SOL: Exodus | Video Game Review

A new, inexpensive downloadable title that harkens back to the glory days of Wing Commander and Star Wars: X-Wing Fighter.

Jeff, Dan, and Alex have often pined for the days when the space combat sim was a popular genre of PC games. Their fond memories of Wing Commander, Freespace, and X-Wing vs Tie-Fighter are called into question this week, as a new game in that long-forgotten genre hits Steam. SOL: Exodus from Seamless Entertainment is very much in the style of those old games, but can it re-capture their joy?

so basicly those guyz are just... dumbs, ok.

"Slide" function is great but is totally NOT new to those who played "Freelancer". Just sayin' ;)

@Warpath2198 Fail. I'm probably a couple of decades older than you assumed and have been gaming since Pong.

Game devs cater to their markets, just as they should. There is a misconception about certain titles on PC designed to work on mid to low end PC's and notebooks which are labeled by the top 1% who own supercomputers as being console ports. You're not one of those with dual GPU's expecting the world to revolve around you, are you?

The guy that keeps running his mouth is too young to even remember the space genre.

@jgbloyd I don't think you played any space sims. Fleet battles in space followed by a story line was amazing in the series. As soon as the knuckle draggers were able to afford a computer and the internet; companies quickly changed to cater to idiot class of player that eventually migrated to overpriced PC's known as consoles.

@twincast2005 Freelancer baddies like you can't play the old space sims lol. Eye/hand coordination escapes you.

[Warpath2198]

@YourDeathNoob No it was not even in the same genre. I'm not sure why so many kiddies think a 3rd person view of a ship like free lancer is a "space sim". Wing commander, X-wing series, Tachyon, Starlancer, and Freespace were space sims.

15 minutes of douchebags flaming each other

nobody cares about ben heck

[YourDeathNoob]

FreeLancer was one of the greater space Sim game.
