From Ex-Bungie Mike Tupil. Liking the art direction, doesn't look too chaotic, and it looks fun! Especially as a huge fan of Long Night of Solace!

(For the uninitiated, my post title is referring to the original title of the game in development until recently.)

Really hope that this finds its way to PSVR...

A PS4 controller is already on the game's page as one of the recommended ways to play it. Space combat games are too few and far between (and often boring).

They did a really good job by adding the drums for the music. I was having serious Battle Star Galactica Flash backs. And I LOVED how they did space fighting in that show and it kinda reminds me of this too. Even the chaingun sounds of the space fighter.

Love the aesthetic, plus it seems to have a nice sense of speed (something LNoS was missing, IMO). Thanks for posting!

I was a huge Rogue Squadron / Battlefront fan, so I'm just used to a certain level of speed in my Space combat games. I adored LNoS, but I did wish it was just a little bit faster :)

Anyone else play Sabrewing 2? The lack of videos of it on Youtube is criminal...

I assumed what wasn't on Xbox around these parts was on Playstation. I'm not as hardcore as some of y'all and definitely showed my newb-ness there.

Flying on a controller just feels wrong to me. After actually flying and running an Occulus Rift P51 sim with full controls I have a really hard time remembering buttons and bumpers. Just ask Tiger how awesome my docking in Elite is, half the time my feet try to move the rudders and nothing happens.

Was going to complain about lack of House of the Rising Sun

But the gameplay is too exciting to elicit any complaints. Any clue on pricing?

Anybody played it yet? I have a question

by Xenos @, Shores of Time, Tuesday, June 07, 2016, 20:23 (2938 days ago) @ Leviathan

Where is it on the arcade to flight sim scale? I really like the feel of the flying in Reach because it's not incredibly involved, but still interesting. Curious if this is similar (somewhat more complicated is obviously fine), or if it's WAY more like a sim.

Avatar

Much harder then Reach

by CyberKN ⌂ @, Oh no, Destiny 2 is bad, Wednesday, June 08, 2016, 00:41 (2938 days ago) @ Xenos

Maybe it's just because I'm having trouble adapting to the controls after playing so much Elite, but I'm having a tough time. It's like flying a plane, but you have the ability to "drift" when holding down one of the shoulder buttons. There's no lateral movement or "trick rolls" to speak of.

Also, the game hangs for a solid few seconds when I transition from the title card into my ship, and it's crashed on me twice now. :(

What do you mean by "trick rolls"?

I assume he's talking about the sort of things you can do in Banshee by hold "A" and a direction on the thumbstick. Barrel rolls and backflips and such. I don't actually remember Long Night of Solace all that well, but didn't the Sabre have similar moves?
