    And somehow when Carmack makes a purely technical comment about the PS3 while promising that they will get the same experience if not better than the other platforms fanboys say he's lazy. But I guess that's the keyword. Fanboys.

    @Shinryoma:
    One comment I read here awhile back said that John Carmack was "irrelevant". I could only frown and shake my head after reading something so ludicrous and uninformed.

    Best of luck to Carmack then, I suppose. It's nice to see that Carmack still has time to dedicate to other things apart from games. The man must live on rocket fuel.

    Great work by the Armadillo folks!

    There are two other teams taking a shot at this prize but Carmack's team have set a pretty high bar. The other teams would have to land more precisely than Carmack's and they were pretty close to spot-on.

    Their design is very scalable and the control systems will drive bigger spacecraft no problem. If they bolt 4 of these together they'll have something with a lot of potential uses even though it'll only be suborbital-capable.

    You need much, much more thrust to get to orbit and while I imagine they're working towards that it's still a ways off.

    Keep Carmack away from Mars. That's all I'm gonna say.

    In reply to Jumpgate Is Codemasters' Biggest Beta Ever
    Many of those "quarter million" beta sign-ups are very likely to be multiple submissions from the same people. I've submitted applications about 5 god damn times to the beta and I've yet to hear word one in regards to an invite, as have several friends of mine, and friends of theirs, etc etc.

    "Quarter-Million" means jack diddly if you don't limit submissions to one per person.

    Same here... guys... no key... with so much competition you would think more would get a beta invite.

    What I am looking forward to:
    Jumpgate Evolution
    Star Wars The Old Republic
    Star Trek MMO
    APB
    Final Fantasy XIV

    Some pretty stiff competition to come. The main thing Jumpgate has is the real time flight action. I can't wait... I tried signing up our whole guild from WOW, but still have not received a beta... like waiting for trillian astra beta from a year ago.

    @Benny: Don't remind me of that Trillian astra beta, you'd have a better chance of getting a PS3 price cut.

    I think the real time flight action makes it unique enough to keep it from being a competiton and more of an alternative.

    Someone said to me that CCP (EVE-Online developers) must be crapping themselves with these numbers - this beta has as many players signed up to it as CCP hit subscribers last year after a 5 year run of EVE.

    I must kindly point out, before anybody makes a similar remark, that the audience for Jumpgate Evolution is obviously a larger collection of people than the audience for EVE. It is natural that more people will be interested.

    The games cannot be compared, so don't even think about trying.

    Personally I have signed up to the Beta for JGE, but remembering how much of a disappointment the first one was... I am on the fence.

    @Jon:
    Yeah well age of conan had ridiculous beta numbers and a stupid amount of people that started playing... look how that turned out. Everyone quit in a month. Just cause you have a metric shit ton of people that WANT to play the game doesn't mean the game is good and that it'll translate directly into a loyal fan base. That being said... fuck eve.

    Signed up for the beta when the website launched. Haven't heard anything :(. Though, with CO and DFO right around the corner, I find my interest waning.

    I wish they would stop making Star Trek games where you have combat with the actual ships. Make one where you are inside the ship, and can walk around, give orders, etc. Travel to planets and shizz.

    @killah101: Sounds like "Star Trek: Bridge Commander" on the PC. Never played it, but I hear it was pretty good.
