From Strategyinformer.com: "For all the love Privateer, Freespace and films such as The Last Starfighter command, space combat simulations seemingly deserted public consciousness around the birth of the last generation of consoles. This was not so much a ‘space simulators are dead’ moment brought on by the formula being driven into the ground, but rather a case of a whole genre put into stasis as the FPS rose to world-conquering domination. In the aftermath, most people forgot those heady days of thrusters, missiles and ion cannons, and those that remained focussed their efforts on remakes and updates to those classic games".
Everspace, Strike Suit Zero, and House of the Dying Sun are part of a welcome space sim Renaissance.
