This is NOT Star Control.

I don't mean to be a killjoy here, but this game is, quite clearly, NOT a reboot of star control 1 and has thrown the old fluff in the trash.

 

Humanity did not manage hyperspace travel until the Chenjesu encountered them and recruited them into the war with the Ur-Quan. The alien we saw looks like a reject from Gal-Civ 3 to boot. Why not remake Star Control 1 while honoring the original game and it's backstory instead of pretending that you know better?

 

What made Star Control 1 and 2 so good is it's rich backstory. If you want to make a game that is Star control, you work with what is present. You don't take what people love, throw it in the trash and then call it a "Reboot".

 

Sorry if I am not giving this my usual Star Control fanboy screams, but I remember the disaster that was 3, this looks worse.
