I’ve had a headache (manifested in my middle finger) from banging my cranium against that glass ceiling ever since first seeing the game. Chris says it’s hard to go back to limited-zoom RTS’s after being able to back all the way up to see the full map in SupCom – he’s putting it lightly. The other reason you should watch this is that I’m still convinced it’s going to be the best thing ever. But it was as hard as ever not to share his enthusiasm. I guess a brain in a jar does everything by thought alone. I got an absolutely wonderful but almost entirely useless interview with him at a party in Beverly Hills a few weeks before E3, in which he spent around half the time trying to explain the hydraulics of the system by which the leader of the Cybrans – a brain in a jar – could move around his tank of preservative by thought alone. He has Quentin Tarrantino’s characteristic spluttering urgency in trying to describe all the cool things he wants to tell you about as quickly as he’s thinking of them.
Taylor’s one of those virtuoso game designers: all zeal and vision and it’s always a pleasure to hear him talk. You can play on custom maps, such as the fucking moon.Īnother trailer of this has just been released, mixing some new game footage with an interview with Chris Taylor. Here’s me discovering that Tech 3 Cybran assault bots can turn tactical missiles around mid-air. The fourth race has kind of awesome cities. Those explosions? Those were battleships. The fourth race has a bomber the size of a stadium. You sure could set a lot of shit to assist a thing. In SupCom 1, heavy shit just walks on the sea bed.Īnd Monkeylords don’t really care about transport fire. This is what a lot of Monkeylords look like. This is what it looks like when you launch torpedo bombers from an aircraft-carrying flying saucer.
This is what it looks like when you launch fighter/bombers from an aircraft carrier. Here’s what’s still cool about the last one. SupCom 2 is now truly brilliant, but it’s still a different game. I was about to send an e-mail to Graham, Rich and Jaz explaining why they should get Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance and play against the AI with me sometime, then I started digging out screenshots for supporting evidence, then I realised I’d put way too much effort into this and that the shots were kinda cool. Why Graham, Rich And Jaz Should Get Forged Alliance
