New Supreme Commander Screenshots! (I think so, anyway.)

I saw this on the Relic forums and figured there were plenty of TA fans here who would like these. The ones toward the bottom I've seen before but the ones toward the top are pretty sweet and new.

Screenshots @ Gamestar.de (http://www.gamestar.de/aktuell/screenshots/PlayerPicList.jsp?galleryId=1211)

Apparently these might be related to some "recent interviews" which I know nothing of.

So it's not limited to the isometric perspective then. But they don't look as though they fit, somehow. They seem to be more like screenshots from Earth 2160. Has it been confirmed elsewhere that it's possible to change the camera angle?

I'm pretty sure they're SupCom screenshots. The second new one (the one where the blue plane is approaching the ship) has the Cybran symbol on it.

Furthermore...http://pc.ign.com/articles/652/652972p1.html

Same screenies there.

Of course its possible to change the camera, why wouldn't it be?

Most of the screenshots I saw before these new ones had the isometric perspective and if I remember correctly, I heard somewhere that the game would have a fixed perspective. So I was mistaken.

The more I learn about this game the more I want it. Why do I have to wait a year of the gaming goodness of nukes and flying aircraft carriers?

Hell, I was never a TA fan but this looks fucking incredible. I can't wait for it. We've been too long with too few good RTS games and I like the way this sounds.

And despite what the rest of you think, I like hte urgency thing. :p

I don't know about you guys, but the water effects had me pretty damn happy, especially with the sub and the tanks crossing the river.

Also, do I see power-armored infantry (or dare I say, K-bots?) on a beach in one of those pics? :)

Those look like the square-shaped armored suits that the original set of shots included concept art for.

I don't like the blue photon torpedo looking weapons.

Everything else is great.

Greatest. Game. Ever!

OK! I WANT THAT GAME! :eek:

*Looks at computer*

I don't even want to know what the requirements are going to be. I want that game so much now.

Some of the screenies are ambiguous, such as those really good-looking shots like that submarine one versus the perspective view of those two tank armies clashing against each other (if you have seen it).

But given that we have a year and two months to go (Taylor said Christmas 2006 is the likely date), we will definetly see many improvements.



But yeah, a whole year. :(

NOOOOOOOOOO!

For some reason I was operating under the assumption it'd be released in Spring 2k6. Arrrgh. Oh well, there's too many games coming out I need to buy anyway... Quake 4, FEAR...

Those look basically the same as the rendered shots from TA.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: TA Spring (http://taspring.clan-sy.com/) is well worth playing while waiting for SupCom. It's an open-source Total Annihilation-inspired RTS (not just a remake, it aims to be more than that). It has full 3D, realtime shadows (http://taspring.clan-sy.com/screenshots/screen83.jpg) and reflections (http://taspring.clan-sy.com/screenshots/screen82.jpg) (but you can turn them off and reduce graphic detail so it's even playable on my Geforce 4MX), individual control of units in first-person mode, dynamic terrain, realistic physics (http://taspring.clan-sy.com/screenshots/screen84.jpg). New units, maps and mods are constantly being developed.

I don't know why but I wasn't expecting much from it, but...

Wow, just wow. :eek:

I know. Spring's pretty sweet, but I still want the real thing. :p

The water effects look damn sweet.

The units are pretty flat, it seems, though. But then again, you *ARE* rendering about a few billion of them... :p

I personally don't mind it coming out Christmas next year. In fact, I PREFER it that way, the main reason is I have my HSCs next year and I wouldn't be able to play it much anyway, so if it were released May or something I'd be WAY behind on skill.

This is so getting preordered. :eek:

And this is why Supreme Commander will dethrone Starcraft. Forget all the interesting concepts, forget the strategy, forget the unique units. When SupCom's nuke is that much better than SC's nuke, the Crafters just can't compete.

I'm pretty sure they're AI drones, like all 'soldiers' besides the SupCom, IIRC.

I wonder what the Cybran Supcom looks like... it better be fucking sweet.

Its not that its just prettier it is also much much much biger. Each of those ships are a kilometer long or more. Its nuke would be measured not is screen but in maps for craft games.

There was somthing that looked like a cybran supcom concept art, all spikey and jagged...

This game looks awesome, graphicwise it doesnt look like much but the way the gameplay looks in those screenshots can equate to massive fun.

From reading the fluff of the Supreme Commanders on gamespy, all i can say is that those dudes are seriously over powered. One supreme commander makes planetfall, and can field an entire army from the materials of the planet. Now THAT is hellish fluff.

Thats the way it was in TA...

Ta Mrk2.
I hope they have optional formations.
