Sounds to me like the closest we’ve come to a modern version of Elite, and certainly the first game to make me sit up and take notice as an alternative to eve.
Anyone else heard anything about it?
No not yet, it’s still in development. In the FAQ section they say they’re hoping to have an alpha at some point during 2009, and they have released a combat prototype which I’m downloading from here
The Infinity Combat Prototype (latest version: 2.2.a) is a standalone game that has been released and improved upon the past months, as a way to test many components of Infinity before it is finished.
This is a completely separate program that only shares the engine. It does not represent what you will find in Infinity. Its goal is, namely, to test: the graphics engine, the physics engine, the networking engine, experiment with controls / combat mechanics / balance, to improve stability/fix bugs and measure/stress performance.
The combat prototype is not meant to have a deep gameplay; do not expect any form of planetary landing. 10 ships are available to the players. The gameplay is arena (team vs team) based, while Infinity will be a fully open “sandbox” type of game.
