Grab the New “Legends of Pegasus" - X'or Alien Race Screens and Overview

[Image: attachment.php?aid=819]

Bracknell, UK, 5th July 2012

Kalypso Media today released new images and information about the X'or, one of the three key races in their upcoming 4X space simulation, Legends of Pegasus. Download the new asset pack to learn more about this mechanical alien race, which is playable in both the single-player campaign, and in the multiplayer modes of Legends of Pegasus. Legends of Pegasus will feature an extensive single-player campaign, coupled with robust multiplayer options will keep players engaged with their space fleets for countless hours.

Kalypso will release Legends of Pegasus for Windows PC in the UK and Export Territories in August 2012.

In the 23rd century, mankind made tremendous progress colonizing the vast extents of space. Man built huge spaceships, colonized new planets and even used terraforming to transform uninhabitable worlds. Soon, new races were also discovered. The first contact was friendly and peaceful. But peace can be deceptive…

Legends of Pegasus takes you to an epic journey into space and mixes real-time and turn-based strategy. Players will expand their civilization in the galaxy by colonizing new planets, building factories, laboratories and shipyards, researching new technologies and designing new space crafts to keep on exploring new galaxies. Battles are played real-time and decided not only by your tactical skills, but also by your strategic decisions and the design and equipment of your ships.

Legends of Pegasus offers a massive single player campaign, during which the player will discover three very different races. Multiplayer features Internet or LAN gameplay, against Human or AI opponents. If you like designing your own game yourself, numerous modding options will certainly make you all the happier. The spectacular 3D graphics don’t just bring life to marvellous planets, but also to the stunning spaceships you can freely design thanks to an intuitive building system.

X'or space structures like this shipyard are some of the most impressive in the whole game.


LoP_Xor_Screens_5:
Sheer mass and diversity help the X'or prevail in battle.

A X'or ship destroying a human shipyard with beam weapons.

It would be nice if the game supported Ambient Occlusion...
All spaceships and object animations would have more impressive shadows on their surfaces.

Here is a link of what Ambient Occlusion can do from the official Nvidia site...

August 2012 will likely be the greatest month of 2012. I'm glad to see that a complete game is a bigger priority than one that meets some unrealistic release date.

I've seen (and played) too many games that were released in what was essentially a beta stage. Thumbs up to you guys for taking your time to get things right. The screenshots are epic

While the screen shots look decent, I am sorry to say, but it seems like your focus is heavily on "beam weapons", and the few videos and screen shots you have posted regarding space combat leads me to believe you are just having "rays" coming out of the ship, and not actually setting your visual effects to look like they are firing from the actual weapon.

A good example in my opinion, would be to look at what Sword of the Stars has done in reference to combat animation and effects. What I am looking for in a quality 4x space game, is not just good functionality, but also creativity in terms of the combat system and how it "feels".

If a ship's weapon systems being used do not "feel" like they are impacting and damaging a ship, then it lowers the overall quality of the game play experience.

I have some real concerns about your game with such limited game play videos, and a lack of diversity to show case the combat system besides "beam weapons" which seems to be your main seller.

That is sad to hear, as many of these features are pretty standard in today's games including many older games. All we can do is wait and see how your finished product looks and feels. You folks are 30 days from launch and it honestly feels like your trying to sell your game with more hype then actually showcasing what you have to offer using in-game videos.

Oh man, this game looks complicated, to which I say: Awesome!

None of this dumbing-down games to make them more "accessible" to the general public!

This game is over 10 years old , Hegemony Legions of Iron http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmjJpy4ub...re=related it had one of the best visuals in space strategy games at the time. It was qute ahead its time.Didint like the gameplay much. Strategy screen, world managment and AI was limited...but space battles were just uumm, njamiii...

After the release will you be updating game beyond bug fixes? Gameplay features and visual features?
