With these types of games, the most important thing with a very large game over a long space of time is performance as anyone who has played Civ V will know. So of course the graphics are not going to blow you away, the sound could be improved a bit though, it goes a long way to making up for graphics like these.
@SuperThatGame Challenging... Yes. In fact, it has a pretty steep learning curve. Graphics? hmmm. not really "good." but, they are good enough for me, and I am used to playing games like Bad Company 2 and others with High quality graphics. Usable? yes. again, it takes a little time to get used to thinking in 3 dimensions of space if you aren't already.
This game is hella fun, worth every penny. Give the demo a shot!
@jacg324 Well I play homeworld and hw 2 a lot so 3 dimensional fighting is no problem. Unfortunately I screwed up the screen positioning whilst adjusting resolotion in the demo so I havent been able to play it. (even when I unistalled and reinstalled it)
@ProjectZeus Yes. Look up "Ringworld" by Larry Niven, it is a novel that that structure is based off of. from the distance you view it, it will look *incredibly* thin, compared to its size.
I've downloaded and played the demo for a while. Overall it looks like a pretty good game. I'm certainly going to be buying it. The scale of the games is fantastic and playing through the tutorial and a couple of small games is enough to give you a good understanding of the way it all works.
Now, a minor gripe. Ship customisation is a bit confusing. An update streamlining this would probably go a long way towards s hallowing out the learning curve. Perhaps something akin to Sword of the Stars?
Tried the demo a bit... not sure what it is, but it just didn't sell it for me. I think perhaps there's a bit too much going on for an RT4X. One minor thing that distracts is the ship customization- the part placement seems a bit too messy and out of place considering all the precision and detail of everything else. And it plays havoc with OCD (No! It's not on the right pixel! Must adjust more! Augh! Can't find balance!!! X.X). Makes me not want to make ships, unlike the MOO series.
I absolutely love large scaled RTS space games.Great work. My Fav Space RTS is Sins of a Solar Empire. This definitely has a much larger scale than SOASE, however one thing thats keeping me back is the lack of environment scenery (nebulea backgrounds like SOASE, right now its just black with white dots for stars), nice looking planet shaders with atmospheric effects and volumetric explosions. I realize none of this makes a game, however it does add the experience.
@MrAcenan The game really has an amazing sense of scale to it. But that it is all it really has going for it, the game to me seems more like a tech demo, a groundwork for future Space RTS's that may take advantage of Star Rulers technology.
@makka432 and rightfully so since at this point i feel stuck with a game thats almost great, almost fun, has no interaction (dailog) except for an occasional one line sentence thats more of a phrase . i think it would server them right to be ripped off. this is a polished beta with not much of what they promised would be in it oh wait it almost has that too......
@GWGEddie yes it is really that bad and to improve it? lmao how about putting in at least what was promised from the start . i want my money back and im a heavy gamer open to alot really. this game sucks badly it never delivered alot of what it said it would thats for starters
We are working as quickly as possible to get everything we desired to put in the game into the game. Due to the circumstances surrounding the game's development it was either launch the game or kill the project entirely. We have put in a lot into the game in the past week and will continue to do so. We will deliver what we said we would; we just need time to deliver. We're only two guys (three, now) but we're working as quickly as physically possible. Have you installed the patches yet?
@Firgof hey, thanks for that message and ill take you up on waiting for the patches. im a big 4x fan and i really had my hopes up. thanks again for the insights and kind words:)
Everything that is listed is in the game in some form or another at this time. It's just that some of it isn't as deep as we'd like it to have been at launch or is only implemented primitively at this time. e.g. the AI does indeed simulate designing new ships but currently lacks the ability to generate new designs. If this is still dis-satisfactory, PM me your receipt details and I'll try and get you a refund ASAP. I would advise installing the patches before making that decision, however.
just got the download of the game . pretty good so far . lots to learn and its like a 4x 3d with elements of quite a few indy and not so "indy" games (space empires etc) all in all seems like a nastily clever game.:))
All I sayd is that EvE is EvE, and all other games - are NOT EvE. Even if there is stars, lots of space-ships, market, planets, stations, more stars... =]
@FunkmasterFink for the same reason many have compared any mmo after Wow to WoW. even if its REMOTLEY similar, there goes the "ooh its like wow" and Wow is better" cheerleader squad. its that vain and simple.
There are people, who always write "EvE" under anything, that's got stars/planets/spaceships.... sadly, EvE got blamed for this, despite being totally unlike any other game those people try to compare it to/with...
@buogima agree with you, I cant wait to get to play infinity, il buy it even if it cost 1000$ that game is worth it, 10 bilions systems? DUDE I'D KILL FOR THAT GAME!
@buogima Yep. Very, very good graphics. Nice engine. Lots of work done in that retrospect. More, that most games get...
But unfortunatelly, last time I've checked, there was nothing more, but graphics. Who knows, what they'll make of it. May be something totally unlike anything else. Wait 5 years and see.
X3 - played, finished, played a bit more, enjoed a lot.
It was NOT like EvE. Not a little bit. None. Nada. No way.
@buogima well the effort put into infinity is about the physics and keeping to the massive story line. the game itself sadly gets so sucky that only either a die hard fishbowl metality is able to handle the non-pvp stuff and a sado-masochist the pvp stuff or someone who just hasnt played long enough to realize its an massive adventure in bordedom and time consumption. EVE is what EVE is and nothing more really.....
@LeeNTien eve sucks really ive played it for on and off 4 years and to be honest its a very elegantly sophisticated and redundant game unless played with friends just for the pvp oh, theres tons of stuff but lol quite so many did quit even after having massive corps and money... it gets boring
@kahetel13 I've got to agree. When I started off in eve it was filled with extortionists that would seek out new corps to try to rape them of their coin, as we learned to just ignore them, they went away looking for better fish to try to fry, as our corp grew I finally realized that I was bored silly with the game, turned over controls to another play in the corp and moved on. Though they keep sending me invites to return I just don't have the desire to do so. I'm not that much of a masochist
@DesertRidgeline yep and EVE is filled with scandals even with its staff. took me a while for me to figure it out but basically the game is designed to fleece players. theres more of a co-dependency involved in even staging to play the game than the enjoyment or execution of it. there were too many people that left stating some form of "fuck this" (and many were filthy rich and in big corps) for me not to start investigating and then deciding "nice game story and mechanics but, its a scam "..
@DrParadoxable How come every space game looks like Eve.. Eve was far from the first. And if I understand this game concept I say it looks more like Sword of the stars or sins of a solar empire. And is a RT4X game wich Eve is pretty far from
The next teaser has been canceled, as we felt it didn't get much information about the game across. It will be a few weeks or longer before the next media release.
