Fractured Space vs Star Citizen
Fractured Space
Fractured Space is a sci-fi-themed MMO game from Edge Case Games that provides the breathtaking visuals of any game set in space and also an impressive space combat mechanism that may bring to mind the vast battlefields of strategic (as opposed to Rambo-styled) action MMOs like the ones from Wargaming, specifically, World of Warplanes and maybe World of Warships. The game features a ton of starship variety in addition to letting you customize your ships whichever way you like, including handpicking your own starship crew and putting in custom decals.With a team-oriented gameplay, Fractured Space allows you to live out your dreams of incredible space battles, albeit virtually, in a game that focuses more on strategy than more in action. So, take command of your own starship today and enjoy epic dogfights in space!
Star Citizen
Star Citizen is an incredibly ambitious and yet highly anticipated (and not to mention, hyped-up especially players who simply adore the genre) project to create the world's very first open world, sandbox game that's set not only in space but also on the many different planets and other locations that you happen to land on/dock to. The game will be pretty massive and it is developed on an as grand a scale as an indie company possibly can. The end product - the game's currently in early access - might end up looking like a Star Wars/Star Trek-like world that's equally in-depth and likely as diverse. Of course, the science-fiction/futuristic feel simply adds to the enormity of the game.However, being the type of game that even triple-A companies have never yet attempted before, the developers have drawn some flak in regard to the chances of actually finishing the game development process and giving their players - the people who had bought and funded the game - a complete game to play. Many critics think that these players will get burned in the end, but for someone who has grown up somewhat obsessed with almost every "space frontier"-type series ever made, I do hope that Star Citizen will be able to reach its true potential even if that means the downloads will take a painfully long time to complete.
