Starfighter Origins Remastered

The game looked good and I thought everything had been fixed due to the Developer's comments, but, in spite of the ABOUT THIS GAME Section saying it has been remastered and "Designed for Hotas keyboard and mouse with full controller support", this is a blatant lie, as the controls are most limited, making the ship handling clunky... and THERE IS NO HOTAS OPTION WHATSOEVER! I'm asking for a refund and forgetting about this game forever...

[h1]TL;DR[/h1] Campaign achievements not unlocking after the first mission. Robot voice may overlap during gameplay depending on how rapidly one presses targetting or speed matching keys and abruptly ends during loading screens. Music also ends abruptly during loading screens. Sound levels cannot be independently adjusted, infact it cannot be adjusted at all in-game. Other than that this game is close to AAA standard in presentation; graphics, voice acting, cutscenes and music. Considering that all development it's mostly done by a one man, it's really very impressive. Shaun T Williams is probably as talented as Chris Roberts of Wing Commander, Privateer and Freelancer fame [b]Review 1.05 update[/b] Can't comment on the state of the game before this patch because i bought it recently on 5th Jan 2017. At first i thought the random crashes are still present. After extended testing with various hardware and software combinations, i can confirm 2 major causes of crashes. One is the System Metrics, a new hardware monitoring feature in the AMD Crimson ReLive Adrenaline Edition that is incompatible with the game, especially during cutscenes. The other is due to an external USB headphone …

There are elements in this that I like better than ALL other space Sims and I'm a huge space sim fan. Definitely far from perfect and seriously needs joystick support. I haven't played far into the game at all but I love the mechanics of the ship in flight and the screen in your cockpit is absolutely amazing when in combat. This game has a lot of potential in my opinion. Definitely worth a try.

I will give this a positive review for now because I could see that it looked very promising when I owned it. But I did refund it ages ago due to having lots of issues with the controller support, but now the devs say that is fixed and they are soon to release a remastered version which I am very excited for and hope it has become the game I always new it could be, so I will definitely be checking it out soon after release.

First play. Immediately noted that this DOES NOT support my Saitek X52Pro stick/throttle set. I find nothing to change that. It appears that it only works w/rodent & keys. Maybe some of y'all that use console-type control thingies will have better luck. The grafx are decent on my 2020 model homebuilt gaming PC. So far, it looks like it MAY be a fun game, but for me, a long-time flightsim/gamer using a nice controls setup, I'm already wishing I didn't buy it. I'm a dumba$$, I 'spose. Anywho, gotta go fiddle w/control-keys setup. Grrr... Recommended? Nope, at least not yet. Dagnabbit. I'll play w/it a lilbit more, til my patience expires, and finish this review.

Can anyone get a hotas to work with this game ?
