As a former Microprose employee (Alameda, CA studio), I am truly warmed to know that a developer in England (Correction: Australia), has somehow resurrected the Microprose label, and is carrying on in today's industry. I can only tell you that, I would give most anything to go back in time and hault the too soon end of the greatest single gaming developer of all time. Working at Microprose in those days (Falcon 4, Star Trek Generations, Star Trek Birth of the Federation, Masters of Magic 2, etc), was truly the best of times, for me. And I miss all those people I worked with. Cheers to the new Microprose. I wish I was working for your new incarnation. Best wishes and much success!! Updated info: Such a great community here. Thanks for your good thoughts and memories of old-school Microprose. I too was a fan before ever working there. As far as BoF goes, I did some models and textures for some ships, including the Klingon BoP and the Crystalline Entity, etc. Falcon4 was some tanks and all destroyed building textures. For the record, it was Falcon4 that killed us. Alameda was the final studio closure of Microprose back then, as Falcon4 profits failed. Previous to that, it was Hasbro Interactive that bought us out and kept it going in that last year or so; we were on the cusp of filing for bankruptcy the morning they bought us. So yeah, Falcon4 was our demise. But before that, in the last month or so, we were working on concept drawings and designs for Masters of Magic 2. A truly awesome project that unfortunately never saw fruition. Years before my work in the Art Dept, I QA'd a dozen games, including Star Trek Generations and XCOM Apocalypse, two favs. I can't even tell you the grief felt that morning of the big layoff/studio closure meeting. Suffice it to say, it was f*cked. Anyways, I'd be happy to share any other memories of the old-school Microprose, if there's any interest. One thing, during crunch mode times, it was either pizza or Chinese. Ugh. It took me decades before I could ever do pizza and Chinese again. Cheers. 😂
I was only 1 year old when Birth of the Federation was released but its still managed to become one of my favourite games! Good games have ways of making splashes beyond their years, and I hope to see the legacy of the studio you'ckntinked with continue too
Many thanks for doing this, man! We were already in your debt for your previous presentation, now it looks like you have done it again! We've noted all the critique, we know we still have work to do but we trust we'll have a good team of dedicated players to keep us on track for a great 1.0! Kudos again, looking forward to making a game that will get under your skin, eventually! 🙃
I wasn't impressed at all with the demo a few months back , but here it looks fun and my kind of game and now I want it ! How many hours of game-play so far would you estimate ?
@@stevec.1474 depending on difficulty level and playstyle, right now you can get between 10 and 20 hours. Most content creators took about 15 hours on hardcore but only those very familiar with the game. PS: Last demo was like 2 years back so the game has improved a bit
Even the Early Access Version and the previous Demos I played of Urban Strife felt more polished than Dead State a year after release though. I think you'll enjoy it. ^^
The primary inspiration may indeed be JA2 and other squad based and turn-based tactical games from that era (including Silent Storm). However, the Dead State comparison isn’t invalid. The similarity is purportedly coincidental but the devs specifically chose to include zombies in the game (instead of going the JA mercenary route) so it is difficult to escape that connection. As far as I can tell, Dead State is the only other isometric-view RPG with real-time movement and turn-based, squad level combat- set in a zombie apocalypse and in the Southern U.S. no less (Texas in Dead State and Georgia in this game). Even the notebook-like UI and the way character portraits are depicted as file photos is similar. At a certain point, the various points of resemblance don’t seem so coincidental. They can say otherwise but it is tough to believe that the devs, at least on a subconscious level, did not take cues from Dead State. In any case, I consider this a winning combo. I loved JA2 and enjoyed Dead State despite its clunky UI and endgame pacing issues.
did you like the latest Jagged Alliance? I couldn't get into it, something didn't ring for me long time fan of JA2 and it sucked that I couldn't appreciate it, will probably try again later when or if they add/change something
@giampaolomannucci8281 it's sure a different game. As soon as I saw promo materials I knew what to expect, and I hardly tried to not treat it like JA2.xx with better graphics and mods etc. And I had a lot of fun with it. It's a hybrid of modern xcoms with vanilla JA2 with old mercs revisioned for action movies more familiar with younger Gen. Overall It's really good and satisfying game, just made to be more for casual play than it's predecessors.
Dude .. the name alone "MicroProse" shakes the ground for older gamers . You mentioned "dead State" - an all time favorite for me - which i only wished for procedurally generated maps ..but ..
Urban strife? Sounds like a Steven Segal movie. Also starting out crouching around, definitely sounds like Steven Segal. If there's a mod that replaces zombies with normal citizens living a happy life and you terrorize them, it's the perfect Steven Segal simulator
Ever played Phantom Doctrine? It's an Xcom-style game but set in the golden age of spying during the cold war, CIA, KGB, SMERSH, James Bond, some of the best fun I've had in an Xcom-a-like.
I've been following this for five years and nice to see not only it getting attention but that I can play it. Managed to try it way back when they had just a single gas station level to go through. Went at it three times until I managed to get everyone through.
dude this remind me of an old game on armorgames, its called "The Last Stand - Deadzone" and ui is familiar with that one i remember back than it was really really good, number 1 game played to on that site, man i wish i could come back in time and play that thing one more time
I like Dead Frontier type over this type because dead frontier is online game where a lot of players try to survive while scavenging for loots. Not to mention in dead frontier you could make any building become your safehouse after you finished barricading every doors and/or windows. Hopefully there will be more games like that in the future. Although dead frontier limited back then with just free grouping without formal group/guild no guild HQ, no faction/guild war, no grand events, No World bosses, i still consider it as wholesome game.
7:06 that's such a cool design choice. If you consistently carried heavy loads it would make sense that you'd get stronger with time, maybe increasing your max capacity and thus requiring you to carry even more stuff if you wanted to get even stronger through this mechanic, but I haven't seen encumbrance being used for skill progression before. It's typically just a quick trade-off of getting more stuff home but moving slower and maybe getting a penalty to some combat stats. If implemented properly I'd expect to see a sweet spot where you get stronger (e.g. 5-15% over the limit), and if you're beyond that maybe your skills don't increase.
SCUM does this several rpg's have been experimenting with realistic health systems and macro/micro nutrition its really neat and more intuitive than it sounds
@@espasmemuscular literally came here to say the same thing! 🤣 Criminally underrated game. That and Tyranny are the top of my "Why does no one talk about this game?" list.
I've been looking for a new Dead State-like game for about a decade now and this is about the closest we've gotten to that so far! I played a demo of this about a year or two back and while it was pretty unpolished, it 'felt' pretty good. Looking forward to the EA release on the 10th!
Hey, Splat! Been a while since I've dropped by your channel, but it's always pleasant to do so haha (I'm working my way backwards down your video list lol) This game is very interesting with their leveling system, kinda reminds me of Skyrim. But it is a bit disappointing that you can't easily exchange inventory contents with your team; I hope the devs get around to tweaking this! Cool video as always 👍🏻
Certain things I'm good with, like the waiting for invisible enemies to move. I like that because it causes dread. I enjoy not knowing just how many are on the battlefield, how many I might awaken in the scuffle with others, and just what might be in those shadows. I don't know how you could do it in a CRPG, but it would be cool to have some reason to expect something in one direction or another, like a character hearing the snapping of a stick, and quick-turning towards it. The janky animation I tend to expect with nostalgia games... it's... do-able. One thing that does bother me is the Excel looking inventory system, like in the old FFTA, or Skyrim. Give me backpack Tetris. I love that crap. As for transferring stuff between characters, I get it if you're currently in battle. Otherwise, you should be able to swap using drag and drop on avatars. One thing that might be a cool workaround is a character tossing it to another with a percentage chance of catching it, or having to waist AP picking it up while fighting. Everything else I rather like. The graphics are cool, the animations are good. I like the morbid use of the knife after battle... lol I would make two slight changes. I'd make Bubba's character look more like his avatar, and I'd make use of unconscious enemies if there's currently only the option of killing them. You can have anything from forced recruiting them to your faction to dragging them around and using them as cannon fodder when needed. You can choose just how dark you want that to get... I didn't play a ton of MicroProse games, but I played the hell out of Civ III and Roller Coaster Tycoon.
oh .. and inventory management is actually easy .. in the right bottom corner select the portrait and you move stuff really fast. To them and from them .. I repeat .. JA2 style xD we so gonna love this game !!
I'm an old gamer that's been watching you for quite a while. Back in the day I decided I wanted to watch some videos on UA-cam about gaming. The first channel I came across was this one, and you were playing a game called Dead State. I loved watching your playthrough of it, and I played it a lot myself. I've tried to go back and play it but the combat is... awful. I've been looking for something similar and I was excited to see this game. I'm stoked you are taking a look at it as well! Best of luck to you sir!
@@dimaadamov8501 I agree, simple and staightforward is definitely a good thing. My issue with Dead State was just how SLOW it was. I think similar to the complaints Splatt had about this game.
look at the characters that Splat is playing. we have him cosplaying Shia Labeouf , Eminem is right beside him, followed by Sofie Turner and Lucy Li. if this team don't survive the zombie apocalypse I don't know who does.
I subscribed to this channel when you played Dead State, happy you finished it with the MC staying in the military, and sending the survivors away. Sad people died because of events.
Nice game mechanics. I hate that we had Jagged Alliance almost 30 years ago, and still havent improved all that much in isometric gaming. Look at 1st person gaming and compare it to 1995-ish. THATS the level of improvement I want.
I recommend looking up Kenshi. While the graphics are admittedly bad and it's janky af, I think it's taken all the inspirations you want in improving 3rd person group RPGs. Not iso, but otherwise right up that alley.
A few hours ago I watched Zemalf live streaming the game for about 4 hours. Yes it’s only just entering Early Access today in December 2024, but it’s looking great. I’m very hopeful that White Pond Games deliver a great game!
This actually reminds me a lot of Fallout 1 & 2. Even the graphics are fairly similar, even if the setting is post-zombie instead of post-nuclear apocalypse. This is especially true since the UI for the original Fallouts was also pretty cumbersome. I mean, it was amazing for the time but it is pretty dated now. I tried going back to play it and found it far less enjoyable now that I expect all those modern UI conveniences.
Its hard to think of Microprose as indi considering the heritage of fantastic games from that name. They gave us still the greatest grand prix management game GPM2...nothing has come close to this one.
Nice looking game, but I have too many like this I need to play first. I will still add to my list, cause I love getting alerts... makes me feel important. :D
The funny thing is, due to it's type of graphics and more locked camera, and other visualizations it actually feels more like JA2 than JA3 did. Of course it doesn't have the characters. But there are some references. ;)
SPLAT!!! You cant leave us with that ending! i want to know if the redhead party member is permadead or not! You did not mention how death and party recruiting works in the game.
MicroProse is back? Wow, that's a nostagia buzz... It's a shame they don't own the rights to Master of Orion anymore. The 2016 remake was still great, though, even though it wasn't their work.
Didn't Microprose create the original X-Com, if I remember correctly? When living in Maui, I surfed all day, and played X-Com all night. A broke teen with everything one every needed.
As a former Microprose employee (Alameda, CA studio), I am truly warmed to know that a developer in England (Correction: Australia), has somehow resurrected the Microprose label, and is carrying on in today's industry.

Thank you for your service
Some of my favorite games in the 90s were Microprose
I think you'll find they're in Australia now not the UK.

@@ARescueToaster First and foremost Jagged Alliance 2 for combat controls. And yes, Dead State when it comes to the zombie mechanics.
MicroProse, it's been a while since I've heard that name.
I was thinking the same thing.
Yeah. Not entirely indie, but whoa, nostalgia.
wow... microprose still around.
That's a name I haven't heard in a long time.
Gunship 2000 was the last MicroProse game I played
As a KS backer for Dead State, this seems right up my alley. Thanks for the coverage.
Even the Early Access Version and the previous Demos I played of Urban Strife felt more polished than Dead State a year after release though. I think you'll enjoy it. ^^
but did you know Honest Joe is actually alex jones 14:44
I been following this game. It's supposed to be a spiritual successor NOT to Dead State, but to Jagged Alliance 2. That's the main inspiration.
zombie so probably dead state
@@setsunakoikogeki182 I can see why you'd think that but the devs have said that their inspiration and systems are based on JA2.
Bbraiinss!

Yeah, this game is radiating lot of JA2 vibes, RPG system, weapon handling, combat mechanics, even visuals and UI are all pretty much a homage to it.
MicroProse has been dropping some good stuff lately. Good to see them back in the arena
absolutely love MicroProse. still play master of orion.
this channel is already a classic here in youtube
Original UFO style turn based combat, gonna check this out.
Looks like the old Jagged Alliance 2 - which is good.
Jagged Alliance Post Apo i'm waiting for for over 2y now... love this type of mechanics

Also starting out crouching around, definitely sounds like Steven Segal.
If there's a mod that replaces zombies with normal citizens living a happy life and you terrorize them, it's the perfect Steven Segal simulator
Is there a mode that replaces melee with BS overexaggerated karate?
Space Ice alt account?
can the character fight sitting on an office chair.....? they need to add that feature
My god, he's running!
bro Steven Segal cant crouch
As someone who think the original X-COM games are superior to the new ones, this seems like it could be right up my alley.
Ever played Phantom Doctrine? It's an Xcom-style game but set in the golden age of spying during the cold war, CIA, KGB, SMERSH, James Bond, some of the best fun I've had in an Xcom-a-like.
Huh. Never heard of this before. Thanks Splat!
Micro Prose... That's a deep cut. I know them from Mech Commander and Worms Armageddon
Kinda reminds me of Fallout Tactics a little bit. I really like this game visually. I'm going to try it out.
Yeah right? I thought the same thing with the visuals.
I've been following this for five years and nice to see not only it getting attention but that I can play it. Managed to try it way back when they had just a single gas station level to go through. Went at it three times until I managed to get everyone through.
If I remember Dead State? Dude, your playtrough is the reason why iam here😂
Like what, 15 years ago?😅
I'm glad you clarified that you're talking about the thirty year old Xcom, and not the "new one" that's only twelve years old.
I been waiting for this one. Microprose is killin it
uuuuuuuuUUUUUUhhhhHHHHHH!
-MicroProse
dude this remind me of an old game on armorgames, its called "The Last Stand - Deadzone" and ui is familiar with that one

I love The Last Stand: Aftermath
doesn't have much to do with this genre but it's very well made, it's a roguelike
Lmao my first thought too. It was a banger back then.
This brought back some great memories.

@@jefferydraper4019 Maybe both - spared no finger-licking?
I am a simple man, Splat says "Dead State" and I say "how much?"
I really enjoyed that game but I don't think I've heard anyone even mention it before. Hearing it instantly piqued my interest.
@@Rymdpandan FR. That game was something special. This looks great, like Dead State + Jagged Alliance 3.
Man, I wish we will be able to play Dead State 2 one day.
All nine inches.
Just from visual style feels like a Jagged Alliance type game. I love it.
Yes! Looking forward to this.
Come on Microprose, papa needs an Xcom: Apocalypse remake like yesterday
My first PC game ever was made by MicroProse (F-117A Nighthawk Stealth Fighter 2.0). Love that they're back in some way!

dead state actually pretty good got 20hrs on it

Just can't stop staring at Justin Timburla'buff down there... O_o

I was thinking Dead State on first sight too. This looks worth trying. Hopefully it ends up being decent.
It gives me a wasteland 2 vibe with its look
I miss dead state. It was such a good playthrough
25:00 All the guys Bubba intoduced you to walked like Max Martini, the actor.(Corporal Henderson in Saving Private Ryan, Dirt Diver in The Unit)😂😂😂😂
looks good to me
Sounds like "they fight" and "they rebuild" !
Woot! Kenshi leveling in a zombie game
Where is Beep 😂
this could be my last day alive and im going to live it!
*proceeds to walk like a crab*
Serious Jagged Alliance vibes
Nice looking game, but I have too many like this I need to play first. I will still add to my list, cause I love getting alerts... makes me feel important. :D
this is by all means .. Jagged Alliance 2 !! old school 1999 !! with ebtter graphic and all .. this should ahve been ja3 not that what got launched ..
This game reminds me of something if the original fallout had a baby with original xcom
It looks similar to Jagged alience 3!
The funny thing is, due to it's type of graphics and more locked camera, and other visualizations it actually feels more like JA2 than JA3 did. Of course it doesn't have the characters. But there are some references. ;)
Looks good!
Price is a tad steep for what's currently on offer £30 pounds but currently at £24 with 20% off
I didn't know MicroProse still published games. I'll probably have to check it out just for that.
Same as if 3DO came back.
SPLAT!!! You cant leave us with that ending! i want to know if the redhead party member is permadead or not! You did not mention how death and party recruiting works in the game.
Its like jagged alliance 3, with zombies.sign me up.😊
this feels more Jagged Alliance than Jagged Alliance 3 was.
MicroProse is back? Wow, that's a nostagia buzz... It's a shame they don't own the rights to Master of Orion anymore. The 2016 remake was still great, though, even though it wasn't their work.
Your save name is fart XD?? Splatty, never change.
Dead State but better graphics!!!! MUST PRESS THAT LIKE BUTTON!!!!
Somehow it reminds me of The Last Stand : Dead Zone. I really missed that game
This looks great! Is it out now I’ll have to pick it up
Your character looks like Shia Labeouf 😂
Didn't Microprose create the original X-Com, if I remember correctly? When living in Maui, I surfed all day, and played X-Com all night. A broke teen with everything one every needed.
that clunkiness sounds like JA2 and game looks like JA2, count me in!
