- Gracana 12y agoCheck out Miner Wars, maybe? I haven't played it yet, but it looks cool, and an awful lot like Descent. [edit] Oh, but the reviews are pretty terrible. :|
- MrZongle2 12y agoFWIW: the guys behind Miner Wars (Keen Software House) are working on a new game, Space Engineers, which has full 3D, Decent-like movement. The game is more about construction than combat, though weapons exist in the game. It's currently in beta, but they have been consistently cranking out weekly updates. One of the more tantalizing features they want to add: in-game C# scripting so players can automate a lot of the functionality and build their own communications systems.
- lotharbot 12y agoThe video posted is less than a year old. And quite a few game enhancements have been added since then. http://descentchampions.org/new_player.php http://descentchampions.org/new_player.php
- lobotryas 12y agoWhat could "modernity" (by which, I assume, you mean modern 3D graphics) give to Descent that would make it a better game?
- lotharbot 12y agoMany people are under the impression that Descent is no longer playable. I was under that impression until a year ago -- it had quit working when I switched to Windows XP. Thankfully, due to the hard work of several people, Descent runs beautifully on modern hardware.
