Ok, what's with all the Forsaken trolls? If you checked, I bet they are all friends planning this waste of time.

It's the same genre. Forsaken was a Descent clone, Overload is a spiritual successor to Descent. As such they have a lot in common.

Don't fall for it.

I heard Forsaken was more popular than Descent, particularly the Play Station version. I can explain the many references. Calm down a little. Too much time at troll hunting make us see them everywhere :-) I know the feeling...

@TheMasterBlaster
They might be trolls, or they may just be people who never got to play Descent. Seeing as how it was on the Playstation 1 and PC (which required a moderately hefty pc to run it) it's entirely possible someone (like an N64 owner) never got to play it.

Forsaken was a similar game, released after Descent, so that is probably their only point of reference. As I recall, the gameplay in Forsaken was fairly sluggish and Descent was much better - faster, and more challenging (at least on pc)

@Iustucc
Forsaken was a bit better on PS1 - I think it was probe software / acclaim who released it, and they had better technical chops with the limited power available on the PS1 than the devs who converted Descent. Plus it was built with consoles in mind, whereas Descent wasn't. Most pc to consoles conversions of that time were...not great

Descent created a whole game type and dwarfed the sales of Forsaken. You have your history messed up. Forsaken was just one of several copycats. Forsaken was more like a hovercraft than a true 6DoF game like Descent. I remember playing both very clearly.

Of course Descent was the best!
Maybe people who played descent were PC owners, and Consoles were for the young gamers. And maybe now there are many more of those "rookie" gamers still around Steam than old PC owners from 1995. ?

TheMasterBlaster, I appreciate most of your comments around here, but why continue to aggressively accuse anyone mentioning Forsaken as a troll? There are lots of N64 and PlayStation players that would remember Forsaken, as that was more popular among console gamers.

Besides, Forsaken was actually a pretty good game. I don't think it was as good as Descent, but I don't think many things are.

Yes, Overload is much like Forsaken. Same genre, but very much refined for a modern audience. :)

Actually Forsaken was one of the better Descent clones pre-2000. I had fun playing that when it came out, but actually when I tried to replay it few years ago I found that it had aged pretty badly, unlike Descent I and II which I find highly replayable to this day.
