Title: O.r.b.
Post by: Unknown Target on April 10, 2002, 03:43:49 pm
I know it's kinda old news, but here's an interesting-looking title:

//www.o-r-b.com

It's supposed to be one of the most MODable space games out there, and it's graphics r0xor!

But, being a die-hard Homeworld lover and veteran, I must say that it's almost exactly like HW, except for new ships and [slightly] improved graphics.
Also, look down in the right-hand corner of this shot: (http://www.o-r-b.com/gallery/DisplayImage.asp?sImage=/images/screenshots/large/screen97.jpg)
Is it just me, or does it say RU (Resource Units) and SU (Support Units)?
Also, it's got trails, which basically should be a Homeworld trademark, because that's what makes Homeworld (and HW:C), well, Homeworld!

"looking at the pic"
well, one thing is sure, we won't need a registry hack to have high res maps in this game :p

looks hella beautiful, but it could use 3d engine glows damnit!

edit: oh... the ships even have search lights... never heard about that game before, but now I'm interested...

alright...everyone sign up...and then whoever gets it can *accidentally leak* it to the rest of us...clam hackers got into your computer and stole it...sound like a clueless parent :p

Post by: Thorn on April 10, 2002, 04:22:12 pm
We could do that, or we could just post more screenshots and make the rest of you suffer...

This looks interesting. As far as graphics goes, the ship textures are quite sharp and those engine trails look simply great. Overall though, the graphics somehow look too colorful for my tastes; I prefer the darker atmosphere of FS/FS2. ;)
