E3 2011: Sword of the Stars II Trailer
Hopefully the galaxy map will be usable this time around. The first game had some great game ideas (and fantastic fiction) but the interface was a mess.
The trailer seemed kinda strange to me and probably doesn't do the game justice. A lot of swooping camera angles on ships that aren't really doing anything. The only people a trailer like this will probably sell the game to are those that are already familiar with the previous game. I'm not criticising the game, it's just that this trailer seems inadequate on an advertising level.

hmm Paradox always delivers some of the best indie games around. I'll have to look into this.
yeah, Paradox keeps releasing games in the genres I'm interested in. Like the batshit crazy space combat sim Dark Horizon, equally but more intentionally batshit crazy Magicka, the horror masterpiece Penumbra (only overshadowed by Amnesia by the same studio) and of course the original Sword of the Stars, though 4X games are somewhat oversaturated on the indie market - nowhere near how ridiculously overpopulated the tower defense genre is of course.
