definitely get it.[/QUOTE] It does have freeplay between plot missions. Trust me, I've played this game for like 150 Hours.

Ok, cool. I think I misinterpreted this massively, it's out already on phones and tablets but it's the PC port coming in August, right?

Oh damn, I remember galaxy on fire on my old java based dumb phone. Was fairly cool. that said, this looks very much like the fighter from angels fall first. [t]http://press.fishlabs.net/en/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/Fishlabs-Galaxy-on-Fire-2-Supernova-Stealth-Fighter.jpg[/t]

Supernova trailer and delayed to September. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wwMLqy2a-m0&feature=[/media]

As intriguing as this looks, the combat seems pretty gorram slow?

[QUOTE=Useful Dave;36969748]As intriguing as this looks, the combat seems pretty gorram slow?[/QUOTE] Pretty much. But NPCs can and will use boosters if needed. [editline]28th July 2012[/editline] Also, it seems like The Void will make a come back in Supernova.

Galaxy on Fire 2 won't support modding capability. Quote from one official. [quote]Galaxy on Fire 2 Full HD for Windows will definitely not support any kind of modding due to the content which might possible be cracked by some weird guys. I hope you may understand that decision and our point of view as a gaming company.[/quote] Well that was dissapointing.

Damn. Has anyone found this shield yet? [img]http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x340/nmaciver/Galaxy%20on%20Fire%202%20Screenshots/IMG_0020.jpg[/img] It's a bra.

Jesus Christ just look at this guy: [t]http://puu.sh/NUN2[/t] He totally does not understand one single thing about "Modding".

Dude, his is weird. You're just in here, alone, talking to yourself. It's like one of those creepy forums from the deep-web.

[QUOTE=kenji;37120105]i played GOF 2 hd on my ipad, was basicly a clone of one of the first X games[/QUOTE] Still enjoyable to play, for me at least.

Okay, so since the Steam release coincided with my birthday I bought it for myself as a treat... It seems like being a tablet release originally kind of screwed it over a bit. Makes me think of Freelancer but with buggered up combat and interface so it'll work on tablets.

So long as its not nearly as complicated as X2/3 Ill keep my eyes on it. I hated that game, the fact you had to spend ages figuring out how the hell to play it properly turned me off instantly, because I am not nearly as patient as you need to be. The first (and last) time I played X2 I spent about an hour and a half flying on a mission without the speed up time thing activated. Never again.

Since the game became iPad universal, they just kept the black bars in the hangar like that. And they didn't decrease the collision boxes for the PC/Mac version. This was to make it easier for iOS players. That's one bad point of the game on PC/Mac. Hopefully we will get a gamemode where the pace will be much faster than it is right now.
