Everspace - Live Fight Die Repeat - With Spaceships

[@DETHdressedInRED]

Mr Scott! Thanks so much. I watched this video a long long time ago when you first posted it and I could never find this game and gave up. Everspace fell into my lap the other day and I played a trial and was like oh! I know this! Scott Manley! It's such a good game! Thanks dude.

[@nistramai]

Gosh dangit!! The one time I stop playing ES for a little bit they finally go and make big updates on me.

[@Narfwak]

Love this game! Great to see more people getting into it now that it's out of early access.

[@mfrantti]

Mr. Manley's clips are so fun to watch. Keep going. And hello from snowy Finland ;)

[@ryanedison5709]

It only took me the better part of a year, but I'm done all your videos..... I've got to say, I really enjoyed the KSP ones above all else. Please live stream more, it's just nice to sit back and watch sometimes.... Keep it coming, I'm looking forward to more! And now I'll officially subscribe to your channel....great stuff!

[@Ashmodai]

like in FTL you need some luck as well... in my first (new) run i didn't even make it so sector 2. The second wasn't so great either. But in the third I almost spend one and a half hour crushing those sectors one after another... Really an awesome game.

[@Visuwyg]

Sweet I'd hoped you'd take a look at this game! I am pretty curious about it. I liked their Galaxy on Fire games on iOS, and they are from my city. Got to support your local businesses!

[@trygveplaustrum4634]

This looks shockingly like Galaxy on Fire 3, with the six-degree first-person shooter, warp tech, and that kind of stuff. Not that I mind, though; It's one of the best mobile games out there. I would recommend it. It's not very realistic, but it is fun and space-themed, so you can't go wrong.

[@SargeRho]

That's because ROCKFISH games, the studio behind Everspace, is run by the former heads of Fishlabs, the developers of Galaxy on Fire 3.

[@Visuwyg]

It's the same developer I believe.

[@trygveplaustrum4634]

Well, that explains a lot, then. Good on them for making PC games now!

[@avd7288]

Christ J Nope, PC port was after mobile release.

[@isaacvangerpen4138]

They released a GoF3? GoF2 was probably one of the best mobile games I've ever played.

[@johnsummers9660]

I have been playing this game for about two weeks now and have been unable to complete a full run through the game. I don't pretend to be the greatest gamer in the world but statistically speaking I should've accidentally completed a run by now. I have been able to take out a few of the Okkar corvettes though. I find that a handful of corrosion missiles and shield breaker missiles go a long way to depleting their shields, no matter how many shield drones they have deployed. After you take their shields down, using the coil gun, beam laser (+++) or plasma cannon will make short work of their hull. As linear and somewhat repetitive as the game can be at times, I have yet to find myself bored while playing it and actually look forward to doing so. Usually, a game like this would tick all of my "hate boxes" when it comes to rating a game but I really enjoy the hell out of it. I really like that every run is different from the last and you rarely experience the same level or situation more than once. If anyone could give me some tips on how to best go about completing a run, it would be much appreciated.

[@IRMentat]

What I have wanted for years now is an updated version of I-war 2. It seems every space game wants to promise something similar but delivers something else.

[@Galacticat42]

1:06 "What's my objective?" Pass the butter.

[@Gokatgo]

It has lasers beams so it must be elite dangerous! /s

[@ChAnimations]

Hi Scott, are you gonna check out The Long Journey Home? It releases tonight on steam.

[@CyrusOfNaias]

3rd-person mode can be explained like having Camera Drones following you in space

[@Cruzz999]

Would you say this is a good fix for people missing Freelancer? I've been searching for good alternatives to it, but I've found nothing promising yet.

[@PacTheOne]

its a good fix (: will there ever be a new actual true freelancer II ? ..

[@MrF00tie]

I don't know. It's nothing like freelancer at all, the only common thing is the space theme.

[@aionarap6719]

Looking for a modern Freelancer clone? Try Rebel Galaxy.

[@qqq1701]

Speaking of descent does anyone remember descent freespace? Those were two of the best games I've ever played.

[@11matt555]

Didn't play that one but I did play Freespace II and it was great.

[@interdictr3657]

Freespace series was incredible. I need to reinstall and check out the latest mods. DIVE DIVE DIVE hit your burners pilot!

[@johnsummers9660]

I remember Descent having Skinny Puppy on the soundtrack and that right there made the game a classic for me.

[@JamesCoyle95]

This looks pretty cool TBF. Story is a bit overdone but interesting and the gameplay actually looks really fun.

[@Drrolfski]

Speaking of gorgeous look space games: Any chance on an Endless Space 2 impressions? Beside amazing looks the game is pretty cool.

[@robmuzz]

This really does look amazing, but when you said it was VR, that was it... I had to have it.

[@TinchoX]

Looks fun, I might give it a try.

[@avd7288]

Looks like a buffed Freelancer. First mission looks like Badlands in system New York, second skit (corvette fight) looks like the asteroid fields in system Colorado.

[@Frosty4447]

Will this game have VR support in the future?

[@MsCounterMax]

There is an easier way of dealing with corvettes. If you have G&B freighter in the sector, you can just dance between freighter and corvette to cause enough collateral damage to make G&B hostile towards Okkar.

[@scottmanley]

But G&B are always hostile to the Okkar.

[@MsCounterMax]

Predetermination Glyph does that instead.

[@TheT0nedude]

Scott Manley no they're not, they're both hostile to outlaws but not each other, they need a nudge....

[@gblenemy]

becoming a professional game reviewer scott? Great Job on the video!

[@MeoithTheSecond]

I hope they do make a true vr mode for this game I've heard lots of experienced vr users say the fast turning fps aspec is way too extreme in vr,

[@cyakat445]

I have this game and I had no Idea that you could craft. Maybe that would explain why I die so much.

[@spikes1529]

So a 3D first person FTL?

[@jsnsk101]

Mmmmm Memory Loops, now with more cereal-y goodness.

[@alanpolo9162]

It's like super stardust but in 3d, and Im saying that as a compliment. Already buy it on steam :)

[@palreigstad]

do you need a trackir to play this?

[@tenaarfeiri7164]

Since when do computers need to inhale before they can speak?

[@Smallshotty97]

Tenaar Feiri you could assume it was programmed into the AI to help its user feel more comfortable communicating with it.

[@awesome9174]

How's the vr support?

[@nojembre]

Thanks for doing this video because i've been contemplating getting the game but I think ill just stick to Elite Dangerous.

[@spongejacobw123]

of coarse dodging is effective... the strikes that hurt the least are the ones that dont connect / miss

[@glarynth]

My wallet can't take many more of these game reviews.

[@Cross_111]

First time in a while i have seen something like a successor to Freelancer :D

[@kistuszek]

Isnt that star citizen?

[@ImpactedWhisper]

Successor to Freelancer, you are joking right? This game is nothing like Freelancer in any sense - the only similar thing is the fact it's set in space

[@dsagent]

ImpactedWhisper I agree freelancer is more of a complete game with a better story. Which is funny since it was released with half the game missing.

[@iplop]

hah, at 19:39 you can hear his android phone ding when he says "Good Old Games" ;D

[@scottmanley]

No, that's my Apple Watch, no way I would own an android phone because of the platform's privacy and security issues.

[@ImpactedWhisper]

But of course the many times the icloud has been hacked, or the xcodeghost, one-text crash and hack, and so on :P Apple products can have just as many security issues as Android, the only reason it appeared the other way around was because Android was originally a more popular OS, but since iOS is becoming so popular more hackers are spending their time to breach the system. I'm not saying Android is safer and as a general rule Apple does have better security but both platforms have their security issues. Thankfully there are plenty of ways to easily protect your data on both OS's

[@charliebrownau]

Gday I managed to check this game out . I was really impressed with the flight controls . Yet another let down that it is single players story line without coop or online

[@sunscream4525]

Getting a definite Zen/ORAC vibe from the onboard computer

[@FBobby]

This kinda reminds me of Colony wars.

[@madcatlover7554]

Galaxy on fire two is similar to this but it has an amazing storyline

[@HazzyDevil]

Madcatlover lol galaxy on fire were made by the same developers of Everspace

[@Zamolxes77]

So you're Ironman and Jarvis in space :)

[@maximator7966]

I stopped playing after I got to the 6. sector once with loads of nanobots and nano injection kits and I was immediately torn to pieces...RIP

[@brandon3883]

Scott, I'm not so sure how many people here even "get" your reference to Descent. Cuz We're Old.

[@scottmanley]

You do know there are at least 3 contemporary Descent clones/reboots in Early access right now?

[@brandon3883]

Obviously not? :D

[@liamsmith882]

cluster mine missles and heavy missles work well on covets the scout is to weak to do to much of damage.

[@bjoern_eberhardt]

Has anyone tried comparing this game with Microsoft's Freelancer? The career mode with credits, ship hull, shield, weapons, asteroid fields, visible cockpit, missions, bases, upgrades, enemies and fights are so similar...

[@scottmanley]

This is a simple level by level progression, no open world like freelancer.

[@Nbc66]

yay

[@GunnerRA155]

Freelancer update?

[@scottmanley]

Would be nice if dev team would take the game engine and remake freelancer because this feels fast and lightweight like freelancer does.

[@GunnerRA155]

I played with TFL back in the day and had over 800 hours last time I looked (those were logged with Xfire which sadly no longer exists :( I had played after the death of Xfire but dont know how many hours.. ) I'm an Elite: Dangerous Hutton Trucker now! :)

[@mr.j6737]

if you want to take down corvettes, try out the corrosive-missiles ;) 8 of them will take down a corvette, dont even worry about the shield or those little shielding drones ;)

[@scottmanley]

+Mr. J yeah, usually I don't have any left, still don't have blueprint to craft them when needed either.

[@mr.j6737]

Bummer, guess i was Lucky to get the blueprint early on. I think you get the blueprint When you buy the heavy fightership 🤔

[@mesittingduck]

hmm looks like those gates and animations, clone states looks like they have been pulled straight out of Eve online.

[@iankphone]

reminiscent of Strike suit Zero.

[@scottmanley]

+Ian Kennedy Strike Suit Zero is way more fun but the graphics and effects can't compete with this.

[@VanderJamesHum]

MR STANLEY!

[@megaapplepie]

If elite dangerous had a story

[@1rafayal]

it's like a deeper, better looking Strike Suit Zero (also a good game imho)

[@scottmanley]

I prefer Strike Suit Zero because it's a much more target rich environment, so many enemies and explosions.

[@1rafayal]

still trying to get a decent place on the Strike Suit Infinity leader boards...

[@KashouWannabe]

Who else recognises that ship AI voice from Robotech?

[@StoicJ]

if only Scott hadnt spent the entire game up to 18 minutes in first person. Can't see nearly as much that way and it isn't a cheap cockpit overlay game.

[@solarisaint1]

it took my payment, but would not let me download it , no reply for a refund , be aware when odering.....

[@Ramotttholl]

Use a controller... makes it easy to shoot strave and aim at the same time. (looks like your strugling with that.)

[@scottmanley]

Tried controller, didn't like, meanwhile M&K has me on my 6th DNA fragment.

[@bensonburner3852]

Still better mission structure than Elite Dangerous.

[@photonpattern]

I played it in beta and without a story it was just too grindy. This has enough new and weird stuff going on that I like it a lot. If Shadow Warrior and Descent had a baby... it's shallow, it's cliched, it's kinda grindy with just enough progression to keep me going back but this is *not* Deep And Meaningful hence YMMV. Would recommend to a friend.

[@torstenfunke]

Kind of a first person version of EvE online

[@JeroenDStout]

I understand the convention, but it's so strange to see someone talk about personal things while also controlling a spaceship in a dangerous situation. Not very elegant.

[@IRMentat]

Already seems more engaging in gameplay than elite. Much less momentum in the flight model though.

[@lemememister1742]

aay refresh squad

[@PunaJussi]

That "crosshair" is horrible :|

[@d00kiebird]

Agreed. It's too bulky and obstructs your view of what you're trying to shoot at. One of the things that needs to be fixed before I consider buying.

[@spongejacobw123]

one word to fix your problem, "modding" to make your game exactly how you want it, at the cost of slightly breaking the game or slightly making it unstable...(sometimes)

[@d00kiebird]

as of right now, Everspace does not support modding and there is no promise that it ever will.

[@BastiVC]

Annnndd bought.

[@karlmudsam2834]

Hi

[@calebwhite6173]

This looks alot like galaxy on fire 2.

[@Bahcorp]

At least medical technology it's still the same.

[@negativespace3233]

Wow, they really fixed up No Man's Sky

[@Svilly12]

I found this game amazing for a short period of time, then I hit a wall and have zero motivation to play it again.

[@Epicburst]

Hot Dogs This. Unlike Elite Dangerous, there's very little to progress for, and is mostly only interesting the first playthrough. Amnesia plots never work, and this plot is just like all the others

[@NeonsStyleHD]

This game has hardly changed in the 10 years it's been around in different versions.

[@IVI00101]

Scott Manley - king of spoilers.

[@starfyter87]

Yeah, took him only about a minute this time to have me go from "Hey this game looks pretty neat" to "Dude! Doesn't that seem like the kind of info that would be better off told organically by the game rather than spoiled right off the bat?". I guess just another reason why I should ignore absolutely every video of his that isn't KSP, and look for outside sources to have a preview of something that looks interesting... No clue if it's the biggest spoiler here, but still a very bad precedent.

[@TroublingStatue]

Don't worry about the story. It's kind of shit anyway, so you are not missing anything.

[@scottmanley]

You know the 2 story sequences I showed were from the start of the Tutorial mission and the end of the tutorial mission.

[@Blottingpaper]

Might be good to mention that so the whingers are satisfied.

[@LKAChannel]

GoG is not called "Good Old Games" anymore as far as I know. It's just "GoG" now fyi

[@scottmanley]

+LKAChannel yeah, but saying Gog sounds dumb so I call Gog by their Good Old GName

[@LKAChannel]

Scott Manley makes sense :)

[@guilhermesfk]

Look unless GoG now stands for "Gore on Goblin's" it's still Good Old Games.

[@LKAChannel]

Guilherme Sabino they said they are just pronounced "Gog" now but either way, I was just being a smartass

[@Keklord_]

Ah... 30 bucks?

[@Skeys13]

damn spoilers in the first like 2 minutes

[@scottmanley]

It's a roguelike, if you care about story you play Mass Effect games, not roguelikes.

[@Ryaurezh]

Fir--!!! Dammit!

[@sparky20100]

How No Man's Crap was supposed to be...

[@ImpactedWhisper]

That's really getting tiresome, also no - NMS was 'supposed' to be a fully explorable open-world sandbox, not a rougelike space shooter, Everspace is nothing like NMS was 'supposed' to be.

[@sparky20100]

Oh come on.. making fun of NMS is always fine.. of course Everspace is different, kinda hard to find 2 games exactly the same eh? And yes, NMS has a definite shooter element.. end of the day, to each his/her opinion

[@InternetStudiesGuy]

I'm kind of thinking "Procedural X3"

[@spacekraken666]

THIRST

[@lemememister1742]

you weren't firsts

[@obothehobo173]

notification squad

[@themasterofbulluk2413]

Pffft GoG...

[@GabrielAKAFinn]

One of the best stores out there for games. Since it actually sells you the game

[@themasterofbulluk2413]

Nope it only allows you to download them.

[@GabrielAKAFinn]

What Yes you download them. You buy it, it's yours.

[@themasterofbulluk2413]

The thing is you can download it without buying too, through gog.

[@MrAkurvaeletbe]

Wow this looks amazingly boring and simple...

[@scottmanley]

It's not.

[@johnsummers9660]

I thought that as well but the survival elements and the procedurally generated levels keep you playing. You'll never do a run more than once. Every time you play it's a new game. I have yet to complete a full run but I'm still enjoying playing the game.
