As teased over here, this is just one of the big news for this week. Another is to follow in a day or so (once the attorneys get their act in gear).

Very cool though I'm a little saddened with losing the massive universe.

Great idea.
I for one think the injection of better graphics, tighter more (if thats possible) action oriented gameplay will introduce a whole new fan base for this great franchise.

BTW. Are you going to provide a version of KnightBlade/Final Flight for the Xbox2 thats being released next year? As i beleieve its not(Xbox2) going to be backward compatible.

Anyway good luck to you.

KB will probably be released for both Xbox and Xbox2. I don't have an Xbox2 dev kit yet (very few do).

btw - the KB shots page has three shots of Cmdr April Gage. I forgot to update it earlier and only just noticed it.

WOW!
Sweet man real sweet!
Great idea to make the main character female, also a bonus that shes easy on the eyes!

Will this be Xbox Live enabled?
Playing this baby multiplayer with voice communicators on Xbox Live would be awesome.

This is BEEG News!!

As for the next Battlecruiser game, hopefully you will be incorporating the inner workings of the ship in that game too... Heck make the minimum req. an Athlon64 Machine, we should all have one by then.

[/indent]The next Battlecruiser game (which will hopefully go into development in mid-2005 once the KB dev is winding down) will return to its roots. i.e. you will only have access to a single carrier and its assets.

The biggest feature is - of course - the entire carrier (as well as its fighters and shuttles) are going to be built internally (just like in KB) using a hybrid of the portal engine currently being integrated into UCE2E.

By the time it is released (hopefully around Christmas 2006 or thereabouts), everyone would have a Pentium IV 3Ghz or higher machine with which to run it.

[/indent]I saw the inner workings of the Battlecruiser.... that's pretty awsome, but I would like to know, are we going to be able to beam to other ships?

Resnig: I say we beam over there and blow their Nuclear reactor, I mean we only have about 5 more min. of cloak time, and we're too badly damaged.
John Dark: I don't know, our transporter is down to 70% operational status, you might get hurt, we may not be able to beam you back.
Resnig: You have to send me over there, we don't have a choice, I'll try to steal a shuttle to get back, heck otherwise just clone me!
John: FINE! Report to the transporter room!

[/indent]No. There are no missions that require it. This is a console game, so its mission driven.

Now everyone is going to be flying their Megarons picturing that schmaltzy bridge! I see a sudden surge in Megaron sales.

Great news on the games and wow what a teaser with that art!

About KB :

Are There battles between ships ? and internal damages like panel explosions or other ?

I´d like to see a transpoter room shot (if this exists of course)

"With access to all decks of the carrier in first person mode, the player is able to perform various actions"

Like taking a nap in the bulkhead, kicking Resnig out the airlock...those kinds of things?
