    That… actually looks pretty great. I love the Expanse universe. Both the books and the show were awesome and some of my favorite sci-fi of all time. I hope this turns out as great as it looks!

    Is this real? Omg. I was a little disappointed with the SGF announcements so far, but this would be huge for me.

    The Expanse is by far my favorite Sci-Fi universe ever. I’m not sure how it’ll go for Owlcat, but damn does this make me excited.

      I recently did a rewatch of The Expanse and as much as I enjoy it generally, I felt like the last season was meh.

      The grit was gone and felt like the show rushed near the end.

      Maybe it’s just me though.

        I know it’s been said a thousand times, but the books really are immensely better than the show. And they have a proper ending! The last 3 unadapted books are arguably the best part of the series, and Alex is there since there was no dipshit actor to get himself fired.

          TIL that Cas Anvar got fired. Damn…

          Of the principle characters, I felt like he was one of the stronger actors, with Amos (Wes Chatham) being the strongest.

        the problem is there is supposed to be 3 more seasons/books to wrap up all the hanging thread, including what happened to the gate builders and the Martian rebels.

    Had some of the details super close, then screw up others. Hopefully it’s good though.

    1. She tips the “bulb” of drink despite having just snatched it from the float beside her (whats that gonna do?).
    2. The ship spins to decelerate (would have been done long before “just arriving”), then spins again under fire despite not being slow enough. It should be dodging and returning fire whilst burning to decelerate, it’s why the turrets are turrets after all.
    3. The station is under zero or very low g - but the drone needs constant downward firing jets to hover in place?

      Thanks, seems extremely irritating for a franchise that — except for the protomolecule (and related sufficiently advanced alien shenanigans) and the Epstein drive — prides itself on its realistic physics; you’ve convinced me to blacklist both the game and the publisher on Steam.

    Would never have guessed Owlcat’s new game would be in The Expanse universe, or that it would be an action RPG, for that matter.

    I’m a huge fan of The Expanse so I’m going to check it out regardless, but I don’t know how this is gonna go.

    I don’t care about The Expanse, but I do care about Owlcat. I’ll have to keep an eye on this one.
