Texas based Escape Hatch Entertainment have announced a new PS Vita game, Starlight: Inception.
The game focuses on Starlight from My Little Pony as he invades your dreams, delving further in to the subconsciousness of the player. Dream upon dream upon dream, Starlight soon discovers that the plot isn’t all the clever, in fact it’s quite easy to follow and the whole film is little more than an over-hyped B-movie.
No… wait, that’s something else.
Starlight: Inception is a space combat experience with strategic elements. You assume the role of a young space fighter pilot assigned to the star carrier USF Independence, deploying to hot spots throughout the Solar System during World War IV.
The game is described as a ‘1st person / 3rd person free-roaming space shooter’ with ‘ship based combat both in space and on planets and moons, interplanetary exploration, and multi player dogfighting.’
A teaser trailer for the game has been released but I’m not quite sure if the dodgy 1980’s style special effects are on purpose or not. The game also has its own Kickstarter page.

you know what? Free-roaming space combat and an obvious love for Wing Commander’s heyday sounds like it’s right up my street.
Plenty of time to push development and hopefully secure decent funding too. Everyone that moans about “just another FPS” coming out on your consoles should be raring to go at something that’s looking at a kind of mini revival of a genre which hasn’t had nearly enough love of late. Vita seems like a perfect place for space combat too, with its tilt and touch (and two sticks!). I’m definitely intrigued to see more.
Although, Tuffcub’s fever dream about My Little Pony sounds ace too… he should pitch that to Sony :)

This sounds pretty good. Maybe we can get the first option as DLC and can take MLP in space lol
