Hey folks!Do you all remember Sol Contingency, that promising Unreal 3 recreation of Descent that Interplay shut down? Well it turns out that Interplay failed to kill it and now (as a brand new IP) it's about to release its initial closed beta, soon to be followed by an open beta and full release later this month. The current iteration is a fully functional multiplayer game that will be released for free in order to promote an upcoming Kickstarter campaign with the aim to create a larger singleplayer game and expanded multiplayer in Unreal 4.
They have a new gameplay trailer up on their website and it looks really sweet!

Still looking forward to it.
Closed beta? The last announcement I had read was about going public ...

Complicated stuff happened involving IP distancing among other things.

Re: Remember Sol Contingency?
I'm only guessing here but I think the IP distancing Fox mentioned happened after the end of August. I got a chance to see the game in August and between then and now two weapons have been completely reworked...
In any case after playing SolC for a few days I love it. It's not perfect but it's one of the most fun multiplayer experiences I've ever had.

Re: Remember Sol Contingency?
Yeah, Yoshi's on the right track. Cuz as it turned out we needed to do a bit more -- also getting the Eclipse into its current state took most of the time between then and mid-October.
I think it was worth it though...
