Greetings!

any informations?

Unless Milo, Damo or someone from Matrix says otherwise, no.

It's so a damn inactivity here. Even the last patch is over a year old...

I'd guess it will be released as Starshatter 2 rather than as an expansion pack. If you check the EB website its listed for a September release with Tri-Synergy as the publisher. Milo may be going upbudget with Gathering Storm.

OK, so I got to buy SS 2 ... I hope it has a better multiplayer netcode like this one. - Even with a 100Mbit host you get strange results.
I even did not get my SS tanga...   [;)]

Since Starshatter's current number is 4.5, it would be closer to 5.0. Starhsatter 2.0 is already old thing.

I second this. I just looked at EB's site and I don't see anything about SS. I tried searching for SS in several varients, but no hits. Where did you see this bit of info.

Also, it might be called "Starshatter 2" because it's a totally new game this time. SS 2.0 is and a sequal are not one-in-the-same, IMO.

this is the only link I could find. It list the game as a puzzle http://www.ebgames.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=646667

And it's named Star Shatterer II. Don't sound right.

Ah that's why I did not find it.
If there were any news about it. the devs should inform their potential buyers a bit better...

Here's two links;

and

I couldn't find any information about EB games releasing it. So I think it's just confused with a game with similar kind of name.

Sorry, typo there. I was refering to the previous post that SS2 had already been released (SS2.0). I was trying to say that SS2 and SS2.0 are not the same thing to me. SS2.0 is just a rework of 1.x, while SS2 is so far above what SS was originally that it warrents being called a sequel. Anyhow, this is a bit off topic, sorry.

Maybe we should call it Starshatter II to avoid confusion with Starshatter version 2.x [:)]

the main screen identified it as Starshatter 5.0

Until mentioned otherwise by John DiCamillo or Matrix Games, that shall be official title for game, at least for now. I would also like to point out that a long time ago Microsoft Flight Simulator used same numbering system along with Word and Excel.

I noticed today that Panzer Command: Operation Winter Storm is listed at EBGames with Tri Synergy as publisher/developer. Given that I'd assume the Star Shatter II listing is probably genuine.
