Space Siege Demo Released, Try GPG's Action-RPG

Is this going to be available as digital download ? Im so in.

So what do you think people? Still got about 5-6 hours before I can try it.

Here is an alternate and faster place to download the demo. http://www.playwhat.com/GameDetails/gaspowered/spacesiege_SpaceSiege_Demo.exe.html

Oh wow, what a pleasant surprise!

Penis switching to erect mode... complete.

This just went off my must play list.

I am shocked at how appalling this game is. The character movement is really chunky, he has maybe 4 frames of animation, he moves on an 8 point compass, you enter a room, spawn enemies, hold down shift and blast away. Rinse, repeat, ad infinitum. The enemies aren't even that interesting. The constant need to rotate the camera is also a pain in the ass.

Does this have co-op? Final game...demo I don't care. If no co-op, I'll just play Too Human.

In the words of arnold schwartznegger: "Stop Whining!"

I really enjoyed that demo.

Technical issues?

Demo was ok, but the game seems very simplistic. I enjoyed the Dungeon Siege games for what they were but I doubt I'll be picking this up.

Wow, this was out of nowhere.

This reminds me of ut2004: http://www.shacknews.com/images/image-o-matic.x?/images/sshots/Screenshot/10286/10286_487cdfe8b3793.jpg

i like games with upgrades and skill trees. The demo is pretty short so i couldn't really upgrade much. The AI in the game kindof is lame. The monsters just run straight at you even as your shooting them in a straight line. Kindof interesting the Diablo keys they used. TAB is to swap weapons. NumPad 1-6 is for emotes. The camera management was annoying. Also the use of blank black screens was weird. They'd be talking and the screen would be all blank. Then a movie or some cut scene would pop up. The workbench reminded me alot of KOTOR.

Is it just me, or the demo has no way of enabling antialiasing or even forcing externally?

i hope thats not the final hud. are they planing on releasing it as flash game ? :/

Here are the notes I took while playing, both negative and positive.

- Bland artwork. Too clean and sterile.

- Overall lack of environment detail. Most areas are just hallways are large boxes with a smattering of random items and meaningless glowing machinery.

- Very nice lighting, shadows and bloom.

- Interface is designed fairly well. I like the minimalistic graphical approach. Actual navigation works well enough.

- CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! (not that I expected else wise, but still...)

- Voice acting is iffy at times, but not a huge concern.

- The design of the mothership looks uncomfortably similar to the mothership design in Homeworld.

- Objects and low-walls didn't disappear when they obstructed my view, only certain high-walls did. I found this very annoying and unacceptable as I was forced to swivel my camera around multiple times in order to get a view of items and my character. Stupid design decision, but luckily one that shouldn't be hard to fix before release or after release with a patch.

- The game has nice physics, if a bit floaty. If objects had a little more weight to them it'd be very nice.

- It's just a demo level so hopefully there is more varied gameplay to be had in the full version, but I fear they aren't even attempting to do something beyond the standard clickfest gameplay to separate themselves from other games both past, present and future. If it's just a clickfest in the retail release, I'd rather just wait for Diablo 3 and wear out my mouse with it instead.

Also, the game ran well on my system at 2048x1536 with noAA and 16xAF. There were a few dips when there was a lot of smoke on the screen (fill rate limitation, I guess), and a few dips during heavy action, but overall it was smooth and completely playable. Lack of AA doesn't bother me.

Not very good. After playing D2 and Titan Quest, the controls in this game feel extremely clunky. Graphics are okay. Blade weapon is cool.

Beat it already! Too bad the demo was SOOO short... but the game looks fun, I could get into hours of blasting these creatures to mucus. Have fun guys, I can't wait another 6 weeks for a decent game to come out...

only thing that has me worried about this game is that you apparently can't play the single player campaign coop. they supposedly did a separate campaign, which hopefully won't be too 'tagged on'. waiting for reviews.

I think it'll be a fun blast and they've worked hard to make the tasks you have to do entertaining but there isn't really any inv and I don't really know if you get any random loot. Something that is usually pretty important in these games.

Hell yes. Dungeon Siege 1 and 2 were plenty of fun. Gonna see if this runs on my system.

Really awesome. Was sad to find no E3 coverage of this game anywhere despite a couple of people mentioning having seen it at the show. No matter now, this is much better.
