So, the Iksar are a playable race?

I am very underwhelmed with the trailer.

With the small amount of gameplay shown in that vid, I'm almost inclined to think it's being made as a tablet game.  ???

Didn't look like much.

I'm not sure why, but I just can't get excited about this one. 

Maybe because I was never a MOO fanatic to begin with, maybe because this reboot/sequel looks & sounds very generic to me, maybe other things.  I dunno. 

Not that anything about the game actually looks or sounds bad per se, it's just that absolutely nothing about it stands out for me.  Anytime I see screenshots/video for the game, or read an article/preview about it, I simply feel an overwhelming sense of "meh".  Is it just me?

I agree with both of you. However, as MOO was the first game i got hooked on, it's going to be a day one purchase for me even if i despise the idea of starlanes in a 4x.

I can't help it....i am weak.

As others have said, from what I can tell the game doesn't have an original idea in it's body, and I can't see getting it when I already have Endless Space, GalCIv II/III, Distant Worlds, Horizon, Apollo 4X, etc. etc.  Not to mention MOO 1-3.

Plus both Stellaris and Endless Space II are on the way

I agree. MOO4 would be different enough if it wasn't using starlanes. Imho, the most promising one is Stellaris. Endless Space II will be gorgeous (visuals are probably going to be the best) and Polaris Sector looks interesting too.

Anyway, once i get it, i'll tell you what i think about it.

To be honest, I'm ambivalent about ES2 as well, if only because I found the first Endless Space somewhat lackluster.  Perhaps that was just because it was Amplitude's rookie effort, though (which, to be fair, wasn't bad for their first game).  I would genuinely like the sequel to surprise me (in a good way). 

Absolutely agreed on Stellaris and Polaris Sector, however.  The latter looks pretty good, and the former looks freakin' fantastic!

Sounds good, man.  I'll look forward to hearing your impressions.  O0

If they do anything novel or innovative here, I'll probably give it a try.  If the goal is just to make a dumbed-down 4x in an effort to appeal to a younger audience, I guess they can give it a try, but I'm not their target market.  As has been noted elsewhere in this thread, there are too many other good games that built on the original for me to spend lots of time chasing a reskinned version of the original.
