The Sins of our Forefathers have Returned! - Sins of a Solar Empire 2 (Early Preview) 

I been waiting 15 years for this, and it's better than I expected

Hell yeah. I used to play Sins of a Solar Empire all the time. Super excited to see what the second game has going for it.

The planet orbit thing is very cool. Lots of strategic options and surprises with that mechanic alone

Seems like the heart of Sins is still there. More Updated UI is the most important thing for me. The moving systems are interesting, but don´t know if I like it yet. But all in all, I do like what I see here, a little bit streamlined it seems, but in the case of Sins that´s a good thing^^ My only hope is that non capital ships are a bit cheaper. It often felt like a waste of money to buy non capital ships (except colony ships) as long as you can build more capitals

It was my first 4x strategy game

13:20 Glorious Cwombat!

Prav did not explain an amazing ability this game has: When you select a control group (fleet), there is a ship construction tab at the bottom. You can order ships to be constructed from there, and then, they will automatically fly to that group AND automatically add themselves to that group. This gets rid of 80% of the roping and selecting usual in RTS games.

Glad to see Sins on the channel, and the wonderful progress towards the games release. I can hardly wait til then.

I hope to see a Sins of the Prophets remake for this

God, hearing the Sins theme sends me back.

Can't wait to get my hands on the Advent, huge favourite :D

They are bringing the Loyal-Rebel thing back too? I can't wait for this, also can't wait to see Advent in all it's glory, I liked the Vasari rework a lot. Also I noticed the supplies-upkeep is gone, and the pirate raids as well, or at least not implemented yet. I wonder if they plan to bring them back in some form, pirates especially.

I feel like the people that show up to comment are the folks that are not true fans. Rebellion has a 93-94% rating in its current state and while ridiculous, they’re asking for $40. The game is already excellent whether you like it or not. The only major things lacking were 64 bit support due to the engine, which severely cripples long term play even with modern processors. And a graphics overhaul. The devs have supported rebellion over its entire lifespan which almost no one does for non live service games. We’re talking over 10 years. To even just remaster it in a new engine is worth paying to further support them. So while those that maybe didn’t quite understand the original or were not particularly good at it, as the mechanics of the game do make it harder than something like a Red Alert RTS, I understand if you’re hoping for a new game. But I’d be willing to bet, most people that play this game are RTS fans or space fans that still play Rebellion. And one would hope that’s who this game is being catered to, which seeing the old solid foundation with some new changes that keep most of the original game intact, is what we love to see. My most honest opinion of those that are complaining it’s not a new game and negatively inferring its sins 1.5 (not saying that’s a bad thing to others) are the people we can thank for games like Battlefield 2, 3, 4 being excellent only to turn into Battlefield 2042, a piece of hot garbage that needs to sell for under $10 to get anyone to keep playing it, and the game is now a fast paced COD alternative. Far far far from its original idea and design and is literally the worst rated battlefield. But the same folks got the new stuff, new gameplay, new graphics, and a trash game. No thanks.

I played the original Sins and its expansion, and it did not have the feature of the system changing in real time. This new entry will definitely be added to my wishlist.

For some reason, even though I love playing Stellaris, this game never really clicked with me. I distinctly remember fighting the Advent and losing every time despite having a bigger fleet. For some reason, their capital ships were healing faster than I could damage them.

This is the game I'm most excited for this year.

OG sins had the star trek armada 3 mod and that is the only mode Ive ever played lol

I bought the original 4 times. Once on CD, once from the stardock store, once from stream, and once again the CD because I lost the first time

Pravus, could you do a test match on a custom map with something like 200 planets in it? My friends and I used to play Sins Rebellion on maps of that scale as it was much more fun and tactical. The problem always became lag, where 1 second in game was around 30 seconds of real time. It was still enjoyable to do, just took a long time. I would really like to hear if the engine has been improved enough in multithreading to better handle massive maps like that, or if we have actually had a regression and can no longer even generate maps so large :( While we do have better use of more cores, we also have a lot more simulations going on now with individual missiles being tracked and simulated, so the load is far higher than before.

This feels like Supreme Commander 2. The first one was fucking fantastic, the second one was like some half done reboot. Should've just added good dlc to the first one

Can't wait for this one to come out on Steam. Is August confirmed? Going by your desc.

Wait this is different than what's public available in Epic store. this is the actual early preview with Advent race available!

a sequel done right! I`m looking at YOU Homeworld 3 -_-"

A glorious surprise

More rts game, the era if rts game rising

I loved Sins of Solar Empire! Very much hyped for the sequel, hopefully it will not just be a clone with a bolt on functionality though. Was kind of let down by Homeworld 3 to be honest.

For the most part, this feels like Sins 1 but with better graphics. The orbiting is certainly new. Does the research in Sins 2 doesn't take any logistic slot unlike the first game?

Needs more advent space angels tbh.

In first Sins i found out if I build my second capital ship fast, the enemy won't stand a chance

Guess its ti,e to bingew SoaSE until 2 comes out on Steam

after a series of bad strategy games of older games series i hope to god this is good.

will there be multiple star systems

May they add a campaign mode.

Praise Pravus!

Sins 1 was great and it had a long run, but it was killed by Stellaris. Can it really compete? To be fair i think it was on the decline before Stellaris. I wasnt really interested in Sins 2 but this is surprisingly innovated. They spent their money wisely sponsoring you.

Will they have a campaign this time?

Love some good SoSE!

I waiting the Campaign..

This does feel more like a "Sins 1.5", with the only thing that's new is the "orbiting stuff". Don't get me wrong, thatisn't necessarily a bad thing, Sins is great and all. But i wish they would've added more new features. More in-depth building and ressource system, true 3D-Battles...

is it made with unreal engine? if so i can play it in vr!!

Is... is this just an HD remake of SINS? It doesn't really look noticeably different.

Stellaris looks way more deep no?

Wait, isnt there already a Sins of The Solar Empire 2?

FYI: Game has been on Epic for ages, so the beginning comment was a tad disingenious.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

day 1 of asking pravus to play rimworld

Day:39 of asking pravus to play equestria at war hoi4 mod again.❤

Day 41 asking Pravus to play the Eu4 fantasy mod Anbennar 🎉

🗿

Yeah, that looks pretty much the same as sins 1. Reminds me of the Cossacks Series where Game 1-3 are literally the exact same game with no changes at all.

Was really hoping they would redesign their hyperlanes. It doesn't make sense that you are in a solar system with 40 planets lol. They should have changed it so each location is its own system with planets and asteroids. Also the orbits are dumb as hell for a strategy game.

This game has been on Epic since October 2022. Stardock was greedy, took the Epic money and made it exclusive for two yeas there.

Sins 1 wrapped up to look pretty....It's the same game.

They had to go and kill the game for me. Changing planets WTF now the massive forts are useless and better off just making massive fleets. I really hope there is an option to disable planetary drift

Disappointing. Same game, just cuter graphics.

its not looking that good to be honest they have a lot of catching up to do to other established titels

Nice, Cool to see the next one coming

sigh, this dont seems worse than stellaris??? whats everyhone opinions?
