In-game footage aplenty in this multifarious trailer for space-flyin’ FPS The Precursors. The trailer shows us the gun that you have to feed, the slightly ropey-looking space combat, the excellent-looking will-it-be-buggy-buggy, the just-a-big-person mech, funny-looking tree people, and lots of other glowy extra-terrestrial stuff.
Precursors Trailer 3 (High)
Numerous folks expect this game to be over-ambitious and ultimately broken – thanks to this coming from Boiling Point developers Deep Shadows – but that doesn’t stop it looking like a game that I really want to get my hands on. Even if it breaks down into quasi-surreal slapstick absurdity, as Boiling Point often did, this has got to be entertaining.

Yeah… and if it doesn’t the second time they should remake it again twice even more instantly than the first time.
“anywhere near its potential” is VERY open to interpretation. And remaking a game that’s just been released and turned out to be a heap of shit is just plain old vanilla stupid.
““anywhere near its potential” is VERY open to interpretation.”
Well, this is correct. So let’s just agree to only use one interpretation. Mine.
“And remaking a game that’s just been released and turned out to be a heap of shit is just plain old vanilla stupid.”
Utter bollocks. Depends why it turned out to be shit. Many, many games over the years would have benefited immensely from a remake/overhaul on release, say, Warrior Within: keep essentially the same game, signpost where you’re meant to go a bit better in the middle sections, dump the pissy whining prick Prince for a more interesting take on a character hounded out of his original privileged life by a creature of myth, dump the ridiculous metal bikinis, get rid of the 14-year-old fantasy groaning vampire enemies, completely rewrite the soundtrack so it’s not the worst heavy metal shite you’ve ever heard. If someone had done that it would have been one of the best games ever.
With this one, even if it turns out broken, the concept is pretty close to _the_ game a lot of people, myself included, have been wanting someone to make for a very long time. More devs should try to be this ambitious. If they did, occasionally one of them might actually pull it off.
Maybe, but that’s really improving the game, not remaking it. I’m unlikely to buy the sequel to a shit game, let alone a remake of that exact game.
We’re really talking about patching here.
Look, I’m not trying to start a fight here or anything.
