Excellent - registering now :cool:

First reaction to the trailer - brilliant, looks a lot like Eve but did I detect a hint of neutonian physics there when the ship lost control? Hope there will be cockpits and walking around too!!!

We had a problem with submitting the xml on Vista earlier that we fixed. I just retried it with XP and Vista, Firefox and IE and it works. Did you allow the site in NoScript?

Hi, it didn't work with Firefox (upload seems to happen but no step 4), so I tried it with Internet Explorer 32bit - that works.

This is under Vista 64 Bit Home Premium

Does look like Eve just hope its not as boring and takes some of the good points from NC mixed with it.

Op wars on a planetary size would be well interesting :D Hope the beta is soon.

visually stunning, fast paced real-time combat action That's what I've been waiting to hear :)

I pointed several people to the vid earlier on - every one of them without exception said they'll definitely give it a go.

My reg'n worked once I got home; Vista with IE7.

Choral music + ship designs, especially some of the big ones put me very much in the mind of Homeworld.

Not that that is a bad thing - Homeworld is one of the most underplayed games out there.

I will quit eve for this game if its as imagine it, fast paced space combat with enough non pvp stuff to go with it and I know alot of people in eve-online i'll point them over for sure :)

/edit oh how these people I know that have played eve since 2003 like me are dying for some fresh space game to get into, I'll take some time to spam a few clan/corp forums.

As soon as I get back to my PC im signing up ;) From the little I've seen so far it looks very promising. Any idea when the closed beta will comence? Also, I'm pretty sure this has been asked before, but will NC players get any special treatment in regards to places in the closed beta? Also, as me and a few clannies have been saying, it would be a great idea if a tonne of us NC players could band together when the game goes live, as we could all help each other out and share knowledge about the game.

I really want to see this succeed, I love space games and Sci-Fi.

BUT, flight sim types of games require far too much skill for most gamers so they have tiny communities.

Eve is only popular because it doesn't require any real skills to pilot the ship, just click away and you will get to your destination, not so with a flight sim type of space game that requires actual skills to pilot the ship.

There are several space combat games still out there but, again, they have such tiny communities that only 20-50 people are online at any given time (kinda like Neocron).

TBH, I will gladly pay for and play BP but my experience with other space flight sim types of games tells me that there will not be many people to enjoy the game with. :(

Oh, and a bit of a request for the devs:

PLEASE code the game so that it has top shelf joystick support that works properly with systems like the Thustmaster Cougar and the Saitek X-52 Pro.

flib
06-08-08, 17:47
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that anyone has said that it's going to be a flight sim.
If not, then joystick support probably won't be that important.

All the information that we know about Black Prophecy has been written down in a post on the TPN forums here (http://www.prophecy-network.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=137). I was stated by one of the companies who saw it at last years Leipzig GC that Holgar used a Xbox 360 remote (also that Reakktor were looking for funding to port the game to the 360 as well). However I think it is safe to say that this proves that the game will be an "arcade" flight sim - and I do hope it works with a joystick add some real skill to the game!

23-09-08, 03:15
Better late than never, right? :p

Noticed a 61mb file in my downloads called BP_E3_2008.zip and was like, wtf is that?

Anyway, I did a forum search for "EVE Online" and never really found the answer to the first question that popped in my head:

How will this be different than EVE Online?

Granted, I've never played EVE, but I've read a lot about it and seen many a youtube video. So it begs the question to KK, what will truly set BP apart from EVE? I'm not assuming it will be an EVE clone, but being that it's in the same genre as EVE and Vendetta Online, I can't help but wonder what the selling point of BP will be...

Apocalypsox
23-09-08, 06:12
Good to see your still alive, FN :p

But anyways, the difference mainly is the way you pilot your ship and fight. It isn't point and click like Eve. You actually have direct control of your ship versus the alternative.

Click and move (EvE)

Judging from the fact that it can be played with an XBox 360 controller and they are hoping to also release it on the XBox 360 (?), and the fact that it has been said that it's going to be an arcade shooter or something, I'd say that it will probably being less click than EVE.
