Default Re: Sword of the Stars? (New 4x game apparently)

Perhaps the engine is based off the engine Imperium Galactica II: Alliances was using. Which was an amazing engine. Too bad they never did anything with it. The demo was they best space combat I had ever seen. The only problem was that you thought you were watching a movie as it was unfrigging unreal how amazing it looked. Unfortantly the developers never did anything more with it...

Hopefully this game will not join that famous list of space games that were never finished.

As all space games are great.... Even if they are bad

What was supposed to be the next game in the Imperium Galactica line, is now on the market as "Nexus: The Jupiter Incident". And even though I saw only still screenshots, my god, that looked friggin amazing. Heck, you can even mod it! I read about a HW2 mod for the game once!

I do believe Nexus:JI is either released or finishing development, I saw boxes for it at Bestbuy, don't know if they were Pre-Order ones or the real deal.

Nexus: the jupiter incident is amazing. I just got it a couple of weeks ago and the graphics are awesome. It does take a little while to get used to the game engine, but the whole way teh game works is very neat.

Anyone know when it might be out? Looks like it could be something I would like.
