Some brand new Stuff from Supreme Commander 2.

Very keen for this game, but all these games seem so far away, this has been on my wish list for a year, and still no word of a release date, that's probably a good thing though, the old wallet has taken a beating.

edit: that clip is not new, i saw it 6 months ago, BUT last time i didn't watch it all, it shows some experimentals at the end, they are pretty damn cool, but possibly weaker than they were in forged alliance, also not as pretty

Wow...Supreme Commander 2 essentially fixed all the gripes I had with the first one. That was also one impressive demo video. Now I can only hope that my PC can take the toll of thousands of simultaneous blasts going off every second, heh.

Nihilism5285d ago

it uses the same engine as demigod, and in demigod with 100's of units and me cranking the game speed up to 10* ( to travel somewhere fast), it still runs faster than sc1, should run fine

Chaos Striker5285d ago (Edited 5285d ago )

Thanks, very good to know that. I previously played SupCom 1 on a Dell XPS laptop, so that is most likely why I suffered major slowdowns. Now that I have a capable PC (Core 2 Q9550 and an EAH4850), I won't have to worry about that too much.

Nihilism5285d ago

yeah it should run flawless, i have a q9450 o.c to 3.2ghz, and sc1 still punishes my cpu though ( poorly optimised), you can download a program called 'core maximiser' ( possibly with a z instead of an s), and it was made by a modder specifically for supreme commander and forged alliance, it spreads the cpu load accross the cores better so you get better performance, I haven't tested it recently, but it made a huge difference when i was playing it all the time.

History of Real-Time Strategy: The Downfall (2004 - 2010)

VGChatz's Taneli Palola: "There's no question that during these years the overall popularity of the genre took a significant hit, as most games within it specialized even further by adding new elements from other types of games into their gameplay loops and consequently became increasingly niche as the years wore on.

However, this doesn't in any way mean that the period was devoid of great games. Quite the contrary, in fact. Arguably some of the greatest RTS titles ever made came out around this time, and much of this was because many developers were increasingly familiar and comfortable with adding new twists and gameplay elements to the familiar formula. As such, even when the genre's popularity dwindled, many studios were still creating excellent and groundbreaking titles almost every year, just for a smaller audience than in years past."

those were fun years red alert star craft command and conquer well when westwood studio made good games before EA brought them like bioware...

Vegamyster1825d ago

Aside from C&C 4, the other C&C's from EA were all good/great. The genre nose dived once Moba's rose in popularity, even Petroglyph Games (ex-Westwood employees) haven't had a hit since Star Wars: Empire at War (2006), all there games got abandoned after launch.

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for March 2016 any good?

Neil writes "The Xbox Games With Gold scheme for March 2016 is nearly in play, bringing four new free games for Xbox One and Xbox 360 owners. But is the program actually worth getting excited about? Are the Games With Gold titles for March 2016 actually any good, or is it just another waste of your precious download limits?

Well, March is most definitely going to be a bit of a slow burner, but it'll finish on a note that is higher than anything we've seen before."

Can't wait to get stuck into Sherlock again, it got lost in my backlog but having it on digital will encourage me to venture back in.

Dewitt2991d ago

Super excited for both as I have never played them. SH especially intrigues me.

UltraNova2991d ago

LOtF is a Dark Souls rip-off, in the good kind of way, albeit far easier ...that said its a pretty decent, yet short power fantasy light RPG with good visuals.

Now that's free its even better! Give it a try!

creeping judas2991d ago

Never felt like playing full price for Lords Of The Fallen, but I will definitely DL that game and play it. And since there seems to be a lot interest in Sherlock Holmes, I guess I will try that as well.

PS3Freak2991d ago

I'm playing it right now, it's actually a very fun game. Very rewarding when you figure out how to kill an enemy for the first time.
