X:Rebirth is apparently much better than it used to be but even now I see the qualifiers of "X3 was better". I was a huge fan of X2 and a somewhat lesser fan of X3 but it was still a good game (I put that down to more personal preference than anything else). There was something special about actually sitting in your own Capital ship. Especially the fact that you couldn't switch ships. X:Rebirth I've played on a free weekend a year or so ago and.well frankly I found it awful it was a massive downgrade in every way from X3. Both RTS games, both absolute classics of the genre. They're both fantastic and everything I've heard about the remastered ones is glowing praise. However I also own (and have played) the original games. I haven't pinned down exactly what I want, so the more information I have the betterĬlick to expand.Homeworld 1&2 Remastered I own but I've not played. To summarize, tell me about your favorite space games! If it doesn't meet my criteria, and you still want to plug it, go ahead. Feel free to take me through just how wrong I am, I am interested in just what it is that makes it so good. I want something that captures the feeling of space battles, and the graphics just don't look like they'd do that for me. I've heard incredibly glowing praise of it, but it looks like it might be a little bit too dated for what I want right now. I've amassed a bit of wishlist after browsing the GOG sale, and the following games looked interesting, though I don't have too much knowledge about them: I like the idea of building empires (Particularly if it extends to building on both planets and space), though that's not a necessity. RTS, turn based, or commanding a single ship in real time are all fine with me. I'm not too interested in dog fighting, but if there's a game that's good enough that has that as an element I'd be okay with it.Īs for specific gameplay styles, I don't care too much. I realize the Honorverse 10 minutes between volleys, lightyears apart combat doesn't typically carry the excitement you'd want in a game, so I am fine with something that's not quite as "realistic", but still captures the same kind of spirit. What I'm looking for is a game with space combat which is handled at least somewhat realistically. I've also being reading a lot of David Weber's Honorverse books, and that's really got me into the mood for some space battles. That being said, sci-fi games are coming back into fashion and I'm eager to correct this. I attribute this mostly to the fact that they were at their biggest on the PC when I was younger, and I didn't have access to a gaming computer to play them on. Despite being a big science fiction fan, I actually haven't played too many sci-fi games.
