Honestly don't think Me is worthy to shine SC's shoes.

dedicatedtogamers4135d ago

Considering how old the SC series is, I'm quite surprised that a studio - not even an indie dev - has not tried to replicate this sort of game. The combat was fun and arcade-like, there were a lot of different races but if you think about it, SC isn't a "high budget" game. FTL was...somewhat similar, but I'd love to see an indie dev take a stab at a SC clone.

BTW, SC is why I was a bit disappointed with Mass Effect 2 and 3. The first Mass Effect allowed you to land on numerous planets to fight and find items and mine material. In the back of my mind I was thinking "okay, this is pretty good, but I hope they crank it up to SCII levels in the next game", which of course, Bioware went the more cinematic, shooty-bang-bang route instead.

You need info my friend. It is now open source and hd remastered as the Ur- Quan masters. Download it free asap.

Additionally, a true sequel to Star Control 2 is in the works.

Star Control is awesome.

It's such a unique gameplay style that worked so well I'm surprised it wasn't copied more.

I'm aware of good ol' Ur-Quan masters.

What I'm saying is that I'm surprised no one has taken the concept and made a completely different game.

And yes, I know the sequel is in the works. Very excited about that. :)

Good games but no Phantasy Star?

merlox730d ago

Why do people forget Phantasy Star? That is one of my favorite RPG series. Another ther good but overlooked series is ,Y's.

ES3 set things off, it's a shame they got greedy and decided to cut corners so the executives could get huge pay days.

Better not bring back Shepherd from the dead with some half assed space magic.

Snowb420931d ago

If you get your readiness level high enough in Mass Effect 3, *spoilers* you can see Shepard taking in a breath of air under some rubble. It would depend on whichever ending is canon.

@snowb420.
Yeah I saw that at the end of my play through as well. I think they will bring Shepard back….. or at least a mutant version turned villain. Lol
