Jumpgate Evolution - Teaser

Published 26 March, 2008 Duration 1:10

Don't let the space setting fool you into thinking that Jumpgate Evolution is, er, jumping on the Eve Online bandwagon. Net Devil are describing their game as a 'twitch-based space combat simulation', presumably meaning that there'll be more shooting than shipping.

"Bogeys heading North"

North in space. Make sense to me.

"Twitch based space combat simulation" yet still MMO?

Even with that tenuous distinction, if I were CCP I'd be calling my lawers right about now.

"Can't do fantasy...duh... let's do spaceships!"

Originality may not be dead, but it's in a critical condition.

jumpgate has been around for ages, and last time i checked you can't copyright genre. Anyway this is closer to the X series than EvE.

You're right, you can't copyright a genre. I can see in this video clear and quite blatant copying of design elements though.

I don't know much about the history of the game, maybe it's CCP who were "inspired" if it's been around since before 2003.

However, judging on this video I'd have to disagree that it looks closer to X than EVE.

FladgeMangle, the original Jumpgate was released in 2001. The graphics looked not nearly as polished as what we see here, of course.

Which design elements are you referring to, if I might ask?
