"Your aunt gave you that ship and asked you to meet her in some backwater galaxy. "The game kicks off with a number of story missions," Baldree says. This ship can be obtained through a number of gameplay methods. The biggest ships are close in size to the Empire's Star Destroyers and are loaded to the hilt with firepower. The introductory ship is bigger than you would expect, looking a little bit like Princess Leia's Tantive IV from Star Wars: A New Hope (seen in the image above). From there, new ships can be purchased, and that process can start all over again.
WING COMMANDER PRIVATEER GALAXY UPGRADE
One of the big hooks of the game is to upgrade this vessel, adding new warp technology to it, a tractor beam, weapon stations, cargo capabilities, and basically customizing it how you see fit. At the outset of the game, the ship is a derelict piece of junk, looking like something hobbled together poorly that might not even be space worthy. The real star (or character) of the game is the ship they pilot.
In Rebel Galaxy, the player basically plays him or her self. Baldree and Shaefer told me development is moving along nicely, and they hope to have the game out on PlayStation 4 and PC in 2015.
The names may ring a bell, as they were the co-founders of Runic Games, the studio behind Torchlight and Torchlight 2. It's an ambitious blend of genres and games, yet the development team is just two people: Baldree and Erich Shaefer. Baldree continued his comparison, saying, "if you took Sid Meier's Pirates, Star Control II, and the naval combat of Assassin's Creed: Black Flag, and you sew it together with a little bit of Wing Commander: Privateer – that's sort of what this is." Described as "space combat, trading, exploration, adventure, slightly RPG," by Double Damage Games co-founder and developer Travis Baldree, Rebel Galaxy is one of the games that caught my eye the most at Sony's PlayStation Experience in Las Vegas.
