I didn't like it at all !!
From the movie it looks like Wing Commander arcade game ... It seems to have nothing to do with SC games , ships are unrecognizable ... It seems from the reference to Crux they have taken Accolade's path , even though you defeat and befriend all it's members in SC3 ... The only thing to connect it to SC world would be the brown Ur-Quan ...

Big files that can't be read. Fabulous.

Although I remember looking at a few screenshots at the time, this is the first time I've ever seen gameplay video.
Having said that, I'm really glad this game wasn't made. I think this would have made SC3 looked like an all time great. I remember reading that they were going for a Colony Wars type game, but this looks a lot worse then anything I ever saw out of that franchise. Granted, this is basically beta footage, but I'm happy the Star Control franchise never officially went down this path.

It looks like the game was well-designed, but they didn't think too much about gameplay. Is that ship supposed to be a VUX Intruder, or is it just a sort of flagship?
Personally I don't think successful 2D games should be evolved into 3D games. Leave 2D games as 2D, and just let brand new titles be 3D.

Yeah I also struggled to play the .avi.
But got it off starcontroller.com
All I can say is that it looked to be a turd of a game. I think it would have bombed big time if released.

And this is why we should leave such things to TFB, and not try to do it ourselves (I lasted up to 1:45 and then fast forwarded the rest). I greet the idea for making new SC games, but am revolted at what my eyes see - making a "shoot'em up" from SC??? Wth?! It looks like a bad copy of Freelancer or something 
I'm all for innovations and all, but making a legendary space adventure game into an "space FPS" is simply wrong.
