Supreme Commander / Total Annihilation

[Abaddon]

Iron Plauge?

I've been playing the beta for a while now. The game is pretty amazing... it's coming out this month too

Iron Plauge?

It was the last update for TA. It is called TA Kingdoms Iron Plauge. I only played part fo it.

There was also TA Core Contingency, which I played very little of.

There was also TA Core Contingency, which I played very little of.

There was also Battle Tactics

I really can't wait for Supreme Commander. Been waiting for it since I saw the first preview in PC Gamer. I loved TA, and Supreme Commander looks like it will be my fave RTS for a while.

 

[vmxa]

Oops, it was Tactics, I did not play much of, I did finish Core. Been so long I got them confused.

 

[Chaos_BF1942]

There is a demo coming out tomorrow. It said it will be able to download at 9:30 am PST; so I'll be downloading it 12:30 pm EST. Can't wait ^_^

OMG! Time to have my computer exploded by a demo.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Things blowing up! Lasers! I have no idea what I'm doing, but I do know that I just bombed the hell out of the enemy base with little resistance, and they're sending a small attack wave to me. To battle!

 

[Kozmos]

Mrrhrhm it is like......liquid sex.

 

[Thunderfall]

Playing the demo? How's the performance?

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

So far it's fine, though I haven't had much of a chance to tinker with the settings. I haven't seen a massive battle yet, which some reviews I've read really say is the killer for performance.

 

[Chaos_BF1942]

The demo is running alright for me, there is afew jumps; but for the most part it is running good.

I really love zooming all the way out.

 

[Kozmos]

Pardon the leet speak, but you simply must ZOMG at the Scathis Experimental unit. It is teh king!

 

[BasketCase]

It's official--I hate my life.

I can't get the demo to run. It just says "Please verify system meets minimum requirements" with no explanation of which requirement is not being met. It's either the graphics card or the lack of Vista, but I find it hard to believe everybody else in this thread got Vista THAT fast.

(but then, this game alone makes great incentive to do so........)

 

[Kozmos]

No you dont need Vista. What's your g-card?

 

[BasketCase]

That was it. Had an NVidia 5200-series card in that machine. Switched in a 6800 GT, and......

Wow.

The game is very Total Annihilation in a whole lot of ways. And, in fact, there are some things Total Annihilation had that Supreme Commander is missing--in the demo, anyway. But the face-lift in itself--along with, very simply, the ability to freely pan your view around--is a huge change for the awesomer.

Pray that you don't bump into me in a game........

 

[Kozmos]

Pfft. My Scathis will own your measly base defenses.

Bought it last Friday and started playing it properly. A very fun game, I do enjoy sending dozens of tanks into battle. No giant death robots have been built yet, or nukes. But I am looking forward to it.

I got it when it came out, also with a Wii (got lucky and afew Wiis was in the shipment SupCom was in).


Afew of the giant death robots are good, but I like the UEF "Fatboy", because it can make T1-2 units and T3 Engineers. It also has great range.

I do love how you can zoom out, and it now feels weird not being able to do that in other RTS.

If any TA-fans aren't able to play Supreme Commander on her/his computer, you can try this for consolation, TA Spring: http://spring.clan-sy.com/
It's a great 3D improvment of the original game. Enjoy!
