Innovations?

Okay, i played the teaser 3.0 for some hours now. Its quiet fun. So what's the point not buying it right now? Pretty easy, there are zero innovations. Yes i know... they wanted to copy the good old classics, but then they should name it Descent - Aftermath - Resurrection or Reloaded ....something like that. Here are some points that i miss / don't like...

- just one vessel without different behaviors (strength <> weakness)
- no different cockpits
- challange maps without secrets :( (as far as seen in teaser)
- unfair / unrelastic ai enemy spawning
- no beam lasers or rail gun lasers!!!?
- no co-op
- no split-screen

I think the old classic video game "Forsaken" had some pretty decent gameplay and ideas. Yes, the graphics in Overload looks way better but not that much and Forsaken is nearly 20 years old and was played on N64! Also, it had the benefit to have split screen mode.Changing main / second weapon was announced by ai voice, that was really comfortable. In Overload it happens quiet often, using a weapon without knowing what type it is due in the heat of battle.

Don`t get me wrong. Overload is a good game, but it could be even better and accessible to play with some improvements games already had 20 years ago....

You have a lot of catching up to do. Maybe read a bit about Overload, the developers, and Descent.

rail gun lasers..... is there such a thing?
A railgun uses electromagnetics to shoot/launch projectiles at extreme velocities.
