Precursors - Preview @ CVG

by Dhruin, 2008-07-08 23:43:21

Kieron Gillen has written a Precursors preview for PC Gamer UK, which is now up at CVG.  It's a short, general overview piece, so if you've been following Deep Shadows' work there won't be any surprises:

Amusingly, the one area where Precursors is more down to earth than White Gold is its airborne units. You'll find few of these when you're planetside. That's because when it becomes to aerial endeavours, Precursors is aiming at a higher target. The crucial difference between the two games is a Big Place. The Biggest Place, in fact: space.

Rather than just auto-travelling between worlds, you're put in the pilot's seat of your ship, and enter a Freespace-styled space-sim. You can move freely and explore, getting in trouble with pirates, trading, upgrading your vessel and so on. So it's Deus Ex meets KotOR meets Freelancer. See what I mean about 'ambitious'?
