is there a single player campaign or is it multiplayer only?
Both. From what I see in the videos, you can command AI squads in the manner of Brothers in Arms now. Would be interesting if they can carry this over into MP
-
Been jaded by FPS in general, but I'm looking forward to this!
I play RO Darkest Hour mod once in a while
-
I'll let you know when I get into the main battle, but the tutorials are fine, but not much units in them
I know TOW1 was laggy with lots of units on a P4...
-
You mean if you turn off HDR and Ambient occlusion you have graphical glitches? Is AA turned on in control panel?
yes
turing off AA in the control panel fixed it
so there is some issue with the AA?
-
Yeah but you will need a new power supply for a new video card for the special plugs they require for power. Most of them require 2 power connections
My Gainward 7800GS++ (7900GT) does.
I used a 380w PSU on it for a while, using an adaptor to get the required plugs, but I could no longer overclock my system as high as I used to and then the socket that connects to the mainboard eventually melted
replaced the mainbaord with a 2nd hand unit from ebay and board a Corsair HX-620 600w PSU. Awesome power supply, and near silent. Gave me all the extra plugs and connections I needed along with a modular design so you can unhook any plugs you don't need
-
Yep, you have to uncheck "ambient occlusion" and the ghosts are gone.
it's off....
I get these giant filled out squares. I'm not the only, others have the same problem....
-
funny thing is, with HDR on the demo looks fine
but if I turn it off, I get a weird ghosting issue!
-
never mind I saw a button to invert it
-
fastest ATI AGP card is the 3850 HD. There are no Nvidia equalients speed wise
it's pretty cheap these days. And even with a P4 the speed difference is noticable.
It'll be like 5 times faster than your current card
-
makes thing look better basicly
better contrast, bloom, highlights
but with older Nvidia cards AA will stop working
-
is there anyway to reverse the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out?
The way it works is the total opposite to how my brain likes it
I like forward scroll to zoom in, and scroll back to zoom out.
In TOW2 demo it's the opposite
-
if you have an older Nvidia card, HDR and AA doesn't work together
-
An ATI 3850HD comes in AGP format and is the last and fastest of the AGP cards
I still have a Pentium 4 3.2ghtz machine with a 7900GT 512megs ram and I can run most recent games just fine

I found this - video of TOW2 Grant

charming

what doesn't it rain anyway...? Radioactive rain FTW!
typing "fov 90" in the console "~" has saved my eyes and a headache!
-
I just hold down the change camera/view key - whatever you have assigned it to, and then move the mouse
---
I recommned the interface mod, increase the numbers of lines/smaller fonts to get rid of the console feel - the usual Oblivion type mods
-
My character - with and without hockey mask
P4 3ghz, 1 gig and 7900gt AGP with 512megs - video card is o/c to just under 7900GTX levels. Old system..... I put it together a year before HL2 came out
runs ok at medium setting, 1280x960, but I tweaked things and turned shadows off (doesn't make a lot of difference unlike other games) and actor distance to max, and it averages about 28 fps with 8xAnsio, no AA, and with HDR. in the busier outdoor areas. And can shoot up to 40-65 in other areas. No HDR+AA together with my gen of video card like Obvilion.
Actually runs similar to Oblivion, maybe a little better optimised
More ram is better though to get rid of the judders when it's caching
It didn't set me on fire at first, but it's growing on me like a tumour
A bit too grey for my tastes visually
I played through the start section once, saved that away and did few test runs through with different character builds, to get a feel for things and get rid of the noob errors, some with god mode on... press ~ and type "tgm" on a PC
now I'm doing it properly and slowly savouring each location properly.
Man it really feels like I am Legend movie
loving the sawn off shotty and hunters rifle
what I like is seeing, is trader caravan and other NPC traveling on their own in the land. I sometimes follow them as they move about slowly, and pick up the loot from the creatures/attackers they encounter and kill
or when I get attacked run away and lead the attackers into some of these other NPC and watch the fight
although it's not a common occurance as you'd expect

Aussie voices = awesome
I spam their voice commands like nothing

Maxis has made some Spore prototypes available for download
Maxis made two new prototypes available. Instead of weird simulations, now they released the whole prototypes of the creature and space stages.In SPUG, the player controls an avatar creature on a simple planetary terrain where they may hunt prey, evade predators, eat, rest and level up their stats.
In SPACE, the player explores a galaxy of stars with a spacecraft, discovering new worlds to terraform and colonize and encountering alien species to fight or befriend.

Gamasutra has an interesting (and in-depth!) interview with Soren Johnson regarding Spore
Interview: Soren Johnson - Spore's Strategist
Designer and programmer Soren Johnson came to work at Maxis on Spore in late 2007, after more than 5 years working as a designer on the Civilization series at Firaxis. Most notably, he programmed the AI for Civilization III and then stepped up to lead designer and AI creator on the acclaimed Civilization IV - so adding him was a significant coup for Will Wright's Emeryville-based team.http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3722/interview_soren_johnson__spores_.php
