A Sci-Fi Game to watch for
Jumpgate: Evolution
isn't coming out anytime soon, but when it does I'm going to try it. Why? because its a modern MMORPG version of X-Wing or Tie Fighter, that allows for neutonian psychics in space combat very much like the way human ships flew the television show B5.
The low down: Three Factions
1. The Corporation (Eg: USA)
2. The Honour Based Warriors (Eg: Klingons)
3. The Empire (Eg: Rome)
Every member undoubtedly at war with the other two factions. Point of the game? Fight each other, with smatterings of the usual fluff to make it significant and flavourful.
Combat will be Dog Fights. You will be a single ship, a single pilot that regularly participates in large scale skrimishes and battles.
Current build suggests there will be a leveling system. Leveling will not restrict co-op play. Not sure if Pay to play yet but I'd expect it to have a monthly price.
I can't stress how excited I am about this game. Definately one I'll keep my eye on. Time to seriously consider which side I've got to pimp out and sell, because I'm gonna want to fly in a squade with people I can depend on and faction schisms will complicate that.
