Starflight 3 - Coming Soon to Fig
- Thread starter Silver
- Start date
Now this is interesting.
I was a huge fan of the first - the second one was pretty much more of the same, but the "spiritual sequel" (Protostar) left me disappointed. It had atmosphere and staple gameplay, but the unnecessarily complex control scheme totally ruined it.
For you youngsters: Starflight was the game the original Mass Effect unadmittedly "took inspiration" wholesale. A damn fine game.

I spent quite a few hours playing Starflight on the Sega Genesis back in the day. I'm not sure if that port was vastly different from the PC version, but I don't recall it being very RPG-ish.
Not sure if this is something I'll back, but I'm mildly interested.

Genesis port: it is the superior version. The user interface and graphics were much more better than the PC version's.
Not an RPG: well it depends. Nowadays, when the industry calls Tomb Raider an RPG, Starflight's versatile crew recruitment, ship outfit and alien negotiation systems pretty much qualifies for an RPG

Never played Starflight - which I regret, because it looks like something I would have enjoyed.
However, I'm not sure this will hold my interest these days. Looks a little light on the kind of stuff I tend to care about.

Isn't this game in response to Star Control: Origins? Was the Legal battle settled.
Maybe I'm thinking of another game from earlier this year.

Nah.. completely different series.
Yes I said so below the video.
It's getting had to tell all these games apart when they are basically the same.
Anyway I meant this legal battle which is for a similar but different game.

I'm interested to see how the diplomacy hashes out. The original game allowed you to talk to aliens in different ways. Obsequious (sucking up) was always amusing but you could also be friendly which caused some aliens to outright disrespect you or sometimes attack.
I'm glad trading on planets is still present. It was helpful to come up with a spreadsheet to work out the optimum buy/sell for different planets goods/parts/exotics/animals etc. Something I imagine this new game will do for you to some extent.

Holy-moly! Couldn't find a game after Mass Effect 1-3, Andromeda is junk. But this genesis port gameplay is fun to watch!!!

I spent quite a few hours playing the prior iterations of this series, so I'll be checking out the pitch and seeing if its worthy of tossing a few bucks their way. Another good space game would be quite welcome in my world.

I had completely forgotten about Starflight, but after refreshing my memory via YouTube, I remembered Starflight 2 as being fun, so I threw a few dollars at the sequel.
