Pretty unbelievable what a studio of 15 people can make.

Mod Edit: Stop it with the clickbait titles.

Men_in_Boxes Edit: OK I will stop.

Men_in_Boxes Edit II: OP updated with new gameplay released yesterday.

And here I was thinking having Gaf's Gold would free me of any ads.

What's innovative about this? I'd prefer this:

 

[pudel]

Looks a bit like Star Citizen, just not so shiny. Whats the "innovative" part, Sir?

 

[Heisenberg007]

Skimmed through the video. Didn't find anything innovative or unique? What did I miss?

 

[ComputerBlue]

Looks like it could be fun but as others I’m also failing to see where the innovation is?

 

[Insanemaelstrom]

May I introduce you to, the bustling world:

Jumped ship after 2 minutes.

The first 20 seconds of the video should explain it.

They don't make too many FTL x Sea of Thieves x Helldivers 2 games.

 

[Insanemaelstrom]

I know, right? It looks amazing, just wish devs actually deliver on it. It is my most anticipated game

 

[MiguelItUp]

Ah yes, another hodge podge of everything else out there.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Vision is too strong to call it a hodge podge. You have misused the term.

Its a gameplay vid of some dudes playing the game....it doesnt explain anything, sorry.

 

[saintjules]

What was the original title?

Something about "the most innovative game of 2025".

 

[adamsapple]

Something about "the most innovative game of 2025".

Ah, that's so much tamer than I thought, lol.

Since it's Men_In_Boxes, I thought it'd be something like "This GAAS game from 2025 shows why Single Player games are a dying breed (sponsored content)"

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

If your eyes can't decipher anything more than that then, well...

I've been gaming a long time and I can't think of a single game that does what this does. It's truly impressive creativity on display. 15 developers absolutely embarrassing the rest of the industry with their creative scope.

 

[MiguelItUp]

[Romulus]

What's innovative about this? I'd prefer this:

Holy apples to oranges. Shooting guns in space! Its all the same!
Cod in space isn't innovation.

 

[Sebastian1295]

I looked at the video and i'm not seeing anything to get me excited. It looks like every other shooting game that comes and goes. It's also not a good sign that this video is 8 months old and has under 100k views.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Holy apples to oranges. Shooting guns in space! Its all the same!

You've single handedly saved this thread.

 

[BigBeauford]

Is this the game that's sort of multiplayer FTL? I'd be more interested in how they handle the ship management over the combat.

Decipher it!

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Doesn’t look like anything innovative. Looks like a pretty generic PvE title.

Mixing a few games together is not innovation.

 

[GymWolf]

More like jump shit.

 

[Paasei]

This game will be finished, so there’s a difference too.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Can you name a handful of popular PvE titles that look like it?

 

[rodrigolfp]

what this does.

What this does??

 

[NeverYouMind]

So it is pretty much just the original Star Wars: Battlefront II without a license or any style...

A good sign right here. There seems to be an engineering mini game that players can fiddle with as they travel from mission to mission.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

No. Just, no.

Will never not be amazed at how frequently people think in terms of aesthetic rather than gameplay design.

 

[j0hnnix]

Snake oil salesman..

 

[AJUMP23]

I may play this but I it makes me want to Jump Ship.

I have a 10 year old that wants to play games with me so maybe that would work.

 

[Bumblebeetuna]

Can you name a handful of popular PvE titles that look like it?

Look like it how? Gameplay wise?

Space Marine 2
Back 4 Blood
Destiny
Helldivers
Deep Rock
Exoprimal
Aliens Fireteam Elite or whatever it is called

Just to name some recent ones I have played off the top of my head.

Why don’t you describe exactly what is so innovative about that. Hell it could have been a rebooted Anthem and I would have believed it.

 

[Loomy]

What's innovative about this? I'd prefer this:

I enjoyed the Boundary beta as much as the next guy, but having a game that's described as "this other game but in this setting" tells me it's not innovative either.

Aside from the existence of a spaceship you can walk through, this looks nothing like Star Citizen lol

 

[pudel]

Can you name a handful of popular PvE titles that look like it?

Star Citizen
Space Engineers
Stationeers
Avorion
Empyrion - Galactic Survival

Just a few games reminding me of this game. Might be that this game has something special....but if your goal was to make this game interesting to anyone...you failed miserably imho. Just posting a random gameplay vid and saying "here guys, figure out why this the best game ever made".....is just lol.

 

[nemiroff]

More like acting from a script. This is the most synthetic interaction I've seen since the worst of E3.

Ok, let's go
Yes, let's go
Go
Let's go
Ok
We're going
Ok
Yes we are
Let's go!

 

[Guilty_AI]

More like JUMP from the gaas SHIP

None of those games have an integral ship management system that influences where you fly and what you risk throughout the game. In terms of the moment to moment on foot gameplay, Jump Ship can really only be compared to Helldivers 2, and even then, it's takes that teamwork system to 11.

It's as if you think Zelda is the same as Stardew Valley because both characters hit enemies with their sword. The added context is the story here, and you whiffed on seeing it.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Star Citizen

Only in aesthetic and the fact that both games are player choice driven. Other than that, they are nothing alike.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

The aesthetics alone are so painfully generic, I immediately X'd out. How can devs even still make this fucking art style and levels consisting of rocks without wanting to die from utter boredom?

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

The videos you posted when you said “most innovative title of 2025” don’t show any substantial ship management and looking at other videos it looks pretty generic with base upgrades and buffs you find in all of these games. And there’s certainly nothing in the videos you posted or others that show any kind of elevated teamwork past titles like Helldivers or Space Marine.

Your Zelda comment is pure nonsense but it’s typical of your high horse mentality in these nonsense service based game threads you make.

“Most innovative game of 2025”. It’s literally Helldivers or Space Marine with some ship elements. Cool. Actually judging from the videos, Space Marine teamwork is deeper because of the classes and roles everyone plays.
