| When will Subspace End? |
| 2dragons | Tuesday, February 20, 2001
How
long will Subspace last? This is a simple question with a hard answer.
If time is taken to recognize what Subspace is it can be seen that it is
a uniquely awesome game. It has only be recreated once in the inferior
game Infantry. (Never heard of it? Don’t waste your time with finding
and trying it out.) Subspace, designed for ease of use, limited
requirements, and great replay value is one of a kind. Yet, is this superb
game behind in time? Subspace is a two-dimensional game, it lacks a
sequel (which it doesn’t need), and was ditched and forgotten by its
creators.
Personally, I’d like to see Subspace never end, hopefully that will be the case. With the current players and their support it should last forever. When however will the game of Subspace be out of style? Will it fade out when everyone has virtual reality in their home? My bet is that Subspace never dies… I figure though that the Subspace community will not grow proportionally to the human population and will slowly fade into an obscure game. |

New Client
No doubt we are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new Subspace client called Continuum. With this new client brings many new changes that may take place to the game. We will no doubt make it much harder for cheaters to have their way, but we can also enhance the game. The 256 color bitmaps can be changed to 24-bit so that more colors can be used; this will enhance the look of everything in the zone. However, how many changes do we make before the game no longer is Subspace? Some people want new weapons, new tile shapes, new ways to configure the server. Do we really want to do all these things? The creators of Subspace made infantry, but Subspace has something that Infantry does not. Simplicity. Subspace can run on almost any machine, and takes little time to download. While with infantry it takes a fair machine and a very long time to download, not to mention to download the levels themselves. So before you urge the developers to make mandatory shipset downloads for your zone, or for round tiles, remember, this is Subspace, and simplicity is one of the things that makes it great. -Jagr |
| SS Not the Same |
| Rude Awakening | Friday, February 2, 2001
I
have noticed anymore Subspace is just not the same. We have lost alot
of the people that went to major lengths to make this game fun. Alot of
the good zones are gone or have been forgotten. Even Subspace sites
have been really cut down. Before you would see SSNET, SS.DS98.COM,
SSHQ, SSZONE.NET, Ein's Minefield, SS.NMEBASE.COM, the list could go one
forever. Now you only see a few sites and some sites are not nearly as
updated as sites before. The only two major SS site's out there
anymore is SSNET and SSHQ. Maybe things will get better and at least
there is more Subspace players now, but things are changing and I am not
quite sure if it is all for the good.

10 Reasons Showing that I Play SS Too Much!
1. My friends groan every time I say Subspace. 2. I don't know the name of any game released in the past two years. 3. I have more friends on Subspace than I do in real life. 4. I don't give a crap about graphics cards, I only care about ping. 5. I drive 100 mph all the way home to make a squad match. 6. I spend 3 hours a day in class reading SS forums. 7. 5 years on one game? 8. Social life dims in comparison with Subspace. 9. Ever heard of playing subspace with your eyes closed? 10. I could list 10 zones in SS faster than I could list 5 states in the USA |
