Section 8
on: June 02, 2009, 08:55:35 pm
Trailer

That drop ship reminds me of the ones from STC Roughnecks. I'm hoping this game's powered armor makes the game play at least a little different from that of a normal FPS - Ever since I've read Starship Troopers, I've always wanted to see a good movie or play a nice vidya game that incorporated PA well. Unfortunately, Fallout 1 & 2 didn't convey changes (if any) in game play too well (strength modifiers aside), Halo seemed like just another generic FPS, Half-Life's suit was pretty inconsequential, long jump aside...

The only game I ever recall that made me like the Powered Armor was Tribes: Vengence...

It is pretty reminiscent of Roughnecks.

Good cinematic!  I wonder what the gameplay will be like.

It looks like SST how it was meant to be, cinematically.  PA, hot drops, badass looking ships.  The only thing I can see that's actually different is the armor has shields, instead of just shrugging off damage.

United States Imperial Fleet.  Mmmm

I still think adding umlauts to the Ünited Stätes would be more brutal, but Imperial is a close runner up.

Though we can do a little snazier then youtube

Just sayin'.

EDIT: In fact I'm pretty sure I've seen a Longshot modded and painted that looks even more like the rifle in the trailer.

The guy's gun looks more like the Impaler Rifle from StarCraft than it does the longshot

They don't look alike at all (both Longshot and Impaler). Surprise here, general shape of a rifle as far as the term goes is usually similar. Details however are very different in all these three pictures.

This game looks like it has potential.  Who doesn't like power armor, shielding, and being hot-dropped out of a shuttlecraft?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

Looks decent... all this talk of SST/R:STC (also the name) was making me think maybe it was actually another SST game...

go and look at the gameplay, for example on Gametrailers.

Very very generic.
