First hour of gameplay for Squadron 42.





Looks pretty cool. Still far from release though. During the livestream they played it live, crashed twice and had a bug that prevented them from advancing the story.

I still believe goddamnit.

There's still a chance. They'll probably go under and their assets and technology will be purchased for pennies on the dollar. Then someone might make Freelancer 2.

I still want FreeSpace 3 but sadly the IP is in limbo as there's no clear case about who owns the rights to it.
I played the everliving shit out of freespace 2. Such a sad fact that the entire genre of games like that is completely dead, despite the fact people seem to be willing to literally throw money at anyone who will make games like them.

X4 is pretty much all we got any more, and as much as I like to hear germans say cock repeatedly, its more an economy simulator than a space shooter.

I was going to wait for 4.0 but ended up reinstalling it last night after years of not playing. So much new, I was totally lost. I forgot all my keybinds for my HOTAS. I didn't even leave Orison, but got my armor, healing tool, multitool, armor, guns so I'm ready to relearn it.

I won't be spending money on it, but might as well make use of what I have since I'm bored out of my mind these days, and citizencon always make me a believer again even though I know what they show might never make it in game or is still years away.

I've gotten quite a few miles out of Everspace 2. It does have a mostly linear story for awhile before it opens up, and it doesn't have quite the complexity we want.. But it's doesn't go too far, like X4.

The average across all players is $143? I mean... that's a lot for a game, but not insane considering how much some folks pay for their phone app games.

First billion dollar game for sure. They should just employ ai to churn out endless ship models they can sell to their grand moff titled whalers until the end of time.

They don't need that. As long as they hook a few people making the laundering look legitimate, it can go on forever.

I watched a streamer play this like a year back? Maybe 6 months ago? He did a zero to hero run over the course of a few weeks and while you guys might think there is nothing to this game, there is plenty there. A billion dollars worth? Fuck no, but there is definitely a game there with multiple play loops from space mining, drug smuggling, pvp, space hauling, FPS base infiltration, ship vs ship combat and much more. Most of the ships people buy for $$ can be bought in game with credits. Only ones thy dont offer is the newish ones they release with a 6 month window you canot purchase in game, but they also eventually get sold in game as well. Most of the shit needs to still be fleshed out further and balanced, but the base of the game is there. Shit, looked more fun than Todd howards space shit.

The dude basically went from mining on foot, to buying a vehicle to help him haul, then went through many ships he bought testing many of the loops from ship vs ship combat, to space mining, salvage, FPS base ops, upgrading ships with better components...and so on. He played the whole game with giving them like $30-$40 for a starter pack which allowed him access to the game. Of course he didnt use the starter ship because of his zero to hero run, but that was his choice.
