Post by: Fineus on December 10, 2001, 03:10:00 am: Am I the only one here who really likes the look of this game? It's being made by the ones that bought you X-Wing Vs Tie and X-Wing Alliance, they know thier stuff. And with regards to that shield effect - you never know how it'll look till you see it in action.

Post by: Unknown Target on December 11, 2001, 01:33:00 pm: Actually, Thunder, I love the game, but not for who made it, I think it's cool because it's purty, and it has to do with Star Trek

Title: Don't like ST? Then tell me this doesn't look awesome:
Post by: Fineus on December 13, 2001, 04:51:00 pm: Apparently so - you'd think at least someone would realise that Volition is very good at one thing - space games. They're not bad at other things but space is their niche. ID can do FPS like no other - similarly Volition can do space like no other and when publishers realise this we should be in for a wild ride (or not - as it looks now).

Post by: Stryke 9 on January 01, 2002, 09:03:00 pm: They don't look all that cool. Nice fog, aight beams, that's really it. The ST universe has uninspired ships in general, and the models fail to make me drool. The interface is crap- but that's beta. If you like screenshots of fancy effects, I could take one at practically any point in I-War and many parts of FreeSpace (the nebula in particular) that would blow those ones away, no questions.

Post by: an0n on January 02, 2002, 03:57:00 pm: Pearl Of Wisdom: Never EVER judge a game on screenshots.

You'll probably see a shot that looks kinda cool but when you buy the game you need a beast of a machine to run it and even then that shot will have been the best one out of hundreds taken and you'll most likely never see anything like it.
Title: Don't like ST? Then tell me this doesn't look awesome:
Post by: Stryke 9 on January 02, 2002, 05:18:00 pm: But they can tell you things about the game's interface and operation, which is why I'm unimpressed.

And good screenies can mean it's a good game, or has something you want. They DO tell you a lot, just because they don't tell you everything doesn't mean you should disregard them.

Post by: vadar_1 on January 02, 2002, 11:32:00 pm: well from one screenshot of the console that you will be working with most of the game it can tell you a great lot. Ex: what options you have, what the enviroment will be like, possible features, etc

edit: star trek sux, jeez, i just cant stand the dialog in those movies, and just the whole damn trekkie community, with there toy phasers and gaaah makes me want to kill them all!!!!! [/rant]

well, not me, coz i've seen too many tweaked screenshots... Someone remembers the first tiberian sun screens, with the awseome light effects when a tank was firing, stuff like that? Oh well.

Well when I played Starfleet Command, I liked it quite a bit, only thing I didnt like was that it was all old school ships. Old school is great and all, but I wanted to take a Sovereign-class out there and blast some Borg with my quantum torpedoes! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif) Anyhow, this game looks pretty cool, and it could deliver that experience. So I'm willing to give it a go... meaning I'll mooch it off of one of my friends for a week and decide if I want to buy it or not. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
