New supreme comander video

Radiation · 9 Aug 2006 at 12:24

Cool video, this is about the only game im actually looking forward to.

Awesome vid. I thought the screen shots looked good, but they were nothing on the vid.

I few things he mentioned:

- Dual Screen Support.
- Multiple types of nukes.
- Simulated timing/trajectory of missiles
- 8 player support
- Aiming for allowing up to 500 units per player.
- Base Commander: AI to manage your base.
- Ability to zoom out to see the whole map.
- One unit can fire nukes from a cannon!

I can't wait!

Not sure if I heard right but I think he said the AI will be simulated and not scripted best way I can explain it really. Meaning that you will never see the AI do anything the same twice and that there will always be some kind of small difference.

People have been bandying (sp?) the phrase, 'emergant behavior' around quite a lot. Should be very exciting, though I've no idea at all how the AI would actually function on skirmish maps and such. :rolleyes:

Nuke cannon thingy... (twitches quietly)

That reminds me anyone think nukes will effect air units? In most of RTS they dont seem to.

WHOAR! Does he mean Jan/Feb 2007? I think you'll need 2gb RAM to make the most of this.

Hmm... I doubt it because they'd be shooting themselves in the foot and TA ran fine with 4000 units with 512MB of RAM.

My money is on 1GB.

1280x1024 is hardly huge anymore, called it low since 1600x1200 and up is what I class as high now.

I wouldnt call it low resolution though. There's probably only about 10% of gamers can run any higher than that, due to most people having 17-19" monitors.

Woooo supreme commander

anyway, most 17'' TFTs work at around 12xx x 1xxx or so.

It seems that everything will be effected in a true manner in this game so I would've thought aircraft will be taken down by nukes.

That video had me drooling! :eek:

I just can't wait for the 3rd party unit scene to go into full swing, oh the memories!

FreeStream · 10 Aug 2006 at 18:13

Awsome!!!

Core 2 Duo with a His X1900XT-X clocked to the balls should give me enough for this, FS-X and Settlers 2.

Awsome time for gaming!

Alrik · 10 Aug 2006 at 19:53

By time its out there will be newer more powerful cards out and todays powerful cards will be half the price they are now. Even X1900Xt's are going for close to £200 atm.
