Interesting read. Probably going to get the game on thursday...alongside a pair of shiny RTX cards![e digicons]:P[/e] Where are the reviews or some "campaign" gameplay vids, BTW? Wanted to check something recently in my free time, only to find out, aside of Gamescom trailer, there is nothing worthwhile to watch. It is hard to get excited for the game under such condition... I know there is more to engine than visuals, but it does not really look like some advanced itera

Well, it turns out its expensive as hell. I still want 2 of those 2080Ti´s [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] Anyway, will we be getting raytracing for Ashes? Since there was so much talk, how that game is all around technological "etalon" - and no doubt it is - it would be awesome if it added this feature, since i suppose it would improve the visuals even further. And i definitely want it for my Sins 2 :-D

Essential question: If i purchase the game now (its possible, right?), can i play the single-player campaign too, or still the fleet battles only? I definitely intend to buy, but was OK to wait for official release. However, now i have my 8-years old niece here at holiday, who is bit whiny, cause without mum, so i want to distract her with a new game - i was thinking either Subnautica, No Mans Sky or Star Control... SC being the one i would be interested too.... Another questi

So on Monday Nvidia revealed their new GPU architecture codenamed Turing, although so far only in form of professional Quadro cards, gaming cards based on this new arch are apparently behind the doors too - to be revealed next Monday on GamesCom. Anyone in for GPU upgrade? It is rumored that new 2080 will be even faster than Titan V, at least in Ashes in Singularity. Which is kinda feature, as Titan is a massive chip sold for exorbitant price. Personally, i am incredibly curious, espe

Oh, i see, that is too bad. Not Mac, cause its 2010 you said? That is definitely not going to be "fast".

If you care about speed, dont buy notebooks. Especially not the ones with the AMD pre-Ryzen CPUs, dual-core additionally - in 2018 - that was really bizzare idea, especially for someone who is into computers. If you are hellbent on laptop, then the option 2 is the answer. Definitely dont invest into the one you bought, neither buy 8-years old Mac.

So we are supposed to wait for Sins II until 2088?

[e digicons]:hrmph:[/e] I actually haven't been waiting for a good SC sequel for years...cuz after SC3, I thought the franchise was dead. When I heard about SCO and saw what content was already available, it awakened such childish glee as the world has never seen. And that's o

E3 sucks massively this year. The "AAA" gaming industry has been pretty much reduced into Battlefield and few other FPS games, now with Battle Royale flavour of the year, few car games and then shit ton of action adventure RPG games in the open world.... its boring as shit. Smaller companies like StarDock and indie devs is where its at these days.

[quote quoting="post"] Please note that I definitely wouldn't normally use one game's forum to call attention to another (is generally in bad taste), but I hope everyone forgives me on this one occasion, because I feel this is for a good, very much instructive cause. [/quote] I dont think so. It is perhaps bad taste, if you register to the forum only to promote the other game, while havin

[quote who="MrPhalanx" reply="5" id="3716855"] But Tim, you miss one point. It was Ok in CNC to bombers carry a fixed amount of bombs, and they needed to return the base to reload, but because the game itself plays in the MODERN era, where warfare is similar... But we are talking about the FUTURE, where warfare is entirely different. In Ashes and SupCom, the units created from particles (metal, radioactive, mass, energy, godknowsonlywhat, etc...) at much faster speed

Anyone familiar with a nice little RTS game called Rusted Warfare? I found about it fairly recently, about 2 months ago, when it got randomly offered to me by Steam. Anyway, its a game similar to Supreme Commander, its pretty much indie version of it in 2D graphics - cause apparently, its not only PC, but Android game too. There are notable differences against SupCom, like the economy works more like in CnC games, where you can build things only with money on you account, but otherwis

[quote who="MrPhalanx" reply="1" id="3716489"] Yes, i have to say, experimental units add a very uniqe feeling to all RTS-s what use them. Sadly, there are only a handful of them. But you missed only one RTS , what contains Experimental units ( well its more on less based on entirely on experimental units), and that is a Hungarian RTS made in 2007, named WarFront: Turning Point. Its an alternative WW2 RTS(slightly mediocre), similar to C&C Generals, but mo

As far as i am concerned, only Trek that matters to me, is TNG-DS9-VOY. Saying that, the only Trek TV-show i am interested in, is the one continuing these, set in the same timeline, relative shortly after these happened, with relatively consistent setting, alien, story, etc... I can watch Abrams Trek and Discovery just fine, but if i am thinking stuff related to Star Trek, like say computer games, i am only interested in ones set in TNG era of Prime universe. Case in point, th

[quote who="GrayLord" reply="26" id="3715818"] I was pleasantly not disappointed with Solo. Not the greatest movie, but a lot better than 7, 8, & even Rouge One. I too am more of a fan of Star Trek, however the "re-imaging" of Star Trek II has pretty much killed my interest (never bothered to see the last one. The premier of Discovery further killed it. [/quote] Do not agree with Solo being better than Rogue One, but obviously tastes

I saw it on Sunday. It was decent. Strong when it comes to usual stuff like effects, overall cinematography, IMO actually some good acting this time around (Emilia Clarke, Woody Harrelson, Paul Bettany, Thandie Newton, even the Solo actor i found okayish)...weak when it comes to story. Which was nothing special. I saw zillion movies with similar premise. Except this one was set in SW universe and cost zillions to produce. Then again, it least it was not ripping off previous SW iterati

[quote who="Taslios" reply="376" id="3714087"] As for the recognizable.... I'd say that even if it is not recognized by all, being recognized by some has value. There are people who have waited 20+ years for a new SC game that is a premade market. Also the TM allows any new material made and sold to be protected. Either way... when people think of a Bioware game they in general know they are going to get a h

[quote who="Taslios" reply="374" id="3714062"] Timmy, SCII was made in 1992 A very large number of consumers who may buy the game were not even born yet when this game came out. I've stated several times I've never played it myself. Initially I was interested in the game specifically and only because StarDock was involved and making it. I'm willing to bet that 90% of the people who buy it will have n

[quote who="Taslios" reply="372" id="3714054"] Timmaigh, The trademark dictates who can produce and sell an item. Look at the Abrams Trek and Star Trek Discovery vrs TOS, STNG, DS9, and the earlier movies.... Both CBS and Paramount who were once one company and are now seperate companies control some portion of the Trademark, so both can sell something known as Star Trek. However they don't share the same IP when it comes to the copyrig
