Battlestar Galactica Deadlock coming this summer!

[Silent Disapproval Robot]

Shouldn't it be "PEWP"?

I read that like someone with a Boston accent.....   

Tuna's narrating the forums now?  Wicked cool!

Anyway, back to the game.  I liked the engine for Star Hammer but thought the campaign story-line and adversary were pretty dull.  Hopefully this one will be a little more varied and interesting.

Fine.

PEWP

Could ships be flipped in starhammer? I cannot remember.
Also annoying in these smaller studio games that their is never any coop mode.

This is now off my wishlist as it is coming to consoles. Which can only mean one thing...

I'll be playing it on my Xbox :P

[Destraex]

Exactly!

[GDS_Starfury]

if I can already play the BSG mod for Homeworld why should I get this?

[Gusington]

So you can love it and make mirth angry/bitter?

[mirth]

That's more bitter/angry.

[Gusington]

Is that possible?

[mirth]

You wouldn't think so.

[Gusington]

I wouldn't but everyone here has surprised me before.

Graphics are like their other game... bad. If the game is like the other game this studio made then I like the idea and mechanics. But sheez was it hard to look at. Battlestar should be easy to make look good though.

This will be on console as well so beware. The devs have to consider what they do and don't do for that audience as well.

I don't think this game will have:
* COOP battles. This will probably be a 1V1 multiplayer game.
* The ability to choose how many guns fire at what ship. In other words the ability to split fire between enemy ships.
* The ability to roll over to face your strongest side to the enemy. I don't mean turn around I mean roll over.
* Realistic movement physics like the last BSG series had. That includes fighter movement and the ability to turn while moving forwards.
* Good Graphics. The last game's graphics were very sub par.
* Open World.
* Voice Acting. Their last game was all text iirc
* Ability to aim at specific parts of enemy ships??? Homeworld module like. Perhaps it will have this? They probably have a damage model but not a targetting model??

Things I think it will have that are good:
* WEGO - thank goodness it's not IGOUGO. Pure turn based games should be dead by now, we have computers for goodness sake. We have the technology!
* Z axis - YES, in space this is a must. I don't care what people say about most battles occuring on a flat plane.
* Based on the new BSG series. GOOOD! The ships in that series are much better looking and have more than just pew pew noises explained. The weapons variation is much greater. Missiles and rail guns as well as normal bullet travel iirc. No lasers. Computer system electronic warfare. This stuff the original did not have iirc.

P.S. I keep looking for my BETA invite, but I think Slitherine hate me, :). I have not yet been successfully getting into any of Slitherine's BETA programs but seem to have no trouble with any other company.
I suspect it is because I rarely post on their forums. Perhaps it's my history at wargamer.com or perhaps it's just that I am such a harsh critic.
