So many space games

Elite Dangerous or Star Citizen would be similar to that. Where the latter is aimed to achieve (and go further) than what freelancer was aiming.
No Galactic Civ 3 love in this thread?
But yeah, space games are just popping up left and right. It's awesome.
Seconded.

Thanks. I will change my seven years old PC when the VR battle will be over (I guess we'll see a winner quickly in 2016). I was looking for Elite, SC will never be done..
Rebel Galaxy is the closet thing you'll get to Freelancer right now.

Hmm, it looks like I could run it on my AMD X3 720

Successors to the games that first hooked me on pc gaming.

It's already happening. Distance, GRIP, Drift Stage, Krautscape, Road Redemption, 90s Arcade Racer, Drive Drive Drive, Drive Any Track
And after Dangerous Golf, the ex-Criterion guys want to make a Burnout 3 spiritual successor
Looking into this, I actually found it, liked it and then forgot about it. Any idea if it's going to be on Steam and how it's looking at the moment development-wise?

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
You have a good taste in games.
I'd also like something in the veins of Freelancer again.
Rebel Galaxy was pretty cool, though I never really liked the combat in the game.
We need a Subnautica appreciation thread. Shit's amazing.
Although it's probably best to wait until it's out of Early Access.
But it's amazing. So amazing.

All these space games and it's making me really want a new Star Wars game that has space fights!

My wife loves this type of thing but I find it difficult to like most space stuff. Perhaps it's the fact that it all seems a bit samey to me. I loved Mass Effect, but I was watching my wife play something where you just fly through space and basically look for resources and it made me tired. Space RPG's are rad though, I just can't get into the space exploration or space dogfighting thing. It's cool that the genre's getting so much love though.
Your wife made some poor life choices, but, ultimately, has good taste.
That would be Squadron 42.
Though even that is to a degree openish. Tight narrative sequences but also more open ended Far-Cry ish sections.

Ah thanks. And how about if you wanted to go full dogfighting, no RPG elements, any others?

Are you vaguely insulting me because of my very inoffensive post? No reason to be mean dude, I certainly wasn't being mean at all. I agree that she's got good taste though, even if it differs from mine.
Make no mistake, there aren't any RPG elements to it; Unless you consider Conversation choices, but even that was in Wing Commander.
Pure story driven (and only) dogfighting, there is none. That genre has been dead and that is why Star Citizen is crowd funded.
Simply being facetious since the correlation between life choices and video game taste is pretty thin.
Just messing around, no offense meant.

I lift my glass to this trend, and hope it continues until my dream of a first-person, planet-hopping war game comes to fruition.

Okey dokie. I generally like your posts quite a lot so I figured you were joking, but I perceived it as a bit more hostile then you usually come off so that's my mistake
There is also Space Engine, it's not really a game yet, but it's a very beautiful procedural generated space game. Worth a look if you have a beast PC and love space. YouTube comment of that video nails it, it's basically space porn.
edit: its free too!

Never have to enough space games. And who knows maybe it'll help start jump more interest in the real world. 🤔

The first was pretty good, now they are going full 3D models.

Well it's in space, I'm playing Mass Effect 2 for the first time and I'm LOVING it.
Played Mass Effect a couple of months back and will play Mass Effect 3 in Sept/Oct probably.

Dreadnought's one of those game that you NEED to play to really understand. Everyone I've shown it to doesn't get what's so good about it, and i was kinda the same way until i played it. But mannnn is it fun.So many incredible games in this thread, makes me so happy.
But you forgot two, guys!
Dreadnought
Agreed, though anyone who prefers capital ships to fighters would probably be interested to begin with. That's how I got hooked in.
And man, did I ever get hooked deep. It could easily be my GOTY.

Nothing about this seems driven by moneymaking concerns (at least as a primary motivator).

Is it out yet? Looks awesome
Alpha at the moment, which I considered odd, since they were talking about beta last year. Though, Yager is developing it, so it could very well be them wanting to ensure what they put out to the public is as high quality a game as possible.
Also Battlefleet Gothic, Wings of Saint Nazaire and X4 is aparently in development.
X Rebirth with all the latest patches and expansions is actually not bad, it scratches that itch at least.

Phenomenal game, I was just about to post it!
I still have some major issues with it - The
URV station building mission still is terrible
and with 20 hours post 4.0 patch I still haven't
Been able to craft the jumpdrive or the SETA which seems mandatory because there are no highways in Toride
I wanted this game to be good - but I certainly agree it scratches an itch - of the games posted what else would you consider - what else "scratches the itch" of a hardcore X3 player who was let down by Rebirth?
