death to all IP lawyers. modern games are all fortnite clone over-the-shoulder battle royale microtransaction games, even single player games have microtransactions and locked over-the-right-shoulder cameras. every time i see a new game i have to temper my excitement until i see gameplay footage to check if it has that godawful fortnite locked-to-the-right-shoulder camera perspective, which they almost always do. all 3rd person games should either have centered cameras or the ability to switch which side the camera is on so i can aim around cover to the left sometimes instead of always moving right or having the disadvantage against those who can.
i hate modern gaming, i’m going to go play Terra Nova: Strike Force Centauri (the Terran Hegemony did nothing wrong)
Over two hundred years before the beginning of the game, Earth is subsumed by a world government called the Hegemony, whose “Publicanism” philosophy PC Zone summarized as “communism without the economic restrictions”. The Hegemony annexes colonies throughout the Solar System, but the inhabitants of Jupiter’s moons reach an agreement that allows them to relocate to Alpha Centauri, where they settle on the Earth-like NewHope and the frozen Thatcher planets.
so the villain is super communism and the protagonists are a bunch of space neoliberals that named their planets after fucking Margaret Thatcher?
SERIOUSLY! i read the lore entries in-game and almost every single thing they mentioned about the Hegemony was incredibly based despite being presented as some unspeakable orwellian evil lmao. like way more lines saying stuff like ‘hegemony citizens all get healthcare and food and housing’ than the bad stuff like ‘they are ruled by a class of orphan oligarchs’.
