Newspace Blackstar
Newspace Episode One: Blackstar is a beautifully rendered horizontal shooter from Freespace Films. Check out some of the other projects, such as the Wipeout styled race in Speed Factor, and you’ll see that there’s more than a bit of talent here in 3D modelling and animating.
I’m normally not a really big fan of this style, of what I like to call super-realistic graphics. I’ll make an exception here, though, as the pace of the game is fast and the action gets quite frantic. The game is not without it’s faults, such as the placement of the keyboard controls, but there are some pretty good enemy designs, with both large and small craft to fight. And, it’s the first in a planned series of games.
