It doesn't seem to me that any of these guys have anything to do with the original title besides getting the license. Not that necessarily means anything bad for the game, of course.<p>Trivia: The original Descent was written in assembly language, probably one of the last major PC games not to be written in a high-level language.

That's about 10^16 meters ahead of 1995.
What's this? Capture the asteroids? Multiple playable ships? Corporation logos?<p>This is not Descent. Descent is a dark, gloomy space shooter, that makes you feel miserable, disoriented, lonely and afraid of the damn robots with their not so bad AI.<p>And then you invite friends to play cooperatively to make it a little less horrifying.<p>That is Descent.
Never played the game, never had the computing power as a kid.<p>Hmmm, I wonder what the completion rate for high cost games on Kickstarter is... (some googling later)... It's near 30% apparently...<p><a href="http://gamerant.com/kickstarter-video-game-failure-rate/" rel="nofollow">http://gamerant.com/kickstarter-video-game-failure-rate/</a><p>The staff seems to have a hearty pedigree, the goals seem attainable, there are some smart statements about limitations. They might just pull it off. Might. I wouldn't bet on it. Why? Just feeling grumpy.
Wow - blast from the past, I loved descent 1 and 2. I thought this was going to be a new / digital version of the board game descent though.<p>Don't know which I would be more excited about.
