Futuremark teases space dogfights, UFOs and cats
What appears to be a multiplayer spaceship combat game and something inspired by cheesy B movies are among the projects being teased by the maker of Shattered Horizon in a trailer, presumably ahead of announcements at E3.
E3 is almost upon us, doubtless with heaps of new game announcements in tow. For now, though, 'tis the season for cruelly teasing and hinting at new projects. Futuremark Games Studio, developer of zero-g FPS Shattered Horizon, is joining in the fun with a teaser showing off three new projects, including a spaceship shooter, a game apparently inspired by UFO B movies, and something with a microscopic cartoon cat.
The spaceship combat game looks especially exciting. Small attack ships are seen engaging each other in dogfights, and making attack runs to destroy parts of larger vessels. It appears to be multiplayer, not to mention quite gorgeous.
"In true teaser spirit, we are not revealing any further details today: no titles, genres, or release dates," the developer said. "If you like to categorise your news and trailers, however, you can tag this under PC, XBLA and iOS. We will leave it to your readers to guess which platforms apply to each game (there are only 343 possible combinations)."
For my money, the UFO shlock is probably headed to Xbox Live Arcade and possibly PC too, the spaceship-o-rama is for PC and maybe XBLA, while the cat game's on iOS.
"We will share more details with you soon," Futuremark says. Hey, E3's soon!

I bought 2 copies of Shattered Horizon and played it a ton, and even got some of my feedback ideas made into the later patches (flare and decoy grenades were my recommendation on futuremark's getsatisfaction.com site).
This teaser even uses Shattered Horizons music. I'll for sure be picking up like space sim on release. -
