We really appreciate this review of the update, we're glad you seem to be enjoying what we've put out so far, with many more great content updates on the horizon
that's on purpose rn we get dozens of people either in the comments of the one active sins2 youtuber or on the discord asking why the game looks unfinished/why so much is missing they'll market it properly closer to full release
I'd love to see a way to introduce ground invasions as a mechanic as long as: 1. It adds strategic depth to the game and; 2. It doesn't become a tedious chore and slow down the game unnecessarily
I know Sins 2 existed, but I wasn't sure if this was a full release or update. Upon checking google, I thought it was released, but it seems like it was an update to early access or something. EGS really makes you unaware.
So far so good, that's nice to know. Still waiting for the full official release so to try it out, however, as per the usual. How'd you lose an entire kriffing planet to a simple raid though?
to be fair whit the sims thing whit the Pet DLC. the problem for me is not the fact that there been a pet DLC sins the sims 1 in each sims game. the problem is when a DLC that existed in the previus game is smaller then the previus one. example sims 1 pet DLC was 1 shop, dog and cat (they was exactly the same gameplay wise). Sims 2 pet DLC a few more stuff was added, we now also have wolfs and a few other stuff. sims 3 pet dlc, we got hamsters, dog, cats, horses, wolfs and, the whole stable thing and pet training and all that. sims 4 pet dlc, dog and cats, we need another 3 DLC to be close to what we was in the sims 3 whit just the pet DLC. because im going to say this I do not expect and I will straight up say this I dont expect or request that when the sims 5 comes out that it have all the DLC and gameplay mecanics of the sims 4 and and all its DLC (especually when its as big as it is). now something Like dawn of war that was game 4 faction. then 3 DLC each adding 1 to 2 faction per dlc total 10-14 factions. Im completly fine if Dawn of war X would just relese whit 3-6 factions whit the othre factions relsed at 1-2 faction per DLC/expansions.
Turrets do not make a game look better. It can, but this is just like Homeworld 2 in that it just looks crappy. Those Turrets are too big for the Kol. Scale them down and scale up the base of the turret.
Are they adding anything new to this game besides better graphics from the prior game with all its DLC? I really liked playing Sins of a Solar empire but did get dated and the desyncs were really annoying playing with friends. Which I am hoping will no longer be an issue with this version.
I dont know what they are planning to do but there already some changes like moving planets.However they said they don’t want to change too much and I think that’s good
Each faction now has a major empire wide mechanic for them; for example the Traders are now the only factions that can trade for credits, metal and crystal while the Vasari have phase resonance with three different buffs for their ships after they enter a gravity well. The Vasari also don't use credits to buy things, instead using them only to trade. Finally there are cap ship and titan components and planetary buildings.
Don't forget that the major difference is the engine. The old engine couldn't take advantage of quadqores. (or more) This means the huge maps should become alot more playable especially in the late game.
I would be pleased with this if the only change from version 1 was that you could stop losing access to an entire fleet for an extended period of time because your fleet automatically chased an AI scout ship into oblivion because none of your fleet can catch up, and there's no limit to how far off the map your fleet can go...
The biggest mistake they didn't avoid is Epic Games Store exclusivity. As much as I loved the first game, the fact that they did this makes me want to boycott.
Epic is really good to companies and is a great publisher to work with. They take a much smaller cut than Steam and are easy to work with. If only they would just work on their stupid launcher I wouldn't be so off them also
Sins 2 looks so bad in almost every way.The U.I is horrible, and the battles super boring and no interesting.I cant believe how bad is the audio of this game.I was hoping that Sins 2 will be mixed with Hommeworld games battles , and Sins 1 economy.I was so wrong.
They're actually making a huge mistake. You need to hold features back as DLC to keep development costs down and profits up. This game is going to burn itself out fast.

Will you finally tell us WHAT IS CHASING THE VASARI!!!
If you plan to add the race chasing the vasari, please please please don't balance it. Make it OP, like a borg level threat!!!!!
@@badape9227 clearly tyrannids
You guys made a great game. You should be proud of your work 😊
when Steam release?
Damn, EGS is really terrible for visibility. I had no idea SoaSE 2 was a thing.
SAME!
that's on purpose
rn we get dozens of people either in the comments of the one active sins2 youtuber or on the discord asking why the game looks unfinished/why so much is missing
they'll market it properly closer to full release
It's still in Beta, it comes out December this year or something
I'd love to see a way to introduce ground invasions as a mechanic as long as:
1. It adds strategic depth to the game and;
2. It doesn't become a tedious chore and slow down the game unnecessarily
Distant Worlds 2 found that balance imo
Just so long as it doesn't get the unfortunate stellaris treatment🤢🤢
Great pun and even better video showcasing all the new stuff for Sins 2. Thank you.
Thanks for the updates & alliteration.
i had no idea Sins of a Solar Empire 2 was a thing or in development. damin Epic.
seriously, wtf? me too! sins was one of my favorite strategy games, idk how 2 came along without me hearing about it. weird.
@@alphawolfgang173 its in development now
Happy to see that Sins 2 is continuing the tradition of becoming "pirate survival simulator"
I know Sins 2 existed, but I wasn't sure if this was a full release or update. Upon checking google, I thought it was released, but it seems like it was an update to early access or something. EGS really makes you unaware.
A fellow TEC Rebels enjoyer. Based.
I hope they take their time to make it awesome, some graphical elements (like weapon effects) might need a bit more work though.
The research tree in Sins 1 was good. Honestly the entire UI was good in Sins 1. Just copy that.
So, watching the pretty ships and just realized.
There must be a The Expanse mod for the game 😱
oof those computer generated portrait are terrible i hope it's just temporary and they'll replace with actual art in the full release
So far so good, that's nice to know. Still waiting for the full official release so to try it out, however, as per the usual.
How'd you lose an entire kriffing planet to a simple raid though?
he was testing that out to see what it was like to get owned by a raiding party plain and simple curiosity nothing more.🤣🤣🤣
I like the new shield graphics.
Will see you on steam once you are there.
Had not a clue that sins 2 was a thing not until it was released on steam.
hmm, looks promising! :)
to be fair whit the sims thing whit the Pet DLC.
the problem for me is not the fact that there been a pet DLC sins the sims 1 in each sims game.
the problem is when a DLC that existed in the previus game is smaller then the previus one.
example sims 1 pet DLC was 1 shop, dog and cat (they was exactly the same gameplay wise).
Sims 2 pet DLC a few more stuff was added, we now also have wolfs and a few other stuff.
sims 3 pet dlc, we got hamsters, dog, cats, horses, wolfs and, the whole stable thing and pet training and all that.
sims 4 pet dlc, dog and cats, we need another 3 DLC to be close to what we was in the sims 3 whit just the pet DLC.
because im going to say this I do not expect and I will straight up say this I dont expect or request that when the sims 5 comes out that it have all the DLC and gameplay mecanics of the sims 4 and and all its DLC (especually when its as big as it is).
now something Like dawn of war that was game 4 faction. then 3 DLC each adding 1 to 2 faction per dlc total 10-14 factions.
Im completly fine if Dawn of war X would just relese whit 3-6 factions whit the othre factions relsed at 1-2 faction per DLC/expansions.
Seems like the same game but with a better UI.
Was just looking into this games progress this week. and its finally announced coming to steam, I hope its not going to be a double launcher.
Turrets do not make a game look better. It can, but this is just like Homeworld 2 in that it just looks crappy.
Those Turrets are too big for the Kol. Scale them down and scale up the base of the turret.
Just bought sins 1 and just now am finding out there is a 2? 😅 looks like i have to buy another game.
It’s still in beta
Yeah I am waiting till it comes to steam and is more finished
I recommend the star trek armada 3 mod.
Believe me sins 1 will be worth buying when sins 3 releases
Are they adding anything new to this game besides better graphics from the prior game with all its DLC? I really liked playing Sins of a Solar empire but did get dated and the desyncs were really annoying playing with friends. Which I am hoping will no longer be an issue with this version.

@@adams13245 Interesting. That is good that they are making the 3 civs more different and unique in gameplay and mechanics.

Good news, the game's finally out on Steam
nice review
Is it a closed alpha / beta or is it released in early access atm?
I'm waiting for the star trek mod.
please please tell me when this will be released!
Sins 2? its in beta on epic games store or wait till it releases on steam
@@nou8257 so next year on steam i guess.
@@helvis7336 or much later since Sins 2 could also still be in early access next year.
To be fair as Lore goes its pretty malleable.
Sins 2 looks so bad in almost every way.The U.I is horrible, and the battles super boring and no interesting.I cant believe how bad is the audio of this game.I was hoping that Sins 2 will be mixed with Hommeworld games battles , and Sins 1 economy.I was so wrong.
Bro its not even an alpha yet relax
@@typhon7899 We will see that.
@@marekkos3513 we will
Sadly an epic exclusive, not buying
Lol puns
Still sins of solar empire rebellion is better than sins 2

Good luck getting that past the internet. Look at how Paradox are treated for having the gall to release dlc they expect you to pay for.
@@adams13245Paradox makes lots and lots of money.
