I want this game *now*.

If it's only half as good as it looks, it's gonna rock my (and everyone else's) socks!

Nice! Looks good. Even sounds (I havent read about it

) like an Empire based game! about time too!

There was a small article in this months PC Gamer. But it was only a small blurb saying that it was shown at E3. But I believe that there should be a half decent article about it in the June issue of PC Gamer (should be out shortly) about the game.

All the writers have very high hopes for it, we can only hope it lives up to our expectations!

I think I may find it suitably distracting. Looks good. I just wonder if it's like a grand master strategy game or a standard mission by mission RST.

I seriously hope for the former. We've seen way too many mission-by-mission RTS games already. The idea of that has grown old five years ago.

Oh Joy!

I can't wait to own it!

And if you look at any current game-magazine, you will see that we haven't seen the end of it. To be blunt, looking at any magazine I have here at this very moment, about 80% of all games released are either RTS or FPS.

I fear that it will be exactly that - RTS.

Someday I'd like to sit down and build a Grand Master Strategy game, if I ever have the disposable income needed to fund it. I have production drafts from as far back as 1997 full of pages and pages of details that I never got around to trying because I didn't know how to code. Perhaps someday I'll rectify the situation.

For those of you who were wondering (Few, I know.

) the concept was to start as a rogue Imperial Warlord and take over the galaxy. In fact "Warlords" was the working title for the project, I just loaned it to General Jansen for his wargame.

And hey, isn't that an Interdictor cruiser I see in the background?

Oh, it will be!

Hmmm, a RTS game for the navy, perhaps...

Certainly better than the "Galactic Battlegrounds" *blergh*

You and I need to talk about a little something Vort and I were discussing a few days ago, regarding a subject very, very, very similar to this, if you catch my drift.

This is sorta off topic, but has anyone else here played "Hearts of Iron 2"?

I was pretty impressed with its level of detail, falling under the grand strategy genre, of course.
