Miner Wars 2081 is a 6DOF action-survival space-shooter simulation-game set in the year 2081, 10 years after the destruction of all planetary objects in the Solar System. You operate an advanced mining ship in a fully destructible and open-world environment, which remains persistent as you complete missions or play online with others. Realism and survival are key aspects of gameplay. Inventory and the way you use resources such as fuel, ammunition, oxygen, ore, and weapons are important when surrounded by dozens of warring factions. The gameplay is driven by an epic story and offers a choice of single player, co-op, and death-match multi-player. The story will introduce you to many types of missions: rescue, exploration, revenge, base defense, theft, transportation, stealth, search and destroy, pure harvesting, racing, or just flying around and destroying everything you see.

I'm actually willing to buy this if it wasn't for the Needing to be constantly connected to the internet. Come on people, I won't even touch Diablo III because of it either and now this? Even Ubisoft finally changed that ridiculous ****. There's no logical reason for it and its just going to detract people. Plus its unfair to those of us who have poor internet connections.

I have to agree with your criticism. Im a friend of one of the employees that works for Keen software. and he said that it was to prevent piracy. Butt He assures that in 10 years or so they will release the server software. but heres the thing. very little people have ****** internet nowadays, so I dont know why there are some people that use dialup....

@int_SiPlus_void When you get low FPS in MW (should be pretty rare today) - it's mostly because of bad algorithm (dumb programmer).

@steveuk89 Hehe

@int_SiPlus_void No we are not kids. We are super old. C# isn't best but has superior compiling times (seconds vs. minutes in C++)

Mar 14 2013, 11:05am

@prudislav We have released new DirectX build, this one should work better with Optimus
