3000AD announces Galactic Command: Talon Elite, though the announcement of the next installment in the GalCom science fiction combat series discusses Echo Squad at least as much as the new project, which is due late this year or early next year:
"We've taken quite a bit of flak for signing our first non-niche title, Echo Squad, to an exclusive subscription service.
But what most people didn't know, is that like our previous Battlecruiser and Universal Combat series', GALCOM was planned as a series. Unlike our previous games which lumped all gameplay aspects into one really - really - huge and complex (according to some) game, the design of GALCOM was from the ground up to be split. In that we took all elements (space combat, planetary flight/vehicular/first person combat etc) of our technologies and split them into bite sized chunk."
So, what you have are several games in the series and all targeted at a specific genre and audience.
While Echo Squad (exclusive to Turner's GameTap gaming service and which will debut this July) focuses on a team of gung-go space combat pilots based within Terran territories and mostly a defense force assigned to a specific fleet, Talon Elite focuses on yet another group of gung-ho combat pilots; albeit the best of the best.
The Talon Elite guys fly different fighters, engage in different and more dangerous missions and all deep - deep - behind enemy lines. Relying only on their fleet for support, there are no friendly stations anywhere near where these guys operate.
The Talon Elite missions are on the high end of the dangerous scale.
The game is on target for a Q4/07 to Q1/08 release and a public demo will be released this Christmas season.
