GALCIV:
I not really interested.
MOO3:
I wish people who do not yet have the game, would stop reviewing it. (It's not even out!)
S!SNG:
What is it?
X2:The Threat:
What is it?
Freelancer:
More of the same.
Elite4:
Release date: "When Hell Freezes Over"
Imperium Galactica 3:
Looks interesting, nice looking graphics, ? on game play.
Star Peace (name has changed):
Not at all interested.
Your foregot:
Stars Super Nova Genisis:
Looks like it will be a great game, but they can't publish it. That means the likely hood of it ever being released are remote.
Space Empires V
Now your talkin
"and on the shorter list, games currently out that I am aware of:"
Starships Unlimited: seems to be very limited. the focus was supposed to be ship design and combat, but i found this to be less detailed than in SE4. If there was more to it than what was in the demo, no one ever let on.
Agreed
X:beyond the frontier (with/without x-tension):
Not my thing
Battlecruiser Millenium:
Lame
Homeworld and sequel:
Fun game for about the first five minutes. Anyone wanna by my disk?
Hegimonia:
Never heard of it.
Lets face it, there are many games out there that promis what SEIV already dilivers, but when it comes time to put their money where their mouth is, they push back there release date in order to "steal" the good ideas of SEIV and code them into their games. (Moo3??)
In the eight years that I have been playing games, 4x games have been really limited. I can only remember about five or six games that actually dilivered on addictive game play. Moo, Moo2, Rebellion, BOTF, *Stars and *SEIII (*I never did play them as I did not know about them.
