Ashes of the singularity

Liking this a lot bought as I was looking for a good new rts and not disappointed great gfx and very much like sup com which is a great thing.

Played under 2 hours in case I wanted a refund but i really don't think I'll need one.
 
Very interested in this.

I backed Planetary Annihilation but didn't even bother with the launch product, a few hours on record only during the early phases. Not sure why, but the end result (the game) just didn't feel compelling or at least nowhere near the hype.

I'm hoping Stardock do a better job than Uber.
 
The 6 player map with the choke in the middle is quite fun, reminds of Sup Com!

Performance is... as expected.

I like the 'Z' style capture areas, hold and advance.

I can see promise but at this stage it doesn't feel like it's reinventing the wheel, more retrofitting to a new vehicle.
 
Gah, defences seem woefully inadequate. Just got battered.....on easy.....:p

and now I have circles round everything and cant turn it off.....
 
I can't really answer the i5 question apart from I don't think it will run bad at all, but I've not owned an i5 for a long time. Ai does seem rather OP
 
Had a few "driver stopped working" errors when launching in DX12 mode. Latest nvidia drivers.

Guess its a beta/early access. :)

Anyone know when the single player campaign will be released?
