Space Battles: Sci-fi Action Defined

Now I'm not gonna rant on to ya about how this post's title came to be but given the silly nature of the name, is the brand hit "Star Wars" much different? Given the nature how "Mass Effect" is pretty much the "embodiment" of all Sci-fi movie and video game material in an RPG form, Space Battles is pretty much that same embodiment but in an "Action/Adventure" form. Space Battles is pretty much a call for a cinematically-presented game in the spirit of such titles as Lost Planet, but the story "salutes" the original concepts of brand hits like Star Wars, Star Trek, and the like. Gameplay would a mix and mash of Lost Planet, Battlefront 2, and Metal Gear Solid, with a soundtrack prizing of techno-orchestrated pieces ala Lost Planet and MGS.

Now of course given the broad source of given inspiration of course it might boil down to a simple plot of "good guys vs bad guys", but we all know the source material and the game itself have and will push the boundaries of the "gray areas" of both moral and mindful connections. Also the game due to the source material would present a "unified" branch of different Action/Adventure styles of gameplay as the character's skills and settings will be varied or "mixed" play styles.

With such presentation standards the graphics will have to be top-notch, but given the technology breakthroughs of recent months the game could be a graphics-fest of both cinematic and gameplay proportions. Nothing short of a "movie-game" can be done to make this game a great sci-fi brand hit even with a very generic name.

That's pretty much it for now, see you guys soon.
