Defining that Indefinable Quality (September 26, 2012)

[AD]

The latest commlink article introduces the newest poll over at the Roberts Space Industries website. The question asks us to reflect on what exactly is it that defines a Chris Roberts game.

Here are the choices:

• The cinematic storytelling; that feeling that I was ?playing a movie.?
• The visceral quality. That sense that you were really there fighting aliens instead of playing a game.
• The technology. Chris? games were always on the cutting edge.
• The scope. The idea that it's bigger than what I've seen before, no matter what it is.
• All of the above; a Chris Roberts game needs to do everything.
• It doesn?t matter; I trust Chris Roberts to come up with something I want to see!

The latest Time Capsule has humanity recruiting in the face of war. Things are really starting to heat up! Read it here: 2541: Awfully Crowded in My Sky.
