Back in the 90s there was a cool Six Degrees of Freedom flight combat game called Descent - anyone recall that? And if you do, you might want to check out www.descendentstudios.com for some upcoming information. DD
Now imagine battles of teams of 8 players each, and maps with more that 8 teams - add in mining, and drilling through voxels to create back avenues into enemy basis, and multiple ship types that are all upgradeable...uh yeah, imagine that. DD
I remember Descent. It felt pretty ground breaking at the time even though I'm sure it wasn't the first of its kind. Hopefully the new one is as much fun.
Yep, remember it. Buddy and I were just talking about games from our past. Interstae 76...Full Throttle, Ford Simulator (my first PC game).
I remember playing that game in my cousins basebemt, we'd always do 2v2s. Great game! Speaking of old ms Dos gsmes, never knew what to do in that magic carpet game
That is what the walls are for to constrain the combat. Either way - check us out at www.descendentstudios.com - we have a big announcement in about a week. DD
I just mean there were a ton of controls. What is the suggested controller for that game? You could move in the x,y,z axis and also spin, tilt in place, select weapons etc. I don't have that many fingers.
Mouse and Keyboard. Game controller Joystick Or combo - we will support them all, but I suspect most will use game pad. DD
Back around 1995 we used to play this game at the office during lunch and after hours. I couldn't play worth crap because I couldn't afford a good joystick. Well, that, and I suck at FPS, but the only reason I played was to piss everybody else off with the Mega Missile. I believe this was the game we graduated to after getting bored with DOOM.... it was a ton more fun than DOOM, IMO.
The Mega Missile is coming back ! And remember the plasma missile? You fired it into the wall and the 3 plasma bolts would track back to your enemy. Yeah, good times. DD
It was the only game I played on the first computer I ever had, a mac given to me by my engineer uncle. If he hadn't given us a computer, who knows when my technologically inept parents would have brought one home. I first pronounced it 'decent' because I was 4 and the first time I ever tried to pronounce Descent. Descent was pretty decent, turns out
I think that was the Smart Missile and it was one of my favorite weapons along with the Mega Missile and quad lasers.
