Guardian: Darkstar One Interview
Guardian writes: "Following on from my look at upcoming space combat/trading title Darkstar One I had a chat with Daniel Dumont from developer Gaming Minds.
Q: Why do you think there are no other games of this type on the modern consoles?
A: To be honest, I really don't know. Maybe developers or publishers think that gamers are more interested in identifying with a character rather than controlling a ship. Also, flying through space is a different gameplay proposition than a ground based 'run and gun' one and might be new to some of the younger gamers as this space flight sim genre is rare on consoles. However, PC savvy gamers are used to this genre and I am sure that pure console gamers would be interested in some space exploration. The Xbox controller works great and during our testing with younger console gamers we saw that they were absolutely fascinated by the gameplay."
