Opening Cinematic for Sword of the Stars II Hits Web

Apparently intergalactic warring alien species LOVE reverb.



Paradox Interactive has just released a trailer for the newest installment in their popular 4X space sim series, Sword of the Stars.  While the video may be just be a pretty-looking mesh of in-game footage and CGI, this opening cinematic for Sword of the Stars II: Lords of Winter does a darn good job of showing off the game's visuals and crazy ship design.  Diehard fans of the original would do well to keep an eye on the game as it approaches its winter (see what they did there?) release date.
