Tarr Chronicles Demo

TARR: error message

Anyone?

Does anyone remember Colony Wars for the original Playstation? I played the whole thing in one sitting and have never found anything like it in the years since. Does this @ all play like that?

The game crashes on me everytime I change any setting ingame or in the config file. Guess I will not purchase this one. And to think I had high hopes for this game. This is the only game I have had problems with - FYI

Vista X64.

The game gives you no control over resolution or visual settings. I'm gonna look for a config file somewhere...

Is it open-ended rpg-ish like X3, or is it more linear action based like Freespace?

I've been waiting for another game like Freespace. Just last night I was reminiscing about Freespace2 and then today, I see this. What luck!

Anyways, sadly, I'm unable to even try the demo until 9pm tonight =( For everyone who gets to play it, give me your thoughts on the demo. Thanks.

So i got it working.

Pretty damn cool if you're into this genre of game. I was just flying around and checking out all the cool spaceships and then suddenly im thrusted into a group of other space fighters trying to defend our station. I was able to fly around all over those huge stations and rip shit up. It;s not extremely fast paced, but it's pretty damn awesome if you ask me :)

my interest is picqued...

I never got into any of the X games, but absolutely loved the Freespace games. Freelancer was entertaining for a while, but I never got into finishing that game, became a little too repetitive.

I downloaded the project sylpheed demo on Live, but found it to be ridiculously boring and the hud was shit.

Let us know how it is...

game hardlocks at menu on my p4 3 ghz ATI 1950x pro. Probably thanks to ATIs fantastic drivers.

It looks too pretty, I'm downloading it now.

Tarr Chronicles: Sign of Ghosts

Game world is a unique universe called Tarr. In Tarr there is no light and dark sides, no right and guilty. It is the world where all the races have united against one enemy, where the struggle is not for resources, but for life. For the life of the dying galaxy.
Battlecruiser Talestra – the flagship of Aliiance Forces – was sent in a remote star system to guard some science groups exploring a long ago abandoned city of ancient race. But owing to a break down in its hyperengine Talestra comes in the wrong part of galaxy. And now the crew has to make a long way to their home: through the worlds populated with alien races, through deserted, desolate systems and sectors controlled by the main enemy of the galaxy - De'Khete.
The main character is a pilot of elite fighters squad, which is a part of Talestra’s combatant forces. Together with other crew members player will have to overcome all the severities fallen to the lost cruiser’s lot. All the pilots of player’s squad are controlled by AI: they follow the player’s ship and help in battles. Moreover companions report about their maneuvers and give advice on combat tactics. But companions aren’t just soulless dummies but self-dependent persons every of which has its own point of view on life and fights. Only acting as a part of a team you can reach your goal.
Between missions player can change its ship’s equipment. For this needs it is provided with a set of various blocks and subsystems – hulls, engines, cannons, rocket launchers. For the services in battle player gets new ranks and opportunities to serve in other Talestra departments, what gives player an access to the hangars with new equipment and weaponry.
Interesting and diverse missions, detailed storyline with intrigues and unexpected turns, dynamic battles in deep space and in planetary orbits, dizzy flights – all this creates an unforgettable feeling of presence in game. This project is not people play, it’s a whole world you will live and fight within to break away from the depths of hostile space and to come back to your native land.
