You do have to remeber command strings (but in the demo that was only a few simple commands) but it felt like you were really hacking, since you had to do almost everything with these commands that you had. However I have played the pre-alpha demo on IndieDB and this game feels more like a realistic hacking simulator.
I have tried Uplink for a little bit (got an old copy from a friend a while ago) and it was awesome. Is this game the successor to Uplink a lot of us want? Does this game have that balance of 'fun' and visual style/flair, while maintaining a faux sense of 'realism' vs suspension of disbelief?ĭoes it make you feel like a badass hacker? You had freedom to connect around and 'play' like a real hacker would. You weren't sitting going 'What do I do now? TUTORIAL MOMMY HALP!' You knew what tools you had, they made sense, and you started to imagine ♥♥♥♥ like hacking banks for money. within minutes of the opening tutorial, you felt like a COMPETANT, badass hacker. Its 'too much effort' and can detract from a game's pace.
It is the one thing which, while being true to life, people generally shy away from and lets face it, nobody wants to HAVE to remember command strings. Where other hacker sims have failed up until now is the usage of commandline. It explained away a lot of 'real' hacking tropes such as over-reliance on commandline by its futuristic setting, and was easy enough to pick up, and easy enough to understand without having to sit and memorize pages of commands. Its 'platform' created a viable suspension of disbelief (that you were remoted to a terminal and working from there). Uplink was fun and engaging because it had the perfect 'balance'. So far to date there has been no 'hacker sim' (I use the word 'sim' very loosely) that has surpassed Uplink.
