    Space. Legs.

    You have them. You can’t really use them. Such is the way of the grind towards actual gameplay in the modern age.

    Meanwhile, Futuremark had a fully 3D space FPS back in 2008, called Shattered Horizon. It never really took off, but if you imagine those duels in Ender’s Game in zero G, it was like that except you could thrust in any direction. Such an untapped dimension of gameplay, up and down were all relative and you were never really safe behind cover.

        I think the bigger issue would be finding someone to play against. Although I haven’t tried in 12 years.

          There seem to be people in the community trying to set up games.

            Speaking of 3D battles nobody is playing I want people to play Rogue Squadron again. It’s all rebel vs imperial fighter battles it’s so much fun. But it’s totally empty.

      Not sure why you brought it up, but I did love the shit out of that game for the few months it had a decent player count. There really hasn’t been anything since to replicate that style of true zero-g combat.
