I wont say anything else than that this video footage is from MARCH 2005. The game is on hold since then.

Can you believe it ? Its just like with Invasion (tv series). Everything that is not 150% guaranteed to make money isnt worth [censored].

LINK TO VIDEO, 87 MB in size. Gorgeous.

yes, this is somehow a reference to the thread AC made

What do you use to play it?

What is the game, where is the website, can I purchase an advanced copy? I would buy and play this game even if it had zero depth of play, modability, and replay value. A game like this even in its first incarnation is bound to climb to the top. Assuming greed doesn�t short it into an early release mass production piece of crap!

You cant play it. There was once a game called Nexus: The Jupiter Incident where you had like 6-7 ships of different sizes to make missions. Meanwhile, you could salvage ships and ready your ships with new armament, shields and so on. This is video footage from the engine which was made for Nexus 2. Since the release of that video material in march 2005 the game is on hold, since Nexus 1 obviously didnt sell good enough to reason a second part.

President: Sarcasm, anyone ? The video material alone already shows plently of game depth and replay value imho. APart from that, there were some mods for Nexus 1, which included a B5 and a ST scenario.

Certainly amazing FPS (if rendered live), or movie material.
Unlikely to be tactical combat as we think of it around here; not enough ships, way to many polys, 3D movement, etc.

Most notably, there is no UI.

It's a superb space engine. I remember back years ago when they first released the 'Genesis' demo( it was supposed to be an Imperium Galactica game then, from what I remember ), which was a couple of years before the release of Nexus. The graphics were about the same, and not only that, the game ran completely smooth on my 933 mhz Geforce4 mx computer: the engine's got very good performance, considering the level of detail. I especially liked the way the game rendered beams and shields: too many space games just go for the old projectile-only style, and shield effects are usually badly done, if present at all.
