Spacetime Studios has released the following teaser video for their Blackstar video as they demo their work to press and publishers at the GDC ‘08 Conference.

The space battles are reminiscent of a certain sci-fi spaceship game on the X-Box 360 with the same frantic action, and unique graphic style (just can’t remember the name, anyone?).

Game Features:

• Fly your spaceship to exotic locations, blasting through cunning enemies and dreadful space creatures.
• Leave your ship and take up the quest, exploring mysterious planets, derelict space stations, and force your way onto enemy ships.
• Live as one of four races, ranging from heroic humans and beautiful aliens to warrior robots and undead horrors in an epic science-fantasy universe where advanced technology clashes with ancient demonic power.
• A new breed of massively multiplayer game, Blackstar resurrects the dream of online space combat with real-time spaceflight featuring fast and nimble fighter-craft loaded with devastating sci-fi weapons.
• You aren’t limited to the canopy: get out of your ship and hit the deck for fast paced ground combat on the surface of alien worlds and aboard enemy ships.
• Combine spell-casting with real time shooting as you blast through enemies, collect loot, and gain levels in a variety of unique alien environments.
• Join up with your friends in maneuverable fleet formations to take on capital ships and enemy starbases in epic large scale battles.
• Play as a member of one of two galaxy-spanning factions: the hopeful and technologically advanced United Colonies or the dangerous, prophecy-guided Scorn Empire.
• Choose your role in the fight from a variety of powerful classes: From deadly Assassins operating behind the enemy lines, to powerful Crusaders who shrug off damage and unleash volleys of blistering fire, pick the role that matches your style of play.
• Participate in a rich story as the forces of futuristic technology and mind-twisting magic clash in a battle to decide the fate of the galaxy.
• Declare war against other players and destroy them in action packed player-vs-player combat that serves all levels of skill from the freshest cadet to the deadliest ace.
