1) Future scouting:Scout in the future to gain intelligence. When you learn what you want, in present time cancel the scout order. You already know where the enemy is and that unit needs not leave the base.
2) Chronocloning:You are getting attacked and you do not have enough units. Take a bunch of units, send them back to fight alongside their past selves.
3)Economic warfare.Destroy enemy's resources in the past negating any unit he has built with those in the present.
wow...this game has too much blinking. That must make you dumb after looking at it for too long.
Also this looks poorly made. nobody wants to see lasers that are nothing but unmoving lines on the screen. Even my old strategy games like Dune, C&C, stronghold, KoH etc. knew how to do this better.....
@SuperAngryMarine i didnt said that it isnt different, i just said that its better. i mean come on, dont lie to urself, would you play cod all day or this shit?
@zsolti1001 This, I'm an RTS man, secondly I don't like FPS multiplayer it fucking sucks, and sense I'm sure CoDs Singleplayer is short as hell.... well you saw my answer, I'd play this game 15 times..
@zsolti1001 It's not like fps & rts are the only genres in the world.
I would personally enjoy some quality time on a adventure game or perhaps a horror game, either way, i really detest mainstream gamers taste/opinion on more innoative & different games since for once some1 tries to break free from the same tired genre
ok this is wierd ..so ..i can..see the future....see when and how my enemy will come....but ...then again he can do the same and we end up in "stel mate" cant spell it ...cause if he advances his troops and u kill them then he goes back in time and uses a strategy that doesnt involve him dying..but then u go even back back then him and find out what he did and do something to kill him but then he finds out and does something against that and so on? like wtf?
All in all, this game plays the same with 2D pictures, or 3D models. And everyone who's complaining about the graphics, 2 things.
1. Stop your complaining. I'm sorry this isn't the HD graphics of the year, it wasn't meant to be. This game is played for its innovative mechanic. Unless you want the 2D pictures as units, then stop complaining.
2. Not all great games have to have perfect graphics, look at minecraft.
The game finally comes out, with having added 2 more races, a single player campaign, 3D models and art from the players, bug fixes, and still keeping the time travel mechanics.
Anyone who has been with this game since the beginning will know exactly what I'm talking about.
January 2010.
The first month we could pre-order the game, and therefore get the minecraft-like alpha/beta playability. The graphics. Horrible. Some of them were even 2D pictures. There was only 1 race playable. The humans. You could only play multiplayer/skirmish. But it still has the same time travel mechanics.
9/10 on RTSGuru.com. The reviews seem to be all over the place, but most I've seen have been fairly positive, 8/10 on GDN, 75/100 on GameFront... Destructoid is the only one below 6/10 I've encountered.
i was thinking off getting it but after watching that wow that so fails looks so bad i have played so many strategy games i love them so much so i can tell when there is a fail game and this is one for sure
why the hate? oh i forgot that 75% of the gamers these days hate everything that isnt call of duty and if something new and interesting comes along it gets hate.
@kirielvids This is basically an RTS with a time travel gimmick. Not new and not interesting.
People like you are more annoying than the kids who constantly make fun of Justin Bieber.
75% of gamers hate anything not Call of Duty? Then why is it that everyone always says that, and everyone always agrees? Oh I forgot that it's suddenly cool to hate popular things, and you're a fucking retard trying to get thumbs up.
@AVMthrasher If you call time travel a gimmick, then you might as well call real-time strategies a gimmick compared to turn-based strategies. After all, the real-time is just a gimmick, right.
Please, support your opinion with evidence. Have you played the game? Do you know of the impact of time-travel?
Perhaps what kirielvids said is an exaggeration. But he has a point. Everything that has slightly less(or more realistic) aestethics gets disliked into oblivion.
@AVMthrasher I can assure you it's not just a gimmick. If anything, it's more like a very complex time-manipulation simulation with an RTS added on top. And the art might be meh, but the gameplay works superbly.
And after playing it, other RTS just feel so...linear.
@kirielvids Maybe because the graphics and art style look like complete shit and other than the time shifting mechanic, the game has nothing remotely interesting going for it. Anyone not jaded or biased can see this pretty clearly.
@kirielvids I don't play Call of Duty. Check my channel. And if I did, it wouldn't be for the graphics. Newsflash: Call of Duty's visuals have been outdated for years now, especially compared to games like Bad Company 2 and Crysis 2. I know a mediocre game when I see one, and even with its time-shifting mechanic this is one of 'em. I'll come back when the game begins receiving mediocre review scores just to remind you how clueless you are.
@Chubzdoomer oh yeah, other then teh time shifting mechanic. Well derp, the game is based around it. it's like saying CoD sucks other then the shooting.
@kirielvids lol, CoD is so damn booring and games like that :P , only time game like that where good was when medal of honor was released on playstation 1... then it had this "oh this is new and interesting and good" feeling.
@kirielvids real gamers dont play call of duty.... its for xbox and ps3 pussies and those arent real gamers, just some fukin wannabes. fps is not a gamers game.
@edvinastox How would you know if you've played it, and if you haven't played it then you can't actually judge it, except if you have played it you can't be a real gamer
@kirielvids Yea, know what you mean. I just saw some video about "Sword of the Stars II: Lords of Winter"
I was kinda surprised, l liked it a lot. Also there aren't that many space games out there, but somehow there are many dislikes and negative comments EVEN THO there was no gameplay released etc. so, how to hate a game which you don't even know abou- oh, I see. It's not CoD.
I like it how people just care about graphics these days rather than gameplay, shows how stupid the gaming community is these days. Also I like it how a lot of gamers go on video games such as Resistance 3 and say stuff like "The Graphics sucks) when it's obvious that Resistance 3 has way better graphics than CoD.
@au25 pc gaming is best if you have a good enough system.. and lol im not a fanboy.. i like my ps3 equally much.. i like consoles but im just saying pc are better if you know how to use it. pc gaming has mods to enhance your gaming experience... you can use controllers if you want.. most games have dedicated servers for online play and most games have more features compared to their console counter part.. :/
@au25 well something must be wrong with ur system or ur just lying to prove me wrong... this is the internets... i dont care if you believe me or not.. i have a 4gb ram, 9800m gs with core2 duo 2.13.. and i can run crysis2 so im pretty sure i can run rable 3 :D it also depends on if the game is optimised :/
@GigantGatlingGun nothing is wrong with my system. What is wrong is your fucking uninformed brain. Fable 3 runs like SHIT and i can run crysis maxed out, EVERYONE knows that crysis 2 is inferior than the first and therefore could be easilly maxed out. So your bullshit "i can run crysis 2 and i am prety sure i can run fable 3" is the uninfromed internets bullshit you are talking about.
The video in 3 sentences:
1) Future scouting:Scout in the future to gain intelligence. When you learn what you want, in present time cancel the scout order. You already know where the enemy is and that unit needs not leave the base.
2) Chronocloning:You are getting attacked and you do not have enough units. Take a bunch of units, send them back to fight alongside their past selves.
3)Economic warfare.Destroy enemy's resources in the past negating any unit he has built with those in the present.
