This game released in Russia in 2006. So, if you need super graphic, it’s not your game. But, real graphic is much better then this video shows.
Here you can look some good screens http://www.elite-games.ru/zavtravoina/screens.shtml
This game is very epic and has good scenario and deep gameworld. If you enjoied Wing Commander, you will enjoy Tommorow war too.
Anyway, i recommend this game ;)

I can’t wait for this to come out. Manual planet space flying was my favorite thing to do in the elite series. This so far has been the only game I’ve seen to recreate these events with a modern graphic engine. Flying through planetary rings is an added drool bonus. I wonder if flying through nebulae will give me the same style eye candy…

It looks like all it needs is a little more traffic (read: Ships passing here and there on their own business, city traffic, etc), and the ability to hop out of the ship and explore on foot (or a vehicle of some sort, like an ATV, or a boat/submarine of sorts for water excursions), and we’d have the penultimate Space sim!

This made me think of subsequently 2001 – A Space Odyssey; Homeworld and Battlestar Galactica.

Yana Botsman and Dmitry Gordevsky are actually Ukrainian writers, thank you.

BTW, when Tomorrow War was released in Russia two years ago, it recieved generally positive or average reviews. AG.ru tends to act harsh on Russian and Ukrainian games, they gave 50/100 (or something like that) to S.T.A.L.K.E.R..

You call that translated? It’s a fun read, though…

That looks like a bit of nifty stuff if I ever saw some. We need more space-ship games where you can do the “space to surface in one bit” thing.

Jim: By the way – how is that piece on procedural generation coming along?

Got to 5th the call for Infinity if only because the graphics are much better (and the ambition pretty incredible too). If you want a comparison video (sans ships at the moment), try this link. Starts off slow, but goes to awesomeness about half way through. There is also a playable ship combat prototype for those worried by how 'far off' it is.
