Ok so i dunno if this has been posted yet so excuse me if it has, but was browseing neocron forums (used o play it) and saw this.
We are very excited to present the Black Prophecy Teaser Site. We've been wanting to make a space game for a long time, and here it is You probably have a lot of questions about Black Prophecy, but there are quite a few things we can't talk about yet. However, we can assure you that, like Neocron, it will be heavily focused on fast-paced action combat, with many options to improve your ship, character and weaponry. The game will be presented at the Games Convention in Leipzig this week, however it will not be shown to the general public, but only to the gaming press. We'll let you know when we release new material on the teaser site though.
There will also be new information about the Neocron2 content update after the Games Convention.
Now i did love neocron for its pvp style (just the engine was a tad old and buggy :|) so maybe this could be the one that rivals EvE! (no?yes? i dunno just thought i would share ;)).

Meh...looks interesting but also from what the features say, there's nothing dynamic about it. No player-run economy, no conquerable space, no infrastructure to assemble and destroy. Though the graphics look very nice, it won't be stealing my subscription any time soon. Also, if a game has to proclaim itself a "next-generation MMO" then it probably isn't. ------------ Whiners - Unite! Tarminic - 26 Million SP in Forum Warfare. |

I was willing to be open and unbiassed about it but when i saw the name REAKTORR i shuddered.

Looks like a small scale Eve ripoff with better graphics and less clue.

I think it looks good.
Bottom line, eve DOES need some competition badly... competition drives excellence and if some doesnt come along for eve then we have to put up with a game that will slowly drop in quality as CCP wont feel that overpowering erge to be on top of the pile. Being an eve fanboi is fine, but simply dismissing all other similar type games because they threaten eve is an immature and narrow minded way of thinking about it.

They said themselves that it will be in no way as complex as eve. They want it to be sort of like Neocron was. Their game neocron was GREAT for pvp. However they had horrible advertisement and horrible support. There were so many bugs that they have still yet to fix. However this new game has been built on a new engine which HOPEFULLY has been tested thoroughly unlike their previous ones...
They have stated that they know they will be compared to EVE and expect to be compared to EVE but they wouldnt have created Black Prophecy if they were just going to make an EVE Clone or a game similar to EVE. They dont want it to be nearly as complex.
"It is definately not our goal to make the game as complex as Eve Online is. We are focussing on fast-paced realtime combat with a deep and exciting mission system and story. In comparison Black Prophecy will be a Space Action MMOG while Eve Online is a Space Simulation MMOG."

Says "Up to 300 people" in a fight, that worried me at first, then I thought, well hell, Eve can't do 300 people in one fight.

I hope this becomes good competition for ccp More pressure to them for releasing stuff sooner, and with more quality.

When I was playing Lineage2, people used to come into our forums and talk about how Blizzard was so great. Look! They'd say, "their devs interact with the community!"
Indeed, until launch, the WoW forums were amazingly mature. You could actually converse about the game, it was almost like what a MMO would be like if everyone's personal information were public (ie, polite).
Come launch, the smacking started. Then the complaining. Then the "devs are ignoring us", then the "oh sure, CMs are everywhere, but only in silly community threads and who cares anyway, we want devs not CMs!".
I guarantee you 100% that CCP will have a better game and better service than your new pick of the day game. For the simple reason that for all that there are year old bugs in this one, its not at Beta launch. This crap about other games being more friendly or caring or interactive is b/s. Its devs will be busy, they'll be watched by execs and accountants wanting to nurture the game towards profit, the players will be polite about the product until they gotta pay for it, and the servers will still go down in somebody's favourite gaming time.
Even now, as one of the wealthiest and most succesful MMOs out there, Blizzard has the exact same issues as a 3 branch company based in Iceland. - Farmers, occasional bugs, game play balance. You're not escaping that anytime soon. Good luck.

The ship in the menu looks like 3 ships stacked on top of eachother. The screenshot = meh nothing new.

The graphics are nice, but that's to be expected for a game that will come out fall 2008.
Conquerable, upgradable stations, but I doubt it willl replace the whole 0.0 scene.
Not a word about manufacturing, or player-run economy.
As for the gameplay, I guess it will be like a mix between Eve's customisation and Freespace II combat. It might just work and make a good game, but not really threatening Eve. ------------------------------------------
