PC Gamer - To paraphrase George Carlin, Planetary Annihilation is proof that at some point, someone was playing an RTS and thought, “You know, I want to drop a planet on top of those guys over there, and this game just won’t let me do that.”
If you’re having these sorts of thoughts, it helps if you’re Jon Mavor, co-founder and CTO of Uber Entertainment and a veteran developer who worked with Chris Taylor on both Total Annihilation and its spiritual successor, Supreme Commander. Today, Mavor launched a Kickstarter for Planetary Annihilation, a real-time strategy game that takes classic TA/SupCom gameplay and expands the battle across solar systems full of worlds, moons, and asteroids.
VRFocus - Kirkland, Washington-based studio Uber Entertainment is already diving into virtual reality (VR) development. Back at E3 2015 it was announced that Wayward Sky, its upcoming ‘look and click’ adventure title, would now be coming to the Project Morpheus head-mounted display (HMD) for PlayStation 4 having originally been in development for the Gear VR mobile HMD. Now it’s been revealed that the team is also working on a VR experience for its popular real-time strategy (RTS) series, Planetary Annihilation.
I (Jack, The Gaming Ground) have been playing the stand-alone expansion pack "Titans" (Planetary Annihilation) for days now, and I enjoyed the game so much that I decided to do a Q&A interview with Uber entertainment. And this is what John Comes (Uber entertainment) had to tell me/us.
James Schumacher writes: "The $39.99 price tag may be a turn-off for some, but I'll bet the $FREE price isn't. It seems like this may be a bit of a, "please don't be mad at us anymore" gesture to backers and followers who hit various levels of disgruntled from mildly annoyed to severely agitated over some of the developers choices."
Pledged! I so want to drum up more support for this project. If it just barely scrapes the $900k it'll be ok but if we can get it to Kicktraqs estimated trend of $3.2 million then... most of those stretch goals will be a done deal. Any takers??
