Impressive. Very impressive. And nowadays we can devote that kind of CGI quality to a game?
Just as a side note, I'd like to point out that the space battle scene in Eric Flint's "sequel" to David Drake's Ranks of Bronze
proves that Flint, too, was a Yamato or Starblazers fan. For those who haven't read the story, the relevant passage is:
Again, there was an exotic combination of old and new technology. The three great turrets of the ancient battleship swiveled, just as if it were still sailing
the Pacific. But the guidance mechanisms were state-of-the-art Doge technology. And the incredible laser beams which pulsed out of each turret's three
retrofitted barrels were something new to the galaxy.... Only a ship as enormous as the old Missouri could use these lasers. It took an immense hull
capacity to hold the magnetic fusion bottles.
