Freakin sweet... can't wait till I get home 😀.
Wow...that was just terrible. I don't know what to say.
The game doesnt make any sense to me. It's total annihilation on a grander scale...yet for the life of me, I cant tell a bit of difference other than new graphics; it seems to play nearly exactly the same - just more units, on a larger scope.
Yet this scope is so large, that you are forced to essentially view the battle from WAY up on high in order to make any sense of it. And at that scale, your units are so tiny they are represented by geometrical icons. If you were to zoom down to a reasonable distance to try to catch any of the action, you STILL wouldnt be able to see more than a few pixels of your units, they are so spread apart. Bullets and such as also so tiny its impossible to tell if you units are actually shooting, and what theyre shooting at.
I guess it's just as well you view the action from up high, since the frame rate is ass on a modern system, and the gfx arent too hot anyway.

That's one huge demo. IMO, Gas Powered Games has had high ambitions, but never fully delivered. I really hope SC doesn't fall into that problem.

Sorta standard nowadays, when many games are filling up a DVD and then some.
Am downloading now.

Meh - I canceled my preorder after messing around with it this afternoon. Very pretty, but nothing I haven't played before, many times over.
