This past Thursday, I got a quick hands-on withCodemasters’Jumpgate Evolutionfor the PC, a MMOG set in space. My hands-on time consisted of my low level ship shooting down six enemy ships and, well, that’s it. I don’t play MMOGs so I had no idea what I was doing.Jumpgateis something I would really want to get into though, since it’s in a Sci-Fi setting. Plus, thatwholeEVEincidentreally perked my interest to this type of online game.There’s a beta that, and I believe I have a card somewhere around my desk giving me access to the beta too. If any of you start something up, please make a thread in theForumsso we can start a DestructoidJumpgategroup.Otherwise, take a look at the trailer and the gallery below for screens and artwork fromJumpgate Evolution. There’s also a product description after the jump describing some of the game’s features.Jumpgate Evolutionwill be out this June and will probably be able to work on your old sh*tty computer rig too. Maybe.PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:Jumpgate Evolution is a definitive action-based Massively Multiplayer Online game set in a glorious, yet fierce new universe where the sheer vastness of space is your ultimate playground.Jumpgate Evolution brings together popular elements from all time classics such as Elite, X-wing Vs Tie-fighter and Privateer and combines them in a living, breathing persistent world.
