Well, I guess its up to the individual, but my sole problem with the AoM music was its lack of "epicness". Yeah it was catchy and all, but it seemed kinda petty compared to the battle of the gods type gameplay. To each his own I guess. An...  [Read More]

Oops, sorry. I miss read the DirectX Diagnosis you posted into saying you had 256 RAM for your comp. My bad. In that case, I don't know what to say, other than possibly update your drivers, because people with stats around those of your behemoth of a...  [Read More]

Dawn of War is fun, but more in the Warcraft flash-and-jazz kinda way (although it has a quite complex squad system, which I guess makes up for the lacking economy). But back on topic, I don't know how you could say that AoE3's music was subpar, esp...  [Read More]

Not really. On the screenshots, yes, but in reality, nope. Look at Dawn of War. They are much prettier, from the lowest computer to the highest beast. There's also so much capitalization on graphical quality from Ensemble. We keep hearing about how i...  [Read More]

I guess it just depends on your expectations. My computer is hardly top of the line, but the game looks identical to the screenshots, minus HDL and Shader 3.0 (which my graphics card can't handle) and the sharpness afforded by a higher resolution. It...  [Read More]

Hmmmmm.............. My opinion of the demo: It had a poor first impression. The graphics looked ok-ish until I updated my drivers (then they looked awesome, even on my middling PC, I definitely think that those who are disappointed with the graphi...  [Read More]

To answer the original question, ground based RTS a la AoE fused with a space RTS a la Homeworld. As I type this, rumour has it that Age Of Empires might be going online like Galaxies. Its been confirmed that it is not an Age game, but some other...  [Read More]

Yes I think that it would make sense if it were done similarly to how AoE3 handles natives (big surprise there, huh?). In AoE3, the natives essentially function as neutral entities in the field, and you can ally with them by setting up an outpost th...  [Read More]

Seeing how different this game is compared to C&C, I'd say it won't be a C&C/Ao_/_Craft resource collection style. If I had to bet, considering the similarities, as far as we know, to the Total War series and dissimilarities with the other ga...  [Read More]

I think that the King Tiger would be on the other end of the spectrum, but, yeah, similar idea. The way I see it, its just the empire being economical. They cannot keep pace with the rebs quick and cheap tanks with their newly designed walkers, so t...  [Read More]

I agree with the thread starter. They appear to be a forerunner to the walkers and a cheap, massable alternative once they are available. As Vostok said, the empire's army really is built on diametrically different poles that both work towards one go...  [Read More]

Im with Kryllith on the whole resource management/gathering. You only have to look at my avatar/title to figure out what I think of resource management. If not resources per se (cause that is very un-Star Wars), then some limiting factor to make the...  [Read More]

AoK:TC most definitely. It is insanely fun, deceptively deep, and brilliantly made. It may not have come out as early as Dune 2 or have the widespread adulation of StarCraft, but it is the template on which all RTS's are based and the game against wh...  [Read More]
