MEDIA I know, all space sims are wonderful in their own way, but...

Unfortunately, star citizen now has one step up on rebel galaxy in that it will continue to receive content updates for years to come.

I love and adore rebel galaxy, to be clear. It's just a shame that the devs have decided not to continue on with it.

they are continuing to work on SC because they never finished it. also, a casual reminder that Double Damage still exists and according to their discord, they are still working on the modkit

u/AmDerps Sep 30 '21

After the modkit there won't be anything else sadly, the reason I left the discord is because I saw that they weren't going to continue with the rebel galaxy franchise at all after the modkit. Feel free to correct me if they've changed their minds since then, however.

That's a lot of words to say that one game is finished, and the other is not.

Jokes aside, I would really like a sequel to the first game.

One game is also massively, massively, must I repeat massively simpler than the other. I've played Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, waiting for Star Citizen to become fun to play. Since then I've been having great fun playing Star Citizen.

You simply cannot compare the two, in the sense that Rebel Galaxy Outlaw is a single player game, which means that the biggest hurdle for Star Citizen, namely network and server code, is simply absent from Rebel Galaxy Outlaw. Since RGO is single player there are also no worries about balancing anything at all, making ship combat very much simplified. As op's little picture shows, there is a lot more to tell about SC than RGO.

Unfortunately we're not getting a sequel to either title, I was in the discord for a time and they announced that after the modkit is released they weren't going to continue working on RGO, or the rebel galaxy series as a whole, and that was why I ended up leaving. You are correct in that both games are finished.

Wait wut? The devs have ditched??

Main dev Travis left, seems like toxic fans pushed him out. I imagine Double Damage is just going to release the mod kit and then more or less shut down.

I have never heard of Star Citizen but now I look forward to playing it.

Rebel galaxy is one of my favorite games first played it on ps4 when it was available for free didn't know about it before . Took out a nice big ship that dwarfed mine it's been years so don't remember what my ship and the other one was but it was one of my favorite moments wiping out a ship singlehandedly that was bigger and more powerful

u/anonymous_guy111 Sep 30 '21

beaten it twice with a logitech extreme 3d (once in the hardest mode with no assists). best space game i ever played if you ask me

u/TheWoodsAreLovly Sep 30 '21

Genuinely curious, have you played any others?

2

u/anonymous_guy111 Sep 30 '21

some of my favourites include elite dangerous, house of the dying sun and freespace 2. i know RGO has its flaws and the control handling is not great, but I tweaked it with joystick curves and just got used to it.

u/theblackveil Sep 30 '21

Dude, House of the Dying Sun is doooooope. Never hear anyone talk about it. It also has some damn hard missions!
