Figured I should make one, now that pinned posts are a thing here:
Hey, I'm James! I cover games, mostly in the RPG sphere of influence. You've probably read some of my work at RPG Site, but I've also contributed to GamesRadar, UploadVR and more in the past. I've covered events like E3, TGS + more!

Shot's not even in the trailer. Every cockpit shot @jaskel.side6.space and I can find looks nothing like that and the trailer is FULL of high-detail control panels and background textures.

Look all jokes aside I think a game that retailed for $50 and had a reasonable, sustainable budget sweeping the awards is probably a good message to send to the industry, if it's even capable of listening.
