The alpha has definitely been fun so far. Each day I get on the forums to see if a new patch was released & what is included in it. It's like Hanukkah except it goes on longer... For me, the number one thing I'm waiting for is the unit cannon. Being able to sit on a moon and rain troops down to a planet. Back in the day, when I was in middle-school, I would write out ideas for games in this black-and-white notebook. One of those ideas was a game like PA: different species fighting, invading planets, conquering worlds, destroying planets...the works. I was going to call it...."Survival of the Species"... :lol: Relax, I was 12-14 when I was daydreaming about it . Watching this game develop, for me, is like watching a childhood dream come to life, its wonderful. Plus, when you stop and think about it, its also equally breathtaking to see that, we (the community), more-or-less, had the same fantasy RTS game in mind when we would dream about the coolest RTS game of all time. Clearly, I wasn't the only kid with a notebook... This is more over just an excited post but if your excited for something or daydreamed about a similar RTS game, feel free to share with the group... :lol:
I think just having an RTS with different planets and taking them over is something people have wanted for a long time but the tech wasn't ready.
Its going to be awesome if this game feels like back in the day when you first fired up a game of TA....No recent PC games have felt that epic. Supcom was pretty close but still lacked the speed of ta, the epic music, sound effects, & explosions. BTW wasnt there some sort of unit canon in Supcom 2?
