Futuremark Game Studios has seen fit to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing with two new screenshots of its moontastic PC FPS Shattered Horizon.

Shattered Horizon sees lunar colonists in a zero-gravity battle for supplies against those trapped aboard the International Space Station following a cosmic catastrophe.

The subsidiary of benchmarking tool 3DMark creator Futuremark has kept quiet since announcing the space shooter last year and still offers no release date, but those eager to explore the shattered satellite can sign up for a beta set to begin this summer.

  • This is really neat.. Even though it leaves everyone just with the ability to assume what the game will have to offer..

    Don't jump to high.. because the moon doesn't have good gravity that will leave you, floating a dirft into space.. might be a environment physics in the game. Which i always enjoyed games that you could drop the gravity in deathmatch and float around being a hard target while raining missles into the ground.. it was great fun, but the whole ethic of this game looks to be the realism.. so shooting a missle would probably just leave you.. continuing to ascend from a missle launchers kick back?

    Other then game physics the story line makes you wonder... Is it to be a free roam game where you are basically studing rocks, like the mars rovers..? or will there be a sinister plot by some evil alien or corrupted environmental enthusiast that wants to keep human polution on earth?

    The details shacknews posted about says a few words that have so much detail.. colonist, and shooter. So you live in a base camp, and something goes wrong and you are trying to fix and get to the bottom of your problems on the moon..
    That has a rpg fallout flair to it.. with just being an asumption I stil think this game is worth a gander everyonce and a while because massive co-op, world exploring, asuming roles in games.. has become a very popular genere that every company right now is endeavoring..

    Besides I always like astronomy, seeing other planets.. and obliterating everything in sight..
