Quoting: LinasThe best part of SPAZ for me was the ship building. I had certain builds for going against pirates, different ones for fighting zombies. Even though the build options were limited, they were easy and satisfying. Hope they do not mess up the system by over-improving it.

If you like top-down space shooters with awesome build mechanics, you should check out Reassembly. Absolutely superb.

I've also heard very good things about Captain Forever Remix, but I've yet to bite that bullet and buy it.

I bought this via the collection. Because the collection is 40% off (instead of 15% off just the main game) AND I had already bought three other titles, it was cheaper to buy the collection! Looking forward to playing - it looks superb.

Looks awesome. Insta-buy on release.

You know, it's a weird announcement for sure. They've got a back catalogue consisting of Toki Tori (puzzler), Rush (puzzler), Edge (puzzler), and Toki Tori 2 (puzzler).

Now I own three of those four, but must have gotten them in bundles because seriously... puzzler games aren't my thing.

Now they come away with an absolutely jaw-dropping twin-stick schmup, finally, a Two Tribes game I want to play... and it's the last thing they'll make!?

Have they done anything about EA reviews skewing overall results when the developers make crucial changes mid-EA causing reviewing bombing, when it in fact, it's a good change for the released game?

The "Recent" system works for well-established games making unpopular changes (looking at you, Payday 2), but it's no use when you have 1000 bad EA-based reviews and 10 good launch reviews. No-one is going to touch that game, basically.

Quoting: mcphailHa! Reminds me of one of my favourite games.

And here's the version I used to play on the Amiga - Projectyle:

Less tactical, because the fire button always rammed you towards the puck, but you could move around to line things up (if the other players let you!). Played hours of that with my two mates. Not many three-player party games out there, but this was classic.

[Edit: And back on topic - what a save at 2m 20, Liam! Magic!]

Not that I would buy a game in EA anyway, but it's always a bit worrying when a dev feels the need to launch on one platform then port it over. All supported platforms should progress at the same rate, really, or we're risking the usual lag after release before the Linux version comes out.

This looks great though - it's got a nice Bioshock Infinite vibe. I'll be scooping this up on release.

Not touching these devs with a barge pole. Stay clear.

Quoting: mr-eggAFAIk from a discussion on reddit, Aspyr are fore-filling obligations and that's why you saw LOF but they were bought/licensed by Apple. Don't take my word for it though.

Yikes, really? This again? "Bought by Apple" was an April Fool's joke that Aspyr ran five years ago. Jeez - I even commented on the Reddit discussion you're talking about saying as much.

Aspyr must simply think that either there's more money in the Apple scene, or more likely that their expertise lies with... Apple's shitty version of Vulkan? I can't remember its name.

I hope they come back and do something great for Linux, but it's not looking great right now.
