RE: Why is Space Sim Gaming so unpopular?
<t>I don't believe that Space Sim gaming is that unpopular, not with the gaming community anyway. . . I mean look at this place there are hundreds of active members giving feedback to indie devs on their projects. I know this thread was started to bash the mainstream publishers and I have to join in ...

Squad Wars Update
If none of you have seen it yet I'd suggest you sit down before watching it and for those of us beyond the age of 35, perhaps some incontinence underwear . . . . http://squadwars.endgames.net/prototype-ship-concept.html I'm sad but I could watch that for hours.

RE: Is there anyone out there . . Can you hear me
<t>Thanks for backing me up D1 and proving that it's not just me. . . I don't really want much from a game - 1/ A persistant universe where the choices of mine and others characters have a real consequence on how the universe progresses.2/ Up to date visuals that look real without going into ...

Is there anyone out there . . Can you hear me
<t>Is anyone else really bummed out by the lack of ‘Solid’ Space/Combat sims ?Ok there are the classics out there, Freespace 2 for example and the excellent X series but aren’t they lacking something ? I’m still bitter about the loss of JGC, I’m not going to make ...

RE: What's next from Egosoft?
<t>X Re-Birth looks to be the next move for EgoSoft. . . .I'm not sure why they're trying to re-invent the wheel but from some of the forum posts I've read they're looking to make the X series a little more 'Approachable'. I have to admit that the learning curve on most X games is a steep one but ...

RE: RIP Jumpgate Classic
<t>It was indeed a very sad day when the JGC server was shut down.JGC was the only game that managed to keep my attention for more than a few years, it seems most of the games I had affection for have either been superceeded by less playable games or just wiped off the face of the net.There is a ...

RE: Jumpgate
<t>Although many from JG (JC) would tell you otherwise the two are linked.I have no 'Official' information but I'd guess that the law suit against Gazillion from Code Masters has a great deal to do with them not being able to do a deal with community for JG (JC). So indirectly ND's and Gazillion's ...

RE: Jumpgate
<t>Seeing as all the JG vets are stalking on here, I might aswell join in.I've posted it on here before but ND should have stuck with the idea of updating JG rather than trying to re-create the perfect space sim again. Games like music can be timeless or very much of their time, who will be playing ...
