Jumpgate Evolution trailer contains a few lasers
Filed under:
PC,
MMO
We've been wondering what was going to set Codemasters' upcoming spacefaring MMO
Jumpgate Evolution apart from other, longer established astronautical online titles. The answer might just be in the
new trailer for the game which you see above --
lasers. More lasers than a San Francisco warehouse rave. We've done the math, there's an unprecedented 158:1 ratio of lasers to seconds of gameplay shown. That is a
great deal of lasers.
Also,
from what we've seen, it's probably going to stand out due to its fast-paced, dynamic combat and gorgeous visuals -- both of which lend themselves to laser proliferation. If you want to get your hands on the title,
they're currently accepting beta applicants -- otherwise, your pilgrimage into Codemasters' final frontier will have to wait for
Jumpgate's June release.

Dunno what that search url was supposed to point at, so I just changed it.
You had a beta confirmation on this yet Berk?
I'm still waiting for one. I may have to change my details a bit - lose a few limbs, become transgendered and darken my skin tone. That should do it.

Nope, still no beta for me

The original jumpgate was fun when I played it.
Mostly I'm hoping for massive freelancer with a more wow style PVP system.

Really? The only thing I can see it having in common with Eve is that it's in space. Jumpgate seems more like Freelancer to me, as Berk says. In fact, the combat system in Eve seems more similar to Warcraft than Jumpgates does (ie, select a target and hit number keys until it dies).

Freelancer MMO style would be great. Hell, even WoW in space would be kinda cool. Eve is too slow for just logging in and dicking around a bit.

Yes, looks good. Gief.
EDIT: Now I'm a 52-years old Azerbaijani guy with something equivalent to a Commodore 64 waiting for beta.

I get it on some, but not on others. I think it's mostly the source and how well it was transcoded or something.

What Deej said.
+ Shitty tiscali doesn't buffer very well on some things and I get that stop start crap on some of the dodgier encodings. Doesn't help.
