Enemy Starfighter = House of the Dying Sun = Looking good. (Destiny)

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).
Me, too.

I have played it, and it's really fun!

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.
A related note: C Paul Jonson leaves Bungie to work for...

"Hi Everyone. I'm pleased to let you all know that I've recently decided to leave Bungie and go freelance! And I have my first client! Wait for it... Wait for it... It's Bungie! I couldn't be more excited to be chasing new opportunities while still working with all of the great people at Bungie!"
HA! Awesome!

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

How dare you criticize the greatest Halo level ever!
You're right.

LOL
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 :)

... and they are on PSN and I don't have one.
PSN? I thought it was Steam only?

Rescind my entire statement
by BeardFade , Portland, OR, Monday, June 06, 2016, 21:41 (2939 days ago) @ CruelLEGACEY
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.
You got my hopes up lol
by CruelLEGACEY , Toronto, Monday, June 06, 2016, 21:43 (2939 days ago) @ BeardFade
I'd much rather play it on my PS4 :)
Gah...

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
by ZackDark , Not behind you. NO! Don't look., Monday, June 06, 2016, 21:47 (2939 days ago) @ Leviathan
But the gameplay is too exciting to elicit any complaints. Any clue on pricing?
$19.99 USD with a 10% discount at launch

PSA: It's out now.
by CyberKN , Oh no, Destiny 2 is bad, Tuesday, June 07, 2016, 15:36 (2939 days ago) @ Leviathan
Bought it. I'll give it a shot tonight.
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.
Much harder then Reach

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?

Yeah, that stuff.
