No Friday-night plans? Wrong! You're staying inside this evening, and playing lots of A.R.C. Squadron.
Psyonix has come out with a "Super Pre-Alpha" version of the aforementioned flight combat game, and even in this early, simplified state, it's a total riot. Similarly, since it's being developed with the Unreal Development Kit, A.R.C. Squadron looks quite lovely; and it's only going to get better from here on out.
Since last night, when I first tried the game, Psyonix has already pushed out an update. Give it a download, and use 70.166.15.133 for the server IP. (No matchmaking is in place, yet.) Also, I recommend sticking with a gamepad, if you have one.
