yes because clicking "orbit 10km" f1 is so hard and confusing to do. eve is pretty terribad actually, and is mostly eliytist snobs who just metagame and cheat (ddos attacking coms systems and spying is par for the course if you want to be "good" at eve.) the game mechanics themselves are just boring and terribly outdated, and the greed-factory that is CCP will just keep making it worse and worse so everyone goes and buys dust.
Hey come on now guys, cant everyone get along, EVE and this game are different systems, people who have trouble with EVE dont want to put the effort in to learn, and people who dont want to play this style of game just dont want to suffer from grinding and leveling (and all the people who play those kind of games). I personally love that EVE is hard and confusing because 1 it keeps stupid people fromk playing and 2 it keeps young annoying ass children from playing.
@lordofpie7000 nah, eve is good but combat is bullshit. gate camping was really fun and I still love the fact that death was actually a big deal but shooting red boxes isnt fun.
@A1R3D3E7 i agree eve's combat is bad and i like what ive seen of jumpgate evolution so far. but can this game really beat the scale of eve because some ships you could own were HUGE like the titan class ships?
BIOWARE why did you decide to do a Star Wars MMO when you already have the IP to something cooler, Mass Effect! Just look at how Star Trek turned out.
EVE Online will forever be the best space MMO! Message me with email address for a free 21 day trial... thats 7 more days than standard! I will send starter funds in game to help you a long. Cheers!
this is kinda like a more developed ace online/air rivals. though not for me cus it wouldn't be 4 free. and.. I don't like that it's all played out in wide spaced maps. no ground/terrain to swish through.
Looks like this game is most likely dead, Netdevil got bought out by Gazillion and they then pretty much stopped the development and disbanded Netdevil. Codemasters are now suing them because they put $1.4 million dollars into the game and they have nothing to show for it.
that large ship did not seem as scary as it should have been. I mean really it looked like anyone could have doged all of those shots without even hardly trying.
@TeamofSpeed on your scale friend. most of people find it confusing, boring, difficult or just annoying because 1) it's just not their type of game 2) the Tutorials are horrible so they quite before getting into the game [takes a few months] 3) totally different gameplay in the least of words and so on... I understand them. but if you can ignore all of these and just be patiant you might just fall in love. Its not for everyone, and thank god it is as it is :)
Funny. They did great with Jumpgate one which is still going. This is the full blown remake, they will get it right. Just like alot of the haters said this game was closed when there was no info for over a year, when Netdevil was backed up in production.
Looks amazing. True. But finally they will end up with amazing lag problems. I want to see hundreds of ships in a fight with smooth lag-free action like in this video.
@Fragem420 maybe its a grindfest for you cuz you suck in it? did you ever think about that? thats the risk you get in EVE, you can die if you are not prepared, and its sucks to die in eve. thats why its awesome. you get a real thrill out of it, and not just respawn somewhere and go back. but hey, eve is not for everyone, and thank god its like that.
@Polskmofo I am just saying if they have rebuilt the game this many times from the ground up and STILL have not gotten to Closed Beta how many years into development its at least going to be another three years before we even hear hints of a release date. Also what is worrying me is ND's Code of Silence. The only time Devs are so quiet about any game is if they are ashamed to show it.
Does anyone know the name of this old 90's computer game where you are in a ship, like this, but it is first person I think. You fly onto a planet, blow up ships and buildings, fly threw tunnels, and at the very end, you exit through some sort of jumpgate. I don't think it is this game though. You pick up power ups to help, and on one level, you have to beat this huge robot that is hard to beat. Can anyone fill me in?
Wasn't SNES. It was Windows 95 I think. Definatly wasn't Starfox. All I remember is that it was a flying game. At the end of each mission, you would follow your compass to the Jumpgate, which would then launch your ship off the planet back into space. My dad and I could have sworn it was called Jumpgate, but I can't find that anywhere, only this game.
really want to help. give more info: clarify: graphic type: 3d graphics? any particular details spring to mind? the most well know (but probably too old, games i can think of are damocles and elite. failing that have you tried searching gamespot or something? was it more flight sim or action shooter? how old were you when you played it? give clues!
It was between 1993 and 1997. I'm 17 now. What I can really remember is that it was more of an action shooter. You blew up (domed?) buildings to pick up powerups. You shot down enemy ships. The tunnels were the main thing. You fly through those and they might have doors that open and shut so it is hard to fly through.The one thing I REALLY remember was this HUGE robot that you had to fight on one lebel which was almost invincible. I could never beat it. And at the end of the level, you hit the..
Problem with space MMO is the size of the game. It's a huge effort to make it as real as space itself, so the ppl find other ways like this. Freelancer will remain a legend.
Can't wait for a next generation, newtonian physics based space flight game. Escape Velocity needs a remake in the modern world. Honestly EVE is nice, but not realistic in very many ways. Keep your fingers crossed for a free ranging impossibly expansive space game! How cool would realistic travel between earth and mars be with the occasional privateer attack? 4-6 month journey under conventional thrust would be awesome!
I'm not into Fantasy themed games hardly, sans Diablo Series. I really want a space MMO, i tried Eve for 2 weeks, and didn't hate it. But man way way to deep. I just don't have that kind of time.
this one looks like another to try, a but more fast paced, but not to simple either. Hopefully a nice balance with economics, building, outfitting, mining..but not GRIND style.
I suggest you take a good look around. Black Prophecy is also a nice space MMO thats to come out in 2010. Its also twitch based like Jumpgate but looks more like EVE.
Alot of the game's area's are going to be instanced though, but the graphics and gameplay video's up untill now more than make up for it.
Oh, one minor... Theres no station docking in BP yet, thats propably still going to be implemented though.
I am more looking foward to Infinity: The Quest for Earth, that seems to be more like Elite 2 and 3. If you don't know those games, well...shame on you.
I hope they will keep their promises, using the gravity of a big planet as a slingshot was pretty fun. And in some missions you had to enter the atmosphere of a planet to nuke a military base.
elite 2 and 3 was great and still the best, im looking forward to infinity although it's been in the making for such a long time that i doubt it'll ever come out.
i get a better feeling about black prophecy than this. it looks much darker and realistic. the ship designs in this remind me of 90's tv space operas and space games, ala babylon 5 and freespace 2. not that freespace 2 was bad, it was actually awesome, but the ships in that game had a quirky design to them, very different to what i'd expect of a practical spacecraft. JGE has that feel to me. black prophecy however hits the mark, although it takes a lot of inspiration from X3 i think.
Nobody will quite EVE for this game, its just way too different and has all the things we, EVE players dont really want anyway. AND it lacks all the things we do love in EVE.
its a complet different expiriance, so no, thank you. my money will go to CCP and will stay there.
D: If this is anywear near as good as freelancer this will be the ultimate MMORPG/Action game and probably the first I'll be prepared to pay month fee for!
No, I'm sure it was fun for a lot of people - just had to join a bigger corp to have that fun. I played with a small group of people - I was the ECM specialist, shutting down other ships. I was also the system scanner.
I remember one time I was in my T2 ECM ship (can't recall the name) and we had my nub friend "tackling" in a Ferox, and another fellow in a Raven with named Torp launchers (post torp change) and we took out a Megathron.
I also didn't fully appreciate EVE because of the RNG system when it came to shooting things. The mission system was fairly bland and I've never been much of a crafter.
We had a Starbase (small) but meh, I spent most of my time floating around in a Navy Raven doing missions.
When I DID get to PvP in my T2 Caldari ECM ship it was always a great deal of fun. Scan out an enemy, cloak and warp towards them, bring in your friends, get em slowed and scrambled and shut 'em down with some ECM.
There was Earth and Beyond. But it is long since died, the fans of that one are trying to make a fan server for it. But what can I say, I'm looking forward this this Spirtual seucesser to Freespace 2 and Earth & Beyond.
Can't wait to see what 1st person view mode will look like. I wonder how much voice acting will be in it aswell for npc's. I'm just hoping this will be as good as Freespace.
I am dying to play an action space game - I don't care if it's this one, Black Prophecy or Infinity: The Quest for Earth - whoever releases first has my money... so tired of waiting...
If you care more about the missiles looking 'cool' like some effect in wow where the actual missile doesn't correlate with exactly where it goes, this is not gonna be for you.. so don't worry.. go to the press 1... then 2... 3....4....1...5.... oh snap 7 type of play...This game looks to be about skill and maneuvering
listen up kids this is freelancer game play with mmo econimics skill wins not bollocks please all mmmorpg fans go away we dont want you you wreaked wow EQ2 VG AOC EQ even UFO bye have fun please dont come join us.
To a new player, the combat system i EXACTLY like WoW. The first missions you go on in EVE involve clicking on your target, clicking on your weapons until the target dies, then doing it all over again.
You can probably see why so many people make that comparison when they have obviously played the trial for a couple of hours and jumped to the conclusion that it gets no deeper than that, when it actually gets a whole lot more complex later on.
Good call, its been quite awhile since the starting of eve for me I started in 07, but you are right the beginning of eve is similar to the beginning of wow.
In this sense pretty much every mmo is the exact same *from the start that is*
@TheValiance Your lack of understanding of Eve's combat system does not make it a bad one. Eve is the thinking persons game. The enjoyment comes from building a ship perfectly suited to your purpose, and seeing how well it performs in that situation, as well as studying, perfecting and implementing the right strategies to win PVP battles. It is enjoyable to those who are able to appreciate it's complexity. Unfortunately for a lot of people, they are not capable of doing so. Y didn't you like it?
EVE's combat never seemed intense to me; it seemed a lot more like WoW's point and click type combat because of how before a fight you spend your time making sure your loadout is perfect, and then whoever's loadout is better wins. Games should be made so the underdog can still win, like it is in allegiance or freespace (kinda), rather than how it is in EVE which means if an enemy has a ship about 5% better than yours, unless he's retarded, you're toast.
@TheValiance I think you are mistaken, Eve's combat does not come down to how good one fit is over another, it comes down to the skill of the player too. The underdog can very much win in Eve.
I do not like your assertion about how games ought to be made, or the comparison with WoWs combat, you are comparing apples and oranges.
no offense to Eve - its as u put it, its a thinkin persons game best suited for people hoo appreciate the complexity -
which requires a certain kind of patience i dont hav and i assume the same goes for many in the gaming community - so dont be surprised to find people that may have played though the lengthy but shallow tutorial (despite its length it doesnt tell u everything) and assume to no wat eve is about gameplay wise and make retarded comparisons
I just quit my Eve account yesterday. Eve is a great game, but takes months and months to accomplish anything. I hope this game will have more action.
on no one i dont like this game(personal opinion) i prefer call of duty modern warfare 2 if i ever turn my pc on cause lately i got bored i dont know..... so yeah i wouldnt buy this
I am a massive free lancer player mods and so on this combat system is FL :).Remeber when we held zones and fought took taxes and escourted to make people rich well lets see the plat seller try to get past pistols zone im am ELITE.
Yes, it looks a little like 'Starlancer', but I loved 'Starlancer', and always wanted something as immersive as that game was. (I came from the Wing Commander legacy). Let's hope that J:E is as good as that was.
I understand the purpose of genres for devs but as a player I don't see any legitimate distinction between games. They all have graphics, audio, video, and networking (in MP) so, as far as I'm concerned, they are all capable of doing the same thing. This is a spaceship mmo- of course it's comparable to Eve Online. What I like most about Eve is how quick and easy it is to download, install, register and log on. It all happens on one website which is very safe and reliable.
"I don't see any legitimate distinction between games"
You, sir, need to play more games OR stop writing comments regarding them. That's.. like... whoa... possibly the stupidest thing I've heard.
/sarcasm on
I understand the purpose of medias for publishers, but I don't see any legitimate distinction between entertainment. Whether PC games, board games, books or TV shows, they are all capable of doing the same thing. Entertaining.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
lol You have no idea who i am or how many games I've played. The next time someone like me says something that sounds like the stupidest thing you've heard, just keep your pie hole shut because they're probably making sense on a level that's way above your head.
i agree eve looks like a much more complicated game with a massive amount of choices this one looks like the standard flighing and shooting game just with added feature of a million people
I didn't play EVE, just did the 10 trial period, and sure this game looks a lot more animated, but it also looks like an arcade shoot em up... that's not really MMO material in my book. Very limited gameplay and depth.
true it is more animated and it seems that ppl with the biggest stats gonna win all the time (like EVE)! the ability of the player counts more (what can i see from the videos)
consider it, eve is something else than this, stop comparing these games, they aim for 2 different player games, i personally play eve but i dont go around comparing them :|
I want to hear more about crafting, possibly mining, transporting, non-combat stuff. What will be there for guilds/corps?
It is all going to fall to Design to make or break this game. It looks great, very pretty. but I want to know more about design in detail. If I get into beta, it will answer many of my questions.
this and vendetta online are exacly the same thing

i get a better feeling about black prophecy than this. it looks much darker and realistic. the ship designs in this remind me of 90's tv space operas and space games, ala babylon 5 and freespace 2. not that freespace 2 was bad, it was actually awesome, but the ships in that game had a quirky design to them, very different to what i'd expect of a practical spacecraft. JGE has that feel to me. black prophecy however hits the mark, although it takes a lot of inspiration from X3 i think.

The fact that it's similar to X3 but online makes me want it even more.

Point, click, kill.
Fun.
No, I'm sure it was fun for a lot of people - just had to join a bigger corp to have that fun. I played with a small group of people - I was the ECM specialist, shutting down other ships. I was also the system scanner.
I remember one time I was in my T2 ECM ship (can't recall the name) and we had my nub friend "tackling" in a Ferox, and another fellow in a Raven with named Torp launchers (post torp change) and we took out a Megathron.
Then another showed up...
theghmou 2 years ago
I also didn't fully appreciate EVE because of the RNG system when it came to shooting things. The mission system was fairly bland and I've never been much of a crafter.
We had a Starbase (small) but meh, I spent most of my time floating around in a Navy Raven doing missions.
When I DID get to PvP in my T2 Caldari ECM ship it was always a great deal of fun. Scan out an enemy, cloak and warp towards them, bring in your friends, get em slowed and scrambled and shut 'em down with some ECM.

TheValiance 2 years ago
wow and eve are quite different in combat mechanics, i dont even know how you are comparing the two.
pyro3rg 2 years ago
To a new player, the combat system i EXACTLY like WoW. The first missions you go on in EVE involve clicking on your target, clicking on your weapons until the target dies, then doing it all over again.
You can probably see why so many people make that comparison when they have obviously played the trial for a couple of hours and jumped to the conclusion that it gets no deeper than that, when it actually gets a whole lot more complex later on.
GHudston 2 years ago 2
Good call, its been quite awhile since the starting of eve for me I started in 07, but you are right the beginning of eve is similar to the beginning of wow.
In this sense pretty much every mmo is the exact same *from the start that is*
pyro3rg 2 years ago
@TheValiance Your lack of understanding of Eve's combat system does not make it a bad one. Eve is the thinking persons game. The enjoyment comes from building a ship perfectly suited to your purpose, and seeing how well it performs in that situation, as well as studying, perfecting and implementing the right strategies to win PVP battles. It is enjoyable to those who are able to appreciate it's complexity. Unfortunately for a lot of people, they are not capable of doing so. Y didn't you like it?
inviktus1983 1 year ago
@inviktus1983
EVE's combat never seemed intense to me; it seemed a lot more like WoW's point and click type combat because of how before a fight you spend your time making sure your loadout is perfect, and then whoever's loadout is better wins. Games should be made so the underdog can still win, like it is in allegiance or freespace (kinda), rather than how it is in EVE which means if an enemy has a ship about 5% better than yours, unless he's retarded, you're toast.
TheValiance 1 year ago
@TheValiance I think you are mistaken, Eve's combat does not come down to how good one fit is over another, it comes down to the skill of the player too. The underdog can very much win in Eve.
I do not like your assertion about how games ought to be made, or the comparison with WoWs combat, you are comparing apples and oranges.
inviktus1983 1 year ago
@inviktus1983
no offense to Eve - its as u put it, its a thinkin persons game best suited for people hoo appreciate the complexity -
which requires a certain kind of patience i dont hav and i assume the same goes for many in the gaming community - so dont be surprised to find people that may have played though the lengthy but shallow tutorial (despite its length it doesnt tell u everything) and assume to no wat eve is about gameplay wise and make retarded comparisons

I understand the purpose of genres for devs but as a player I don't see any legitimate distinction between games. They all have graphics, audio, video, and networking (in MP) so, as far as I'm concerned, they are all capable of doing the same thing. This is a spaceship mmo- of course it's comparable to Eve Online. What I like most about Eve is how quick and easy it is to download, install, register and log on. It all happens on one website which is very safe and reliable.

I didn't play EVE, just did the 10 trial period, and sure this game looks a lot more animated, but it also looks like an arcade shoot em up... that's not really MMO material in my book. Very limited gameplay and depth.
