Kickstarter for space combat game by former Lucas Arts dev might not make it

Garry Gaber, known for this work at LucasArts on Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, had high hopes of bringing back the space combat genre in the same vein as Freespace and Wing Commaner. However, with just three days left to go, Starlight Inception is only a little more than halfway to its $150,000 Kickstarter goal.

Sad, reminds me of Republique, which might not make it either.

When have you seen a space sim on the PS3 this gen?

Not that I'm not wondering why the PSV is listed.

SKUD4790d ago (Edited 4790d ago )

I would love to see this kind of game get the support and released. Space action flight set in something like star wars world is of complete interest to me. Its very disappointing Lucus Arts never capitalized on it and just ended up making RPG's, MMO's and Lego titles. ALL OF MY DISAPPOINT.

EVE is just too damn anal. No pun intended.

Kickstarter and Vita - Has it Delivered?

VGChartz's Adam Cartwright: "As time went on it became clear that many of these projects were hobbyist titles and a large amount of the developers had never actually researched the practicalities of launching a game on Vita, leading to an ever-increasing number of cancellations over the years. And yet some delivered. It’s this I’m aiming to examine in this article – how many projects succeeded in reaching the Vita, how many failed, and how many are in limbo, as well as a conclusion on the overall state of Kickstarter (and other crowdfunding sources) on the handheld."

Top 5 Worst Games of 2014

(CriticalIndieGamer) Well, here we are again, choosing the mould from the gold(is that a saying?), picking out the cream of the crap. Truth be told, it has been another so-so gaming year for me. With the exception of a few truly stellar titles, it has all been a bit forgettable. But these abominations deserve a special mention. For crimes against gaming they have been deemed my worst games of 2014 – play them at your peril.

I would say as far as disappointing games go Watch Dogs is on the list but it's not a bad game just like Infamous Second Son which was disappointing compared to the first Infamous game.

I'll be doing a dissapointing games tomorrow! These games on the other hand are just ones I found to be flat out bad.

madmonkey013822d ago

i preferred this new infamous to the first one, infamous 2 has been my favourite so far though.

DragoonsScaleLegends3822d ago

I think the length of the story is what made it disappointing to me. The most disappointing games to me are the ones that felt like they could be so much better with more time to focus on story.

XanderZane3822d ago

Are these all PC games? Suprised they didn't include that Air Flight Control game. What a mess that game was.

TGR3822d ago (Edited 3822d ago )

NAh these aren't all PC games. There's a few Playstation titles in there too.

I'm going on the games that I personally played this year :)

Starlight Inception (SteamFirst Review)- In Space No One Can Hear You Vomit

SteamFirst: I have had some stinkers land in my lap for review. Games that I truly didn’t like for what they were. When this happens, I always try to find some positive thing to mention. I also find it important to note the potential lessons that can be learned from a failed attempt or even tweaks I believe might raise the game to a whole new level. These developers work hard and I don’t think any of them set out to make a poor experience. I write this to temper the comments I am about to make about Starlight Inception.
