well they pretty much stated since the first announcement that the sequel would be pretty much a different game....people have gotten to grow on that.

the original SPAZ had several flaws but it was cool most of the time, havent played star sector yet, waiting to get my hands on star nomad 2 as many people has been talking about it....

still SPAZ2 got me hooked with all the simulation stuff. the original got boring without much stuff happening outside of the missions and random events. this time it seems the galaxy actually has a life on its own.

Yeah, but that was ages ago and I'd basically forgotten and assumed SPAZ2 was vaporware.

Instead I got a sharp reminder with the sorta-shitty 3D modeling and terrible camera angles that sacrifices all the good of top-down + sprites without actually giving us full 3D movement.

yeah that's something i havent understand yet, the original graphics and top-down gameplay were good and it worked well. maybe a few visual upgrades could been enough. the game could have been done the same way with 2D, and it may even become easier to do it like that.

maybe was because of the engine change. the original game was made with Torque, this time they are using Unity....

Been watching this off and on for years. The Space Rangers style territory, pilot, and faction mechanics had me sold when they were revealed, but the development pace is kinda glacial. I don't mind it, but I've written it off as "maybe it'll release someday". Even the statement of a 2016 release makes me assume November or something.

So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

it may be sooner, from the whole monthly thread they seem to be focusing on bugfixes and a few features that are left, so i expect something like mid year or even 2 or 3 months from now.

There's been mentions off and on over the years of them doing some kind of closed testing thing. I'd be really, really incredibly surprised if the game is publicly available before late July at the absolute earliest.

been outside of the forums for a long time. and well, posting each monthly log got boring for me.

however, i came to bump the thread because:

ITS COMING AT LAST!

the game is supposed to be released in May 17th

also, they released some videos about it, first the EA trailer:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MY_-rIzTMIc

and a gameplay demo video: (quite long)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=34G6moZ1BBg

that's it, i think i will wait to see how much its revealed in the following days. the trailer got me on a hard on...it seems some familiar faces will return, at least in the main campaign gameplay..

I'm look forward to this.  I might have to get drunk enough to break my "Only buy games at 75% off in 2016" rule...  Again...

Looks interesting, but I am worried it lost some of the sense of scale the original SPAZ had. The top-down view and lack of manoeuvrability of the bigger ships really gave me this gigantic space opera feel. Don't really see it as much here. Still very very curious. Loved the first game!
