Rebel Galaxy Outlaw

[sscadmin]

Outlaw does look good, I will be interested too see what the community and the developer does with this while I wait for this to hit stream. The game isn't breaking new ground but it definitely looks very playable and if it allows freedom in modding like in Freelancer this game could be around a long time.

Here is a nice review for Rebel Galaxy Outlaw

[D.C.Elington]

Indeed thanks. Not so enthusiastic with the optimization for gamepads but I'll keep an eye on it.

Yeah the devs said it would be best played with a gamepad, probably because it was also being designed for console at the same time. I am not a developer so I don't know the difficulties of implementing control schemes and supporting them and balancing them across multiple platforms. But I would have expected decent mouse/keyboard support. But I have a gamepad too because some games do play well with them and when I do finally play outlaw I will try both methods to see which one I like best.

But hopefully modding will be really supported by the devs and this game game and its content can really grow over time. And maybe if there is enough feedback that the devs might focus a patch on PC controls.

They posted a vid about mouse control for the game a couple of days ago, probably going to buy this on the PS4 so I'm happy with the gamepad.

Bought it, and from what I can tell it's an updated version of "Privateer". I prefer my joystick (Logitech Freedom ) to gamepad, like the old times!!!!!!

Does it support flightstick and throttle at all CaptianKal? I am sure you had to spend a few hours mapping all the controls ...

But I do see why more and more devs not supporting the flightstick any more, it is really a hardcore gamer control and the audience for it is getting smaller and smaller because of consoles and the technology behind the controllers. I will admit it has been years since I used my flightstick, I have the controller sitting right here and it gets the job done. But the flightstick does give you a lot better immersion feel that I miss in most games.

We will see what the next few months bring.

Yes! I 've seen profiles for Thrustmaster Warthog.

And no I didn't spend any hours mapping the controls. The Logitech Freedom is my pick up and play flight stick, since it's cordless, and supports throttle and rudder functions. For simple sims like Wing Commander or X Series or Outlaw, it is perfect.

If I need something more powerfull then I also use a Thrustmaster Cougar. But in this case, yes I might create a 200 lines script to just to play a game (Strike Fighters, Elite:Dangerous and Freespace comes to mind)!!!

Here is the latest patch notes, from reading the development map on the website (cause epic games store has absolutely no news sections grrr) looks like PC development has basically stopped so the team can put out a PS4 and Switch release. Only emergency patches will be made for the PC if it is necessary. Once that is done they will probably be working on a DLC and mod tools. Well least when this game is done it should be rock solid and have everything  [url]https://rebel-galaxy.com/patch-notes-september-26th-2019/[/url]

Will be looking out for the PS4 version of this.

[Pinback]

Vid showing the build for the Switch, nuts to the Switch where's the PS4 version.

[sscadmin]

Maybe they are getting paid extra to put on Switch first? To me the gfx looked a bit different?

[Pinback]

Bar game on the switch, boy I was hopping the PS4 version would be out by now, but it looking like it's going to be some time next year, might as well just wait for the steam release of the game.

[Pinback]

Just looked the website and they mention that they are working on the trophies, so with some luck we may see a console release soon, knowing my luck I will look at in this in 6 months and the game will still not be out. Also was mentioned an Xbox version of the game, maybe that has accounted for the delay. 

[Pinback]

Not a release date more of a window, maybe? anyhow it might be March for the console versions of the game. They also mention that we should see the Steam version around August but unfortunately no mention of a GOG version of the game and dlc for all version sometime late 2020.[url]https://rebel-galaxy.com/rebel-galaxy-outlaw-development-roadmap-january-2020/[/url] And I have no idea why that link post a picture link WHAT’S DONE: EGS Launch, Free Content Updates
The PC version of Rebel Galaxy Outlaw launched on the Epic Games Store August 13th, 2019. We’ve also added additional content, including ships and a new training mode that will also be found in the console version. Development on the PC version will continue once we’ve got the console versions out the door. Steam is still on track for around August 2020 — we’ll revisit this around July to begin nailing down a firm date. The Steam version will have achievements.WHAT’S NEXT: Console Ports Nearly Here
We’re essentially feature complete on our PS4 and Switch versions of the game, and rapid work continues on the Xbox One version. Lotcheck and rating are coming next for all three versions, and we’re going to have separate news items on each for those unfamiliar with the process behind each of those. Broadly speaking, the absolute earliest the console versions will hit is March, but if we hit any snags in ratings or a failed lotcheck, it could be later. As soon as we have a firm release date, we’ll be shouting it loud and clear on our Discord, Twitter, and Facebook so be sure you’re following at least one of those!

Posted by: @geraldine Wait until it lands on GOG.I second that. Funny that I have Rebel Galaxy installed for a couple of years now and never got around to playing it... though I'm getting hyped to fire it up now.

[sscadmin]

You would think that the Xbox port of the game would be the easiest to do since the xbox does run windows 10 but for some reason I hear this type of thing a lot about porting to Xbox.... It must be a hardware thing that is specific to the xbox.I have Rebel Galaxy as well which I haven't played yet I been kicking around for years doing some youtube videos but never get the nerve to do it hahaI believe RG:O is still waiting on the mod tools as well, so that will probably help this game a lot when those come out and modders work their magic.

[sscadmin]

Well here is a little news on Rebel Galaxy Outlaws...
- Its still coming to Steam in August
- All of the console ports have been completed
- They are working on the modkit and hope to have it out before the end of the year

Looking on the steam forum for the first game and it looks like it's going to be next month before we see it.

[Pinback]

And the game finally has a Steam page [url]https://store.steampowered.com/app/910830/Rebel_Galaxy_Outlaw/[/url] and a release date of the 22nd of Sept all being well, Not seen any mention of the console versions of the game.
And the whinging about the game has already started on the Steam forums.
