Strike Suit Zero. Kickstarter title.

HonoredShadow

Strike Suit Zero is a PC game that offers fast and frantic space-combat, putting you in the middle of massive fleet battles where the fate of Earth relies on your dogfighting skills. You'll take to the cockpit of a powerful transforming craft known as the Strike Suit, where - at the tap of a button - your craft will transform from a traditional fighter, to a hulking suit of space armour.

Strike Suit Zero will remind you of the heyday of 90's space combat, whilst simultaneously introducing exciting new mechanics to make it relevant for today’s audience. To ensure that the game brings space combat back with a bang, we’ve brought in the best names in mecha and sci-fi to really put a stamp on the genre.

Interesting "There's no denying that some of Strike Suit Zero's environmental art is gorgeous, but if this floats your boat there's no shortage of space porn on PC."

Both of those titles look amazing. I always thought of Freelancer was a game that never realised it's potential during development, and now it looks like it will be finally be realised with Star Citizen

that one does look awesome, and knowing it's the same guy from wing commander and privateer made it even better.

Hmm. Another space game. Hopefully it is good. Ill consider it after i see some videos of gameplay. I personally would like to see Freespace 3 as a kickstarter.

Ill be picking up Zone of Enders HD for my 360.

Reminds me a little of Omega Boost on the PSX. I loved that game.

or GeForce FX tech demo/game GunMetal

Stone Gargoyle · 01-24-2013, 09:37 | posts: 3,383

Yeah man that was actually a decent little game if I remember rightly, from Yeti Studios I believe. No wait. You're right about the tech demo bit though actually.

Oh my.
Just add singing girls and it's Macross all over.

That's a compliment by the way.
Will check this one out; currently on sale for $16 on Steam.

i just remember it from my FX 5900XT days hehe

Stone Gargoyle · 01-24-2013, 10:33 | posts: 3,383

From people I know who are playing this they are stating that the Eurogamer review is utter bollocks and they think it's all kinds of awesome.

Bought.

Mr.Bigtime · 01-24-2013, 10:45 | posts: 16,732 | Location: Turkey

Bought it. Not bad. Somehow reminds me homeworld . Visuals & atmosphere.

Stone Gargoyle · 01-24-2013, 11:03 | posts: 3,383

Game won't even launch for me.

Seems I'm not alone either. The game just does nothing after hitting play.

Come to think of it anyone remember the excellent Slave Zero? Stompy robots!!

HonoredShadow · 01-24-2013, 14:14 | posts: 2,372 | Location: Shropshire, UK

I do! Loved that game. Loved the Dreamcast actually.

Game launched just fine for me; driver is on 13.2 unofficial beta, Steam copy.
Love the game so far; it feels definitely like Freelancer x Homeworld while piloting a VF-0.
It even has multi-monitor and FOV settings for those who needs it.

Stone Gargoyle · 01-25-2013, 12:39 | posts: 3,383

Word of warning people. RADEONPRO crashes the game and causes it to not launch. I've contacted the devs and let them know personally.

I can only agree on the third bad point. =b
It's a bit of a mix, though; not all of the characters have bad voice-acting, it's just that some of the main ones are rather memorable for being so stiff.

HonoredShadow · 01-25-2013, 19:01 | posts: 2,372 | Location: Shropshire, UK

I know what you mean. To be honest I don't mind a bit of naff voice acting. Add's to the game and fun factor. Especially when it's cheesy
