Imagine playing a game back in 2004, back when everything seemed like it was perfect. Anime was good, gaming was at it’s highest in quality in years and it was just before the release of the current generation of games. Now imagine, one of these games from the golden days appearing before you, but was built with today’s standards in FPS’ gameplay. How would you feel about that?

I wonder if they have put a release date out yet for it. It looks fun...
Yeah we dont really have any games like this. Mass effect is the closest I can think of right now.
By using the term precursors it reminds me of Star Command (I think that was the game). You would pick a race and fly around to planets and then get into space battles and expand your territory. At somepoint you explored the precursors and found out they were all wiped out by an alien race that ate sentience. You had to build a sentience well to have the aliens move on (though I could be getting two different games confused).
In any case, it would be nice to do a little galactic exploration so I hope this game turns out well and is released soon.
