That's the first semi-interesting video I've seen someone post about this game since the hype train started.
All the commercials are pretty good if you ask me. Unfortunately, the cinematic team is stolen away to work on the single player campaign, so no more commercials.
They did enough commercials to cover most of the scope of the game. Maybe they might need one or two to sell the remaining capital ships, but tbh I'd rather they work on the single player side. Commercials are awesome, but if it's in game it's even better People be tending to post the more esoteric stuff, rather than the things that I'm actually looking forward to :p
It's early. There's a lot of uncertainty and the current product isn't terribly compelling. Hopefully 2.0 and its "capture the Idris" will show off some core competencies of sc when it gets released some time before Christmas.
Currently, racing ain't bad at all. I do like how it's doing the best it can to immerse you with how much of yourself you see and all these little animations as you interact with stuff. The direction they are taking health and death is also pretty swell. That's all I can really say about it currently though. Honestly, I'm also one of those guys hoping the game will deliver on what I want. Personally I kinda want to be like that main guy from guardians of the galaxy. Just fly my ship to random planets or space debris and have fun exploring and looking for phat loot. I'm really just hoping this can be my Ultima Online in space. I did hope space combat was gonna be fun but it's doing a bunch of stuff I don't like. Not its fault, just not what I want.
Exploring. I mentioned this a bunch of times, it's why I got a 315p. The problem is what I want can't happen til the actual game comes out. On the plus side the fps part doesn't look bad, I think I will be spending time whenever that comes out.
Yeah, that's a shame. Exploring in the pu will be fun, but it's one of those things that they can't really "trial" early, you know? You can set up a dog fighting module, an fps module, and multi crew ship combat scenarios, but exploring needs too much space and too much randomness to fit into a simple little module.
Lazybum and me are gonna be 315p buddies, aka I'm gonna AFK a lot wait for him to find something.. and then blow him up... :D Empires Love.
Makes me wonder if you convert it so ships can launch from it. Hull ship being used as a spacecraft carrier is neato.
It's been confirmed that there will be some kind of module to do just that. However, it was suggested that it'll support small snub fighters like the one on the connie, not a "full sized" ship. I would also doubt that it would permit more than a handful of them. We'll see.
