The Graduates

I have been looking around for a little while and decided to start asking on http://www.gamespot.co.uk (massive amount of forum members!) for a decent flight sim and space genre games.

Tom Clancy's HAWX (due to be released in Feb):

The graphics look AMAZING... true satellite scenery and well... just download the videos and look for yourself! Can't wait!

Evochron Legends (imminent release):

This game is coded and developed by ONE guy! He has a series going at the moment. The highlights of this game for me are...

SEEMLESS universe...there's none of the jump gates, cynosural fields. You use jump drive and can fly into the atmosphere of planets and land! You can even hide inside asteroids to evade detection.

Single player and Multiplayer - it's all the same! You can hop in and out of each others games, it saves what you find/earn/do in either mode. You can trade, explore, PVP against others, against AI in coop etc.

True physics - gravity, black holes, atmosphere, weather.

Customizable ships... with a nice cockpit view, with dials & instruments etc.

It supports a 3D virtual reality head tracker (6 points DOF) and well, I'm going to keep looking at this, as I might get one!

Head tracker:

Plus loads more features... go looky!

Infinity looks wtfawesome. They're do some manner of higher-level coding to procedurally generate stuff. And it looks fantastic.

Too bad it's not even in Alpha yet.

Nice... see the video where you go around on the planet with gravity? Then zooms out to space and the dust ring, turns into many many asteroids seemlessly? That looked very good!

Here's 2 more space games...

They're both in BETA

Check out images & vids

We're going to be spoilt for choice soon?

Going a little off the genre, what I would die for is a MechWarrior MMO. Sigh...

Hmmm...vaporware at the moment it seems...and not set in the FASA/MechWarrior Universe. Bummer on the last. But yeah, at least someone is thinking about a mech MMO...
