I'm personally more excited about Elite: Dangerous. http://elite.frontier.co.uk by David Braben (from Raspberry Pi)

It will have a scientifically based galaxy with rotating an orbiting planets which I think is very important in a space game like this, it also features a mass multi-player dynamic galaxy.

It's shaping up nicely as you can see from the newsletters http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/home/?u=dcbf6b86b4b0c7d1c21...

and youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/user/FrontierDevelopments/videos

You mean Elite 4, the game he's been promising to deliver for over a decade? :)

That's E:D sorted ... I hear that the Star Citizen fanboys are quite rabbid and sure to turn up shortly. Brace for impact!

looks nervous

They had a successful kickstarter campaign http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1461411552/elite-dangero...

It also has a solid release date set for March 2014 and they are right on schedule, alpha testing will start this December.

It's not as if he can now run away with the money and postpone it for another decade.

No, but he's bit off more than he can chew I think.

Also, Star Citizen - using CryEngine and non procedural systems. snigger

This, gentlemen is why there are no good space games out there.
