Not impressed at all by video in the OP. Thanks for alerting be to the possibility of a decent MOO4, though.

I like how the preorder/DLC/whatever race is humans. But like humans are already in the game. So the extra race is just more humans, except they are humans from a different planet I guess?

I don't know but sounds dumb. Make a loving alien you idiots.

I liked the bugs because they build a lot of ships to bomb people with.

You counter the dumbness by having more planets because you bombed other people off of them.

Used to play MOO2 multiplayer where you had to take Uncreative, which gives you a random tech from the category you pick (if I remember right)

Made for some weird ship build outs and interesting fleet fights.

Hope MOO4 doesn't suck.

Then you use biological weapons and they're all, "how dare you, all we do is slag planets until they're uninhabitable. you disgust us!"

Master of Orion 4 is coming. This is a newsflash for all those old-timers who missed this tidbit of (probably? maybe?) good news during the summer news cycle. The IP was bought by wargaming.net and it looks like they plan to release several revisions of the game.

It looks to me like this first iteration will be close-ish to the original, attempting to not alienate the fans who have been waiting for a successor to MOO2 for almost 20 years already

The homepage contains some dev diaries (pretty thin on content), a forum and some screenshots. There is also a demo/presentation video of sorts from PAX AUS 2015

It's supposed to show off that the physics are at least somewhat Newtonian I think, which most space game nerds like.

So - some news on this. Looks like the voice casting includes Star Wars' Mark Hamill, Alan Tudyk (Firefly), Michael Dorn (Star Trek: The Next Generation), Kat Cressida (Haunted Mansion), John de Lancie (Star Trek: The Next Generation), Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street), John Kassir (Tales from the Crypt), and Dwight Schultz (Babylon 5, The A-Team).

The Early Access 'Collectors Edition' will be available from the 26th of February.

Kind of excited :P

This! A million times!

Who, in their right mind, gives a flying wet gently caress if Mark Hamill and Robert Englund do some voices in a game like MoO4 or not?
Christ, if this is what they are spending the dev budget on then they should be lined up against the wall and be summarily executed and the game be handed to a company that isn't run by post-lobotomized windowlickers!

these aernt the same people, the people that made MOO3 were hung for their crimes years ago. these are just people that bought the name, and from the interviews you can tell they hate MOO3 too

i don't care who made it and who didn't make it. they're using the moo name now i want their moo apology.

that game was so bad it ought to have killed the franchise for all time if you're going to bring it back you have to understand you are basically inheriting the sins of the father so give me a loving apology for moo3

Hmmm. I do drink a lot of prune juice in the morning.

Nah, gently caress these whippersnappers and their dumb "new" games. They ruined the Elder Scrolls. How can you even do that?

Still rather play lots of 4x games that whatever number Assassin's Creed is on.
