To owners of the original, this is the same game as Strike Vector, it's just repackaged for consoles. The maps, weapons, specials, ship customization, etc. are all the same, besides LMG being removed and vector painting highly simplified.

They gave it a clunky console interface and reduced loadout complexity by letting you only wield one weapon instead of two. They also made collisions in jet mode much more sympathetic. These changes are presumably to make the game easier to control on the console release but they lower the depth and skill ceiling. The interior view of the cockpit in first person mode was also removed for some reason. Besides balance tweaks, the additions are 64bit support, bots and ranked matchmaking.

Why are they selling it as a new game? It doesn't amount to anything more than a bad patch. Something they stopped releasing for the original less than a year after release. Considering this was packaged as a new release specifically to sell on consoles, the decision to relist it on Steam as a new game as opposed to an update was just a scummy cash grab.

They should have just released Strike Vector as freeware (or implement LAN sharing) after it was abandoned - so a long lasting community could be allowed to exist around the otherwise dead game - instead of trying to milk the corpse.
