This game is sounding better and better, but it's hard not to scoff at the hype! I haven't read hype this hype in a long time. Here is what Symmetric Games would like you to do.
"Imagine playing Starcraft as a multiplayer Survival FPS. You land on a new planet, gather resources, build a base -- and get onto building an army of AI bots to help you in your quest. Then you take this army to your neighbor's base, and start a war. This is Outpost Zero. A new multiplayer survival FPS from Symmetric Games."
Yeah, you read that right. But how the hell are they going to pull this off? FPS Starcraft? What? Let's dig into this B a bit, shall we?
At its core, Outpost Zero is a deep sandbox FPS, where you fight aliens and defend your base against roving bands of pirates and enemy raiders. You attack enemies and their strongholds to destroy their operations and loot their resources, while upgrading your weapons and armor to keep current on killing. As far as base management goes, the planet is hostile, but you can turn a bad situation into an opportunity, by harvesting resources and building a stable economy, setting up mining outposts and supply chains to your automated factories, in addition to keeping your AI buddies outfitted and happy. You make living spaces for your colonists, and keep the base defended from the haters trying to take you down.
Outpost Zero has an announcement trailer below if you want to see how this is all going to come together.
