Ganertell staff writer Mark Rollins got a chance to play a few minutes of the upcoming space MMO, Jumpgate Evolution, at the Penny Arcade Expo 2008 in Seattle, WA (USA).
From the article:
"When I sat down and began playing, I was on a mission to shoot enemy fighters in mere minutes. The controls were easy to get used to, and it reminded me of the old-school starfighting of Wing Commander or Star Wars X-wing Fighter.
...Jumpgate Evolution has excellent graphics, creating a universe that is not just a black field with stars, but a beautiful place colored by nebula clouds.
The game takes its name from the Jumpgates located in several places, which look like a cross between the Jumpgates on Babylon 5 with the transparent water effect of Stargate."
LEGO Universe developer NetDevil has apparently laid off a large number of staff, with stories already circulating that the company has been closed.
GamePron is still searching for an official statement from NetDevil or parent company Gazillion, but studio founder and former president Scott Brown has called out to his former colleagues via social media.
Hit-Reset's Davejm takes a look at what has happened to the highly anticipated follow up to Jumpgate.
Remember Jumpgate Evolution? The space based MMO that promised some amazing space combat. So where is Jumpgate Evolution? This is the question Codemasters have been asking and so far they're still without a game. Legal action us now underway.
