Spaceships Ahoy - DarkStar One

CDV announces the North American edition of DarkStar One has lifted off, and that Ascaron's space combat game is now available in stores like the German version that preceded it. An English playable demo for the game has been available since the end of June (story), and here's word:

CDV Software Entertainment USA is proud to announce that DarkStar One, the epic space adventure developed by Ascaron, has shipped to North American retail. DarkStar One puts players in the spacesuit of a young hotshot pilot as he struggles to understand the mystery surrounding the death of his father, while also uncovering the secrets of the mysterious ship – the DarkStar One.

DarkStar One, lauded as “the best game of its kind” by key North American media, is an open-ended action/adventure title set in a huge universe populated by a variety of unique alien races. Players will take on the role of an intrepid young adventurer, Kayron Jarvis, as he explores space, upgrading and customizing his ship – the DarkStar One. The game's story, written by renowned German Fantasy and Science Fiction author Claudia Kern, will immerse players in a tale of action and intrigue as Kayron searches for answers surrounding the death of his father.

DARKSTAR ONE - DVD Routine & Game Sync Issue

Dear Community

DarkStar One enjoyed a successful international launch over the weekend, with strong sales across countries including the UK, America and Australia.

However, alongside this success we are aware of a specific issue which gamers may experience when running DarkStar One. On certain systems there is an error which prevents the disc checking routine and the game working seamlessly together. The main symptom of this is a typical framerate of 10-20fps. While the bug affects only a very small percentage of systems, we acknowledge that this is not acceptable, and we offer our sincere apologies to customers experiencing this problem.

Fixing this problem for the community is now our highest priority.

We are currently working on and testing a Beta patch intended for public release on Tuesday 15th August.

Thank you to everyone who has sent us feedback, both by email and through the DarkStar One forums. We genuinely appreciate the patience, understanding and support shown by the community throughout the DarkStar One project.

With kind regards

Ascaron Entertainment

I really dug Freelancer, for what it was and I'm looking forward to Darkstar One. The only thing that is keeping me from really being hyped up about Darkstar One is the lacking multiplayer mode.

I really don't get into sims... it feels too much like work like the X series. Freespace 2 was really cool though, because it didn't feel like work.

Anyway, I'll probably wait for Darkstar One to hit the bargin bin before buying. 40 bucks seems kinda steep... I'd be willing to pay that much if the game had multiplayer.
