Thought we had a thread on this, ah well.

Anyway, it's an FPS being developed by Futuremark (of 3DMark fame) and it's set in the future in space.

Sounds pretty standard fare, except one huge diffence;

There's no gravity.

Have a preview

Indeed. It will be obsolete in the new order.

Anyway, more seriously, it looks like the people behind the article are concerned that this game might not receive the public attention it deserves.

Looks interesting though...

Some more info (interview).

Here's some seemingly important information;

Right at the end, they wrote:

It'll be DirectX 10 only, PC only. It’s a Steamworks game too, so we’ll be on Steam and lots of other places too. It’ll be sensibly priced considering it’s a multiplayer only game. If the beta goes well then it’ll be a 2009 release too.

DX10 only means you will need a fairly new graphics card, atleast an nVidia 8 series or ATi HD3 series.

Also, Steam - yay!

Sensibly priced for multiplayer only implies around a £15 price point to me.

Incoming fail on the level of Cellfactor: Revolution?

Skillers · Fri Sep 11, 2009 4:35 pm

Nah, Cellfactor was epic fail because it relied solely on it's physics, and hardly anyone bought PhysX.

I guess it would have done quite well if they had waited a few years, because now most Nvidia users (8-series and above) have PhysX

NECRO!

Now on Steam £15, (10% off atm, so £13.49).
