Yes, surprisingly good movie. And for those of you who don't like Bruce Willis (I know you're out there), don't worry, his role isn't the typical Bruce Willis kills everyone role.

quote:I think you are missing the point. The reason why most think its unlikely to happen is because its no longer viable from a financial and marketing standpoint. There aren't many, if any, publishers willing to shell out the amount of capital necessary to develop a product of this nature, for a very small market. In other words, there's no money in it. It takes a guy like SC who, as an independent, seems willing (maybe nuts enough?) to play in this niche area. Well let's see, if Derek can do it... someone else can too, right? That's all I've been saying. I'm not expecting ID to pick up a project like BC or anything.

quote:No, but being a smart ass will most likely get you banned anyway. So I won't try too hard if I were you.Well if I get banned at any other point in the day, when I get BCG, can I get another account then? No? ahh man. quote:And just because someone does come out with a better game in the BCMG style doesn't mean a dang thing just means we owe SC a debt of gratitude for keeping the torch alive for this kind of gaming. The thinking man's game.Well, I wasn't really trying to make this some sort of moral argument of gratitude towards SC, rather was just saying that someone could make a game influenced in the style of BattleCruiser. Though not many of you here seem tobelieve such a thing could ever happen, as if it were taboo to touch a piece of gaming pie, which imo, could easily be touched on more. I mean, I really like BattleCruiser, whether or not SC thinks I'm some sort of retarted kid, I still love his game, and will buy the next one... but who's to say someone shouldn't make a better game in the future? It's like you guys take BC and make it a "holy" game where none can come after it in it's place. Well screw that... if that's what you guys really want and believe in, more power to you, but I'll cling to my ridiculous hope that someone will eventually take SC's place when SC decides to quit his franchise.

[/QB] -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Right. Of course I am right I dunno know though, I mean, considering the growth of the video game industry recently, the amount of new people going into it that HAVE played BattleCruiser, I'm sure not even one of those people will ever feel like working on something like BattleCruiser, ever, merely because you did it first. (/sarcasm) Anyways whatever it is they (may) make, it'll probably be better than BattleCruiser. So do I get banned now because I must damn well be wrong?

I don't think so Diakonos. People have been ridiculing the BC Series for a long time now, whilst subtly but pathetically trying to copy the awesome depth and immersion factor that has been a BC trademark since day one (ie. BC3k)... don't hold your breath!! oh give me a break. Someone will eventually work on something with the scope of BC, maybe even bigger. MAybe not now, maybe not soon, but at somepoint someone will do it.

The guy belongs on E!, there he can give his valuable insights into fashion and makeup, where opinions from someguy means anything.

Are there any plans for any sort of atmospheric glow for the planets? I mean, everything looks so much better (textures, colors, poly count.. etc.), but the planets still seems really plain from space, especially close up. Also, we arn't going to see the Earth pop up in different parts of the solar system are we? I find that a bit odd. Also I'm new, and I love this game... really looking forward to an updated version
