Supreme Commander and RTS (1 Viewer)

For people who don't know what this game is, its an RealTimeStrategy.

Touted as the spiritual heir to Total Annihilation, I was wondering, how interested are people in this game. I personally can't wait for it...

Also, what did people think of Total Annihilation?

Brilliant, a very underrated RTS. Probably my third favourite behind Starcraft and Seven Kingdoms.

Though I don't care too much for RTS's nowadays, so I'm not too interested in this new game you speak of.

i loved the original TA from what i played of it however after purchasing TA:Kingdoms i was kind of let down.

Sup Comm has alot of hype with everyone comparing it to SC and im guessing upon release it should have a fairly strong online community (unlike CoH, though a great game it is, has an apparently limited collection of players online) so i guess i might buy it. I tried getting my hands on an open beta cd key but without too much luck though, and you cant really get the feel for a good game by just watching the trailers or even gameplay vids.

I pretty much like all games. I mean, look at my list of favourites. I'd have to include
Final Fantasy Series (RPG)
Psychonauts (Platformer)
Monkey Island Series (Adventure)
NCAA College Hoops 2k7 (Sports)
Silent Hill 4 (Horror)
Splinter Cell (Action)
Gears of War (3rd person Shooter)
CoD2 (FPS)

However, I can't include a single RTS game. Strategy games just don't click with me for some reason, despite my uniquely diverse taste in gaymes.

looks awesome, but for me, nothing will ever beat starcraft. If they make a starcraft 2..i hope they concentrate on gameplay rather than major graphics which just usually ruins it.

Starcraft was a great game, so good that blizzard (the producers) had to redesign the net play side of things as there were too many people playing it! All things aside, I think that SC is more tactics-which unit beats what...and this resulted in the feeling that if you lost an army of units, you lost the game (a lowish unit cap and limited resources meant that it was really hard to regain control)

TA was different..you had a slightly higher unit cap (bigger mechs still acounted for 1 unit unlike an ultralisk which accounted for 8 units)

Strategy was more important in TA as individual armies could be lost as long as the war was won.

They are both great games, but different still, and SupCom will do heaps to help the 'real' strategy games get their act together in a sea of stupid American-wins-all games
