Post by: Dark_4ce on July 08, 2002, 05:25:54 am
This looks like its going to be a really SWEEET Game! I have the first two, and they're excelent! They are known for combining many of the favorite genres into one really good one. Check it out.

I got IG2:Alliances, but thats nothing like the screenies. (A good game though)

Yeah I know. I love alliances. The only game which really combines ground attack warfare with huge space battles, as well as galactic diplomacy. It was like combining Ground Assault, Homeworld, and Civilization 2 all in one. Really sweet game. But this.... Oh mama...

Seems that it has pretty nice graphics, though my current (:rolleyes: ) computer cannot run it. I know it.

Anyway, I hope the heavy graphics doesn't mean that the diplomatic stuff will be less... I really liked that.

Hmmm, I dunno... On my Athlon 1gig It ran flawlessly! I mean atleast at 90fps, with full video settings. And I get like 45-60fps playing Aliens VS. Predator 2! So I think they have pritty tight coding with little or no memory leakage. Man, Everytime I look at the demo I almost feel like crying... :D

A screenie I took from playing the demo:

:jaw:   Wooohooooooo :jaw:

Where did you find that. I knew it was gonna be a bad ass game.
I have a PC magazine that shows the same kind of kombat but the skins aren't all that great. Imperium Galactica 2 was kind of boring. There wasn'tmuch going on. Allthough I can say this. You never played the same game twice. But there are only 3 races.

Lez see... at least a GeForce 2... ummhh... DX8 preferably... etc etc... game actually doesn't require much to run... its beautiful ;)  But that demo there is made for a certain graphics card, the website says that they will come out with a demo for other cards soon.

Post by: Dark_4ce on July 08, 2002, 04:07:03 pm
Well the demo worked fine on my geforce3. I think the demo is normal apart from only showing the tri-monitior capability for the matrox card thats all. But I could be wrong.

Its got a few graphical glitches and bugs on my GeForce 3... not sure about other ppl, but I've also had a few game freezes too... Some stuff like the bump mapping makes the ships look worse and stuff...
Title: OT: Imperium Galactica III: Genesis
Post by: Dark_4ce on July 08, 2002, 04:10:12 pm
hmm. Well, I never survive long enough for a freeze. :D So I guess it could be problem as well.

oh comon, once you know how to do it right you don't even lose a single ship... Lets just say.. the E torps really damage those shields...and the plasma etc really damage hull ;)

I don't have a Gforce 3.
But I have aprimary graphics display that comes with the MotherBoard and its not helping at all. I think my brother gave my dad a G-force 2 or 3. I'll have to wait to use it later. I was wondering why the game wont run on the primary graphics. It runs all the other games Ihave installed on there. But not Imperium G 3.  I wonder why.

Anyone know ?

Integrated? Oh no...

I have an integrated graphics card, and it surely isn't good.
Title: OT: Imperium Galactica III: Genesis
Post by: SlipStream on July 12, 2002, 03:42:33 pm
So then I need a G-force 3 or better ?
If I don't get the chance tp play the demo can someone tell  me what the game is like. Are the shield affects good. I mean looking at the screenshots, is it the same in the game or the same graphics ?
And can we hear the primary eapons being fired, are there any sound affects that we can heard unlike in the first and second  one ?
