A nod to the classic space station sim Startopia has been announced, and it looks much as Two Point Hospital was for Theme Hospital:

The launch trailer is... well, it's not that it's bad, more that it's going for funny but the jokes are terrible and delivered badly. For a game that's at least partly reliant on humour I'm not sure that's an encouraging sign:



Steam page:

The original is still a great game; I'm not sure what would make me buy this rather than just play the old game again.

Very close to the original, apparently:

But with a bit better combat (which, even as someone who likes Startopia, was abysmal).

I replayed Startopia fairly recently, it's still good but definitely showing its age a bit (and due to the combat I just cba with the final mission of the campaign this time around). Still keeping an interested eye on this.
