Shattered Horizon getting a freebie map pack photo

It sounds like Futuremark Games Studio, the folks behind the newish zero gravity PC FPS Shattered Horizon, have plans to give back to all of the guys and gals who downloaded the game.

The first downloadable content for the multiplayer shoter, a collection of four maps nicknamed the "Moonrise Collection Pack," will in fact be free. Now while there's no confirmation about whether or not future DLC will be premium or otherwise, FGS sure is off to a good start.

"Moonrise" is going to those who pre-ordered Shattered Horizon this week for play-testing purposes, with the actual release date not yet finalized. As the developer says itself, "level design for zero gravity combat is a big challenge."

I believe it.

I'd totally get this game, but I doubt my laptop could run it.

Yeah, it needs good hardware. Still really on the fence. Heard the servers are full of bots because there aren't many players.

I just got it, and honestly, for $20, it's fantastic. They plan to keep a steady stream of content coming, and right now, it just feels awesome. The zero-g thing isn't really as much of a gimmick as I thought. In fact, it's turning into a really interesting take on space combat.

Why is there always the perception that PC DLC will cost money?

Valve is not a special case when nearly everyone else does it.

Be aware that this a DX10 only title, meaning you have to have a DX10 capable video card and Windows Vista or 7. So sorry XP'ers and console-pals, you're out of luck. The gameplay wouldn't really, really doesn't work with gamepads, even if they tried to port to XBLA.

I actually bought this on saturday and it's pretty cool. I think it'll be kind of an on again, off again type of game because you can't find the unique gameplay anywhere else. The new maps are a huge bonus, too.

You can in fact get "DirectX10" on Xp, but I put that in "" because it isn't really the proper DX10, just a modified DX9. Nonetheless, it would probably allow this game to run. Hell, it let me use Very High on Crysis back in ye olde XP days.

@Jon - Doubt it. Been chatting with some of the devs on the steam forum, and it's been developed entirely in vista with DX10. There's no chance of shoehorning it onto XP.

I gotta say, this looks sexy. I'm not sure my Lappy can run it though...
