For some reason I have fond memories of the first Aquanox. Well, aside from absolutely godawful voice acting.

The setting was unique. Combat took place in three dimensions, but without the absurdities of a typical space sim.

If devs concentrate on mission design and have meaningful NPC interactions within stations, it could be a pretty interesting game.

None of those guys had anything to do with Massive Development. They call themselves "The Aquanox Team" in order to fool people into thinking they were the developers of the originals. Those are simply guys hired by Nordic to create a sequel to an IP acquired from the JoWood bankruptcy mass (similar to how Hobgob's Grimlore Games was hired for Spellforce 3 - but at least they don't call themselves "The Spellforce Team").
It's also the reason this is Aquanox and not Archimedean Dynasty: Aquanox was published by Fishtank / JoWood, whereas Archimedean Dynasty was published by Blue Byte, thus the rights most likely belong to Ubi Soft today.

yeah, reminds of that Descent kickstarter, except iirc on that team nobody ever worked on anything even similar, let alone at Parallax, Volition or even Outrage

would not back even with somebody else's money

50,000+ with some time to go before their KS is over. Looks like they'll make it...

Aquanox Team
Die Main Story ist uns sehr wichtig, und wir legen sehr hochen Akzent daran, es gut wie möglich für Euch zu presentieren. Auf der anderer Seite ist uns ebenso wichtig, das dieser Spiel für Euch UND für Euere Freunde in einer eventueller Co-op Mode mit einen hochen Fan Factor geniesbahr ist.

FFS... Analphabets answering questions. And no - this is not a Google translation. Google doesn't make such spelling errors. Really... this is not good. With people barely able to speak and write, what should I expect from the game? No thanks. I'll pass on it.

Main Story wird richtig geil, versprochen. Coole Scheiße haben wir da ready. Release Termin folgt.

Death of the German language.

11 mistakes in two sentences is impressive.

Wow, that sounds like German equivalent of some Russian or Ukrainian team's attempt at English on their Steam Greenlight page.

Game looks pretty tight. If the exploration and non-combat stuff is good, the game might turn out better than ED.

Powerups and weapons lying around like in an old FPS is kind of weird. I hope the game does a little bit of open world stuff too.

 

[spekkio]

Looks like Aquanox awright...

A belated Gamescom trailer:

 

[Anthedon]

New gameplay video by GameStar (in German):



It's supposed to come out this year.

 

[Silly Germans]

I did like Aquanox 1, the atmosphere was quite unique. The soundtrack, the german voice over and the art design were all great, even the writing was far above average. Overall a good, tight single player game without any bloated shit. Is anything known about the single player in the upcoming game ?

 

[Burning Bridges]

looks boring as fuck

 

[Wirdschowerdn]

Looks like UE4 game #128374

 

[Sratopotator]

It's available on high seas already.
Did anyone try it out? As shitty as advertised?

 

[JDR13]

Eh? I was starting to think this was vaporware.

That's either a fake or an old alpha/beta version.

 

[Goose]

Descent under water?

Edit: after watching some videos...eh

 

[Peachcurl]

Steam release in 22 hours, it seems. I'm gonna try.

 

[fantadomat]

Hmm i will give it a shot,the old one was pretty good,even if missed opportunity.

 

[Jenkem]

mostly negative reviews on steam, german publisher reviews say the game is slow and the AI is shit...
and apparently you have to pay $10 for the true ending..

DLC:
Exclusive behind-the-scenes look into Aquanox Deep Descent. See how it was made, starting with initial concepts, through different production phases until the finish line. On top of that, enjoy piloting Manticora ship and watch an extended ending.
