Spaceforce - Rogue Universe [Experience the most beautiful, open ended space sim]

Fileplanet (subscribers) can get it now. Or you can hop over to gamershell it has 4 mirrors now. 3dGamers has it up apparently as well according to spaceforce 2 members on their forums.

Its 808mb.

Also its apparently out (full game) in the usa now. Some american sites showing as instock.
 
Downloaded and played. Word that comes into my head is...

Hmm...

First impressions:

- Terrible, cringewrothy narration. "He clenched his fist when he thought about what happened to his father, the picture in his mind smashing into a thousand pieces" :rolleyes: Just awful.

- Cutscenes are equally as cheesy, as are the god-awful in game voices, with tacky "Yarrr! Me hearties" accents for the pirates, etc. Its quite funny, in a bad way.

- Worst. Space. Backdrop. Ever. It looks like a flat texture on a wall. In fact, theres some dodgy fish-eye perspective going on, so as you rotate the ship its like being in a bubble, with the space background 'painted' on the inside.

- Space fighting feels like shooting from a turret. No space debris and a flat backdrop means there's no impression of movement, so your just spinning around shooting at pirates who never seems to really get any closer of further away from you....and that takes ages, with the crappy, pea shooter laser they give you.


On the positive side, the craft models look ok, looks to be plenty of depth with various jobs, craft customisations/attachments, a big universe to explore.

Maybe I just need to give it some more time. I'll have another go tomorrow and see how that goes, I was struggling to find out where it told me what the controls were...
 
ok quick question

when u blow up another ship and u tractor beam in what junk is left floating about,,,, if lets say u pick up a nice laser cannon, is it not possible to equip this to your ship?? can u only sell stuff u pick up?

havent played it yet, but you should be able to equip it at a port, providing your ship can be fitted with it.
 
This demo could have done with a manual.

Few tips press “,” to change weapon fire mode its much easier in pulse fire.
Fly within 300m of a satellite an icon appears on the left of the screen press return to active.
You can dock at both the large starbase and the smaller building floating near it.
Fly near the big ships moving around to trade with them.
 
Its within 200 meters for satalites. Well it was for me. Btw pop over their forums to see what i found out thats doable for modding also a cheat mod for those interested in such actions.
 
is it me or is there no objects apart from 1 or 2 stations in each section?

and only 14 flyable ships :eek:. although you can upgrade amour ect. seems a bit pants at the moment. unless I'm missing all the other structures.
 
are there are other things in space :). I'm slowly getting the hang of this game, however is there a fast forward button, otehr than warping to the main station?

travelling to the teleport things takes soooooo long at normal speed.

A well known Jersey retailer keeps listing Elite 4 as being released about 18 months away, but as far as is known David Braben isn't even currently working on the project.
 
He is working on it. He said so in a interview once i think. Elite style games dont grow on trees so he has been making other games to eventually fund the main development of elite 4. He has been working on bits of elite 4 all these years tho i think i heard him say. Also he has been waiting for the technology to get to a point where he wants it to be at so the game has what he wants in it.
