 THINK OF MODDING THAT BABY FOR FREESPACE!!!

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

[Dark_4ce]

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...

[Redfang]

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

*wets pants*

[TheCelestialOne]

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

[Styxx]

Hmm... when will the full game be out?

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...

A screenie I took from playing the demo:

Thank God I've got you you sweet sweet machine.

*Looks at FS2 engine*
We need 1000cc's of graphical updates! Stat!

[SlipStream]

  Wooohooooooo

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.

I couldn't agree more.

What do I need to run the demo. I thought it was a teaser or something. It wont work on my dads drive. So I am gonna trey mine and see what happens.  

[DragonClaw]

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.

[Dark_4ce]

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.

[DragonClaw]

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...

[Dark_4ce]

hmm. Well, I never survive long enough for a freeze. So I guess it could be problem as well.
