Rebel Galaxy Outlaw

I bet it’s spoken word erotica.

No release date yet, but a roadmap of what they have planned. PC release, launch support, console ports, modkit, and then steam.

still super excited but having to wait for the xbox version is gonna be rough

I’ll double dip if there’s an Xbox version. So that part is easy for me.

Since we’re all chiming in, I’m hopeful there’ll be an Xbox version, too. I’m not counting on it, though, so it’s looking like I’ll have to play on PS5 (going out on a limb and assuming back compat there).

XBox is really just down to how successful the game is.
If it does well, I’mma seriously consider just paying somebody else to get it done and deal with all the cert nonsense and perf tuning and shipping.
The same might go for accelerating shipping of the other console SKUs - just gets down to how it goes.

From the roadmap:

I suspect you already have GoG in mind, since Rebel Galaxy is there, but that would be my preferred storefront. I’d like to have a DRM-free copy, especially if the mod scene takes off.

edit: I mean ‘when!’ When the mod scene takes off! * sends out positive vibes *

Epic Store is DRM-free, is it not? Although I guess you can’t really download an installer to save for later.

The Ubisoft games I bought from EGS use Uplay, so they aren’t DRM-free. Haven’t tried anything else yet. Can you run non-Ubi games without the launcher?

I can run Satisfactory without the launcher. I know because the friends system doesn’t work if I do

RGO will be DRM-Free on the Epic store. Just the raw game.

Well, that’s good to hear. Let’s hope that if the EGS goes the way of all flesh, customers have some recourse.

I mean once it’s out there as a raw binary, cat’s out of the bag, right?
You wouldn’t even have to find a cracked copy if for some reason you deleted it and needed to re-download. And you bought it. So.

True, but without a downloadable installer, how the heck does the layman know where to put everything? Gone are the days when “installing software” meant copying a file from a floppy/CD to an HDD (in the late 1980s/early 1990s on the Mac, that’s often all that it entailed).

When it gets installed, it literally just throws all the files in the folder. It’s not sprinkled all over the hard drive. It’s pretty darn close to old school in that regard anyway.
I.E. you could copy the folder, paste it on another machine, and it would run. I’m sure there’s some dependencies that you might potentially have to install in weird circumstances or at some future date (somehow you’re missing some of DX11?) but…

If I play through 100% completion of Rebel Galaxy, will I burn myself out for the release of RGO? I have no idea how closely related the 2 games are, and I’ve had Rebel Galaxy on PS4 for a very long time.

They’re completely different types of game.

As Stusser says, very different.

Rebel Galaxy is larger ships with broadsides on basically a 2D plane (a little wiggle room to avoid collisions). Rebel Galaxy: Outlaw is a fighter/dogfight style space game. They’re both in space, you get missions and you blow stuff up, so in that respect you have some similarities but I doubt one would burn you out on the other.

Awesome - thanks!
