Overload Playable Teaser 3.0

This is going to be a great game, but please do not preorder everyone. Make them finish it first. That said this teaser is pretty polished already. Very excited.

Everything I've been waiting for all these years. Ever since Descent 3 stopped being compatible with newer systems, I've been looking to find a game that would follow in its tracks. Sublevel Zero, a love letter to the Descent franchise as a whole, did a pretty good job at filling that void. But now I'm excited to see what the original guys behind it all have in store for a fully-fledged revival of the genre. If I had one major complaint, it's that controlling with the mouse feels absolutely dreadful. Both axises just refuse to work together, and moving in a diagonal angle is a nightmare. Even Sublevel Zero managed to nail mouse look down to a tee, so I'm not sure what's going on here. Too much focus on joystick maybe? Oh, and the FOV really needs to allow a wider angle than that, 72 just isn't nearly enough. Other than that, amazing job for a prototype.

This has been a great demo. I have not had this much fun or been challenged so desperately to survive in a very long time. Overload is the next True Six-Degrees of Freedom shooter. Made by the original developers of Decent (the 90's 6-DOF shooter), this new "Revival" of their once great gameplay mechanics and intense level designs has made me giddier than a schoolgirl. The demo is well designed and showcases their classic style of movement and solid gunplay in highly revitalized and gorgeous graphical tech. Some people may be skeptical of flying though tightly designed levels with little more to do then destroy, destroy, destroy. Sure, the aged style of gameplay and lack of miscellaneous objectives that will be present will not engage all audiences; However- with that being said, Doom 2016 is the classic style of Doom gunplay and level design that has once again captured the fun and challenge of the original arena style shooters. So it is with Overload. This game will ensare the visual...

This is great! Just what I was looking for. All the fun of the old Descent titles updated to current standards. Can't wait for the full version! This is the ACTUAL new Descent game.

10/f*cking 10 it takes some getting used to definitely and it requires you to set it to keys you can press without reaching over your other arm or quickly letting go ofthe look buttons but i thoroughly enjoyed playing this awsome game, ive always wanted to just fly ships and shoot stuff and this is the exact game to play when youre bored, good music, pretty ok graphics and a smooth way to play, again its a bit weird when getting used to the controls but hell does it feel good once you do it

Exactly what it should be.

I'd buy that for a dollar! (or more, even...) Edit ==== Two years later: Where's the bloody game, brah? Edit #2 ===== Overload was finally released 31 May, 2018 ;)

I have high hopes for Overload but right now is seems like the controllers I want to use; mouse or HOTAS, are just a mess. Everything is overly sensitive, inverting the Y axis for the mouse does not appear to be working, there are no sliders to adjust controllers only some preselected 'steps' that go from Normal (too sensitive to begin with) to very, very sensitive (I am afraid to check those out). After a while I just gave up as it wasn't worth the effort to fight my flight hardware. If this problem can be fixed then Overload will be worth another look but until then I will get my Descent fix in Subzero.

As a diehard Descent 1 & 2 player, I am in love with the teaser. Feels and plays very much like the old ones. I'm just hoping that the full release comes with a mac version! Otherwise, this game is a 10/10 must have 6DOF space shooter. Congrats to the developement team, and thank you a million times. This game looks to be beautiful. ~Long live the Pyro~

Love it! I own Descent 1, 2, and 3, which I played on my G4 Mac. Still have the games and the Mac. I will get this game as soon as possible. I want to preorder, but I am not willing to give my credit card to be billed at a later date! How bout pay pal now! Attempted to sponser but was too late. Great graphics, good game play. I can't wait for the complete game. Bought the "official" new Descent, this is much better! Great to have the original people setting this game up.
