Video trailer

Now, if it weren't for the fact that Codemasters has a reputation for cranking out shitty, bug-ridden, low-budget crap, I would be poking my eye out with my boner over this. I am a huge fan of space combat sims, I loved the shit out of EVE even though it was boring as fuck, and this looks like EVE without the worst parts (gameplay) and with the best parts of a space combat sim added.

The in-game footage looks promising as well. Thoughts? What's the buzz on this?

Amazing in-game footage

I signed up for the beta months ago. I guess that's where it's at now. I'll hold my judgement on that game 'til it comes out. It does look good though. I'll stick with the seemingly similar Vendetta Online 'til then.

I'll take a look at it if they have a free trial..

I'm a bigger fan of flying capital ships than piddly little fighters.

Wait a minute, I remember this being terrible for some reason. Isn't this just another zero-budget, item mall, korean grindfest in space?

No. This is an American made game that's still being improved and developed by 4 guys from Milwaukee (spelling?).

I wonder how long JGE's trial will be when it comes out? Vendetta's trial is only 8 total play hours...

I remember now why I thought Vendetta was terrible; because I played it and it is terrible.

This gamespot review seems to promise a much better game out of Jumpgate. All I can do is sign up for beta and wait, I guess.

Have you played it now? I find the PvP to be enjoyable at least.

Yes, but I have a particularly low tolerance for 3d games that feel "homebrew" so I may be unique in my dislike.

I know the feeling. I'm just playing it to tide me over 'til JGE comes out. Then again I just resubscribed to WoW just to play as a soloing Holy Priest again.
