Shattered Horizon

[Aleenik]

Is anyone here going to be getting this game? It is $17.99 on Steam. It is a multiplayer only game.

If you pre-order, you get invited to the ongoing closed Beta program, which will start testing new prototype levels sometime after launch. No one gets to play before the launch however, except the people currently in the Beta.

Honestly, the game looks fun.
The graphics look awesome.
This game is DirectX 10 only, it isn't DirectX 9.
Up to 32 players is the currently supported amount of players per match.
I just heard of this game today, and I think it looks cool. Hopefully the game is awesome.
It definitely seems way different than other FPS games that are out.

Here is gameplay of it.

So what exactly makes this game so unique? I watched the trailer and it looks like Counter-Strike in space to me

Well, I think the space stuff makes it unique. You fly around with your suit thing, can land on stuff. You can go dark and turn your suit jet off and turn your suits lights off, which is good for being still while standing on a dark area, like a dark side of an asteroid. To snipe from and stuff. At least that is what I heard.
It just seems fun I think.
It is only $17.99 also.
The graphics are better than Counter Strike I think.
The graphics look awesome I think.

I'd ask about how the gameplay is, does the force of shooting make you move backwards, or are they non-recoil weapons, is the zero grav treated like a number of space games treat space (with air friction, of which there is none in space), etc.

Except it's only apparently DX10 which rules it out for everyone still using XP.

On the game's forums some of these questions are answered I think. If your flying around If I remember correctly..I read you'll have more recoil than if you are standing on solid ground. I don't know exactly how the zero grav plays, as I haven't played the game though. You might try looking around on the game's forums or asking people on it some of your questions.
