    cant this game be made :'(
     
    I've never been so excited and then dissapointed.
       
    Just set it to HD and watch it, might be worth clicking through to youtube for a fullscreen. 
     
    I would give a left testicle for this game to be made.
     
    Edit = It just occured to me this could be regarded youtube spam, although its in the nexus forum but whatever.
     
    So I just purchased Nexus the jupiter incident (this is the tech demo for the sequel which is apparently canned) off steam on a reccomendation in the comments of the flotilla quick look. I'm not too far into it, but so far it's pretty dam cool once it gets going. If you have any interest in space games (and i know some of you do) I would reccomend picking it up for the $9.99 asking price. Just try and overlook the silly name and kind of amateurish british cast of characters for the first few short intro missions until you get to the good stuff.

    That looks awesome,  I'll look up the original and maybe buy it.
     
    The question is what happened to all the great space combat and RTS games, a FreeSpace 3 or Homeworld 3 would be awesome.

    I've only heard about the original game from people who are really in the know.  That makes a sequel a fairly high risk undertaking, and we all know how publishers feel about risks.

    Homeworld 3 would be awesome, but hugely unlikely since the license went down with sierra or whatever. I dont know why this genre died out, seems like people are dying for a new decent space game. I know i am.
