      After what HiRez did to Ascent, I am out on any game the ship until they prove they won’t do it dirty.

        The studio behind this one (Prophecy Games) is independent from them now, but still contains some developers who also worked on Ascend. I know from hanging around the forums at the height of that game that there was at least 2 headstrong devs in the company that legitimately wanted to do the game justice (and one of the best updates to the game was headed up by them), but they ultimately were at the mercy of the execs. I’m hoping without the same constraints, they might deliver a kick ass game without the bullshit.

          I really liked parts of Ascend, but the game never really came together for me. It felt like they were focused on the high speed esport angle, but I was looking for the base assault/defense plays.
