It's been a while since we've had a proper Enemy Starfighter video and the latest trailer doesn't disappoint. The new footage puts you behind the stick of the game's interceptor starship for a series of hostile encounters in deep space.
Of course, Enemy Starfighter isn't the only space combat sim in development at the moment, as cockpit-based shooters are actually enjoying something of a development renaissance lately. But what the trailer above hints at, and what I hope to see when the game releases, is a hyper-focus on the combat encounter itself. That moment—when a target is just out of range and strategies run though my head—is for me the core experience of a space combat sim. As the enemies come into view I get to ask myself, "What are my chances?" and then try and carry out the mission as I imagine it. And from the looks of it at least, Enemy Starfighter is charting a similar course.
