I really like the mining stuff, the sound of the transfer unit and the ice field. (What a surprise.
)
Now I have to be the negative here, the guy that nobody likes. I know because I don't like that guy either. All I'm going to write is my point of view and refers exclusively to personal tastes. It's not about game design but about muy view as a potential player. I hope you don't mind.
- I prefer the previous space stations to the last one, by far.
- The new ship promises a lot, but the previous ships were much better, to me at least.
- I prefer the circular scanner. I did not get this one. The previous scanner fits more with the "
LT vibe" to me.
- I prefer the nodal UI from the Update #11 and Update #12. What I saw in the last video doesn't seem very different from what you find in other games. Maybe it's my mistake, because in this video we didn't see much of the interface.
- It seems like Josh is controlling the ship with a mouse. I hope that's not true, because I don't like vehicles mouse control. I don't think there is a single game where this has worked well. IMO: You control the ship with the keyboard; mouse is for look around. I feel that if this is the case, is a major step back, which brings us back to the times of the first updates. Maybe the problem is not a problem if you use a gamepad? Or perhaps it has always been so and you just change at will between a way and the other, so my concern was never a concern. That's what the last few seconds of the video suggest me.
- Related to the above: There is a new icon between what it seems to be the mouse pointer and the crosshair, with a line between the two. I hope you can disable that at will.
Twice as negatives than positives points? I now feel bad with myself. I am a bad person.
