I reserve my judgement for when there is something that resembles gameplay and not a intro.

That's a lot of promises and hyperbole for something that will likely never be released.

Agreed. IF it comes to fruition, however, I think it's gonna revolutionize the space sim/mmo. This IS the guy who created Wing Commander, after all.

Then again, they also said that about Daikatana.

They also said that about Star Wars The Old Republic.

Looks really cool! Very ambitious project, and the ever-vaunted Newtonian physics. I'm very interested to see what a sandbox MMO with a single player mode looks like.

I actually like SWTOR. It's no Eve, but I dig it.

The problem with SWTOR is all EA, and this guy won't let EA or another EA-like company near his stuff. He's done for space games what John Carmack did for FPS.

Remember, he's a movie producer as well...he's not hurting for cash.

Going to be following this with a lot of interest, wing commander hooked me as a young kid and if he can do all the things hes talking about and wants to implement this could be really great.

-7 accounts. Goodbye EVE.

I wrote some true EVE stories! And no, they're not of the generic "my 0.0 alliance had lots of 0.0 fleets and took a lot of 0.0 space" sort. Check them out here:

The same thing was said about these 2 games.
Dark Prophecy
Jump gate Evolution


Dark Prophecy is going out of business.
Haven't heard anything about JGE in ages it may even be vapour-ware by now.


They were all moving in different directions (development wise), but a twitch based flight-sim has to compete with CoD etc.

Noooooo don't leave us! Eve will always be my favorite space game...I don't think I'll ever stop playing, even if this game pulls through.

Comparing this game to DP is like comparing Eve to a Facebook game. Watch the video.

I really, REALLY like the fact that he's championing PC gaming and eschewing the console trends. Notice the Saitek flight stick...I've got the same one that I use for Falcon 4. IF this game pulls through with its promises, it will revolutionize everything in space gaming.

I'm very skeptical of any MMO that is F2P or single payment(like GW2). Though another Sci-Fi MMO is always nice, so long as they don't go the same path as DP, which was terrible.

As am I. We have to be realistic about everything, but I see funding as the only obstacle. The guy did WC and Freelancer, and although that's not good enough to guarantee anything, it at least can allay any fears about him screwing it up.

Looks awesome! I hope it doesn't turn out to be vapourware.

I particular endorse the newtonian flight dynamics BearCool

I loved games like IWar and IWar2 and having the ability to manouveur in a newtonian way with real flight dynamics and thrusters to do some really cool manouveurs!

The fact that the link to the games new website is simply a 'donations' begging website kind of put me off for the moment.

This can go either way, depending on how you look at it. On one hand, I'm skeptical because of the donations, but on the other I feel it could be a good thing and keep all the greedy suits' grubby little hands off of it, such as EA. It will take longer to develop, undoubtedly, but once it's finished it will be what was initially promised.

Then again, I wonder if it really will take longer to develop. There is so much interference and meddling by parent companies and such these days that it ends up screwing everything up. Look at SWTOR.

Every single "EVE Killer" failed, like EVE is some super-hero chick with bullet proof boobs that deflect bullets (but that still look great in evening wear for a night out on the town).

The only potentially successful EVE killed is a group with a name that Starts with "C" and ends with "rowd Control Productions".........

Well,...
It is Chris Roberts...

quite simple if it comes out and is a real sandbox things will go their way....
