Why haven’t I posted about Futuremark Games Studio’s self-published, FPS-in-spaceShattered Horizon?
That’s a damn good question, really. As a lover ofDead Spaceand all things similar in nature to that game, I’m required by law to tell you aboutShattered Horizon. Unbeknownst to me, itwent up on Steamon Wednesday; apparently I am alone in this, because it’s sitting in the top ten sellers section.
The main draw here is easily the zero gravity gameplay. Imagine a multiplayer session with 32 people in deep space. More specifically, on an asteroid. Bingo! Sounds sexy, huh? FGS shot us over a new video aboutShattered Horizon‘s other neat feature called “silent running.”
Yes, there is no sound in space. By default, your character’s suit simulates audio to make the game more enjoyable. But with silent running, you can turn all audio cues off, meaning “a stealth advantage while sacrificing radar, HUD, and maneuverability.”
I need a DirectX 10 graphics card, and I need this game.
