I learned about this game the 3rd of Januar, which is about 10 days ago, and decided to preorder. When i looked at the preorder and the kickstarter and saw the difference in what you get. For me, who really wanted Progenitor Commander and/or alpha commander due to its preview art ( which i really liked ) i wondered if there will be a opportunity to get either of them. I'm probably not the only one who is late out to find this game, and missed out on ingame items i have interest in.
Unfortunately, short of buying someones off of them, I don't believe there's a way. It would be a little unfair to those who backed the project if one could get some of the bonus reward items from the KS this long after it ended. (That's just my view on the topic though.)
Pretty much as above, the Progenitor Commander was a KS exclusive(Thus the name) and can be viewed as a reward for taking on the risk of funding the project. Not that I'm trying to de-value your support via Pre-Order, just that without the KS backers you wouldn't have a chance to pre-order anything right now. Mike
It is a shame i didnt know about it or got to know about it at the time being, as i am a supcom fan and i would've definetly bet my money on getting it on the PC. Although i have preordered and i hope that even that will help them on getting the game done so we can all enjoy it. i get the Theta Commander atleast Do you think there could be a ingame shop showing different commanders? would be interesting, but not everyone is interested in having such a thing around.
It's possible, but not likely, RTS game by their nature don't work well with progression and the usual F2P models(CNC4 anyone? xD) so it's be like trying to jam a square block into a round hole. Mike
Agreed. I was happy to hear about Generals 2, not that crap. But EA is a moneyhole these years and it will probably stay that way. Anyways even if they did add something that changed cosmetics ingame it would benefit them to improve and perhaps add expansions to the game (we all will probably enjoy that.), they do listen to their fans and this game is made for the fans.
Will the game be available via Steam or in retail Box form at various retailers? Or is preorder the only way to get this game?
I just bought the 250 edition and on my conformation print out it listed Progenitor Commander and Alpha commander as included and let me pick a shirt with one of them as the logo. I picked Progenitor. I think they included in the 250 edition. I sent an email and posted this on face book asking about it. I curios because on kick starter they said exclusive item only and I begged the game makers if there was any way to get the blue guy and it shows up on my order form. so we'll see.
