Can't wait to see this in action. I'm excited for it because I was a fan of the original 3 games and had no idea another one was in the works. They were always a nice break from the traditional ground-based FPS games of the time, and it's still a rare breed today. I hope it does well so we continue to see more!
i played the original game as well, was one of my favorite games of the time. I have my doubts it has a place in todays landscape but i would love the chance to try it.
Descent was one of the games i grew up with(I think I still have my Creative demo disk with the shareware version and the S3 accellerated version somewhere) and I sincerely hope this game bring some of the old games mojo back
the first time I experienced motion sickness was with Descent, I want my kids to know that glory.

Descent... I was about 14... floating in mine shafts planning my next move, the atmosphere of the game would kick in.. and around a corner into a patrol of robots I would stumble! The gauntlets you had to face were really challenging, and you had to learn how to fly and use your weapons pretty quickly. I loved the layout of the maps, sometimes you would start flying through a chamber that opened directly above you, and after a while lose your bearings (well I would anyway :P) And what could be more satisfying than destroying the core, and making it out of the mine before it exploded... just that was a challenge in itself! Many fond memories, great original game, the new one can only be good
The 6 degrees of freedom back when I played the original just blew me away and I'm really happy the Descent into history was made to bring this title back to life.
Because it's Descent. I mean for me it's a childhood game reborn. I watched videos and was amazed how it reminded me of the originals. I don't back Kickstarters but I would have this for sure.
Growing up in the days of Doom, Tomb Raider and Ultima, Descent left a unique impression on me. While it wasn't my favorite game nor did I beat it, I felt as though it was an untapped genere with great team multiplayer potential. I don't think it grew that big in the multiplayer scene for it to happen, but who knows maybe in todays landscape it has a team multiplayer place.
But to answer the question at hand, I'm really curious about the new one, since it seems a lot faster then the original (which is one reason I don't think I gravitated towards it).
Wow, I remember how much I loved the original. Many people I know got motion sick from it, but I loved that thing...
I remember having to change the settings every time I got to sit down at the lan parties because I preferred keyboard to joystick and everyone had the joystick set up...
I remember the first time I finished the campaign...
Can't wait for this...
I have followed Descent and Eric Peterson's work for most of my life and though I was saddened when Eric Peterson left RSI, I was ecstatic to learn he was working on Descent:Underground!
I'm not even posting for the giveaway, I'm just posting because I didn't know this was a thing.
To hear a new Descent is just fantastic. It's one of the few PC games I got to play when I was younger and it taught me how to properly handle hand-eye coordination in a game. I spent more time flying around than killing. It's not the optimal game for it, but it just made me so happy to be flying through this dungeon like atmosphere trying not to get caught. It helped me to enjoy Wing Commander down the road when I got my own PC.
Hopefully whoever gets the giveaway appreciates it and builds their own memories.
I remember first playing decent back when circuit city was still around and internet really became mainstream and people were using dial up modems. For nostalgia reasons I would very much enjoy to play a current gen version.

Became a little nostalgic a while back and even re-arranged a track from the third game. Shows how much I miss the series.
