Three new games coming from Futuremark Games Studio

Three new games coming from Futuremark Games Studio

Futuremark Games StudioFuturemark Games Studio, creators of Shattered Horizon, recently dropped a pretty blatant hint that they’re working on not one, but three new game projects. They’ve only released the following video as well as letting us know that if you want to find out more, their Facebook page is the place to go for current news.

The first game looks like it may be a light-hearted take on an alien invasion. The second looks like a casual puzzle game at a microscopic scale. The third, and the most bad-ass looking one to me personally, appears to be a 3D spaceship flight combat game—perhaps even set in the world of Shattered Horizon. I cannot even begin to tell you how long I’ve been wanting a good spaceflight combat game akin to Rogue Squadron. A modern space combat game using Futuremark’s high-end engine would be spectacular. Here’s to hoping.

    Bandrik Ahh, I haven't been sated by a good space combat game since... um...

    ...Tie-Fighter? It's been a while.

    Though, honestly, along with open space combat, I'd love to see more on-rails 3D shooters, similar to the Star Fox games. They're light, they're fun, and there's not enough of them.

    Actually. Help me out here. Can you guys think of other quality Star Fox-ish on-rails shooters? I'm coming up short, and would love to check out the ones I've missed.

    pigflipper I, for one, grew up on space combat sims (X-Wing (first "modern" game I ever had), TIE Fighter, Wing Commander, Pioneer) and have been waiting for a modern one (Besides the X series, load of buggy garbage) for a long long time now.

    There have been several in the works, but all have been cancelled over the past year due to increasing budget restrictions on developers. I am really really hoping this one comes out and if it looks even half as good as Shattered Horizon, I, for one, will shit my pants.

    Well, they did shoot themselves in the foot with a Windows only dedicated server.

Howdy, Stranger!
