/tg/Station 13

So a thing happened at E3. It was pretty vague, but this logo...

Dean Hall did say multiple times how he was inspired by games like SS13 in his development of DayZ and whatnot.

Who knows what this 'game' will be, though I would hedge my bet its just a reference.

Jesus christ how horrifying.

what the fuck

wow

I am mildly afraid.

Like any ss13 rerelease attempt, it probably won't actually ever come out OR It'll come out but never even approach a state where it's fun to play. Good luck though.

Should we be concerned about existing NT logos and stuff getting trademarked and then us getting takedown shit? I know jack all about copyright law, is that even possible?

it's not possible.

also that's 100% definitely a nanotrasen logo.

well if its going to be simplistic enough to be ported to xbone i somehow doubt it can live up to the ss13 name

I doubt its going to be anything like SS13, but it was a nice little reference.

Also

>space shuttle immediately after this shot is called Exodus
>the name of the space station in Baystation 12 is NSS Exodus

definitely a reference

I think Invisty was the one who made the logo?

Man, we should show this to him.

This is just going to be some shitty Space-Engineers/DayZ mashup.

Anyone crossing their fingers for a 3D open world SS13 game with cluwnes and mimes and corgis is going to be disappointed.

Considering its Dean Hall my expectations aren't high, but this was completely unexpected.

Oh. Well, whoever it was was definitely from tg

Not trying to be argumentative, but I'd have swore the N logo was on uterus, meaning either it existed prior to going open source
Or it's ollllllld as fuuuuuuck

It's one thing to take inspiration from another person's work. It's entirely another thing to completely take a piece of content from that work, especially a logo, something which is SPECIFICALLY USED for branding and identification. Not cool.

Honestly I think its just a reference, plain and simple.

Its not like SS13 is pure of never using its own references from other media's.

>media's

Steelpoint, why must you torture the grammar nazi inside all of us.

Because I stopped caring, if you want to waste time arguing over issues of grammar than go ahead.

Oh boy, this game probably will never get into any functional state.

How did you make those? They're so... retro.

persistent world with permadeath sounds dandy and all, but very few of those games succeed. Usually it means vast concessions have to be made in order to not let a select group of hardcore gamers dominate a game.

DayZ and H1Z1 had the same issue with large groups going to a server and just taking over major areas and killing everybody, or swarming random servers, etc.

PVP games in general where you can form groups usually end that way.

In Archeage for example, Goonswarm was on my server, the one guild owned almost the entire game including enemy territory (They couldn't attack you unless you attacked them, but they could also just hide in their houses and they were usually over-geared compared to everybody because they owned everything.)

My searchfu isn't showing much up, it might have been Dhool?

Depends... if its only used in the trailer as an easter egg then its within Fair Usage.

If they have something in the game beyond an easter egg then its not fair use.

Yeah, he would have been my second pick.

Seems like he is perfect for the role, being a SS13 fan.

As for the content shown it definately has the right vibes, at the end as well that clearly shows that death isn't an issue with clones being around. Also seems to immply the world is connected. Maybe it will be along the lines of people being free to create their own station with others joining, with traitors and such randomly appearing. Like the escape shuttle actually brings you to arrivals at another station that kind of stuff.

It's an homage

Though he's a hack so he shouldn't have been the one to reveal our secret clubhouse to the normies like that

it's just a fucking logo

"Players will build, live in and inevitably die in huge floating galactic constructions as humanity makes its first steps colonizing the universe," according to the trailer description. "Technology from Improbable allows ION to have a massive interconnected universe with fully simulated environments such as power grids, air pressure and heat; all to help stave off the unending vacuum of space."


Improbable is the NT corp so far

Improbable isn't an in game thing, it's a literal company that's providing some level of support on this.

It's like they made the initial atmos station 13 version of SS13 and Dean wants to build it up as spessmens

Just like the original...

Has potential

But like everything early access, it means nothing until it's actually playable

This.

Making a good game out of this concept is going to be incredibly difficult.

And I can't really say DayZ was that much of a success in the end...

From what Dean said it seems like this is going to be more like a massively multiplayer space stations game thing, that's the impression the trailer gave me. Not really like SS13 in the sense of rounds and gamemodes, definitely going to be different.
</speculation>

So in that case I'd say more reference.

I don't really see how you can say "reference" considering Dean basically wants it to be the same game.
