Title: Any new sci-fi games?
Post by: Valkyrie on January 04, 2003, 04:22:12 pm: Sorry for posting about this in here... but I think this is the right board, if not; Moderators please move\delete thread. Ok?

So... just wondering if there are any new cool csi-fi games similar to Freespace coming out that might be worth taking a look at. I already got my eyes on Aquanox: Revelations (//www.aquanox.de) but I want a space-sim too!!!

It's boring not to have anything to do at college... :sigh:

P.S. How come I can't have any avatars?

Post by: Stryke 9 on January 04, 2003, 05:09:22 pm: Exactly. Look how few projects here survive to completion- companies are a bit better, because they need to make money, which they can only do by finishing projects, but that just means about 50% might see release someday.

Post by: Knight Templar on January 04, 2003, 05:11:10 pm: Well we seem to have a good survival rate, but not a great productivity rate.

4 Out of 6 of my involved projects have or are going to release stuff in the next month or so, so it ain't too bad.

Post by: Stryke 9 on January 04, 2003, 05:12:52 pm: If by "survival" you mean how few are OFFICIALLY canceled. However, I think it's safe to consider a project nobody's really done anything at all on for three months dead.;)

I thought he was asking about games, not examples of how to do everything wrong in a piece of entertainment software (rule #1: listen to the customers)
